Porcelain Unicorn

This is about a memory of an old man. It begins with a scene where an old man walks to visit to someone's house with a little brown parcel. A unicorn plays a meaningful part in this film. The scene where a boy is hit on the head and the porcelain unicorn is broken is very cruel and sad. However, this porcelain unicorn connects a boy and a girl finally. That's why this film moves and impresses us very much. Though this film is very short, we can guess that they have endured many hardship for a long time, even if there are a few lines of dialog in this film. I recommend you to watch this wonderful film.

This short film is one of the most impressive I've seen. The main story is that a German boy saves a Jewish girl's life during the war. From the begging, the soundtrack is so sad. I think in this movie, the music has an important meaning like expression of actors. When a content of the screen is slowly terrible and fearful, the music is also changing. So, people may concentrate on this film and imagine what it is happening next. Also, from the begging Porcelain Unicorn goes beyond time and space like now and past. So people who watch this can understand what the story tells from now on. If you want to be moved by a movie, I recommend this short film.

'Porcelain Unicorn' is a very touching short film. Three little boys go into the house which looks empty. But, suddenly, they hear some noise and two boys escape from the house. A boy who is still in the house tries to go close to the shelter where the noise comes from. He realises that there is a little girl who hides in the shelter. He finds that she holds a unicorn in her hands, and he asks "What is that?". Their conversation goes on. What do they talk about? The context of the conversation is very heartwarming. Also, this film shows the future of the boy and girl and their future is the most impressive part of this film.

This film has only six lines of dialogue and is quite a short film. However, this is easy to understand and definitely makes people touched. There is a line "Beautiful" while they are talking about the unicorn. I thought that "beautiful" means the unicorn, but there is a little bit of a difference from what I imagined. I am sure that you will be impressed by this scene.

Therefore, I highly recommend 'Porcelain unicorn'.

This short film, "Porcelain Unicorn" was made in 2010. In 1943, Germany, there is a boy who secretly communicates with a Jewish girl, who escapes during World War II. This film is truly heart warming. Even if people get old, people must remember what they said and did at the memorable moment. I think this young boy cannot forget that he could not give the unicorn her back. However, finally he can meet her, a Jewish girl, and can give the unicorn back to her. People must have struggled with the war situation. Even under the hard time, maybe like that young boy, there should have been beautiful moments which people cannot forget. The dialogue in this film is quite sparse, but these lines tell you how hard the war situation was and how deep his love for the Jewish girl is. You should go and watch this film, it's a really heart-warming one.

Keenan Wilcox is a genius. A most succinct genius. This very brief movie--only three minutes long--won the Grand Prize Award at the 2011 Post-Cannes Phillips Film Festival. The rules for the entrants to the contest were:

1)The film could be no more than three minutes long. 2)It could have only six lines of dialog.

The chief judge, if I'm not mistaken, was Ridley Scott.

I would love to discuss this movie in great detail, both in terms of the humanity in it as well its symbolism which, I believe, is not at all obvious.

Still, anything more I could say about this film, though, anything about the plot or characters would spoil the extreme preciousness of your first experience in seeing it. I am sure that I have seen it at least forty times myself and it still summons tears from me. But see it yourself first and then, if you wish, we could talk, if only IMDb would permit me to post my e-mail address.

It's only three minutes. Prove me wrong.
