SCENE 2
Summary:
The story keep going with Oliver, he is very angry with the words
that his mother said, he always had to listen that if you were like
Cameron, if you were like Cameron….
Oliver
start to cry and to shout i wish to be like him, like Cameron!!!! And
that wish came true!
Next
morning, he got up and he discovered that he was Cameron but with the
brain of Oliver.
Firstly,
he was very very happy, although he discovered the emotive secret of
Cameron. And he regrets all what he have desired.
The
second part starts in Oliver’s bedroom, he is so sad about what
their parents have said….
Oliver:
(thinking and talking with hisself) I don’t understand my parents,
they always comparing with him, we are not rich, he has a easy life,
without worries, only he has to study, even he has an assistant that
do his bed. They would never have given me a phone because of my
marks.
Oliver:
They will never understand me. I am a problem for them
Oliver:
I wish i could be Cameron, i wish, i wish!!! A lot of money with no
problems.
I wish
I wish!!!!!
That
wish was granted, and Oliver got up the next morning in Cameron’s
body.
Oliver
(like Cameron): OH MY WISH WAS GRANTED!. I am Cameron, look at these,
my new iphone, my boat, my snikers, my hat, my chalet, my nice
parents, that is incredible ( is very exited)
Oliver
( like Cameron): He spent the day sailing and happy with their new
things, doesn’t worried with studies. Suddenly, he receive a
message.
Father
message: “ Prepare your things we have to go the hospital, you have
your medical check this afternoon”
In that
moment Oliver finally understand why Cameron never take off their
hat, he went to the mirror and take off their hat, he was bald
without hair, because he was sick, in that moment Oliver understand
why their parents was like that and understand that his life isn’t
esay at all. Cameron had cancer and his life's expectations are not
very high.
This
final will be without words and i have the intention that people keep
looking the screen and thinking about the story. The moral of the
short film is to try to explain that you never have to give
prejudices to someone that you don’t know well.
