My Shoes

To say it is a great film is real easy. for the performances and details and the realistic desire of poor boy. and, sure, for the end. because it is an universal story, answer for every life. the needs, the pray, the answer. and the reality behind the appearences. in same measure, it is a lovely demonstration about the virtues of short film who has the force to send a convincing, precise message in brilliant way. and this is one of motifs to see "My Shoes". not only for artistic virtues. but for wise manner to remind to viewer a basic, so simple truth.

A raggedly dressed boy wearing a torn pair of pair of sneakers sits on a bench in a park feeling uncomfortable with his tennis shoes. He wanders in the park and when he returns, there is a boy with a brand new pair of sneakers sat on the bench. The ragged boy goes to another place with envy and wishes that he were the other boy. His wish is somehow granted and he switches body with the other boy and learns his health condition.

"My Shoes" is a dramatic short with a heartbreaking conclusion that shows how careful a person should be with wishes. In the end, the sneakers of those that can walk wear out the soles. My vote is eight.
