Movie #876 ........................."Helium"





Movie #876 "Helium" is nominated for best short live action film 2014, and I thought out of all 5 of them, this was the best one.  From the start, the little boy and the janitor establish their characters --- the boy is dying, and the janitor had a brother who died at a young age and they both share a love of dirigibles and flying machines, so they bond right off the bat.  The janitor continues to tell him stories about a possible afterlife filled with helium, as the boy continues to do worse in his health.  The final shot is the best shot of the bunch of films here, and I wouldn't dare tell it here --- hopefully, you'll get to see it in the future.  This is a wow short film that I hope many people get to see, and I'm so glad I got to.
