Lot⁴⁹A short film about modern life.
Doug Warren@12thRITS This movie is great! I'm so glad it showed up in my smartphone feed. Welp, time to scroll through 300 inches of text and watch four thirty-second ads to get a recipe for bread.
Throwaway@12thRITS you have 10 thousand posts(I believe mastodon rounds it down not up) You joined on November 4th 2022 (248 days ago) 10000/248 = 40.3 posts/day
You post 40 times per day consistently you can’t be the person to complain about “modern life phone”
@Threw111away Hah! So true!

Tom Armstrong@12thRITS This is a Moby video clip (https://www.songfacts.com/facts/moby/are-you-lost-in-the-world-like-me)… and it’s always rubbed me the wrong way.
I can’t disagree with “these systems are failing”, but some things about the video bug me. There’s a sexist/slut-shaming aspect to the way it depicts women, for one.
The video picks on the people filming police violence with their phones, as though that hasn’t been a powerful tool for exposing and addressing police wrongdoing (also, what else *should* they do?)
@12thRITS On the whole, it’s always seemed like a facile “TECH AND PHONES R BAD, WHY CANT PPL BE CIVILISED ANYMORE??” take, where I wish it had a little more sympathy for the people shown, and a little more curiosity about those failing systems.
100% on the money in depicting the postural dangers of “tech-neck” though 😜
**self-consciously straightens posture**
spherulitic@tom_armstrong @12thRITS this completely — it’s a superficial piece that reads like the creator hasn’t spent any time actually thinking about the problems in society.
@spherulitic @12thRITS There’s some painful irony in the animator’s use of a circa-1930s visual style for the animation.
People who’d love to turn back the clock to the 1950s or earlier tend to forget (or don’t care) that there are many people for whom things in that era were… less ideal.
That said, if we’re talking Sci-fi time-travel assassination schemes, there’s a climate-based argument for stopping the Koch brothers and Rupert Murdoch in time 🤔

Ben Rush@12thRITS This is the video for Moby’s Are You Lost in the World Like Me.

Christoph Werner 🔶️@12thRITS I "like" the music version much more. It hits my heart.

pafurijaz@12thRITS But is it the fault of the cell phone or the human being?
Karim Le Vallois@12thRITS This is so accurate it’s scary!
Thorwegian (old account)@12thRITS this is the kind of thing where i think everyone knows it's like this - so, the film is saying nothing new - but no one's willing to change.
Nik Silver 🇺🇦@12thRITS That was great. To credit and round up the sources, though... Google "Search for a song" (and Reddit) tells me the music is from the Amelie soundtrack (2001). https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=znfYwABeSZ0 As mentioned by @tom_armstrong the video originally accompanied a Moby song (2016): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VASywEuqFd8 After all of that, Wrayder used the music to back one of their tracks (2021): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZbeY8LjO1Q
@pigsaw @tom_armstrong Thanks. My wife sent me the film and said it had won a best-short-film prize at the Venice Film Festival, and that the director was 20 years old. That was all I knew when I posted it. I had no idea so many would see it, like it, boost it.
Rob@12thRITS he also does fantastic illustrations! https://www.stevecutts.com/illustration.html

mmu_man@12thRITS it's actually the clip for a Moby song named "Are You Lost In The World Like Me?", which is even more depressing than this music.
