Watch Do Geese See God For Free

Good concept, poorly executed.

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

This movie evidently gets a lot of people very angry. If you are easily frustrated or easily angered by something as simple as a little 10 minute movie, you're probably one of those people who orders stuff on amazon and then checks the order's status every 15 minutes. Relax. Yes, it repeats exactly, and a little editing might have helped. But that's the point - you are supposed to feel uneasy repeating everything exactly, and getting nowhere new. Seeing the same footage again, I looked out for other details - the movie is full of cool details that others have pointed out.I'm not sure what to make of the bum sitting by the subway. My feeling is that he calls attention to his new shoes because he is not caught in the rat race, and hasn't worn them out. Or maybe Amazon needed another product placement. I couldn't make out much of what he said.But take off that watch and relax.

Interesting film but it leaves me unsatisfied.I recognize the looping, undending nature of the film may be part of the commentary, but that doesn't make it any more enjoyable.The fact that I had to watch it in a small window on my screen probably detracted from it as well. I'd rather have it be available in larger formats for those who wish to use up the bandwidth. But that's a separate issue.How a film with so much pseudo-action and intensity made me bellow one of my favorite Homer-isms, "Bo-ring!" is beyond me. I guess that's what happens when you have a good production but a story that really goes nowhere.Then again, maybe I'm just too dim for this film.That said, I LOVE the fact that Amazon is following the "BMW Films" lead. Go Fallon!

A simple commentary on the life of a typical person in today's world, those who are running through life and not getting anywhere. Most people simply exist in this world, they do not live their lives to the fullest. His life is directed by something as simple and ridiculous as cartoon characters, symbolic of how simple and ridiculous the things that direct most peoples lives today. The homeless man is symbolic of where that gets you in life, which is old, broken down. The new pair of shoes symbolic of material possessions but what does it really mean when your life is over? The rose seller is of course representative of stopping to enjoy the life you are living.

I won't pretend to be at all well-versed in short films, but David Slade's Do Geese See God? gets its point across well enough. Here, a man seeks salvation from mysterious instructions giving him arbitrary tasks. In the end, he realizes the foolishness in never stopping to smell the roses, shown here as him never, well, stopping to smell the roses.One could probably interpret it a few different ways, of course. As I described the tasks the man must go through as "arbitrary", I began to wonder whether the director might have intended a subtle jab at religion. The meaning, of course, would not change should this be the case: enjoy the pleasures of life before you waste it looking for something more. Who knows?Though the bit about the roses is a little heavy-handed, everything else is here. Take the 10 minutes out of your life to check it out, its worth the watch, and if it seems repetitive at times... I suppose that is just the point. 8/10, perhaps.
