Tank Fairy

No pun intended here - the movie is really quite ... well glorious. I can imagine some calling this woke or other names. Worse names - but it would be a shame, because the short movie here (my favorite that played at Fantasy Filmfest out of the 10 they showed, all good in some way or another) is really good and tries to spread happiness and to represent people that may feel marginalized.

I almost wrote that I am bit surprised this was made in China, but then I read it was made or at least shot in Taiwan. I reckon they are a bit more open minded there. This surely would not be made in Russia or North Korea - at least I can't imagine it would be.

And to be clear: no this will not make your child/kid do things it does not want to or wanted to anyway. Believe me - society is not at the point where we are actually open minded to change and different tastes and people being or trying to be what they want to be. This movie empowers those - a minority - and is entertaining enough for anyone to have fun with it. Spread positivity if you can - not just when you are looking for a hero (no pun intended)

Frm the old Chines postcards to the dragqueen, all seems source of inspiration for this short film so kitsch in its essence than it becomes ...delightful.

From the fair deiven irony to the fascination of a boy about the different ...fairy, from reactions of single mother to the little mouses , from musical moments to the unrealistic but charming end, all is provocative and sweert in same measure.

And , reminding the Comunist period , and discovering realistic reflection of curiosity of child and fears of his young mother , all becomes a profound inspired show as gallery of portraits, reactions and attitude about the different other and...the life.

At the end, temptation to define it as...delicious.
