Stylish but barely mediocre overall

I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

The first impression I got from this short movie was just simply beautiful. This is only three minutes movie and I emotionally attached to its story. I never imagined that the idea itself only came from designated six lines. I love how they developed these short lines into something amazing and beyond imagination. This movie tells about a young boy from the NAZI regime who meets a young Jewish girl holding a porcelain unicorn during the war. The interactions between these little kids is really touching. They are only kids, and they do not see each other as enemy. The plot is so heart-warming and the ending is unexpected. The camera work is impressive as well. The characteristics look realistic. The moral value I could get from this movie is about humanity, love between human knows no boundaries. I must say this movie is worth watching. You will enjoy it and make sure to take out a tissue!

This movie runs for only three minutes, but the context is very deep. This is a story during war. This is about the friendship between a German boy and a Juwish girl. During World War Ⅱ,Jewish people are sent to a concentration camp and a large number of them are killed. The girl wears a yellow star, which means she is Jewish, on her arm. HOwever, She doesn't understand the meaning of the star. She seems to be pleased with the star. The behavior that the boy tries to protect her is brave and cool. He is a very kind boy. It is surprising for such elementary school boy to do such behavior. If I were in his position, I couldn't do like him. I want her to run away safely. I pray for her safety. Also, a unicorn plays an important role in this movie. The unicorn is the main point. I'm impressed by the last scene. It's very emotional. I want to watch this movie again.

This story happened in Germany, 1943, during WWⅡ and the short movie has the mysterious and dark atmosphere. Furthermore, it begins from current times, but the main character remembers something that he experienced, then it is connected to former times finally, those things is linked. Addition to it, everyone speaks German so I suppose that it set in Germany. It is the most interesting short move I've ever seen. This is because the contents is easy to understand for me. Then the background of the movie can be expected and the story is composed logically. At the same time, we would like to begin knowing the messages of the story and more detail background or history. In other words, the movie has aspects both vague and clear. Moreover, two features make it more complex and interesting. Another point is the climax. The climax is so warm although the beginning of the movie is dark. The climax that we cannot suppose waits for us. A woman and a man meet after about 50 years because of the porcelain unicorn. The faces of a woman and a man looks happy and smiling. Therefore, the beginning of it is dark and mysterious, in opposition to it, the end is happy and warm. That's why it is the most interesting short movie I've ever seen.

Is there anything else that is so unique? This movie consists on only six words. It is too little dialogue to make a movie. However, even though a dialogue is far too much, this movie shows the details really well and I think this is true visual telling movie.This story is about friendship between a boy and a girl through building up by one unicorn. The boy protects the girl even though he is hit by a soldier and after a great deal of years, he return the unicorn to her. This is the last scene and I recognized their friendship is so beautiful and very pure. At the same time, I was touched.I want admire the brave of the boy that help the young girl because if I were him, I could not do that.
