From <\/b>Pulp Fiction<\/i><\/b> to <\/b>Captain Marvel<\/i><\/b>, we\u2019re used to Samuel L. Jackson starring in badass, action-packed roles. But recently, Jackson showed us his playful side as a whimsical salesman in Netflix\u2019s <\/b>Unicorn Store<\/i><\/b>, and we\u2019re loving it. <\/b><\/p>\n
Unicorn Store<\/i><\/b> is Brie Larson\u2019s directorial debut, and it\u2019s an absolute pleasure to watch\u2013especially for all of the dreamers who wish to embrace their inner child. \u00a0Larson plays Kit, a quirky painter who has flunked out of art school and is forced to take a soul-sucking office job at a temp agency. But when she receives an invitation to a mysterious building simply named \u201cThe Store,\u201d she meets an eccentric salesman (Jackson) who can fulfill her childhood dream of owning a unicorn. While the premise may seem offbeat and bizarre to a more conventional audience, that\u2019s exactly how the film succeeds. It doesn\u2019t try to be anything but itself. <\/b><\/p>\n
When we meet Samuel L. Jackson\u2019s character, he\u2019s wearing a pink suit with a metallic tie, and there\u2019s colorful tinsels in his hair, which apparently belongs to the mane of a unicorn. \u00a0<\/b>The Salesman\u2019s store is a magical place where even the wildest of dreams are birthed. He grants Kit with the opportunity of a lifetime: to own a unicorn and receive unconditional love. But there\u2019s specific requirements, of course, that must be met before she can officially own the unicorn. Number one, build a home worthy of a unicorn. Number two, surround the unicorn with love, which is accomplished by first finding love within herself. <\/b><\/p>\n
Throughout the film, there\u2019s questions on whether it\u2019s all a metaphor of Kit\u2019s soul being the unicorn. In many ways, this is absolutely true. But for all the idealists out there, you won\u2019t be disappointed, since there actually <\/b>is<\/i><\/b> a unicorn at the end of the rainbow. And when Kit finally becomes face-to-face with the beautiful creature that she\u2019s dreamt of owning her entire life, she instead thanks the unicorn and lets it go, as The Salesman has helped her to discover unconditional love within.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n
At its core, <\/b>Unicorn Store<\/i><\/b> is a heartfelt coming-of-age story about a young woman who wants to nourish her inner child and soul with love, passion, and happiness\u2013as we all should. As an artist who refuses to take a more traditional route in life at the unforgivable cost of losing my creative spirit, I connected to the character of Kit on a deeply personal level.\u00a0And who hasn\u2019t<\/i> dreamt of having Samuel L. Jackson as their magical mentor who grants their wishes and helps them to find themselves? <\/b><\/p>\n
Stream <\/b>Unicorn Store<\/i><\/b> on Netflix, and let us know if you\u2019d like to see Samuel L. Jackson take on more playful roles in the future.<\/b><\/p>\n
