The first time I saw this short film, I was attracted by the little sandpiper on the cover. My first impression at that time was: wow, this sandpiper is so cute!
I watched this clip a few times and it really had an impact on me. The story is roughly the story of the little sandpiper who, with the encouragement of his mother, left his warm nest and went to the beach to catch mussels. Although he experienced difficulties in this process, in the end, the little sandpiper ate the mussels, and overcame his heart and overcame the timidity in his heart.
At first, the short film reminded me of a word - "snipe and clam fighting", but in this short film, there are sandpipers and mussels, but the fierce scene of the competition is no longer there. The scene; coupled with the high-quality special effects of the animation, it makes people look like it is real, and I think this makes the audience feel good.
Whether the short film is at the beginning, the middle, or the end, it will give people a new look, and I think this short film seems to be about the growth of the little sandpiper, but it actually hints at our real life. In real life, we are just like this little sandpiper. Before exploring the unknown world, we will become dependent on our parents, just like the little sandpiper was dependent on his mother at first.
However, we will always be encouraged by our parents like it is, to explore, to discover, to experience. When we take the first step, we will find that this unknown world is also very beautiful. For the little sandpiper, it can prey and solve its own food and clothing problems; for us, it is like striving hard and taking the first step towards success.
How can it be so smooth to be successful? Our life journey will not be smooth sailing, there will always be setbacks. We may be attracted to good things, or satisfied with that little sweetness we just tasted. In the end, I was beaten back to the original point by the unseen and unknown difficulties, and I even felt timid about the outside world and the real society.
Even if you muster up the courage to try again, you will be afraid. At this time, we may encounter some people or things, they give you strength and courage, let you continue to explore and overcome those difficulties. Just like the little sandpiper met the hermit crab, and dared to face the waves head-on, and even was washed by the waves again, but because of its courage and the help of the little hermit crab, it opened its eyes to see the beautiful scene in the waves. Is this the same as us? After overcoming difficulties, I discovered the beauty of the world.
Finally overcame the difficulties and overcame the fear. Achieving his dreams and being recognized by others.
This short film mainly tells the story in a straight-line structured approach. Whether it is the story, the colors, or the music that sounds just right, it adds a lot of color to this short film. At the same time, it also enables the audience to realize a truth of life: life is an experience, grow through experience, and understand through experience.
When we are knocked down by difficulties, don't be discouraged, as long as you persevere and overcome difficulties, you can always achieve your ideal state! Live your ideal life! This short won the 89th Academy Awards in 2016, and I think it deserves this award.
These are all personal opinions, and I look forward to your readers' suggestions. I will try to correct it; take the best and get rid of the dross!
