646f9e108c A young man does battle with his inner anxieties, fighting them with a giant, nuclear-powered robot in the urban labyrinth of his mind. Really enjoyed this short film – It's a window into the emotional experience and frustration of personal relationships today, and how we build fortresses around ourselves. I'm a robot nerd so I loved the armor/robot imagery throughout. The main character has to confront questions of his relationship with his mother, his ex girlfriend, his self-worth – and it's all manifested through battle scenes and an ongoing conversation with a disturbed psychiatrist-type figure. It reminded me very strongly of the struggle between the emotionless existence we live in major U.S. cities, and the desire to reach out to someone – but you only meet the main character's ex-girlfriend through his own hangups and emotional processing of the end of their relationship.
