Sebastian, diretto da Claudio Martins, è un cortometraggio adattato dal libro pluripremiato, “Ha gli occhi come il cielo,” dell'autore portoghese Socorro Acioli. Dipinge un'analisi approfondita del modo in cui le differenze tra individui e gruppo possono essere dannose sia per la persona considerata "altra" che per coloro che la circondano..
Il modo in cui la sua città tratta Sebastiana per il suo dono, even though she doesn’t try to attract attention, illustrates how much being different affects individuals from the collective. This difference makes people dislike her. They separate her from her friends because she’s seen as a threat. When Sebastiana gets mad because of all the harassment, she accidentally kills her friend with a thunderbolt. Nonostante questo, she is the cure to the damage she caused, and is able to save her friend with her tears.
This short film’s animation was well done, avvincente, and entertaining to watch. La musica, effetti sonori, and the lack of a voice for the characters made it that much more effective in delivering the whole story.
Penso che Sebastian has a good balance between a light hearted way of storytelling with its engaging and entertaining animations and its thoughtful and deep meaning below the surface.
io do questo film 5 per 5 stelle.
