Bottle

“Bottle”, a stop-motion animation by Kirsten Lepore. Somehow I am six-months late on this so you’ve probably all seen it by now. This is one of the greatest short films I’ve ever seen! Kirsten has crafted something truly magical here, a story with a heart and a soul.

    brown sand + ice = reason why there’s beautiful white sand!!! and the white sand beaches…!

    This delightful film can stand on it’s own without a soundtrack, although the soundtrack does make it a little more cute. Great work. I feel somehow like this is an ad for Facebook. Two friends, far away, who like to share things, but can never actually be with each other. If we could all learn morse code, then we would have world peace once and for all. :o )

  • Bubbe

    Base on a truth story. I love the ocean sound, not sure what you could do with snow. I love ~ Love Stories. Bitter Sweet.

  • chris

    great movie! i didnt expect them to actually send stuff back and forth,and the dead mouse was disgusting but funny how he put it on his head.

    Thats the saddest thing I’ve seen all day. I thought they where going to be together but no they just died.

  • Randy

    That was brilliant! Who knows, maybe they actually met up under the seabed.

    Beautiful, I expected them to pop up at the end though :(
