I Just Want To Hug Him (:
This young boy found his way directly into the core of my heart. I could hear the sincereity in his voice, and although he is young I could feel a gust of emotions in his words. From the moment he started speaking my attention was cuffed. I love the description in his diction, because I could visualize him in his uniforms. The sound effects were light enough, not to drown my attention, but to support it. His script was a letter, which symbolised his willingness to forgive a man who had pratically abandoned him, and ability to acknowlegde a woman who endlessly cared for him. From the beginning I was hooked, he just kept reeling me in. I wish I could have leaped through my computer and just hug him, but in the end he seemed confident with the result: Either his father would come or not. Ultimately he had his mother's love, which mattered most. This would probably be my favorite of the night.
