Have you seen this clip? If not then be patient and take time to watch it.. It's about five household objects expressing their feelings. The story may sound abit cliche for some and others can relate to each situation based on their experiences but no matter how you feel about the movie, let me just say thanks and praise to the creator and director for an awesome cinematography. Plus the sounds/music suits the movie as well.


"She tells me she wants to be a a raindrop.. She doesn't mind falling, as long as she's not alone, and raindrops are never alone.."


The objects..

Glasses - The glasses represent sight. In a relationship, there are times when our one desire is to share with the other person. We hope to offer a new perspective. To learn and grow from each other in that way. To show the world. Unfortunately, nothing stays clear forever. Many things can blind us: jealousy, doubt, overthinking, and ironically, comfort.

Telephone – The phone represents hearing. Relationships can’t exist without listening and communication. Sometimes, circumstances prevent people from communicating face to face. That distance greatly effects them. We hear about experiences when what we really want is to live them. Words can only go so far. The phone is interesting because it is constantly eavesdropping on our talks. What would that feel like? To always be talked to but never the subject of conversation. It must hurt to be so unknowingly ignored.

Umbrella  – The umbrella represents touch. The very simple idea of being close enough to touch someone. Physical contact. To be able to hold, cover, protect. These are basic parts of a relationship we hope to fulfill. Essentially an umbrella reflects occasional necessity. But who would want that? To feel needed when it’s only convenient.

Scarf – The scarf represents smell. The intimacy of knowing someones scent is very special. It’s a privelege that isn’t easily shared and is often overlooked. It may sound ridiculous, but who are the people you can identifty with smell? Most likely those that you are very close with. People you have known for more than awhile. Also, scents can fade. Physical contact carries and transfers a scent but when that contact disappears, the scent is no longer.

Cup – The cup represents taste. More specifically, the cup represents a kiss. And a kiss is the most universal symbol of love and affection. The fact that it describes a first kiss is even more significant. A first kiss is innocent and naive. We cherish it as though it will last forever. But when the cup is broken, the kiss is no longer possible– just like a relationship.

 


Description of the objects were taken from director's notes at their official site.

If you've finished watching the movie, read through all this, and If I made you feel awkward in any way..
Forgive me.. I didn't mean it to be that way.. Just read this again to make you feel better.
