HELLS'KITCHEN + CS LEWIS



I really liked this short film. It was so unpredictable. Everything that happened in the film was unexpected. This is so beautiful because the reality of the film is the second coming and how, with the blink of an eye, things would go totally wrong. When these mishaps started happening, they were kind of funny but as time went on the message was clear. I like hoe the funny characters didn't take away from the theme or the seriousness of the film.
I also really liked the music thing at the end. The way the forms and shapes follow the beats and for a long time. One would think it would get boring but it doesn't...I feel like the film would have been incomplete without it.
CS Lewis in the article "Three ways of writing for children" said that authors write children's stories because "they are the best art-form for something you have to say".
The film "hell's kitchen", though it was an animated film with a little humor, addresses a serious matter and did not diminish it in any way.
People have important things to say and the way they say it is almost as important as what they have to say because how they say it would affect how people would receive it. And so as artists we must choose well what kind of art-form to use to express ourselves. Be it children's media or not.
