Rocks and Chocolate

I really enjoyed this film. At first I thought the little girl was buying the chocolate bar for herself, but was pleasantly surprised at the end when she gave it to her father. I also thought the scene with the dad/daughter rushing home to save the eggs was pretty touching. Its always interesting to see how different generations work together to get to a common goal. Overall, it was a great story about generosity, that the little girl gave up money to be spent on her to buy a birthday present for her dad. She also gave up story time to set up the surprise of the gift. I think adult forms of media try too hard to look at the big picture. By looking at a small, very personal story, a great virtue is presented and given great value.
