Unsatisfying

A very funny short film that will make children laugh a lot. Who hasn't experienced dissatisfaction? The spoon falls into the soup, the basketball tips to the wrong side of the hoop, the egg in the pan breaks at the last moment, a domino doesn't fall... and so many others. The use of the poignant music of the composer Samuel Barber, the Agnus Dei of the Adagio for Strings (1936), but also the graphic universe in the image of American painting of the 1930s, “surrounds” the film with an inconsolable sadness and accentuates the derision and the humorous tone. Ask the children if they have ever experienced any of the scenes in the film. At school, list with your students unfulfilled experiences, moments of dissatisfaction, something that did not go as planned.
