One Man Band

Mr.Razol,our lecturer,had showed us the short film, ONE MAN BAND .! From my point of view, although this film was about 10 minutes, it do carry a lot of meaning to me. Let me brief a little bit about this film. There was a little girl,who wanted to throw a coin into the fountain. All of a sudden,she heard a sound and it was from a musician who was equipped with musical instrument. He play the musical instrument very well and tends to attract the little girl so that she will donate the coin to him. When she was about to donate the money to him, she heard another sound.It was from another musician who was playing the musical instrument violin. Both of the musicians tend to attract the girl, so that they can have the coin form the girl. So, both of them tried to compete each other and started to play their musical instrument well. Suddenly,the coin accidentally fell from the little girl's hand and went into drainage. With full of anger, she asked a violin from the second musician for replacement. Both of the musician started to close their ears as she started to play the violin. Both of them was so shocked as the little girl played the instrument so well and as better then them. And all of a sudden, she got a bag of coins. The musicians expected that she will donate a coin to each of them, but what happened at the end of this film was, she threw 2 coins into the fountain as what she wanted to do earlier.

The moral values that I have learnt from this film was, we should not be greedy for money.In my life, from the people around me, I have seen and learned that greed can really cause a lot of misery and ‘injuries’ to our life and those people living with us. Because of love of money and greed, many people are not satisfy with what they earn and what they have. They want more and more wealth, to be rich, to be millionaires, billionaires as soon as possible. The result of many people are debts, bankruptcies and broken families. Others include theft, suicide and so on. We should be content with what we have. No doubt money is necessary for daily survival, there is no need to be greedy.

Secondly, what I would like to convey is, we should not be jealous with each other. Jealousy has always been one of the meanest quality of mankind. What is worse is that, it is almost inevitable. In one way or another, jealousy enters our lives, naturally and sometimes unconsciously, creating suffering for ourselves and others. As events from history and daily life have shown, human’s failure to stay away from this instinct has led to ruined relationships, suffering for everyone involved, and even demoralization.

In a nutshell, in order to live a peace and a happy life, we should not be jealous with each other and should not be greedy. Elimination of these two attitudes in a man's life, will lead you to be more successful and happy as what happened to the little girl at the end of this film
