What I liked/disliked...
I really like films that are set within a very short space of time, or in which nothing actually happens (sort of like all of Chekhov's plays, where everyone just sits around and talks a lot). This short film was very much like that, and a short film is typically a really good format for such plots. I liked the theme of race that was brought up, and the comic twist on it. The cinematography was also quite impressing.
I didn't find the acting to be really good. It gave an unrealistic feel, despite the very real theme and realistic conversation.
Aspects of Narrative
This film isn't the type to follow a strict three part structure. The biggest complication of the plot was determining how one can wear jeans or shirts 'that tight'. I find that thats its charm though.
Genre
This, despite being perhaps too short to tell, is a comedy. The three characters had a funny dynamic between them as they speculated as to origins of their race. Their stupidity or rather thought patterns in general were emphasised for comic effect, which is a convention of the comedy genre.
