i lost my body

I often sigh about the mystery of fate. When I was affected by the panic and stress of the spread of the epidemic, I suddenly thought that it would be very valuable to be able to completely calm down and do what I liked, so I planned to read and watch movies every day? So I focused on On the contrary, I feel that the anxiety about the epidemic has gradually calmed down or even forgotten in the past few days, and I have discovered many excellent films and directors, which is indescribable joy.

The director of the treasure I found today is Jeremy Clapan, who accidentally turned to his animated feature "I Lost My Body", and I couldn't bear to read it in one breath. I almost cried with joy. The tone of the film is not high-spirited ~ a fragment of the life of a little person from the bottom of Paris, but because of the double-line narrative structure, the scene of the camera is constantly flashing back between the protagonist's past and the experience of the hand, and the perspective in the narrative line of the hand is on the observer and experience. The constant switching between the filmmakers made me, as a viewer, move with the film, unable to take care of myself, and deeply lamented the fate of the protagonist. Visible. There are more things worth recalling. The countless natural and man-made sounds in the film should be carefully sampled in the early stage, which not only promotes the plot but also brings a unique movie viewing experience, and the appropriate and exquisite music configuration further enhances the atmosphere. It's just right, like no music, you know that feeling? It is the complete seamless integration of vision and hearing...

Excited after watching it, I checked the director's information and learned that this was his first animated feature film. Before that, he had only directed four animated short films, and I couldn't wait to find resources everywhere to watch it in one go. Whether it is "Schizophrenia", which has a score of 9.0 and tells about loneliness and stress, or "Duck Web", which focuses on the sin of education of the original family, or "Story of the Spine", which yearns for indifference and beauty, or "Spine" which satirizes bystanders Beautiful Vibration", all of them have different painting styles and their own characteristics. Arousing thinking is the eternal standard of a good film, and my thinking has experienced a shock at the end of each film, which is a good feeling.

Can you calm down, you can try it out, maybe you will like it.

    The audio-visual design is not only good in itself, but also corresponds to the two childhood dreams of astronauts and musicians visually and acoustically, and creates a magical moment belonging to the movie at the space roaming and ending of the umbrella; the two are respectively different Carrying the voice teachings of father and mother, it travels through time and space with memory images and recorded voices, pulling "my" life. It's perfect. The hand fights against the flies of fate. I fight against the life of losing hands. The flies are all pervasive and unpredictable. Even if a fake action is bypassed, you may still encounter a joke, but what does it matter, laugh at it.

    7/10. The broken hand to find the body is equated with Lao Wufei's search for the self, and the search is the connection point of the cross-narrative: the broken hand who was pushed off the platform by the drunk was nearly smashed by the subway, the rats that breed in the underground attacked it, and the broken hand found The lighter used fire to push back the rats, grabbed the subway handle and managed to escape. The camera turned to the inside of the car. Law Wufei, who had found the library lady, didn't have the courage to sit beside her, so he could only watch silently. She got off at the station, Law Wu Phil rushed out but was nowhere to be found. Severed Hands and Lauufiel are both incomplete parts of the loss of subjectivity in modernization. Home is no longer a complete space for safety and memory. The indifference of uncles and the oppression of cousins ​​have limited Lauuffer's private sphere to small children. A small mattress, because of a late delivery of pizza, met love, but the wooden igloo that gave birth to a dream only exchanged for the lover's departure when he learned the truth, and the broken hand strayed into the home of a blind pianist and a baby with a pacifier. The loss of visual/verbal ability is a metaphor for a not-me existential dilemma. Hands and bodies are so close but unable to connect, just as tall buildings and cranes symbolize the gap between reality and dreams, he left a tape recording the leap of victory and bid farewell to the lost self.
