My Biker (2023)

Les difficultés de communication

C'est un court métrage à petit budget alors je ne ferais aucune critique sur la production en elle-même.
Cela nous raconte les difficultés de dire les sentiments, les maladresses d'expression ( Gentle qui se fâche à cause de l' "abandon" de Motor qui est allé à un rendez-vous amoureux.) et les tâtonnements pour se connaître. La narration peut paraître un peu brouillonne mais elle est logique, il manque juste un peu explications sur la relation entre la jeune fille et Motor ( ils ont eu un problème dans le passé : a-t-il pardonné? a-t-il passé l'éponge et rien dit à la jeune fille? ou veut-il continuer coûte que coûte cette relation afin de cacher ses véritables sentiments? Le narrateur nous laisse peut-être le champ libre pour notre imagination. Sinon c'est doux et j'ai aimé que l'on est le temps de voir l'histoire se dérouler.

confusing short movie

Overall: I really wanted to like this movie but I did not like one of the lead characters and was confused by the timeline/plot. 35 minutes, aired on Wayufilm's YouTube channel.

What I Liked
- production value
- the actors did a good job
- the ending scene was sweet

Room For Improvement
- the timeline was confusing, the friends met up and Motor had a scar, they went on a ride but then their clothes changed (I think this was a continuity error though), then Motor hung out with his girlfriend and the other guy got unreasonably angry, then there was a flashback to a year ago where the same girlfriend he was dating in the present cheated on him and Motor got into an accident, then in the present (a year later) Motor decided to break up with his girlfriend???
the above would have made sense if that was a different girlfriend but I re-watched and it definitely seems to be the same actress, why didn't Motor break up with her for a year after that incident? or was she not actually cheating and he was just sad that she cancelled plans but they kept dating? but his friend didn't know he was dating for a year???

- didn't like how Gentle got angry at Motor when he spent time with his girlfriend, then Gentle doing the silent treatment and basically threatening to end the friendship, it would have made more sense if we had seen a montage of Motor constantly cancelling plans with Gentle last minute
- some of the scenes dragged a bit and could have been cut for faster pacing
- they seemed to establish both of them as straight with the girlfriend stuff and then talking about never holding a guy's waist before, felt like a 'gay for you' trope
