Way Out (2017)

Low budget, short film.

Clicked on this one in YT without expecting something. It scream low-budget film and the cinematography is not great. However, I was hooked with its story telling with deaf character. I was honestly wondering why the main is not communicating properly, only to find out that he is deaf which added to the short films drama. I think if the production has enough budget, they can make this more interesting.

Also, I love, love, love the OST. I am not sure if I heard the song used in other Tawian BL (HIStory 1 or 2). It was the thing that actually hooked me to continue watching after the glaring DIY-like cinematography.

Trying to send a Great Message, but not really delivering on it

Don't bother watching it.

~~ STORY ~~

The synopsis was great, but the script fails spectacularly. The dancer is seen taking care of the swimmer, but at no point does he convince swimmer to swim again. The film ends just as the swimmer starts to feel like he can smile again. The ending where they fall into the pool and swim was quite rushed. The ending was a "What did I just watch?" type of ending because it was so rushed.

~~ ACTING ~~

The acting was great, but was wasted on a lackluster script.

This film has very little spoken words, so that should speak for how good their acting is.

~~ OVERALL ~~

Don't bother watching this. It's a waste of time.

What you get with 25 minutes..

Having just watched this on youtube I can confidently say, what was the point of this?

This was in short, weird. It's an easy watch if you got a half hour to waste and want to question what you did with it.
The plot is basically swimmer can't swim because of thieving incident, let's be mad at dancer boy/friend (?). There wasn't enough plot, even with that amount of time, I feel like you could've tried a bit more and gave some information.

From what I gathered, I liked the acting, they stayed in character and seemed liked they tried with that.

Can't judge the music, I watched a copy of this where the audio was messed up.

If you want to rewatch this, go ahead, try to make sense of it for a second time.

Even though I've said things wrong with this short film, they did have some nice aesthetic shoots and a few original ideas for certain scenes. Let me know if you check it out and what your thoughts are.
