I prefer to understand the entire short film as a childhood memory.
When we are young, we always notice things that adults seem bland, add to our fantasies, and immerse ourselves in them. The boy accidentally owns a red balloon, the gray streets and houses, what a wonderful existence the red balloon is. With the company of balloons, the world has color, and the way to and from school is full of warmth and joy.
But the fun always comes to an abrupt end because of someone or something. Looking back on your childhood, have you ever had a similar experience of being disturbed?
At the end, balloons swarmed around the boy, enveloping him in color, and a smile appeared on his face again. It seems that the creator is trying to compensate and comfort the lost and helpless self in childhood.
A thousand readers have a thousand Hamlets, and once the work is finished, it is added with our experiences and emotions. Some people say they don't like the ending, and I'd wonder if that's what the author wanted to say the most. Give the boy from the past a care and a perfect ending
