This article was first published on the WeChat public account "Neiguanying"

The two editors who have seen the premiere agree that this is indeed a particularly impressive film

This movie is suitable for any audience

Different people will find their own points of interest in it

The film won the 72nd Cannes Film Critics Week Award

The 29th Annecy Animation Film Festival Feature Film Crystal Award

And it has been broadcast at the Pingyao International Film Festival in October this year

The entire film revolves around a broken hand

Outline the process of the hand looking for the owner

and the master's upbringing recalled by the hand

So the "I" in the title of the film actually refers to the hand

That's interesting

The hand becomes the protagonist of the film

And the master becomes a supporting role

This transformation of subject and object itself is worth exploring

Is it a side hint to the character of the protagonist?

The main line below contains minor spoilers.

The opening Bach's cello solo and the father and son's philosophical discussion of "catching flies" set a profound tone for the film

Immediately after

No reason for the broken hand at all

The angle of view switches to "broken hand"

This life-giving hand has gone through

morgue,

Landfill,

subway,

Sewers, etc.

and with doves,

Ant,

mouse

battle of wits

These plots will remind people of a domestic classic cartoon "The Adventures of the Sloppy King"

Damn, it's a living revealing age!

at the same time

All the memories of the master's growth are gradually drawn through this hand

This look will remind people of Shunji Iwai's "Love Letter"

It's all beautiful layer by layer, giving the audience a break from the memories of the past

the difference is

Memories are generally reflected through the visual perception of the eyes

And here is through touch

Like the first hug with my mother

The first time I came to the beach to play on the beach

And the first time from a boy to a man

(Actually, there is no such thing in the film, the dirty editor is helpless)

Another main line of the film is the master of the hand in real life

How to meet a girl for the first time

how to find again

how to love each other

but never said

...

so

Just like another editor, I prefer the love element in this film

feel first love

feel throbbing

There is also a deeper point in the film is the relationship with parents and the side description of post-traumatic stress disorder

The protagonist loses his parents in childhood

been in a state of wandering

How to Overcome the Shadow of Not Being With Your Parents

regain independence

It's one of the few bright spots in the film's gloomy tones

lonely life in france

you without your parents by your side

Maybe it will resonate

The film also explores the expectations our parents place on us growing up

Whether we finally succeeded in becoming "us" in the eyes of our parents

For example, the parents in the film hope that he can become an astronaut when he grows up

He himself wants to be a pianist

But he grew up

Ended up being a pizza delivery guy

what reason?

Is it because the actual conditions do not allow it?

still is

Are we subconsciously deviating from the path our parents directed?

or

Subjectively rejected fundamentally?

besides

It's okay to watch this movie as a horror movie.

A closeup of a sawed-off hand in the piece

Various amputated limbs dripping with blood

There is also a sense of sight that the eyeballs have been stepped on

correct

I almost forgot to recommend it to students majoring in architectural design

You will also see things from your professional perspective in this film

all in all

Wait until you go to the cinema

can come back and tell us

see what more

    Pigeons slaughtered to avoid rat ice holes, wooden sugar cube houses in the North Pole, the difference between astronauts and astronauts drifting with umbrellas, the final victory of recording and reorganization, the body that cannot be returned, the memory that cannot be escaped... Sadness, reality, romance

    Since he was a child, he has been a high starting point in life, and when his circumstances turned sharply, "he" was not a good son, not a competent food deliveryman, let alone a competent carpenter. He was even short of a sultry girl, nothing. No... His hands still follow the master closely, never letting go... The unique perspective is full of surprises! The whole film is filled with sentimental atmosphere and soundtrack. The best cartoon ever watched recently!
