Gasman (1997)
sad
Someday in a winter season, a girl and her brother go to a Christmas party with their father. She wears very cute dress and coat. She looks like so happy, but her gay feeling does not last for a long time.
This movie is only about 14 minutes, but this makes me creepy. At first, I thought this movie is bright and makes me smile. I thought this movie draw a special day of a happy family. However, this image was changed soon
This is very dark story... The story is dark, but the situation is a happy Christmas party. This contrasting situation is fresh to me and it is a beautiful part of this movie.
The main character, Lynne, is so great. She expresses the pure heart of children well. Another character, Lynne's brother, is also great. He does not tell a lot, but his facial expression and behavior tell me about his feelings.
This movie is easy to understand.
Midnight Run (1988)
wonderful!
The story of this movie is that a bounty hunter, Jack Walsh, finds and takes an accountant, Jonathan Mardukas, from New York to Los Angeles to get $100,000. However, this mission does not work and some accidents happen to them.
This movie is so great and I like it. The two main characters who are completely contrasting type are very nice. At first, they do not match but they become a good combination gradually as if they have known each other for a long time. Their exchange of words makes me laugh and removes my stress. That is how much their combination is nice and interesting. I love them! Other characters are great individually.
I have never seen the movie which Robert De Niro performs before but his acting is good. I really recommend this movie. You will come to want to talk with friends and realize the importance of friends who can share laughter.
Lifted (2006)
cute!
The story of this movie is an exam which a small alien lifts a sleeping man from the window of his house to alien's spacecraft by operating lots of switches. He tries again and again but he is failing and getting annoyed and crying.
The film is only five minutes long. Moreover, there is no dialogue but there are many sound effects and facial expressions. These make me laugh. For example, facial expression of a big alien is emotionless and does not change and he takes a note when a small alien is failing. In contrast, a small alien does change his facial expression one after another. This is so cute.
My favorite scene of the film is last scene. The last scene consists of only sounds. There is no animation but I can understand what happens in this scene.
I recommend this film if you want to laugh. It can make you happy and laugh in only five minutes!
Porcelain Unicorn (2010)
moved!
This is a short film of a distant childhood memory of a man about a girl and porcelain unicorn which she gives. The man is a German and the girl is a Jewish. They meet in a closet at an empty house during war and they meet again at a house which is completely clean after a few decades.
The film is only three minutes but the film fills their life from childhood to old age. Moreover, there is only six lines. At first, I thought that only six lines are too few and it is impossible for me to understand this story but it was wrong. This film uses not only six lines but also facial expressing, light and darkness (e.g. a light is lighter which he has and darkness is closet), and big sounds (e.g. broken sounds of window and porcelain unicorn). A combination of these elements is enough for me to understand the story and be moved.
Knick Knack (1989)
cute!
There are many toys which are all enjoying the hot summer. A snow man that is the main character of this film and in a snow dome is enviously staring at them and trying to meet a girl in a bikini but it isn't easy to do.
The snow man is so cute and a little sad. Because many summer toys are getting into the music but he may not even hear the music. His efforts are not a waste even if it is not a success. I have learned this from only 3 minutes short film.
The snow man is so cute.
Father and Daughter (2000)
Time with father
This film focuses on parent-child love between father and his daughter. Father has gone without saying good bye for her. She believes that he comes back and goes to the lake of the hill again and again to meet him but he never comes back until she also goes there which he has.
There are no words in the film but it is enough to make me sad and tell the story. The back-ground music, color, situation like a weather and sounds (bell, wind etc.). These expressions imply her feelings for him. For example, the scene that she in blue goes to the hill and music is serious express her sadness. Because the color, blue, give the impression such as anxiety, loneliness and disappointment. The serious music also give the impression.
The film makes me think that I must be kind to the time with father.
Fish Out of Water (2005)
Cherish myself
A man rows a boat every day to commute to his office because he does not like a traffic jam and crowded place. His routine is a greeting his neighbor, rowing the boat to commute 'by only himself' and giving a woman a kind smile and she also. But his routine is spoiled.
There are not words in this film but the sounds make me laugh. For example, the scene that a lady putting on red lipsticks open big mouth have not her screaming but have gull's crying. Moreover his face expression imply his feelings itself. For example, he has been becoming wooden as his routine is spoiled.
The movie is short and silent but it makes me think that I must cherish myself.
Three Days in Kamakura (2012)
Happiness is near
This film focuses on a family. There are three families in the film. The main family has a complex problem but does not have a child. One day three families are intertwined because of an accident.
There is not so much dialogue in this film but facial expression tells me their feelings and happenings which they have experienced. For example, the scene when Keiko touches her stomach looking sad. Moreover the weather also has a big role to express their feelings. For example, the rain expresses sadness.
This movie is so beautiful and I was moved. I think that people want something that they know they cannot easily get. In other words, crying for the moon. Actually, David wants a child. But finally he is aware of the importance of happiness in front of his eyes. This short film teaches me this.
I recommend the film. How about you try to throw away the feeling which you want something? You may find a happiness which you do not notice although it is around you.
