Respond to 10 Minutes

In the short film 10 minutes, it is narrating two people’s different life for tiny 10 minutes in paralleled space. The first man is an Asian tourist who is traveling in Rome. In his 10 minute, he wants to have photo developed. And the only thing he needs to do is waiting outside the shop. He lights up a cigarette with leisurable mood. The street is busy, but he doesn’t talk to any one. At the same time, anther character, the little boy Memo is required to get water and bread by his mom. He lived at a ghetto which in a war zone. He needs to run through war zone for finishing the “assignment.” The dangerous process set off his brave. He is chatting to anybody who he meets. “Coldness in peace world and warmness in war zone,” the comparison is very strong. The 10 minutes of the Asian tourist is colorful and leisurable, but the 10minutes of Memo is dark and full of panic. The director shows the contrast of two different 10 minutes to emphasize the significance of peace. If you are living in a war zone, you may lose everything in next minutes. Therefore, I think he is calling us for cherishing the peace, and the family.
