There Are Things We Miss

[mihai_alexandru_chindris · 6/10 · 15 April 2018]

Emotional & heartbreaking. These are the two words that would sum up this short. It's hard to tell someone who is so attached to this physical world how it feels like to be fully aware of everything that surrounds you. I think that's the point of this movie. It tries to make people understand that there's beauty even in simple things, that don't necessarily need to be material.

about basic things

[Kirpianuscus · 1 October 2017]

one of touching love stories. giving a simple and nice answer to the perception of life. or the other. a boy. a girl. jealousy. desire to talk to her. the emotion, fury and the right way for see the truth. a film about solitude and friendship and need of the other. nothing new. or surprising. only one of the short films who reminds basic things in the best manner. a virtue far to be insignificant.

Nice one

Prom date approaching in High school. A normal Geek boy looking for a Prom Date in High school. As usual all geek ,nerds are considered inactive and ignored by the girls so he didn't dare to ask attractive girls.

Accidentally stumble upon the girl who is different than other girls in unique way. The interaction itself took place in very unexpected way then we imagine.

Ultimately give her a new meaning in life. It's different unique way, nice and heart touching short film.

Just watch it once and you will understand the words of Helen Keller which are

'The best and most beautiful things in world cannot be seen ,heard, or even touched, they must be felt with the Heart.'

Needs more precision all around

By watching at the title already, it becomes obvious that this is a fairly pretentious piece of filmmaking. Cameron Covell wrote and directed "The Most Beautiful Thing" 3 years ago with a duo of actors who also appear in other films that he made. Unfortunately, they are both not very good, the boy is even pretty bad at times. The writing isn't much better. The scene where he apparently does not see that she does not want to kiss the other guy is really cringeworthy and completely fails as one of the dramatic core moments of the movie in terms of realism. The ending isn't much better. A failed attempt on achieving a maximum of emotion. She knew he would not laugh at her. She does not want to speak. Trusting each other, friendship and love mean accepting what the other wants and does not want (or what I want and not want), so this was actually a bit of an unhappy ending to me. Film starts off solid with the messed-up day at school, but everything after 1.5 minutes is just not worth the watch. Thumbs down.

We Have to Love Ourselves

[Hitchcoc · 8/10 · 20 May 2019]

This is a simple, though predictable, story. Most of us sort of average beings find ourselves in situations where we are so afraid to act that we do nothing. We will never know what would have happened. I think of the Garth Brooks song "The Dance." It's about the pain we sometimes experience but what's worse than experiencing the pain is playing it safe. Here, the young guy knows what he wants but his self esteem is so fragile that he almost blows it. Sweet film though it was sort of set up to succeed.

The Most Beautiful Thing

This movie is very moving. I think the love cannot be expressed in words. I think this movie is similar to Taxi Driver. It is the scene that Brandon practices how does he invite Emily Prom. He tried a lot of pattern. In Taxi Driver, Travis (He is the main character in Taxi Driver) practices how does he kill bad persons. I think Abandon and Emily's relation are slow going. When Abandon saw a man kissed Emily, If I'm Abandon, I will not turn my head away from them. Abandon is a weakness. My most moving scene is ending. At the ending, the message is appeared. Lately, I read a comic book. The main character is a girl. Girl can't hear, but she lives hard. She falls a man in love. I think we overcome a lot of obstacle.
