This Oscar winning short film about a boy's crush on his teacher was very touching in the beginning. But the movie becomes very serious. In the film you will see two things. How humans are really are when their life is in danger and what kind of problem the gun society holds. Also the serious acting of the little boy is so good that throughout the film, you would constantly be drawn in the film. You would learn how pure and how smart a child could be. I learned that sometimes a child can see more than an adult can. There is no doubt about this film being an Oscar winner. Every time you watch this film you would learn a lesson from this fantastic film.

It seemed that this 5 minute SF film contained a plot of a long film. The film takes place in a parallel world where the civilization is higher than ours. The film starts out as if it is a slow tempo film but as it goes on it picks up its pace and becomes an action film in the end. The more it goes on the more you are drawn in the film. It doesn't matter if you understand the language. The action will do the job. It makes you think about the near future and the ending of the film left out the viewers to think what would happen in the 'other' world. By the way of ending, it make us feel the story is going to continue. It makes me excited.

This short film of an American and Japanese couple living in Kamakura, takes place in ordinary life scenes. The couple doesn't have any children but one day a half American half Japanese child comes to their home. You can see the conflict the couple has when deciding what to do with the child. The scenes start out with a feeling of determination, prejudice neighbors and gloom characters but in the end the couple's life starts to become better and the gloomed atmosphere surrounding them disappears. The expression of the characters in the film are very realistic and you will feel the happenings very closely. I can watch it again and again.
