This week I watched a short film called "The Most Beautiful Thing." The film is about a socially rejected high school boy with no friends and his discovery of a girl he develops feelings for that he wants to ask to prom. The beginning of the film shows the boy going through his day alone and sad. The next day while waiting at the train stop, the boy sees a girl that he finds attractive and says hello. The girl doesn't respond to his greeting, so he says hello again. The girl then realizes he is talking to her and scrambles to find a piece of paper in her bag, before writing on it that she is deaf. The next few scenes in the film show those two becoming very good friends. You are also able to see the boy developing feelings for her. After the montage of happiness, the boy is prepared to ask his new friend to prom, but sees what he believes is another guy kissing her, and backs out. This happens twice before the boy begins to avoid the girl. At the end of the film, the two run into each other in the hallway and it is revealed that the girl didn't actually kiss anyone else. The boy then asks her to prom is in sign language... I thought this short film was very true to its title. The story was very beautiful. It appeared to be filmed on a handheld camera the entire time, which gave the film an intimate quality. I really liked this film and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a sweet short film that might make them tear up.
