Surprisingly incoherent and boring
Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
This film tells the story of a young boy, who is taken to work by his father and his grandfather for the first time. His task is to go on the moon and sweep the stars.Despite the film being just six minutes and thirty seconds long, it already tells a very sweet and adorable story. The story is imaginative, as I have never even imagined that stars have such as effect on the moon. The stars are beautiful, the characters are cute and the story is very sweet. In the space of just a few minutes, it has captured my imagination and my heart. It is a great animation.
This movie is interesting movie. the characters are cleaners of the moon. For the main character, the boy, he has not ever been to the moon. So, he is taught to operate to change phases of the moon. His father and grandfather has each different way, so each tries to teach the boy, they quarrel. 2times. First, they quarrel how to suffer of the hat which the father gives the boy. Second, they quarrel how to sweep stars. General also, by generations difference people quarrel the way to carry out. But, the boy discovered how to break the big star so they come not to quarrel. I think general quarrel is little things. In this story, the boy play a role to inform that things.
an admirable work. for story and for its levels. for animation. and for the profound message. for humor and for the reflection of viewer. a lesson. a mission. a choice. all in clothes of charming fairy tale. one of rare films who is magic at whole. without explanations, without chance to define the source of magic. a grand father, his son , his nephew. in a boat. and an amazing discovery. result - a great animation . and a splendid show . remembering old legends, the deep fascination of generation, the links who defines the family, the secret who is essence of every day life, the need of miracles, "La luna" is the perfect choice for entire family. not only for joy or learn about the essence of things. but, maybe, for remember the insignificant details who are roots for each of us. see it !
La Luna is the CGI short which accompanies Pixar's Brave. As always, there is a thematic link with the main picture: in this case it is to do with coming of age and bridging the generation gap.Papa and Nonno take Bambino out in the boat at night for the first time to help them carry out their work (he is given his first work hat). I will say no more about what that work is: that would spoil a number of surprises.The dialogue is cod-Italian, and the music is gorgeous. This charming, gently humorous little film is stunningly beautiful, and has a couple of quiet "Wow!" moments in it. I loved it.
