WATCHING SHORTS

"One Man Band"

One Man Band is an animated short made by Pixar. It was shown for the first time at 2005. Directed by Andrew Jimenez and Mark Andrews, and produced by Osnat Shurer, this film has won a Platinum Grand Prize at the "Future Film Festival", in Bologna (Italy).

The story happens in the square of an unknown town. A busker is playing music and a little girl sees him. She has got some money, and the street musician wants it.

Suddenly, a better busker appears and starts playing an amazing music. The girl,decided to give it to the best one, doesn't know what to do. The other street musician plays louder and louder, and a battle begins. 

The child, confused, drops the coin and it falls into the sewer. 

Angrily, she takes a violin and starts playing a fantastic song!

In my opininon, it is one of the best shorts I've ever seen. It has got very good drawings and a fantastic music. The buskers are funny and the girl is very sympathic!
The thing I like most is the surprise that you can see at the end. I didn't expect!

DESCRIBING A PHOTO

I took the photo on the sly, this summer in an avenue of Sevilla.
In the picture you can see a cardboard written by a homless person asking for money (You can read: Una ayuda para comprar un chalet en Marbella y un Ferrari, Please help me to buy an apartment in Marbella and a Ferrari) and in the background, people walking without even looking at him. He's invisible for them.
I think that the importance of the picture is not the picture, but rather the message.
It makes me feel strange: I think it's very sad (because nobody gives him money), and quite funny at the same time. He's trying to make people laugh, and they don't give him any money.
And it makes me think over the situation of this kind of people too.
