There are so many films, including this one, spoiled by music which is louder than the dialogue. For the hard of hearing, like me , it is a problem. I caught so many words, but without subtitles I can't say for sure what this film was about. It would be nice if film makers considered everyone in their audience, rather than a select number.

@bjb7587 Год назад

I got almost all the words. Didn't help much.

@devijankowicz9491 11 месяцев назад

Yes, agreed. There was sufficient to provoke thought in the theme, without the attempt to provide unnecessary 'drama' by the intrusion of this music. And I say this as someone whose hearing is at a normal level.

@brucewagner4394 5 месяцев назад

@zethraelofteldrassil3149 Год назад

I must think this short through. Forty years in space, jumping through a wormhole, coming across a "wall", which she entered, finding a second "earth" (I am surmising), then she returned back to Earth? I lost track when the panel spoke of meeting family and friends, and how she was getting on with them. None of her family would still be alive, and she would be over 100 years old. Did she not return to the original Earth, but landed on the planet she discovered? Was it Earth from another dimension? Were the interviewers from that Earth? Help! I am so confused.

@robertgolding Год назад

Unfortunately I failed to understand the point of the short. Too many questions with no answers. 'Nothing' is exactly what I get from it. Did the planet they found end up being where she is now? What is the wall? Why is she being interviewed? Was she blinded from the light? It looked like the returned astronaut was just older, not blind. What about the little thing called time dilation? Just far too many questions and no answers, "nothing" at all.

From the 4:00 minute mark to about 5:30 the music is loud enough to make it difficult to follow the dialogue. Captions would help there as well as with the distorted voices of the interviewers.

@anderstroberg3704 Год назад

Agree. I have a pretty bad case of tinnitus, and music makes it hard to hear dialogue for me. Given the context of this video, it could even be done as a transcript of the interview. Please consider subtitles, there are a lot of us who needs them.

I think you missed some key points in what they said, maybe just watch it again. They said multiple times that she spent 40 years in space, she became the youngest astronaut at 28. Why would she be over 100? Nobody said she is... She returned to her Earth, there's really no indication about the planet that she visited or if that's another dimension but I don't think they're trying to explain that.

@Akira-nw4jl Год назад

there are some clues. the furniture is not modern, the office is not well lit, and the tape recorder is an older model. It's as if she landed at a much earlier time than when she left for space. She went blind because of the darkness (nothing) in space. She has no thoughts and feelings towards what she experienced (nothing).

Why are so many of the comments on Dust shorts the same, particularly the early comments. "This should be a feature length movie". "I want more". etc. It's like it's some sort of bots trying to talk up every movie. This seems like the someone's outline of a story with a little visualization to go with it. It didn't actually feel like a story to me.

Good story but poorly balanced audio. When the music "swells" to portray emotion or significance you miss what is said. She was very soft spoken and much of it was drowned out. You turn up the quiet parts to hear, and then are blasted with loud music again.

@cameltube-vk7el Год назад

Now that is a truth, could have got the sound right because the story was quantum

@0neIntangible Год назад

The mix of the film is mostly intended to be watched in theaters which is the reason for a larger dynamic range, hence the big differences between the quiet parts and loud ones. It will probably be for the best experience to have a a good pair of headphones ;)

@ronbouley4616 Год назад

For the timeline thing, she could simply be doing an interview years or even decades after she returned home. In hyper sleep (cryogenic freezing) she would not have aged, so could have left at 28 years old, and returned to be say 30, then 60 or so years later they interview her.

If they were blind upon reaching the planet, how did they even know what the planet was capable of?

Mmmh. In a way beautiful but... I agree with many of the complaints : the sound is a problem. The music is too loud and that sometimes prevent the listeners to understand parts of the dialogue. There are some distorted moments and one moment when a compression is applied in a weird way. Sound in space (the sound of the spacecraft) is so unscientific, I can't believe people still don't understand how annoying it is to hear that plus... If she travelled 40 years in space, I presume at high speed, everyone she knew on Earth might be dead. Time dilation... simple fact.
