"My Precious"

 
About:
Film represents with the help of the literal translation, a man's feeling to a machine,yet not directly. The nostalgia to the times of steam, the brass buttons, carved embellishments, the times of practical art and omnipresent beauty... A Hero appears on a railway cemetery, he finds there, as if in the world of spirits, a worn-out machine, on which he could be a driver, 40 years before, but this time is gone. He could have been a proud man, proud of himself and the machine, and not an insulated pervert not realizing the truth of the present reality.
Year of production:

I understand yes, probably not the exact way I would do it... but sure. The idea is the main point. I have one question (actually two): At the spot I marked off on the timeline with pink, are the second and third rows of trains edited in? (Missing tracks, and strange lighting led me to believe so. Also the third track on the right with fresh rocks.) Maybe it is the the camera or compression on this website. If it is edited, that is quite good. There were some other spots that made me scratch my head... (second question) How did you get to submit two videos with out problem. I can not seem to do that.

I wrote 'pervert', becouse people in Poland don't understand a feeling into machine. If someone told that he is interested in railway or machine like steam engine, people percept him like a pervert. You are right! One of messages is that This hero live in past, but He isn't bad, he is only deep, incomprehensible.

Everyone else is too scared to comment... I'm not! ...but really, why did the director (or engineer lol) use the word 'pervert' to describe someone who lives in the past. If someone likes jazz music, which originated in the 1920s, how would that make them a pervert? I can see the idea, 'things from the past fading away'... minus 'pervert'. That makes sense. But then, the video -- WHAT?! The whole 'past fading away' idea just went out the window. I thought that it would have been portrayed by a deteriorating steam train and a conductor crying on a bench at the yard, or anything else, God! If art has a real message, it shouldn't speak in riddles. I like jazz.

(someone else please comment here) =]
