About 'One Man Band'

This short movie revolve at the square of a city during daylight. This movie starts when the musician with drums tries to persuade a small girl to donate her only gold coin to him. But another musician with violin comes to compete with the first musician for the gold coin. Everything becomes complicated when the girl's gold coin rolls to the drain. Then, the small girl asks for the violin and surprisingly, she plays it skillfully and manages to get a bag of gold coin easily. After that, the girl changes from a kind-looking character to a vengeful one. She mocks the musicians by throwing two gold coins to the pond after offered it to them. At last, the two musicians cooperate to get the coin from the pond.

The theme of this story is revenge. As the evidence, the girls takes her revenge from the musicians by throwing two gold coins into the pond after purposely to make the musicians disappointed. This happens when her first coin rolls into the drain due to the musicians' mistake. The second theme is determination. The two musicians compete with each other hardly to get the only coin from the girl. This shows that they are very determine to get the coin. 

One of the symbols in this story is the gold coin. It symbolizes the life. Without the gold coin, the musicians have nothing to eat. That is why they try to get that coin either by hook by crook. The irony of this story is when the musicians cooperate to get the coins from the pond at the last part of this movie although they compete for it at first. This shows that anything can happen although it seem that they cannot cooperate at first. The girls also surprisingly a good musician because she plays better than the musicians. This is irony because actually the two musicians are begging and showing their talent to the girl without knowing her talent.
