Film in Five Seconds, by Gianmarco Milesi, H-57, and Matteo Civaschi

The guys who brought us Life in Five Seconds have now released Film in Five Seconds.  They have taken 200 films and boiled them down to a brief, simple graphic summary.  Some of them are laugh out loud funny, some I didn't recognize, and some didn't make sense to me.  Thankfully, there is an "answer key" for the ones you can't figure out.

Rather than try to describe their work, here are a few examples:






The third one's a real time-saver, since to watch the Lord of the Rings trilogy takes about 12 hours.  The first two, in case you can't figure them out, are The Lion King and The Wizard of Oz. Duh.  Plenty of the others in the book are not quite as easy to figure out.

This is a great, clever diversion.  It's a quick read, obviously (16 minutes and 40 seconds, to be precise) but the "films" are fun to "watch" and fun to share.  And, like real movies, many are worth "watching" again.
