Review of the Short Film: In a Heartbeat
There's been a lot of controversy about this short animated film. People saying that the video will have a negative effect on kids. When in reality, it would have a positive one if any. I highly suggest anyone and everyone watch this four minute video. Below is my brief synopsis of the film.
The video is about a little boy who forms a crush on another little boy. Its a harmless little crush. And this little boy feels judged by his peers for being different, for being gay. There is a little heart that constantly tries bringing these two boys together. And it ends up resulting in the heart getting broken (in half). But of course it wouldn't be a kids short film if it didn't have a happy ending. So in the end, of course the two boys have their little childhood crush on each other.
The film brought a tear to my eye after it had finished.
I'm a person who supports the LGBTQ+ so it was great to see it shown from a little boys perspective.
Now I do understand that some people do not accept and support the LGBTQ+ community. And that's alright. Not everyone has the same views and opinions, but if people could just stay respectful and have open minds that would be lovely.
And after watching this film, you still don't feel anything, that's alright too, bur keep your opinions to yourself because you could be hurting someone else by being opinionated against the LGBTQ+ community. As a person who is a very small portion of this community I know how it feels to have people put you down.
This short film was just to express how different people are in their sexualities. It was not meant to offend anyone.
