The first impression I got from this short movie was just simply beautiful. This is only three minutes movie and I emotionally attached to its story. I never imagined that the idea itself only came from designated six lines. I love how they developed these short lines into something amazing and beyond imagination. This movie tells about a young boy from the NAZI regime who meets a young Jewish girl holding a porcelain unicorn during the war. The interactions between these little kids is really touching. They are only kids, and they do not see each other as enemy. The plot is so heart-warming and the ending is unexpected. The camera work is impressive as well. The characteristics look realistic. The moral value I could get from this movie is about humanity, love between human knows no boundaries. I must say this movie is worth watching. You will enjoy it and make sure to take out a tissue!
When I was in my childhood, I did not have any bias for the world. As I grew up, I have got a lot of bias for things, because I have learned a lot of knowledge including not only useful or good ideas to understand the world, mechanisms of society and so on, but also mean thoughts to protect myself or to have a better position than other people. Perhaps, people call such state "an adult," but actually is it "an adult"? I do not feel so. I think some parts of me have become mature, but others have turned to immature. When I was a child, I could speak to someone without prejudice, but now I cannot. If I were the German boy in the movie, I could not say anything to the Jewish girl because of biases I have, because she is a target of discrimination for Germans at the time. The boy is not as mature as I, because I have had more experiences than he had when he was in 1943, but as for braveness and purity, he is more mature than I. After I watched this movie, I recognized the importance of naïveté, because it does not generate any anti-feeling against anything, and it leads to equality towards anyone. I cannot get back naivety like him and, but I try to communicate with anyone with respect, bravery, and equality. This movie gave me an opportunity to think that.
What is that? It's a unicorn. Never seen one up close before. Beautiful. Get away. Get away. I'm sorry.In this movie, only these six sentences are used. We first realize this scene was about 1940's by the scene that focuses on the mark "star of David" on her clothes. It's a symbol of Jewish nation. Men whose appearance is scary are maybe the Nazis. In the third line, the period backgrounds were expressed. The boys who seem to find something were maybe working under them. One of the boys looked at the mark and said to her "Never seen one up close before." The time of Jew-baiting, he saw the mark so close and longer for the first time. I think then he realized the beauty of the believing what she thinks is right, that it is beautiful. So, when the unicorn is broken by a man, he must feel empty. How else would he send her a unicorn when he got old? Unicorn is their bridge. It saved both of them. If their destiny had been over at that time, I would have felt inconsolable grief.
I was moved by this movie very much although this movie is only three minutes long. I felt the bond and love between man and woman. I think the situation that a boy is German and a girl Jewish is good because their setting is different and in those dais they was not able to get together. Also, I am interested in that the present connects to the past in this movie through a unicorn. I felt that there are how to write movie like this. Second, I was surprised that this story makes us understand and move although there are few line in this movie. I felt that we can tell feelings of characters by eyes or an expression once more. Also, I felt that we might tell a message in a movie more when there are some dialogue. As a result, I thought this movie is great because this movie tell message directly although this movie is only three minutes long and there are few line. I like this movie very much.
