Unusual Friendship

Rating: 8/10 (21 June 2011)

The girl lives in the suburb of Melbourne. And the boy in the posh location of Newyork. Bonding of an unusual friendship form between these two when the girl's letter finds the boy's address. Unusual - because , there was very few in common between them except their loneliness. The boy is obese - courtesy his diet include chocolate, chocolate, and did I mention chocolate, and he had to regularly see a psycho-therapist. The girl has an alcoholic mother and workaholic father, and believes the babies are just found in cola-cans. And, yes I forgot to mention - the girl was 8 and the boy 44.
The concept was novel. The animation was unlike any other movies I have seen before. The lines that made the script were brilliant. I would rather the ending not to be sad. But, in that sad ending I just found a sort of blessedness, as I had found in 'The Elephant Man' or 'American Beauty'
Films like these make the movie-viewing experience worthwhile.
