Last summer, I watched the movie “Despicable Me”, believed that a lot you saw it too. The trailers for the movie were mainly by those little yellow “minions” doing funny things. And just recently, one of my best friends, Anoushka, shared a mini-movie of the minions —“BANANA”.

And now, all my friends greet each other in the fashion of

“Banana”    “Banana”

I really enjoyed watching this two minutes long short film, not only because I loved Despicable Me, but it is just a great laugh that helps me temporarily escape from reality. It was also so brilliantly scripted, that viewers just can’t stop themselves from laughing. And the best parts of all, there were only two words throughout the entire film. You might have guessed one, and it is for you to find out what the other one is.

There are many things in our everyday life that make us smile or laugh, we just have to notice them and appreciate them. With the internet and all sorts of gadgets that links us from one another, we should also share these moments and enjoy laughing together.

For me, the film was absolutely cute and hilariously funny, yet the best part wasn’t laughing when watching it, but to be able to share it with my friends and laugh about it over and over again. People who sit around us in class probably had no idea what we are talking about; when throughout our conversation only two words were used. But these are the moments that I cherish the most, because that’s what shows how strong our friendship is and just how we understand each other’s mind without needing to say much.

So, BANANA!!!
