The theme from both the video and the story is clearly about death. The moral is somewhat unclear and can be interpreted into many things. One thought is that nobody can run away from death. Another idea is that death comes in many unexpected forms. I like the overall concept of the video because if you think about it, the story is ridiculously short like a trailer. I thought the idea of death disguised as a fortune teller was a great concept. A fortune teller telling some one's future makes sense, but a merchant telling you your future seems a little off to me. My final thought is if I were to pick a movie of my own that reminded me of this story, I would strongly recommend "Final Destination."

The video you're discussing is "The Appointment" and the story is "The Appointment In Samarra," correct? Do both those ideas appear in both the text and the video or only in the text? If they appear in the video, where? Yes, Final Destination is similar to these stories.
