"Movie Friday: "One Rat Short"

Another Friday, another movie. This week my selection is titled, "One Rat Short".

Today's animated short film is about one rat's innocent misadventure. It's an award-winning film in which our hero rat follows the mesmerizing ballet of a discarded food wrapper from his dirty black urban world into an unfamiliar blinding-white laboratory world.

One environment is so gritty, grimy, and dark that the viewer needs to peer into the screen in order to make out the images, while the other is so sterile and brightly lit, that you feel the need to turn your head away from the screen. A truely moving tale, and a beguiling adventure of unrequited love within a very unorthodox context. Very well done!

Yes, this might be a film about rats, but even rats can be beautiful too!

Enjoy, and have a wonderful weekend everyone!
