Precisely So (1937)

★★★★★ · Sublime statement on civilization · EWKEANE · 2003-02-10

It is meaningful to me because of the research area that i am in. In it, I can see how (in hypertext) The utillity of standard, how the concept of standards has improved mankinds lifestyle. I highly recommend this short film to planet people, and those involved in AI and language development.

★★★ · Is it worth it for the ending? · Spuzz · 2004-03-10

seemingly non-ending salute to measuring stuff to 348/400 of an inch just goes on and on, telling us look how we can measure this! Look how we can measure that! Till it finally ends on what I remember this film for, the Third Reich salute made by measuring instruments! Very odd animation of measuring tools in a somewhat shall we say, propaganstic sequence. It even has multiple shots of a car coming towards us and a somewhat sublinal "go" being repeated over and over... Very bizarre. This film could have easily been cute in half but keeping the fascist ending intact.
