Years ago, there was a "Twilight Zone" episode involving magical shoes. When a person put them on, they assumed the identity of the dead man who used to wear the shoes. While they still looked like their old selves, they knew everything the murdered man knew! Well, this short film takes this idea and twists it into a funny knot! In this case, a hobo puts on a power tie that he finds (or perhaps it finds him!). Immediately, the tie takes over and pulls him into the corporate world (literally). Oddly, everyone seems to know the bum--even though he's still dressed in his old rags and all he really cares about is finding more alcohol! Still, with this tie, he can apparently do no wrong and he is a huge hit at work. That is, until he fights the tie to get a drink--when disaster strikes. This leads to a clever finale.
Now I am sure than many won't think that this film is funny, as it seems to make fun of hobos. Plus, my using words like "bum" and "hobo" aren't exactly politically correct, so I guess they'll feel much the same way about the review! Still, it's very funny and weird and if you aren't a thin-skinned person, you'll probably have a laugh or two watching POWER TIE.
