Film Review: 2024, A Year Like Any Other (Romantic Short Film)

"2024, A Year Like Any Other" is a romantic drama that you'll only watch on Cineshort. A group of young actors are invited for a film shoot. The filming begins. While everything seems to be going well, our protagonist suspects something is wrong, and these suspicions are not entirely unfounded. There are expectations familiar to us from the "Me Too" movement that erupted some time ago. Is the entire film set just a setup? The answer to this question is in our film. The film has quite impressive, thought-provoking, and questioning elements. There are a few topics in the film that caught my attention and that I'm happy to see addressed. First is the reality of what actors who want to get somewhere have to face in terms of expectations. It shouldn't be this difficult to do your job properly and achieve success in a normal way. Another issue is that acting is truly a very difficult profession where people not only give a lot of themselves to the role, but also retain something from the role within themselves. Resetting this effect and starting new projects neutrally is very challenging. Another topic is that being famous, earning a lot of money, and being in the spotlight seems very attractive, but the price seems equally heavy. A life dependent on social media "likes," constantly being in the public eye, are things that disconnect people from real life over time. You have to keep your attention on yourself constantly, and this is quite exhausting. But everything ultimately has a price. Returning to our film, the emotional transitions in the film are quite good; you're watching a film within a film. I definitely recommend everyone to watch it!
