The Sandbox

When I clicked on the IMDb icon to play this film, I was a bit surprised to see that the summary says this short film was inspired by Akira Kurosawa's film DREAMS. It takes a lot of nerve making such comparisons, as comparing a low-budget independent short to a classic film and a man of Kurosawa's talents seemed a bit too much--and made me expect near perfection. When the short ended up looking a lot like a Playstation 1 or PS-2 cut scene, it really irritated me as the comparison seemed even more ludicrous. My advice is that you might want to rewrite this summary--it doesn't seem to work and it didn't particularly remind me of DREAMS--and I doubt if it will do this for other viewers as well.
