Everyone needs to see the short film called “Validation.”
Set on one man who, while validating parking tickets also validates the
customers with simple compliments. He is able to make even the grumpiest or
most unhappy people to smile. He goes on to do great things with his positive
and complimentary persona. Then one day while having to renew his driver’s license
he meets the woman of his dreams. There is just one problem however; no matter
how hard he tries he can’t get her to smile. Whether or not he succeeds and all
the different things he tries I will leave to you to watch and find out for
yourself.
The film sends a strong message on what a
difference just one person with a kind word can make in the lives of others.
Filmed in black and white and simple settings I feel the directors wanted it to
be about the message and not fancy cinematography or special effects. The
acting was a bit cheesy which adds a bit of humor to the film. Overall I agree
with the underlying message that compliments aren’t hard to give and that in
giving them we are making others happy as well as ourselves.
