Spielzeugland (2007)
Good movie
This story is a love story. Two children in WW2 Germany are good friends. However, one of the boys is Jewish. Soon their family will be sent to a concentration camp. The non-Jewish boy is told by his mother that Jewish children go to Toyland. On the day the Jewish family is sent to the concentration camp, he chases after them because he does not want to be separated from them. The mother wakes up in the morning and realizes that her child is missing and looks for the train to which the Jews are being sent. Watching this short film, I felt the love between a parent and child, and the love of friendship. It was very heartwarming to see the strong bond between the two small children. The film also made me think about Germany during the war. I felt the horror of being separated and treated badly even by the same German people. The final scene was very moving. It was very interesting that the film did not show the whole scene, but only parts of it.
Love at First Sight (2010)
love story
Arthur, an old man in a nursing home, falls in love at first sight with
Ruth, an old lady who is sitting in the breakfast room eating her meal. They spend the whole day together. When they are about to go back to their room, Arthur proposes to Ruth. Ruth tells Arthur that she loves him too. The next day, Arthur goes to breakfast and falls in love at first sight with Ruth, who is sitting in the same place. It is a very heartwarming and good story. I thought it was a wonderful love story. It was interesting because I have not seen many love stories between old people. It is a love story using dementia, which is more common among old people. I recommend this film to anyone who wants to see a heart-warming film.
Two Strangers Who Meet Five Times (2017)
Encounter
This is the story of a ethnic migrant man, Sammy, and a white man, Alistair, in the UK. It begins when they meet for the second time. The white man is racist and says racist terms to Sammy. The third time, the two meet at a company. Alistair is interviewed and learns that Sammy is the CEO of the company. Sammy remembers him, man, but Alistair does not remember Sammy. The fourth time, the two meet on the street. Alistair is homeless and happens to meet Sammy. Alistair remembers him, but Sammy does not. But Sammy helps him out with some money. The structure of this short film is very meaningful. If it started with the first encounter, the film would not work so well. I recommend this short film to anyone who wants to see a heartwarming film.
The Crush (2010)
The Crush
This story is about a boy's crush. The boy is in elementary school and
his crush is his teacher. He gives the teacher a toy engagement ring.
However, he realizes that the teacher has a boyfriend and wears a real engagement ring. The boy challenges the boyfriend. The boy uses a gun to threaten the boyfriend. It is both an action movie and a romantic film. However, the boy is a bit psycho and scary. Also, the teacher accepts the boy's proposal and acts as if they can really get married. I think this is not good for children because you never know what they will do. Also, this movie could be a little scary even for adults. It is also a suspenseful short film. But the story is easy to understand. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to see a love story with a bit of horror.
Porcelain Unicorn (2010)
Heartwarming story
This is the story about the memory of a porcelain unicorn between a
German boy and Jewish girl. The old man visits a house and stands in front of the door with a gift in his hands. Then he recalls his old memory. He met the hiding Jewish girl in the house. Then he got close to her and she gave him a porcelain unicorn. It is a beautiful story. There are few lines of dialog in this short film, but you can understand the content easily. Each line has a good meaning. It is a story about Germany during the war, and it is touching to see them reunited over time. I think this short film is a reminder of the importance of peace. There is still war going on in the world today. Therefore, I hope all people will see this film. It is a film that makes you think about war and about human love.
Otousan no tabako (2007)
Family story
'The Errand' is a family story. It was produced in 2007. An elementary
school girl buys cigarettes for her father, but her mother is angry with her because smoking has a lot of negative effects. The girl goes to be with her father who is dying of an illness, presumably cancer. The father asks the girl to buy cigarettes for him. The story is about her going to buy cigarettes for her father. I found this short film very thought-provoking. The girl knows the negative effects of giving cigarettes to her father who is weak. However, I believe that the girl's desire to fulfill her beloved father's wish is very complicated. I also liked the child actor who represented this emotion well. I could understand her feelings through her natural acting. This is why I was drawn into this film. Also, the father looked really in pain and it was very vexing to watch. I thought this short film should be seen by anyone who has a family member who smokes and is in trouble. I thought it would inspire them to stop smoking.
J'attendrai le suivant... (2002)
Unexpected ending
'I'll Wait for the Next One' is a romantic comedy short film. It was
made in 2002. A woman looks lonely at the train station. She looks at a couple and she looks sad. When she gets on the train, a man speaks loudly alone. He says he is looking for a partner and introduces himself. The single woman sees that man and she is interested in him.
The main character woman has no dialogue, but I can understand the emotion by her expressions. I think every single woman expects this kind of extraordinary experience. This is why the woman is interested in the man on the train. The ending is also interesting. It is an unexpected ending and is related to the title. The title has two meanings. If you watch this short film, you can understand it. I recommend you to watch this short film. Especially, single women should watch this because you might be able to learn something from this.
Lifted (2006)
funny short film
'Lifted' is a comedy animation. It was made in 2006. A small alien takes the test of lifting a human onto a spaceship. He has confidence in his driving. But he makes many mistakes. The big alien is
instructor of the small alien and watches him driving. I like their
relationship. They have different personalities but they have a good
relationship. I am also interested in a human who is lifted to a spaceship. He doesn't get up no matter what happens around him. It is cute that the small alien has many mistakes but he tries many times. The big alien just watches the small alien's behavior. They are like a parent and child. I should try everything and don't think about the mistake by watching this short film. This short film's artwork are so cute and the content is very clear so you can understand it easily. I recommend you to watch this short film.
Knick Knack (1989)
Funny animation
'Knick-Knack' is a comedy about a snowman who is stressed by his
situation. He tries to change his situation. The snowman uses a small
weapon, then bigger ones. This structure makes you understand well. The main character never gives up by using many ways. This is short animation film and there are cute characters in the film. Outside of the snowman's snow dome it is summer. But the snowman is always in winter. There is humor that the snowman can't stop thinking about going outside. He tries many times but still can't go outside. It is cute and funny. This is a great short film because there are many factors so you should watch this.
Fish Out of Water (2005)
Smart man
'Fish out of Water' is a comedy film. It was made in 2006. A man goes to his office by a vehicle alone because he wants to avoid rush hour. However, one day he has trouble with his commute. It is an interesting and funny short film. Almost all people struggle with rush hour and we think about how to solve this problem. But we don't have solutions to this rush hour problem. In this short film, I was surprised that the man's solutions to everyone's problem. Also, one day he has a problem but he can solve his bad situation. I recommend you to watch this short film. This short film's construction is good. The man's problem gets bigger and bigger. Also, there is no dialogue in this short film but you can understand it with sound. The good acting of the actors makes the content very easy to understand. You should see it once.
