[quote] Okay, it's time for you to take a quick four-minute
break. This little animated gem was put together by student
filmmaker Luke Randall back in 2009 — and it quickly won him
over 20 different awards.
For such a tiny and simple film, it packs a lot. The little
robot can be seen as a modern version of Icarus, a character
driven to the edge by its own hubris. Or, the tiny robot's
plight can be seen as a representation of the human condition,
one filled with constant yearning — and frustrating constraints.
The short also speaks to the limitations of technology.
Or I could simply shut up, and just let you watch it for
yourself. [/quote]
