Great Music and Great Acting!!!
Back is more of an extended music video than a short film, but it's perfect excellent either way.STORY:
Net has a fight with his girlfriend. His co-worker Jame comes to cheer him up. Net and Jame slowly start to develop strange feelings for each other. One day Jame walks in on Net giving a break up hug to his now ex-girlfriend. Jame misunderstands and quits his job. Net yearns for Jame, and can't contact him until Jame suddenly returns.
It's a very odd synopsis, I know, but go watch it now! Words don't do this film justice!
It's a great film and the music is superb. The music yearns for love, just like the characters on the screen. I can't really speak too much about the plot because it's more of a watch and feel film. There is very little dialogue, but the acting really carries the film. The actors were amazing in showing us how they slowly fell in love with each other. The actors have great chemistry and their acting is really the cherry on top.
Net X Jame
Net and Jame start off as co-workers, but you can see how they fall for each other. I really enjoyed how there was no prejudice against Jame for getting a little too comfy with Net. He was completely okay with it as if boys falling in love with boys is a common thing. I wish more people would be open minded like that. I'm confused as to why Jame returned because I didn't see Net chasing him or explaining anything to him. Maybe Jame just wanted to see Net one last time and got lucky? That's the only thing that bugs me about the film... Aside from the lack of a hug or kiss... or actual confirmation that they got together in the end... But I can just assume so judging by the way they look at each other.
MUSIC:
I hardly do a music review because it's usually the last thing on people's mind, but because this is an extended music video I will talk about it.
The music is amazing and the vocalist is amazing. He has a really good voice and there is so much emotion in the song. I can't help but put it on repeat. I'm definitely going to download the song after this. You should too!!
Overall:
Back is a great film. The music and the acting really make up for the basic storyline, but who cares. Net and James really have great chemistry and it really sold the music and film. Definitely recommend watching it. You won't regret it!
