There are people who believe in different things: Religion, love, science, etc. Personally, I believe in the power of destiny, which is the main topic of this short film called "paper man".
This film was directed by John Kahrd and animated by Walt Disney animation studios, in 2012. It shows us the story of a young man, in the "40's" New York City, who’s waiting for a train when suddenly a paper appears, which belongs to a woman and when the man returns it to her, it gets stuck in her face, and they laugh because her lipstick stained the paper. Sadly, when the young man tried to talk to her she was already gone. Then, at work, he finds the woman in a building and tries to get her attention by sending paper planes to her. After several attempts, the woman left the building and the young man goes out to find her, but he finally gave up. As if by magic, the paper planes started to fly and guide them to the station and they can finally meet.


I love the technique used in the film: Everything is black and white except for the lipstick of the woman, because you can see how the life of the young man is so daily until she meet the woman, and so is life and the real meaning of love: your life is boring until destiny has something for you, and gives you a radical change.


I like this video because, first I love Disney, and second I really think that everything happens for a purpose, in the exact moment and place. If you believe that you have a routine life, I’m really sure that something very nice will happen to you someday, you only have to wait.
Did you like the video? Do you believe in destiny?
Take care.
