🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The short film constructs a simple moral fable, relying on the contrast between a child's innocence and an adult's greed. Through his signature trick photography, Méliès explores themes of chance and destiny.
What lingers after the final shot is a poignant sense of a lost opportunity for redemption, wrapped in the era's cinematic wonder. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: D.W. Griffith
