@@carlodave9 That's total fiction... there's no escape, nothing ''white'' in Gaza...

A novel appeared in 1966 by Robert A. Heinlein, called "The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress". It was about a lunar penal colony where, after time, both convicts AND guards could no longer return to Earth fue to the Moons lower gravity weakening proples bones. It was slright to have a short visit, but snything longer, than say a month, would cause irreparable damage to their bones.

Naw, families are illegal in the future, in fact humans will be illegal in the future.

Storytelling tip : you have to give us, the audience, something earlier in the story which lets us believe what happens later in the story. Top question: why should we believe that a low-level thief who cannot even steal a loaf of bread can overcome the entire crew of a lunar transport run by a powerful, advanced, authoritarian government? Close second: why should we believe that this same thief, returning to the same city and area of that city where he was caught before isn't going to just be caught again? Other questions abound: How is he able to pilot the shuttle? Does this same powerful, advanced, authoritarian government have zero defenses between the Moon and the Earth? Where would he take the info he learned to broadcast it? Why would he be believed? (Again, in a world dominated by a powerful, advanced, authoritarian government.) etc., etc., etc. Yes, there is such a thing as willing suspension of disbelief, but as the storyteller, you have to give the audience something that makes us willing.

Connecting the dots would strongly suggest the back story you seek. This could be the teaser for more to come. In which case, the unrevealed explanations would pique interest and be manifest as the story unfolds. For example to the questions "Does this same powerful, advanced, authoritarian government have zero defenses between the Moon and the Earth? Where would he take the info he learned to broadcast it?", the revelations might include that he has allies on the inside. This would also explain one of the dots, which is his absolute confidence that he would be returning to Earth. Enough is revealed to inspire thoughtful speculation and pique curiosity.. Storytelling tip: Not all stories have a chronologically linear progression.

Not understanding why the robots have that silly voice. Just speak English or not at all. Distorted voice doesn’t work well.

I don't get why they talk at all. Seems they would just radio transmit code to each other, but then then we wouldn't hear what's going on, right? I mean, it's part of the story and the silly voice just makes it all the more sinister. Oh well...

An intriguing premise.

I'm not one for giving compliments, but that was excellent!

Very creative way you crammed so much story into 6 minutes of film. Others in comments section might not be able to piece it all together in a coherent way, but I enjoyed your film very much.

Well done!

That's well done - thanks for posting!

If you were desperate for food that you need to steal it, why would you drop the bread when running away? 🤔

Why such a voice for the robot.?? 😔

Somehow, according to the blurb, this story of expanded and intensified state power is to be taken as a commentary on the evils of "capitalism". Just what is that word intended to mean here?

@@melissareiter2962I'm old, and what you say isn't new; it's been going on for as long as I can remember. What I see here are depictions of traditional roles in order to tell a story, not social commentary on how women are put in places they never belonged. Would the story be different if the roles were reversed? Maybe, but not much. Like the other commenter said, you're seeing what you want to see, and I would add that it's not the story. If you want to be critical, there are other comments to make about this short that are more relevant.

This is prophecy.
