Short Film - "Uncommon Beauty" (2007)

***Darius1988 should say Darius888***
sorry!!!!!!

This is a short film I made for my non-linear editing class at Fanshawe College here in London, ON. It's basically about how looks can be deceiving and that you can't judge a book by it's cover. A big thanks to Stu Mitchell and Darius Jones, who have also posted their films on their channels too. Check them out!

Most the comments here are not reflecting the moral issue of the story.The message of the film seems to conveys a dim reality about how we see people and

how we judge based upon a person's circumstances and don't see the creative

beauty that lies inside.

you're absolutely right. so many people see the exterior and don't look deep enough to see what truly matters, or what each and every person has to offer. Thank you for the comment :)

friendly for money but it wasn't like that at all. It really changed my perspectives. I'd love to know what he's doing now. His artwork was incredible.

I loved this film. It's beautiful and as you can imagine it bought back alot of memories ... I could relate to it in a way.

Very well done =)

The film fails to convey its moral issue well. The theme - 'The outer does not necessarily reflect the inner'' needs a protagonist we like This 'bum,is not presented in a way that we care Subject walks and acts like a organ grinders monkey, He finds the notebook, uses it, then looks surprised he is out of paper. Then tosses it littering. He is not a sympathetic character. Visual metaphor of HIM, his art, & contrasting it's beauty to his condition is missing. The themes point is not made well.

Wow! This reminds me SO much of my time spent in Vancouver. Last year when I was there I was sitting by Granville Public Market having a coffee and a homeless guy was sitting on the pavement opposite me. He was drawing some stuff and it was so unique and I just had to say something to him. So I did and we got talking and he was so intelligent and so talented. He told me alot about Vancouver also and he even asked if I wanted a tour around. Now I know most people would probs think he was being...
