“The luckiest nut in the world”




More of political shorts then a normal short film, “the luckiest nut in the world” was a very enjoyable short. Its soundtrack comprised of just background music it did allot. The film is more of a punch in the face toward the government and there laws of trade that seem to one sided, but is glorified by having a name called free trade. Moments in the film seem dull but as soon a peanut broke out into a catchy sometimes even rhyming song the viewer is instantly consumed.
Overall the film has a taste of humor in it; I honestly don’t see how the sound was used in any other way the just to further in rich the humor in the moment. The short might have been a humorous on e but in the end it was an eye opener, one can only imagine how much the peanuts trade could make but one can only imagine how much you can lose at the same time.
