MIRACLE FISH!

     This week I have a short film from Australia. This film was written and directed by Luke Doolan whom you can remember from the movies Animal Kingdom and The Square. It is an oscar nominated short film starring Karl Beattie. You can remember him from X-men Origins: Wolverine.

     Of the live action nominees in 2009, miracle Fish was my favorite; but, 'The New Tenants' won the Oscar.

     The film is about an 8 year old boy, Joe, who has an unforgetable birthday. On his birthday Joe comes to school. He is rediculed by his friends because his mother is on welfare. Then the boy takes a nap during recess, he wishes everyone in the world disappear. When he wakes up, he find the school completely abondaned. The reason why isn't clear until the film's closing scene.

     So, as it is written in The Dependant, Miracle Fish is a film that will keep you on the edge of your seat until its final moments.

     I think you will like it too. It lasts only 17 minutes. Enjoy the movie!
