I love short movies, and have an annual tradition of watching every short nominated for the Oscars each year. However, this entry was so bad, it has got me wondering if the time has come to stop.
This is just sad, but it seems to be what's happening nowadays.A Danish girl works at the Salvation Army as a volunteer to help black African refugees.
It wants to be a love story about a refugee and an aid worker but it unintentionally ends up being a story about an international criminal conning a mentally handicapped woman into having his baby and giving him tens of thousands of dollars. I wanted to walk out and I honestly wish I had.
Silent Nights (2016)*** (out of 4) A Salvation Army worker finds herself falling in love with a refugee from Ghana even though it means her relationship with her mother might fall apart. Soon as her love begins to blossom she learns a secret about him.
If you lived during oppressive regime like a soviet block was, you would recognize propaganda movie on 1000 yards. On our equivalent site of movie ratings this has 20%, here its just voted up by blind liberals etc.
"Silent Nights" is a Danish 30-minute live action short film from 2016. The writer and director is Aske Bang, a Danish actor actually, and it is quite a success for him to get an Oscar nomination while still under the age of 30.
