The Butterfly Circus

We just watched the short movie “The butterfly circus”, and the part that affected me the most, was the compere sent between the main character Will, who was without arms and legs, and the caterpillars transformation to become a butterfly.  The caterpillar was owned by a small boy who lived with the circus, and it was the first we were introduced to in the movie. At that moment, the caterpillar is just a caterpillar, and that is also the first time we meet Nick. Nick is working at a freak show as the main attraction, and he is mocked several times a day. When Nick decides to travel with the Butterfly circus, which is much nicer to him, we also see that the caterpillar has become a cocoon, one step closer to a beautiful butterfly. Nick is coming more and more out of his shell, and achieving things he never thought he could do, such as swimming. He becomes a performer at the Butterfly circus, but not as a freak, but a stunt diver. He becomes a huge hit, and also an inspiration for other with struggles. During this period of time, the caterpillar has made the entire transformation from an ordinary caterpillar, to a beautiful butterfly. The short movie ends as we see the butterfly fly away.
