To Be (1990) User Reviews

While entertaining, it will also make you think about many philosophical points

[llltdesq · 10/10 · 9 May 2001]

This marvelous short from the National Film Board of Canada is sometimes funny, very creative and entertaining, but ultimately leaves you pondering some very serious subjects and it stayed with me for quite a while after I saw it the first time. It shows on O Canada on the Cartoon Network from time to time. Most Recommended.

Shakespeare would approve

This mesmerizing little Canadian gem has popped up on the Cartoon Network and is hard to come by elsewhere, but make the effort if you can. John Weldon gives us a modern day fable that's both consistently funny and genuinely disturbing. It concerns an amazing invention that's initially intended as a form of "Beam Me Up Scotty" transportation, but ultimately leads to a revelation that could keep the current human cloning debate going on forever. A truly thought-provoking flicker.
