This short film shows a speed painting of a tree surrounded by hands of different shades. The creator of the film, middle school student Abigail Goodwin, speaks about diversity and how we all need each other at the end of the day. If we were not all different -- different shades and colors like a rainbow -- we would fall apart like a rainbow that lost all of its color and beauty.
The story line focuses on appreciating the differences in people. I like that; it's the perfect way to help people in the real world get along. The camera work is great! There are so many different angles of the painting that's created and that add to its entertainment aspect, so you are not just staring at one thing the whole time. I like the speed painting and the one-second clips of people at the end that are mostly shot at a school. The upbeat music helps drive the film and it backs up the narrator. It also helps keep viewers engaged. Abigail Goodwin is the film's creator and she really delivers on the message! I love how she includes other people and the painting concept really supports the idea of the film, which the title clearly definite -All the Colors of the Rainbow. My favorite part is how the film starts in black and white and, while showing the painting, you hear the narrator talking about the world and what it would be if we were all one race or one religion if we all had the same thoughts. It shows the world as a dull gray place without spunk, uniqueness or color. This film would be perfect to show during special occasions like Black History Month or other moments where diversity needs to be appreciated. The film could be show on the big screen as an intro to a larger film. This film examines our uniqueness and skills, our similarities and differences. It celebrates diversity and why we need each other.
This film shares an important message of what we all need! We all need to accept each other and to realize how much we need each other. The film's message needs to be heard and understood.
I give All the Colors of The Rainbow 4.5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 5 to 18, plus adults. Reviewed by Tiana S. and Julie S., KIDS FIRST!
