The Route V50

The youtube video up there is the 12 minute short film titled The Route V50 (2004) starring the one and only Robert Downey Jr. 

I'd write a synopsis if I could but really, I have absolutely no idea what it's actually about. It's one of those vague short films nobody but the film makers know what they're about. Do watch. RDJ's the only actor in it. Isn't that enough reason to watch? Anyway, It's short & free!

Oh yes, I found the link form this nifty website The Robert Downey Jr. Film Guide. Pay a visit. Even if you're not a fan, please do. It's a testament to how committed obsessed fans out there are. Not only does it have a list of all the films RDJ has ever been in, it categorizes the contents of the films by very specific factors! Just brilliant & absurdly obsessed. I found myself laughing when I stumbled upon this site. 

Here's an example, for The Route V50 :

Summary	As a traveler searches for a place called Confidence, he keeps running into other versions of himself.
Director	Stephen Frears
Downey Factor	High. He is the only actor in the film
Character	A wayward traveler caught in surreal scenario
Looks	Good. Clean, wears a black suit, white shirt
Performance	Excellent
Dies, Gay or Villain	No, no, no
Availability	Released in March 2004 on Volvo's british website in conjunction with the launch of a new vehicle. No longer available from Volvo, but I have posted it -- HERE
2 Reasons to See It	1. He has a conversation with himself! 2. Oh, come on, it's free!
Overall	It's a little strange to explain this film to someone who hasn't seen it, but it's entertaining, interesting, short, and pure Downey. You simply have to see it.
If You Like It	You might also like M.C. Escher.

Then there're some Photos (screencaps from the film) and Video (Trailer for the film). 


I mean, RDJ must've played quite a lot of characters that 'Dies, is Gay or is a Villain' to have earned his films such a category! Hilarious.

P.S: The fact that the site's link has 'dandychick' in it is just too much. Can't help but laugh. It suits him though. RDJ I mean. He's quite a character.
