Am I the only one who noticed the ending was wrong? The box should not have been balanced by one man alone. The box plus one man took the other four to balance. At the end he should have required another two men to balance the box by itself.

Maybe the box contained their souls and as each one died and their souls faded away the box got lighter?

First I'd seen this... pretty clever and clearly has a relationship to risk, but don't think I'd watch it again. Weird as hell.

I hadn't seen it before, and I think it's brilliant.

Definitely escalating cards.

The guy hanging off the edge was obviously the weakest player but only had 2 cards. No point taking him out till last as wouldn't be able to use the cash in.

that was a really cool short. well made.
have you ever seen an idealist with grey hairs on his head?
or successful men who keep in touch with unsuccessful friends?
you only think you did
i could have sworn i saw it too
but as it turns out it was just a clever ad for cigarettes.

At the they weren't standing on the very edge when at the end he was.
I'm pretty sure there's a lot more to life than being really, really, ridiculously good looking. And I plan on finding out what that is.

This could be a metaphor for a lot of things, like society in general, but I think it was intended to be a metaphor for international relations.

You make a move, everyone has to adjust, or the whole thing goes off-kilter. The box is something major, like nuclear weapons or some other major world event. It causes everyone else to have to react waay more than usual, and it throws everything out of whack.

I promised not to bump this thread too often, and it's been five months so there should be plenty of fresh eyes to appreciate or hate this video.

For those who haven't seen it...enjoy!

for those that didn't like it...well...there's no reason to pay attention then, is there?

See you again around February!

Loved it.
This one's great too - not quite as thought provoking perhaps, but with a message all the same.
