More About "Unregistered"
Set five minutes in the future, UNREGISTERED presents a sinister glimpse of Los Angeles following the passage of a one-child policy. Eighteen-year-old REKKER is desperately in love with his classmate ATA, who insists upon recording their interactions with her contact lens camera. Despite Rekker's efforts to connect with Ata, she refuses to put the camera away and live in the moment. Upon witnessing the government capture of a younger boy suspected of being an illegal second child, Rekker starts to question the world in which he lives, and encourages Ata to do the same.

I'm bothered by the unregistered kid picked up by the scanners. Why did he look so surprised? Where were his instincts? How did he manage to make it this far and then suddenly have no apparent plan? I wish we saw more cracks in the surveillance system to make evading it for so long more plausible. (But if he was so good at evading, why did he stop!?)

@coopercovelo 3 жыл бұрын

it was alluded to that the population may have been decreasing, and maybe they were implying that he was taken not because he was the second child, but perhaps he was the first, and was taken due to a government "State of Emergency", but it has become such common place in society, that everyone just accepted he was the (believed to be) second child, and this was just another normal thing to happen during a day. I was half expecting for a happy couple to go live "off the grid" and escape from it all.

@@Pj-hv3nw Is it though? Think about it. She was already imprisoned. There was no hope for her for the rest of her life... stuck in a cell... that she's spent 20 years in... The constant fear overhanging you, living your life through another's eyes. To her.. perhaps being sent to live in a work camp was a more rational choice. It's not unlike being encased in you home during a pandemic that lasts decades. People are going CRAZY right now... imagine decades of it. Incidentally, I'd be curious about the implications for the family who knowingly sheltered her all that time. What happens to them? I do think they could have stretched it out a bit though. Like, he goes in the prison with her at first... and then says... there's a place I've always wanted to see... in real life and then they go to the forest area... at some point, they say they've got 10 minutes before the next sweep and she makes a conscious decision to stay... and then forcing him to make a decision... saying that if he's found with her, he'll be sent to the camp as well.... meaning he has to sacrifice his freedom to act on the words that he said at the beginning... And then you do one of a few things: - He makes the sacrifice (happy ending, I) - She has covertly stolen his ID through some fancy ID transfer that her dad has "designed" ( cynical ending ) - The ending is left ambiguous somehow... (unsatisfying but thoughtful ending)

For starters, during the disastrous One Child Policy in China, additional children were not taken to any camp nor were they arrested, but instead the parents were given a massive fine which is commensurate to the parents' annual income. However women caught pregnant with child beyond the first might be aborted against her will (which is obviously horrible). In reference to this video, having twins/triplets/quadruplets etc is actually okay and the government didn't fine couples for having more than one baby in a single pregnancy.

@davids3539 3 жыл бұрын

It's a well shot film, though there were a few issues that I think came from reducing the run time. First was the kid who got caught after clearly a very long time evading detection which doesn't reconcile with the level of surveillance we saw. Second was the guy accepting the illegal sister. Unless the legal sister was doing and saying everything as commanded by the illegal one (and even then it's a stretch), he's in love with the legal sister. The legal sister telling him that her sister loves him so he should go with her instead makes no sense. Third was the illegal sister not staying hidden at the end. She just needed to pop back in there until the scan was over, but now she's going on the run with a guy who made a promise of protection to someone else, while leaving her government employee parents to deal with the fallout of an 18-year deception (surely pregnancy scans would pick up twins?), which must have been drilled into her from a very young age. The ending of this film was really a let down :( I also didn't like that the legal sister picked a contact lens off the ground and put it back on her eye after just blowing the germs off.

@Elani Arkady, I think you are correct. It would seem that Emily was actually the sister who was in love with Rekker. Ata’s comment about being too young to love was as much a message to Emily as it was to Rekker. As far as being creepy, I think the filming had been going on for a long long time and Ata knew the impact it was having on her sister and wanted to distance herself emotionally from Rekker for Emily’s sake. This simple little movie was quite deep in my opinion.

My point here is that even in totalitarian societies (Communist China comes to mind), there is a hierarchy even among the elites! In Orwell's 1984, there was the "inner party" and the "outer party." Well, in RL, it acts much the same way. Those of the lower party who wish to become members of the higher party must play by a different set of rules to earn those privileges. Heck, those who follow American politics see it happening here, in the USA! It is the same among the 'cultural' elites as it is among the 'political' elites. Witness the cancelation of leftist J.K.

My husband and father to our two year old with autism is unable to come to my country due to immigration rules that were imposed the last few years. We, my son and I spent two months with his daddy until covid happened and we had to come home without him. Every second of my day I cry inside for him with pain that I cannot ever put into words. So whenever you get that feeling to hug your wife-DO IT. Most don’t realize how lucky they are that the one they love is a simple walk, drive or even flight away. We can do none of those. But I’d like to hope my husband has the same feeling you do but I can’t see him or feel him or touch him to know. Have a beautiful day. 💕

Marvellous perfect short movie… except the ending. Of all people involved with Emily (Emily herself included) and knowing her status, who would put her in such danger, without even moving a finger? Doesn't this destroys the whole story? Doesn't this lower the overall quality of this movie from a 10/10 to a mere 8/10? Or is is to indicate future people are totally unaware, irresponsible and only guided by lower emotions instead of growing into love? Thanks for answering this last question.

No, because it landed inside facing up. The part that touches the eyeball was facing up into the air. The part touching the ground was the outside of the contact. Finding it in the first place was more unbelievable.

This is an amazing short! Absolutely loved this! Amazing all around. It reminds me of another short (I think from Dust), that I have been searching for for years....same premise, but the girl is in a room in the basement. Parents make her believe the world ended and she has to stay in the basement. When she escapes she sees a standard house/neighborhood but families are only allowed one child and she is the second. Anyone have an idea where I can find that? I saw it once maybe 2-3 years ago, have wanted to share, but cannot for the life of me find where it is. But kudos on this, the acting/graphics/mood of this was brilliant! Well done to all.

Remarkably well done. Not an entirely new concept, but certainly presented in its own unique way. The visuals, CGI, acting, all of it first rate. As for this becoming a potential reality in the future, it would never happen in our current version of "democracy", but that does not mean it couldn't happen.
