A Glimpse | Rachel Shenton stars in this award-winning short film about the price of love 

Thanks very much for that information which, for me, adds greatly to the experience of watching this film.

Oh, thanks for the info! 👍😉

Wow they are a gorgeous couple and this looked natural. Like 2 strangers.

Thanks for the information. And I just reread your name: Robert and Holly Scorpio fan. Brings back pleasant memories of watching afternoon soap operas:)

@@leahghiradella3253 i missed much of their story, being in high school, and summer activities. I was glad to stumbled upon two channels here on youtube that have most if not all, of the story, I’ve been trying to catch up on what i missed.

I expected all of it to be a fantasy , and in reality i thought he was going to not be interested but i was wrong.

It’s been done in Pixar’s “Up” and too many tv commercials to count.

Don't be silly. This is one billionth of the story of an entire relationship.

makes you realise how much of our time we've wasted on some of the rubbish other filmmakers put out to justify millions paid out to actors/actresses for 1-2 hrs of 'film'.

Yes, and to listen to and follow your inner voice rather than choose to overlook the signals. They are always there and so often we choose to silence our inner voice because we're so hopeful. We want the other person to be "the one" and we rush into the relationship, often letting our "biology" run our decisions. Well done film. Sad that so many can't work it out

Why is that? :)

Saw it, excellent, I wonder if fate will honor her talent.

I saw that, yes, she was excellent. How about Maisie Sly, who played Libby? Such a natural.

She is also great in All Creatures Great and Small, where I first saw her.

I did:) and I cried

I just watched it! It's amazing.

He knows the relationship will end because of him or his problem with hsi wife being workaholic so he just has to manage it because it's not toxic it's just his too much concern of having a family rather than a support.

@yumbunny256 Yes I see it the same way as you, but for towards the end. How else would he know if his premonition of how it will all go, will end as he thinks, without taking the chance to ask her out, to have the relationship and see where it goes ? Or else the montage is how the relationship went from start to finish. Just compressed to fit into a 10 minute film.

I appreciate your interpreting this for me. I think you're right, but was having trouble figuring it out for myself!

Maybe he's unconsciously pursuing--and settling for--a workaholic that he knows won't give him any more attention in the long run than he gives to his own (as yet undiscovered) passion. Or maybe he can't face himself & she who is work-distracted also serves as a distraction for him? Does she know who she is outside of her admittedly dull job (behind which she's hiding from life)? I feel neither character is truly aligned with their own Self; they decide to shelter in each other's disconnection from Truth until it is no longer viable for them to do so. This is not a love story, in my opinion.

@@writerforlifeify Ah but the truth of the psychology of our 'lovers' is born from our experience gained with, for straight men, their mother, for girls, their fathers. Therefore if his mother was a 'busy' woman, full of distractions, our lead man will recognise this in this female mate, and be attracted to her because she feels like 'home'. Where and how he learned to love. In this he can relive the trauma he experienced with his mother who was always being distracted away from him, of whom he eventually had to walk away from, as he grew up. Having grown up he left his mother with a somewhat indifferent attitude, just as he relives with this lover. She ,the mate, may have had a father who was either physically or emotionally absent, or both, and, the only recognition she got from him when he did pay her attention, was to look at her work, or school work, and how busy she was. [Not a bad line of thought since men maketh themselves through their work] So she is immersing herself in a never ending tail chasing lifestyle in the belief that this will gain her the attention of a male partner. And it does for the reasons given. So I agree with you. This is no love story. It is a story of a relationship that is doomed to fail, that is also so typical of normal life for many people. The 'passions' we engage in become coping mechanisms to fill the time between the gaps when we get the love we so desperately need. Except another distraction comes along and pulls the rug from under us again, and again, and again. Until we've had enough of the pain. Or in the case of the man, he gives too much attention which exceeds the attention given by the father, in which case it becomes 'smothering' to the girl and he is perceived as too needy. She can't breath for the closeness.

Life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

Thank you for writing this. Specially the last words of the paragraph 🌈✨. Please don't regret anything otherwise it won't let you move on... We carry some secrets only with us and God. He knows us He loves us and he cares for us.. we'll die eventually please don't spend your days and nights in any sort of disappointment about urself. I happened u learnt and u made a brave decision (Ma Shaa Allah), i am happy for you. It's great that you moved on. Take care 🌟

@@tailgatecarpenter26 Oh, that's priceless! Red flag over pizza. She crossed her boundaries, exposed her intentions & you astutely & brusquely pulled the plug on her plans. Well done.

Sometimes, when you take a wrong turn in life, it would be nice to go back to that saved point and try again.

On a side note: I do have two beautiful children. In the long view? I didn't truly love either of their fathers but I surely love them. They are my soul mates.

Yes! Living, is about the experience, the journey... But, often I like to project myself into the destination! 😉

Michelle Simmons Hi ! Your comment caught my attention! If I can console you, about not being able to go back to that 'saved' point, about not having tried harder, I'm not sure that would've been more fulfilling... Sometimes, it's just better to not try so hard. At least, to know when not to. I just wish sooo much that I hadn't tried sooo hard!!! In every field of my life. It was such a struggle, and so painful... My God, did I wear myself out, trying, again and again. Never giving up. Over and over... Now, I'm so tired, burned out. I can't find the energy anymore to even get through my days properly! Nothing really stimulates me, nor motivates me... Life is just a bore. Which is something so strange to feel, for me. As I always had lots of things going, and have travelled the world. Lived/ worked in various countries. But, in conclusion, life is always the same, everywhere. People can be sooo disappointing and horribly nasty. Especially when one has a good heart, and caracter, like mine. So many have taken advantage of that, even when I didn't let them! Ugh. I pray that God heals me, fully, and gives me the strength and motivation, but especially the right people, and right life partner! 🙏 And a very interesting profession on my 'new' path, so that my efforts get due pay, at long last!! 🙏🙏🙏 Take care, you still have lots to live for, and the energy you saved be used now! 😉 Wisedom helps to move in better ways! 🌸🌟

@@andreasdesigns you're so right

Ah, it IS a movie. To me.

Needs nothing more. It's perfect.

This short drama is like a beautiful flower pressed in a book, which retains its colour. It is what it is & doesn't need anymore.

...beautifully edited!

Even better at 2:46 - "Wow! You're a real charmer!" When he is shown sitting on a toilet bowl!

woow woow woow, hold on! Is it really his fault that this didn't work out? Maybe when you see lonely woman in her late twenties who is obsessed with work - run the other way?

These are a couple in real life and with couple of hollywood Oscar's under there belts...

tbh i think the point was that they ultimately broke up because they were too different in terms of lifestyles/time/ambitions. its not a "his fault" versus "her fault"

...or calmly walk away and don't look back. ... for sure!🎶🙋‍♀️

@@elizabethbennet4791 I got the impression they argued over having babies - I think he would have been a great father.

It's the only thing with heart and soul left in it.

!

Absolute agreed.

I am a Brit but live in USA . I have seen Rachel only in “All Creatures”. I was not aware of her other work. She is so talented and has a wide range.

I agree 100%!!! The magnificence of this is precisely because it is a short film! Just brilliantly executed!

They are married in real life apparently.

Perhaps you meant heartbreaking? Heart touching doesn't make sense.

🙏🙏🙏

nooooooooooo

😪🙏🙏

Sorry

Oh no

A chef's kiss sums it up nicely.
