samboran When speaking of unicorns, we first imagine a legendary creature like horse with single large horn projecting from its forehead. In this film, "a unicorn" never shows itself. A gift box or something that is called unicorn is regarded as important. When I got what the "unicorn" means I also understood why the robot, who probably only knew what the unicorn is, ran away even though he sacrificed himself. Thinking of this things above, this film is very interesting and imaginative. But at the same time there are a few mysterious points. And the most important point, the identity of the "unicorn", was hard to catch for me. So I didn't like it very much.
missonigiri Everyone desires the box - the mysteriously attractive box that, like the ring from The Lord of the Rings, make people attached to it even to the point of murdering. The short film takes place in a modern city where robots and 'traditional' human beings, like us, live together. One day, a man walks into the city carrying the box, and the scramble for the mystical box begins.When I watched it for the first time, I didn't really get the whole story. Though it seemed like it was something new to me and it was fascinating. For instance, the way the robot moves and their human-like yet still very inhuman and steady face expression immediately grabbed my attention. I, then, tried giving it a watch another few times and I came to appreciate the short more. Everyone is attracted to the box and tries to get it, but when they finally acquire it, it brings them death. It's a deadly box. After I got it, I particularly liked the ending: a boy staring at the box.
otieno-nimesota The most impressive characteristic of this film is its rich imagination. We completely cannot picture such a worldview from the words given like 'unicorn'. The film describes the future very beautifully. We see an underground and its station that is located very deep in the earth, and security personnel that are robots. These images are clear, and stir our imagination.The box that the characters in the film carry is a key of the story, and has magical power. The story unfolds with a scramble for possession of it, and we gradually notice that the box has a mysterious and also dangerous power. When we see the last scene, we may not know the reason, but we feel something bad.The film is clear visually, and the sound effects are also successful. They help to describe the future views and a very tense atmosphere. We enjoy its worldview and the curious story the box causes.
k0038546 At a chilly place, a man is delivering a box. This might be a normal situation but there are some things which are unusual. A robot dog is walking around. Many men wearing full-faced mask are guarding the road. A robot man is serving a rich family. This situation is making this film tense. When the man arrives to a wealthy man's house, these two men starts to open the box and see what is inside it. Inside this box, "the Gift", is important in this film. After opening it, a scramble for this gift starts. Even a murder happens to get it. With several action scenes and realistic CGs, this film is full of stimulation. The way robots move is like a real creature. It would be quite difficult to understand the meaning of "the Gift", and since this movie isn't so long, about 5 minutes, I recommend you see this movie several times.
