Birthday Boy (2004)
Birthday boy
This review is written by Sara.r on the 30/10/2014. A short animated film, a boy in Korea wanders around and plays during war alone while going home. It's very a emotional and dramatic but very few talking. The techniques was very good but you have to study the film to and watch more than once to really understand it. I like the quick change in camera angles with the trains and the beginning a plane is destroyed showing that their is a war going on and the omniscient perspective. I like the fact that we get to see some of the scenes in the boy's perspective but I thought it was too upsetting for me, the boys smile scared me a little. At the end it ended quickly I would have liked to see a little more. Overall, I think the film was okay but I wouldn't watch it over again.
