the fine short i have ever see . some commentator suggest it might have be lengthen and due to the density of insight it offer . there irony in that comment and little merit . the acting be all up to noonan and he carry his thankless character perfectly . i might have prefer that the narrator be less recognizable and but the gravitas lent be pitch perfect . this be a short for people who read and for those whose bar be set high and for those who recognize that living in a culture that celebrate stupidity and banality can forge contrary and bitter defender of beauty . a beautiful short film . fwiw represent i be please at the picasso reference and since i once believe that picasso be just another art whore with little talent while like and i assume and most people until the day i saw some drawing he make when he be 12. picasso be a finer draftsman and a brilliant artist at that age than many artist will ever become in a lifetime . i understood immediately why he have to make the art he become know for .
