Hi,

I just saw the film, wow, I must say, I am really slow. I didn't get the ending until I had read some posts on this forum. But once I got the ending, I enjoyed the film a lot more.

I agree, I love that shot of the plane, and especially of the main character as he was holding the roses and closing the boot of the car, I'm not sure why. Maybe it was just me, but during the whole film I didnt' really notice the 'shaking' in the church that people were talking about. Overall, I quite enjoyed the short.

I reviewed this movie on TriggerStreet
 

Hi there...

Yeah, I reviewed this movie on TriggerStreet on 11/11 of this year. I haven't paid a visit to this site in a month or so. Been too busy spending alot of time on TriggerStreet, thanks to Dylan Couper's suggestion regarding good websites to upload movies to.

Anyhow, check out my review. My screen name at TriggerStreet is SeaMowse. Oh, by the way, I gave you a nice review!

Thanks for reviewing the film. Glad you enjoyed it. Also thanks for the comments Dennis. It took us awhile to get the plane shot but I think it was worth it. :)

We just entered At Confession into the 50 meg contest over on

If you haven't seen it, please give it a review over there.

Thanks. :)

Motives (spoiler)
 

Obviously the main character is not a normal human being, and suffers from mental problems. However, what person would go to confession to be clensed of their sin(s) only to commit murder immediately after to the person who forgave you? This is more a question for the original author but I would still like to hear the filmmakers and other peoples insights. To me it makes no sense whatsoever. If that person is going to confession in the first place, he has a guilty conscience - he needs forgiveness. Killing the priest would erase that entirely and I think a little contradictory. Just my two cents. Well made though, some very nice shots.

I think his primary reason was to kill the priest...
But I don't know offcourse, it's my personal opinion, maybe the filmmakers say I'm wrong.

I think the priest was doing his wife.
If I were him though I wouldn't have left any fingerprints behind though.

Never thought of that
 

That would explain alot, and if that is so I like that quite a bit. For me though it still wasn't apparent WHY he would. If his wife did have an affair with the priest I never noticed any hints toward that being the case

Well, the main character says he wants to kill the person who slept with his wife.
And before he kills the priest, the priest clearly realises he's gonna die, realises his mistake, and says he's forgiven, because he knows - in a way - it's his own fault.

Aaahhhhh.......
 

Man I am dense! That is awesome, and I wish I would have picked up on it the first time. I am going to rewatch it now. Thanks guys!

Héhé, don't worry about it ;-)

Have fun watching it :-)
