CinemaSerf7 Jun 26, 2025Why are all alarm clocks so irritating? No wonder most of us are so grumpy in the morning when those electronic bullies are so often our conduit to a new day. They are not the only gadgets we rely upon as we live our lives. Indeed, from trains, traffic lights, elevators and our essential workplace computers we are completely dependent on technology for just about everything. Then an hungry, nesting, blackbird spots a nice juicy worm. Or is it? Will it nourish the young chicks or will it bring society grinding to an halt? This is quite a potent short feature that busily showcases humanity’s dependencies and at just how hopeless we can become when the routine is compromised or broken. Do we even know what our purpose is anymore, or if we do do we have any sense of prioritisation or realism any more? I might be overthinking it, but it does encourage a bit of that.
