SOMETIMES, I THINK ABOUT DYING | Omeleto

Фильм және анимация

A young woman thinks about dying. But a co-worker may want to date her.
SOMETIMES, I THINK ABOUT DYING is used with permission from ‎Stefanie Abel Horowitz. Learn more at vimeo.com/stefanieabelhorowitz.
Fran lives alone and works in an office where she makes spreadsheets and goes about her day with a kind of meek invisibility. Pensive and melancholy, she also thinks about death. She isn't necessarily at the edge of crisis, but she questions her very existence and the seeming meaninglessness of life.
But then a co-worker, Robert, takes a romantic interest in Fran. As their gentle flirtation develops, it opens spaces within Fran that may draw her out of her isolation -- but it also could let in a pain that she's long-held at bay.
This Oscars-shortlisted, Sundance-selected drama short -- directed by Stefanie Abel Horowitz, who also co-wrote the script with lead actor Katy Wright-Mead and playwright Kevin Armento -- achieves a gentle yet masterful command of tone and craft, offering a deeply affecting character portrait of a woman mired in social isolation and depression.
Depression, with its atavistic malaise and sense of being "stuck," can be difficult to dramatize, but the film wraps its slender yet finely wrought narrative with a portrayal of Fran's larger psychological landscape that shows the interplay between Fran's thoughts and the ripples they make on the surface of her life.
The visual approach of the short reflects Fran herself, with beautifully composed shots rendered in muted, dusty cinematography that often move with a sense of tentative drift. The sound is also remarkably quiet, emphasizing silence and pauses and adding to the isolation and aridity of Fran's world.
A beautifully written voiceover woven throughout the narrative is key to the film, offering intimate access to the texture of Fran's thoughts as she goes through the motions of work and life. Her thoughts can be richly whimsical and idiosyncratic, revealing a dry, quick wit -- but they also question the very purpose of life itself and disparages Fran's very existence, with a weighty sense of futility that is debilitating and paralyzing.
When Robert enters the story, it gives both the story and Fran a sense of forward momentum, as well as a sweetly tentative charm. Yet the opportunity for intimacy and connection also threatens to unravel the edifice that Fran has erected around herself, and actor and co-writer Wright-Mead's performance delineates the slow destabilization in such a self-contained character with great empathy and precision. The painstaking care in building Fran's character and world pays off, however, in a quietly cathartic conclusion that is both heartbreaking in its sadness yet hopeful in its vulnerability.
SOMETIMES, I THINK ABOUT DYING is unique in films about mental illness in that it doesn't pathologize the condition. It's not presented as a crisis to get through or a condition to overcome, but something deeply ingrained within Fran's very being. There is no tidy conclusion, and the arc of the narrative isn't one of triumphing over the odds. Resolutely unsentimental, it is clear-eyed about how insidious depression is.
Many sufferers of this incredibly common condition will appreciate this, knowing that the hard work of dealing with depression is never such a linear process, but an ebb and flow between isolating numbness and deeply held release. This is a film that honors the reality of how complex and intricately embedded depression can be -- but also honors the tiny yet momentous steps it takes to reach out.

    I think this does a great job of showing what REAL people are thinking and feeling. There are so many who struggle just to get through another day. I'm completely opposite of this woman but I fight every day just to get out of bed to face the doldrums of the twisted reality that we live in today! The last scene was powerful. She gets hit with the fact that someone wants to spend time with her, this broke the flood gate and all of her pain pours out. She was good too, I totally felt it, I believed her. It almost didn't seem like acting.

    I don’t agree. He may have been lonely, as single people are apt to be, but he showed none of the signs that she did. I just think that he was the guy that she needed to get her out of the rut that she was in. It’s almost as if he knew. And he wanted to be there for her. He never pressured her. He just went at her pace.

    small theory: I think the movie that they watched was supposed to symbolize life. At first, when Fran watched it with Robert, she didn't really like it and at the time, seemed to have no willingness to live. Later on, she says that she started to like the movie more and more, perhaps symbolic of how she is finding happiness in her own life through Robert

    I’ve struggled with intrusive harm and suicidal thoughts before, and this definitely relates the loneliness of struggling with that from day to day. The fact that she doesn’t have any hobbies or strong interest in anything shows that she’s become so severely depressed that she doesn’t enjoy life anymore.

    Or at least nothing she wants to share. Usually even depressed people still have some degree of interests. In her case, she seems more paranoid, scared and bitter than disengaged. This seems more like the portrayal of someone who's endured deep trauma and abuse.

    I wish I could tell you the secret to beating depression, but for me it has always been medication, therapy, group therapy and a lot of patience. Also general healthy things like seeing friends, eating right, sleeping and any type of exercise. But be patient and don't be so hard on yourself. Write, in fact write every thought you have. Talk, tell people about what's on your mind. Do something you've always wanted to, a class, a trip a chat with someone. You can always do something different. I see depression as my lowest, so what do I have to lose? I have learned to ride it out, and watch out for the triggers to prevent it next time.

If ur lonely you feel it and you have to be social. Watch the video lonelyness from kurzgezacht on youtube.

    I love how the sound editing uses a crescendo of mechanical droning in multiple places to convey the persistent mental droning of her thoughts. 2:18 to 2:40. The microwave drones on underneath descriptions of dying and being eaten, until the beep clears it all away, and you can even hear her inner narrator sigh at the relief. 8:04 to 9:28. This whole sequence while driving, on the boat, arriving at the destination, she is in a dark mental fog, and rumbling engines slowly build until the vision of the bathtub, which a foghorn finally clears out. 7:34 to 7:48 is very similar also, though it's not really a mechanical drone. The sound the whole way through was fantastic. The main actress can not only act amazingly well, but voice act too. Bravo

I hope this film helps others feel some kind of hope and know that they are not alone. We are all here for each other and if you need a friend, I am here for you.

You are so young with so many wonderful possibilities and experiences in front of you. Something I got my daughter to do was volunteer to be a score-keeper in the various sports leagues that exist in any decent-sized city. They are overflowing with healthy young men who are mostly single. Whether it's basketball, tennis, volleyball, hockey, etc., they all need a scorekeeper. The male/female ratio is 100% in her favor and she's been asked out on many dates and had several relationships develop from doing it. Please, look into it. I think you'll find it time well spent.

If that's the case, does she still want to die when she meets Robert? She doesn't tell him she wants to die but it's so strongly implied. But the audience knows that it's a disaster if she tells him. But I guess it's a disaster if she doesn't tell him. Maybe telling him may save her.

How I could be with someone who couldn't speak, who was so contracted into his own emptiness, who was considered by so many as strange and detached. But he never felt false or shallow to me, which was refreshing and mysterious to me. Even if he struggled endlessly with feeling empty, he was real about it. He was very special to me, and I have yet to meet another soul I felt so deeply close to. These souls require a lot of sensitivity, patience and compassion in order to come out of their shells alittle bit (they never will come out alot, and that is part of their beauty) and share their intense and powerful feelings and ideas with the world. They just need someone to really love them unconditionally.
