Protozoa(1993)
Darren Aronofskyâs AFI short opens with angry slacker Dave sitting in a dreary, empty junkyard. Dave stares into space, sips beer, and beats the hell out of a cracked guitar. We quickly realize the emptiness of the dump parallels the emptiness of Daveâs life which consists of smoking weed, staring at television screens and watching school children. Daveâs friend Pete is shortly introduced, along with their friend, Ari, who despite calling her pals losers, doesnât seem to accomplishing much herself. These three are going nowhere fast. Theyâre the amoebas of life⊠protozoaâŠ.
