It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.
It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
This story is hard for me to understand. The detail that are not revealed in this story seems have to imagine myself. What is a unicorn? Why does the man who is run over by a bus kill an old man? Who is the child who gazes at the box? There are a lot of thought-provoking things in this movie.Also, the action scenes were exciting, The scene of a robot which drove a motorcycle while avoiding the police car was very cool! I also felt a realistic force by the scene that the robot was blown away by crushing the bike against police cars which were blocking a street. His partially destroyed face was very impressive.Even so, I wonder what was the unicorn. Because it could not be seen in this film, I'm interested in the beautiful contents of the box.
A man carrying a box meets a wealthy old man. I do not know what is inside the box at first. I didn't have any ideas. The old man puts a piece of hair on the box and opens the box. All of sudden, the box shines. A unicorn stays in the box. Then, the man who brought the box to the old man suddenly kills the old man and runs away. When he runs to the street, a truck runs over him. A robot approaches him and takes the box away. However, the robot also dies. Before the robot absolutely dies, he throws the box into the river. I can see everyone who touches the box dies so far. This movie is so difficult to understand, but it depends on people. That's why I'd like to watch this movie and want to ask you what do you think about the movie.
I think this story is amazing, because I could not think and come up with such an idea. The unicorn is generally fantasy figure, in addition, a robot comes out. I think most people who know the word 'unicorn' can imagine what the unicorn looks like. However, the figure of the unicorn does not come out as what we can usually imagine. Also what I am interested in and think it is impressive is the unicorn is related to 'danger', though the unicorn is usually a divine symbol. I simply enjoy this film. It might be a good and spectacular film because it is short, but I hope that this will be a longer film at least for one hour.
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.
