Went to the Black Nights Film Festival today, again. This time I watched a movie called " The selfish giant". The film follows 13-year-old Arbor (Conner Chapman) and his best friend Swifty (Shaun Thomas), who meet Kitten (Sean Gilder), a local scrap dealer – the ‘Selfish Giant’ of the title – and start collecting scrap for him using a horse and cart. Initially Arbor is a favourite of Kitten, who likes his drive, but when Swifty shows a natural gift for horses Kitten starts to favour him. With life getting tougher for Arbor he starts to feel increasingly alienated by Kitten and in a bid to emulate the man he admires he starts to become more and more greedy and exploitative. Soon tension builds between the two teens.
Ending was a little bit unexpected.
After the movie we walked to the bus stop, and there was this Christmas tree in lights just outside the cinema. I just like Christmas, okay? :D
