Commenting on the film critic

The critic states, we are left to believe she took the clock. Yes, if she removed the clock and took into her possession at any point and time, she took it. Very simple: stating the clock was replaced still does not take the act or by definition way of taking the clock. The man seeing and turning to leave does not take away she took the clock or is his responsibility to make it known and correct her errors. So because she decided to have morals, ethics, or that she may have felt caught, busted, or that she decided to return the item does not take way the fact, she took the clock. It does not matter the time limit she had in her possession. So she stole it for two seconds. She still stole the clock at some point.

We do all have flaws, but this still does not mean a thief is not a thief if they take at any point something that is not theirs to possess. Support is done is many ways. If I rob a bank, I may be supported by my family as a person, but they will support me all the way to jail. If I decide to return the money, still I am a bank robber. Oh, but officer I decided my ethics and morals kicked in and I returned it. Still a bank robber – she stole.

Resposibility

Well now; I thought the way the film circled back to the clock that meant the chick returned it. Go figure.

Good message

I thought the film was good and the message was even better. He did not confront her directly about what she had done but she realized that what she had done had ruined what was a good evening for both of them and put an end to the relationship going any further. Did anyone think that maybe this is way she “is not married?”

Where was the demonstration of being responsible?

I don’t get it. Was this supposed to show that someone took responsibility? This was just about a “bad girl” taking something from her friends, someone witnessing it, and then doing nothing about it. This film was a waste of time and contrary to the whole point of your website. We need more examples of how to handle these situations.

What was the responsible thing to do?

The film is not showing you what to do…it is asking whether you know what truly responsible behavior is.

I think that in this case the woman acted responsibly, up to a point, and the man did not. The woman’s conscience won over, and she acted responsibly by returning the clock. Her sense of responsibility overcame her immediate desire to have the clock, and she put it back.

On the other hand, the man’s emotion of disappointment and disillusionment overcame his ability to treat the woman fairly. He had led her on all evening; they could each tell the other was attracted to them. Then he pulled the rug on her suddenly and without explanation. He should have said that he enjoyed his time with her; that there was good chemistry. He should have said that he was choosing to not spend more time with her because he saw her take the clock.

That way she would have known that there was not some unknown thing “wrong” with her; she would have known that he was not just playing with her emotions all evening; and she would have had a chance to come clean.

If he had done this with respect, she would have had the chance to say “I don’t know what came over me…I felt like a kid in a candy store…it was so childish. As soon as I did it I realized it was crazy and wrong, and I put it right back. Thanks for telling me and letting me tell you the rest of the story.”

And you know what? He would have known she was telling the truth. He would have laughed and she would have turned out her pockets to show him…laughing as well.

And they would have fallen in love right then and there.

That’s not a fantasy; that’s how it really works. That’s taking responsibility. And that’s why the world is a better place when you do the right thing.

(p.s., the woman would have been even more responsible if she had called the man on his ambiguity by simply stating that she had enjoyed her time with him and felt he had as well, and to say that she didn’t understand what had gone wrong. That would have given him a chance to come clean about his unfounded doubts. There’s a good chance he still would have said nothing, but she would have been able to have a clearer conscience about it. And there is a small chance that he would have realized that he needed to tell her what was on his mind.)

Deeper meaning

This whole scenario could be viewed a bit deeper as it pertains to relationships, and the most important part of a relationship-the beginning. We all know relationships are built on trust. Each person’s responsibility to the other is building that trust. This little film challenges that core ideal. The moment he sees her put the clock in the jacket, he could say something. What would happen? Would she have a logical excuse. How would he explain the fact he was spying on her. In the end, neither one acts responsibly. They don’t communicate and put forth an effort for a relationship, and remain hopelessly single—or not, who knows.

Somehow, I see things differently...

This short film is a wonderful example of how to get others to act responsibly without actually having to tell them what they should or shouldn’t do. I had to rewind and watch the ending a few times to understand exactly what happened, and it seems as though many of you have an entirely different interpretation.

Here’s what I saw:

Mutual friends invited over for a dinner party, boy and girl meet and seem to hit it off.

At some point during the evening, the girl wanders off, seeming to admire the decor. She does not appear to be looking for a particular thing (like something that might have originally belonged to her that she decided to reclaim). She continues to admire all the tchotchkes on the dresser, and then becomes alert and suspicious. She looks over her shoulder, sees no one (even though the guy is watching her the whole time), and quickly slips a small but expensive clock into her coat pocket (or big purse, I couldn’t tell which). The guy obviously sees this and immediately he retreats with a sullen expression. He later tries to make small talk (maybe he’s hoping to hear a confession?), then later, as they are leaving together, he has retrieved her coat (again, or purse), specifically asks if it is hers (when he knows full well that it is because of the clock in it), she admits that it is, smilingly, and then they leave. He never mentions the clock or what he saw her do. The only give-away as to what happened at the ending is his actions just before she exits his car. If at any point she had confessed, apologized, returned to clock, etc., he would have been eager to follow her in for a night cap. He was not. She is obviously disappointed, but I can’t quite tell if it’s because of his refusal to continue the date, or because she realized the clock was gone- hard to tell.

The very end, like I said, I had to re-watch. In the background you can hear the hostess thanking people and then you see someone enter the room to pick up the coat/purse left on the bed. Then you see the clock. Apparently, the story took us back to just before the guy and girl left the party, where he was getting her coat/purse. Since the man was the last one in the room, it was obvious that he returned the clock. He knew that by returning the clock, that the girl would later find the clock missing and know that he must’ve known somehow (plus the hostess would never notice that her clock had gone missing… unless the girl decided to tell her). Hopefully this would serve as her wake-up call so she could take responsibility for her own actions… maybe apologize to her friend, the guy… maybe seek counseling if she has kleptomania. He also left it up to her as to whether or not she would tell her friend (the hostess) what she had done.

A very subtle but sure way to let someone know that you never know when others are watching, so do the right thing and be responsible.

Concience

CONSCIENCE= conscience, sense of moral awareness or of right and wrong. The concept has been variously explained by moralists and philosophers. In the history of ethics, the conscience has been looked upon as the will of a divine power expressing itself in man’s judgments, an innate sense of right and wrong resulting from man’s unity with the universe, an inherited intuitive sense evolved in the long history of the human race, and a set of values derived from the experience of the individual. Psychologists also differ in their analyses of the nature of conscience. It is variously believed to be an expression of values differing from other expressions of value only in the subject matter involved, a feeling of guilt for known or unknown actions done or not done, the manifestation of a special set of values interjected from the example and instruction of parents and teachers, and the value structure that essentially defines the personality of the individual. As a practical matter, the consciences of different people within a society or from different societies may vary widely.

It’s unfortunate that more people do not listen to their conscience more. Most were brought up with good values and taught by their parents of church organization. It’s sad to see the values of this and all societies around the world slipping into Oblivion.

The word oblivion means the state of complete unawareness, unconsciousness, or forgetfulness; or the state of being completely forgotten.
