This time (away)
This short produced by Dust (see YouTube channel) just touched me. I don't often get touched. I cry often, because I am touched by sportspersonship or people caring about animals, or what what. About a cranky man who pushes everyone away and then finds a robot that doesn't give up. The robot is industrious and changes him, waking him up to being in his life. This is a thread that runs through my life. Something primal because it has been a fascinating theme from the get-go. Almost every film I love has this thread. Butterflies are Free, Bobby Deerfield, so many. It's like I was reincarnated from a life with this theme. Pixie dreamgirl-ish trope. The overlap of robot-pixie. They are making pixie dreamgirls. Even when they make robots in the form of men, because they are there to serve, they are feminised through their role. This is the patriarchal world we live in that is using capitalism to make servants with male names, who are women. Source: This Time Away. https://youtu...
