Robert Duvall is looking ancient.
Well.. the squirell alive
The idea of he had something then rejected friendship has from the heart of desires, the soul of the entirety of the essence of himself, & strength of his spirit & body in that his mind had walled himself in during the period prior to this fable in a screen play.
In this, somewhere deep inside he has the human purpose of his could be realized intentions to return to the personality he had in child-like simplicity. In the inherent human thankfulness of gratitude, thank you for your consideration of this perspective of this video here called, "THE RAISIN (award-winning short film)"
posted by Rob Carter at this public online Youtube link.
In this the hope transcends from beyond the natural and the condition of himself that he thought his path of the right of human thought, in that universal human rights can be phrased the Creator granted inalienable human rights of the human dignity in inherent human freedom by he is a human being person, an individual in whom is someone extremely conflicted, obviously.
The film starts by no backstory, and yet something had transpired beside the home life of daily life on lifelong journey that showed his trips for potatoes and chocolate covered raisins.
How long have the skies been up above the world,
in the song of children sing, twinkle, twinkle little star,
such are these lyrics at the start of the song:
"Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
When the blazing sun is gone,
When he nothing shines upon,
Then you show your little light,
Twinkle, twinkle, all the night."

The cradles of human civilization happened as the commonplace knowledge in schooled of human history,
and the histories of the reports of unearthed real civilized societies are part of the history of humanity immemorial.
Archologist have the education to research these human societies that begun with groups,
in that the institution called family is part of human history, the city-states, then nations.
By this there had been the Stone Age overlapped into the Copper Age of human civilized societies,
this overlapped into the Bronze then Iron Ages.
The archeologist have unearthed the evidence of these civilizations,
*Note in inherent thanksgiving of my gratitude in thank you for your consideration.
Man + Ego = Toxic
The innocent squirrel and the wise loving woman. Reminds me of maga men.
Boo he was a crab. (A hole really)
That is one frugal tater eating lonesome fella
Hate is a strong word for a squirrel. This guy is isolated and gone stupid
Wow..a deep story in under ten minutes..BRAVO!
Jesus left the 99 to look for the 1 lost and He also fed 5,000. ❤
He was a jerk and he realized. It made him sad to know that he was all alone, again.
I think he will say he will say he is sorry and they will become become inseparable
This short film touched me so. Thank you Mr Rob Carter. I’m now a subscriber!
The squirrel was the real star.
He falsely accused her of "lying", and that made _him_ the actual liar.

It works for me!
Sad to witness a foolish old man.
Great film! He gave the five thousandth raisin to the squirrel as an act of contrition.
Beautifully filmed, the score is superb and the actors totally believable. The range they expressed without talking was amazing.
Oh my word, what a wonderful film Rob, thank you so much ❤
Boooooooring
Scrooge, I know it’s you, my man.
what a quirky little film, irritating and satisfying at the same time and also familiar because there have been times in my life when I’ve driven people away who I loved, by being too demanding, or too jealous or too cruel or too…afraid and one more thing: I love chocolate covered raisins, goobers…and although she never even tried to get away with one at the door the old lady favored them too, that’s why the last thing we see is her sitting on the dry-stack wall out in the yard eating one as the film ends…of course despite not liking that squirrel the old man had put that raisin there on purpose and so, a love story blossoms between that stiff old codger and that lady-squirrel with the talented, pretty tail and the shining eyes…
Odie al viejo.
the world has always had old hermit raisin men like this one. each with their own stories that drove them to become the way they are.
it wasn’tveasy to find this.. even ai tools didn’t help me but in the end i finally found this..
such a great film !!
Really? What a horrible man
This film deserves an award. An award for the biggest waste of 8 minutes in my life.
Accent doesn’t work

The more you buy the cheaper they are has alway been a cynical way of ripping off the poor
Interacting with this man is like trying to reason with a Republican. Lol
Nice film – wondering why the actors have U.S. southern accents when they are in the UK.
Well, that sucked more than a full-time pornstar.
Why doesn’t he grow his own potatoes= He has plenty of land to grow it on…
That’s good ‘tater’ land, right there!
He should’ve eaten raisin 5000 instead of not even showing it. Better than the squirrel eating it.
I’m not even five minutes into this and I also have to ask what the hell is this I’m watching this is supposed to be an award-winning film. I’ll give it 10 more minutes. I’ll report back.
The regret on his face is devastating. Very clever credits.
And the bullying continues. She empowered him by allowing it and going along with his stupidity. "You want your purse back? Come and get it when you have grown some manners", would have been a better response.
What the hell did i just watch
Maravilloso Corto ❤
Magic story great acting and the brilliance of the storyteller ❤❤❤❤
