The Stars Are Beautiful [126187] Released: 1974-11-19 Revenue: $0 Budget: $0 Profit: $0 Runtime: 19 mins Popularity: 0.2697 Vote Average: 5 Vote Count: 22 Overview: We move back and forth between scenes of a family at home and thoughts about the stars and creation. Children hold chickens while an adult clips their wings; we see a forest; a narrator talks about stars and light and eternity. A dog joins the hens and the family, while the narrator explains the heavens. We see a bee up close. The narrator suggests metaphors for heavenly bodies. Scenes fade into a black screen or dim purple; close-ups of family life may be blurry. The words about the heavens, such as "The stars are a flock of hummingbirds," contrast with images and sounds of real children.
