"Red Balloon" is a live-action short film with a fantasy genre shot in France in the 1950s. At the beginning of the film, it appeared with an empty shot, a gray building, but the horizon in the distance was exceptionally fresh. The protagonist, the little boy, entered the painting, and the lonely little shadow silently stroked the equally lonely puppy. As soon as the camera changes, it is a dirty and dilapidated staircase. The little boy climbs up the light pole nimbly. The surrounding buildings are dilapidated and gray, and the red balloons are extremely bright red. The little boy shuttled through the street with a balloon. People's clothing and street scene were full of a strong sense of age. People came and went on the street, but they were all expressionless, and the atmosphere was heavy and suffocating. And such a bright red balloon appeared on the street and became a beautiful landscape. The color contrast was extremely strong, adding a sense of vitality. In the whole film, balloons are used throughout, and balloons are also the brightest color in the film, because balloons themselves symbolize all the beautiful things in the world, and symbolize beautiful innocence.

The dialogue in this film and its simplicity are almost dominated by background music. The moment the little boy got the balloon and landed, the music changed from soothing to cheerful. When it rains, the little boy borrows someone else's umbrella to shelter from the rain and also brings a balloon with him, and the music changes to a slightly funny melody, as if to express the feeling of crying and laughing at the simple behavior of the little boy. And in the section where the teacher locked the little boy because of the balloon, the red balloon followed the teacher on the street, and an old man following such a childish thing must be particularly eye-catching. At this time, the music became faster and faster. The lining teacher is extremely funny. At the end, the little boy is carried in the air by a balloon, and the music is very cheerful. The film's dialogue is minimal, but the background music enhances the expressiveness of the plot and promotes the development of the plot.

The plot setting of this film is also a great idea. It takes fantasy as the theme and gives life to an ordinary balloon. Although it can't speak and has no expressions, it occupies an extremely important position in the film. In the film, the little boy is always alone. He should be at the age of wanton play, but without the company of a small partner, childhood is so boring. But after the red balloon appeared, everything was different. It always accompanies the little boy, accompanies him to and from school, and sometimes even hides for the little boy to catch him. No one can touch it except the little boy. It is such a red balloon that embellished the little boy's boring childhood and made his face appear the smile that should have been at that age. However, nothing good exists all the time. Other children envy the little boy for having such a balloon, and try their best to destroy it. A group of people besieged the little boy, but the balloon refused to float away. In the end, he was hit, and all sounds were still. , the camera closes up the balloon, and it slowly landed crumpled... However, all this did not end, the balloons in all corners of the city rushed to fly to the lost little boy sitting on the lawn, he grabbed these colorful balloons, With a bright smile. In the end, the balloon took him into the air. Over the dark and dilapidated city, the colorful balloons were so bright and bright...

This red balloon is probably a gift from God to the little boy. I feel bad for him alone and without a playmate. Possess innocence. Perhaps, each of us had such a red balloon in our childhood, which accompanied us for a while, embellishing our ignorant childhood. Such a childish and beautiful childhood, there is only one time, every child at that time should be loved and cared for!

    Not only "Flying House", but also "Love of Blue Umbrella". If it makes me as naive as the movie, what I'm not satisfied with is: how could the red balloon just be ignored by him? What a ruthless child. It's so beautiful and French, but it's just beautiful, not really beautiful.
