The Man Who Planted Trees

There is just something about the man who planted trees that intrigues so very much.  That even now on my quiz essay, that film is the one that comes to mind first.  I would think that looking back at the film it would be the least memorable film just because it’s very quiet and truthfully not much happens for a video that spans 30 minutes long.  I feel like at the same time however, that that peace is what makes to movie and really contributes to the story as a whole which is an alone man who spends most of his life planting trees which isn’t really all that impressive by itself.  But through that peacefulness there is so much beauty to be had. 

First of all the art style is catchy and could alone hold my attention for 30 minutes.  But beyond the aesthetic is a story that is truly inspiring.  Of how one man can change so much by just planting trees! I find this really encouraging that a man doing what he loves changes the world without him really even knowing it.  Plus he is carefree of the world around him, even when wars and such are going on around him, he doesn’t notice and keeps on working.  A also find the narrator’s voice very soothing and I feel like they couldn’t of picked a better narrator, his voice is soft and he talks at just the right speed. 

Anyways, The man who planted trees is a beautiful film which inspires me along with intriguing me.
