Yes, agreed about the ending. Can’t help but think something is missing.
Actually a really great premise for a short. A simple concept of confusion milked for all it’s worth. The problem is the public is more confused than Langdon is. In that context, any comedian could have done this short.
Langdon acts well being a typical comedian who reacts fast and panics. He carries the material just fine. But again, it’s journeyman Langdon. Imagine the classic Langdon character in this role. Slow to react, a step behind, just as confused, and maybe a bit more so, than the public. As the short is, he’s onto John T. Murray’s loon right away. Imagine Harry going along with it fora bit until the slow blink realization comes. None of that here. Again, a good short, Langdon’s earning his paycheck and doing fine by the material, but I can’t help think if done differently, he could of added so much more. Highlight of the short - the kid in the stroller running away from Langdon.
