Watch Aspirational For Free

Very disappointing...

best movie i've ever seen.

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

This mere 3 minute short film pretty much sums up everything about what's wrong with today's "selfie generation", and it does so very effectively. Remember the old aphorism that "a picture is worth a thousand words"? Well apparently that's not the case anymore in this day and age. Youths are so consumed by the online world of social media that they literally don't care about the real world anymore. As you can tell from this short, the two adolescent girls have zero intentions on socializing with a real life person and only care about how much "likes" they get on their posts. It really shows how social media has turned us from normal sociable human beings into self-absorbed narcissistic individuals that get their positive reinforcements from a virtual world instead of their real one. There's even a phobia now (called nomophobia) for people who get anxious when they aren't able to check social media on their phones. So for the highly effective message this puts out in only 3 minutes, I give it a 10. Have a child that is addicted to posting selfies on social media? Show them this short quick video and they'll finally see how silly this generation is. P.S. Don't even bother reading the other "review" on here. It completely negated the entire purpose of this short and instead focused on something so trivial like the actor.

"Aspirational" is a 2.5-minute live action short film and possibly the most known work by writer and director Matthew Frsot. The reason why this one is somewhat known is probably lead actress Kirsten Dunst in here. I read she has been tremendous on Fargo recently and she is an actress who despite her relatively young age has been successful in the movie industry for a long time, so no surprise this one draws some attention. But it really isn't convincing. It's basically about Dunst standing outside and waiting and what happens when a duo of girls show up and ask her a somewhat unusual favor. I guess this film is supposed to poke fun at the new media and direction it all takes, but honestly, it just wasn't a funny watch at all. And another problem was that I never felt as I was really watching Dunst herself. She was so much in character that it just wasn't working at all. Really unsatisfying result and even at under 3 minutes a massive waste of time for everybody who isn't a huge Dunst fanboy. Don't watch.
