An impactful short that shows the day to day life of many people like the main character and the struggles that go unnoticed. A black Japanese boy moves from Tokyo to a small village and starts anew in an old school. He discovers that being different in an old-fashioned place has consequences that he couldn't have imagined.

It's a well-paced short, one in which you can see how the kids start bullying the main character and how he slowly starts believing them. It's a continuous process that is represented by the typical Japanese mask that is used when someone is sick. The kids bullying the main character give it to him so he doesn't spread his disease. At first, the kid doesn't put it on, but as the short progresses, we see how his confidence starts crumbling.

Despite the sad connotations of the short, it's really heartwarming to see a few short, but special moments within it that show that there's still hope. That not everyone is out to get somebody. This short is a small jewel that should be recognized for speaking out about the reality of many mixed-race children in Japan.

A masterpiece in the form of a short film. A little girl has to buy cigarettes for his father, who's sick and can't move from his bed. Despite her innocence, she will have to learn what it is to have your parents make bad choices for themselves and be there to witness it.

What I really loved about this short was the way it portrays the relationship between the father and the child. Despite the father not appearing much in the short, the viewer can see just how much the little girl loves her father by the way she does whatever it takes to fulfill his father's desires. Moreover, the actress that plays the little girl inspires such tenderness within the viewer that it's impossible not to be heartbroken when she gets sad. But not everything is sad, there are some funny moments when she's struggling and, of course, the heartwarming moments that come from having such a deep bond with a father.

From beginning to end, this short is a life lesson for the little girl and a reminder for the viewer that, even when we want something, maybe we are better off without it. Not only so we can be happier, but the people around us too.

Eggsy, a young-looking boy that lives in the suburbs, gets in trouble and, after getting bailed out of prison by a mysterious man, he's offered the chance to become a kingsman.

Since this movie came out, it has become one of my favourite movies of all time. It's really easy to follow, the characters are charming in their own way and the dialogue is witty. Not to talk about the action scenes. As a society, we have been exposed to so many action scenes and violence, that not much surprises us, but the way this movie portrays that action is just mind-blowingly good (and quite funny sometimes).

It's always a delight to watch anything by Colin Firth, but Taron Egerton (Eggsy) was truly fit to play that character. There's a lot of character development for Eggsy in just one movie, and even when the movie is about fighting, the development doesn't feel rushed because the writers devote part of the movie just so we can see how Eggsy struggles to become the man he should be to represent Kingsman. It's a breath of fresh air to see characters properly developed in an action movie. That's why I like this movie so much, because it's not just mindless violence.

Cheers to the writers. Fantastic job.
