There is no way for a child to refuse the temptation of toys, and heinshiri is no different, when he heard that the neighbors Hilbostan's family were about to go to the "toy island" for a "vacation", he did not hesitate to say that he also wanted to go.
"Toy Island", 81st Academy Awards for Best Live-Action Short Film in 2009. It tells the story of a German family and a Jewish family during World War II.
Although it is a film that reflects the war, there are not too many violent scenes in it. Instead, it is from the perspective of a child that highlights the cruelty and ruthlessness of war.
Heinhill played the piano with a good friend from his Jewish neighbor, and Hilbostan stood by and watched. When downstairs yelled "Jewish pig, don't argue anymore", Silbostan helplessly stopped the two children from playing. It seems that they have long been accustomed to these "greetings". They're leaving...
When Heinshire heard that his neighbor was going to "Toy Island", he immediately said that he wanted to go too. This request was rejected by the mother without suspense. But he still quietly packed his bags.
His mother was not able to stop Heinshire, but he still carried his suitcase out the door and came downstairs, standing in front of the neighbor family who were about to leave. He didn't get into that car...
The mother was about to go crazy, and Heinshiri was gone. She looked around like a madman. Finally she was guided by the guards to the train station. Led by the officer, she came to the carriage where the neighbors went to "vacation". Heinhill is not here...
She saw Heinshire's friend, the neighbor's child. She took him off the train as Heinshiri and deceived the officers.
The train started, where the train went, the film does not explain. But in any case, there is no doubt that this is a road of no return.
This film can be said to be a miniature version of "A Beautiful Life". In A Beautiful Life, the father tells his child that it is a game and that the rules of the game must be followed in order to win and receive a tank as a prize. In "Toy Island", the mother tells Heinhill that the neighbors are going on vacation to Toy Island. None of them wanted their children to feel the cruelty of war. However, war does not become mild because of white lies.
Thinking about war and the desire for peace are at the heart of all films that document the period of World War II. Peace is precious in every age.
