"La Luna" is an animated short film produced by Pixar in 2011. The story tells the story of a child who learns and grows under the guidance of his parents and grandparents, and eventually becomes the moon god who guards the moon. .
This is a very childlike story. The moon's cloudy and clear circles are composed of the moon god sweeping the stars that fall on the moon. The moon, this is the place that many children are curious and yearn for. The boy hopes to become an astronaut and go to the moon to see it one day. The girl makes a wish to the moon and tells the moon all the secrets. And the protagonist of the story, this growing character, is a child.
And this film review is not to analyze the story, but to find some interesting details in the film, which may bring a different interpretation to the animation.
The difference between the shot
and the movie is that the shot of the animation will not be affected by the actors and some surprises (a very good situation was shot by chance), all the "hidden mysteries" are "deliberately", which is in this film It is well reflected on.
1. At the beginning of the camera, we see the painting of the boat with "La luna" from left to right➡️, we can see the half body of the father, the whole body of the little boy, and the half body of the grandfather.
From the first shot, the story has been roughly told to the audience. This moon god is the boy sitting in the middle of the boat.
2. In the next shot, the boat is moving forward, and the camera deliberately arranges the boat on the left side of the screen. In order to reflect "driving forward", the boat is moving from bottom to top with an overhead shot⬆️ until the picture is drawn, which can be Create the visual effect of "walking forward" on a sea that looks the same everywhere.
Because of people's reading habits, we are used to reading "from left to right". In a picture, people's focus will be on the left side. In the picture, both entering and exiting the painting have an effect of creating a mysterious and moving trajectory.
3. Contrary to what was said above, the same technique was used when the boy was preparing to go to the moon. The side shot of the boy climbing up the ladder until the painting came out, giving people infinite reverie, the ladder also means growth, the boy is so Climbing to the moon step by step, is also growing step by step.
The boy floated up and accepted the gravitational pull of the moon. There was also a small change here. From the subjective perspective of the boy sitting on the moon, it was no longer from left to right, but from right to left. The meteor is also in the same direction. In order to distinguish it from the earth, it also reflects the world on the moon, which is very different from the earth.
Regarding the sound
, because it is a short animation, the music is not too complicated. Coincidentally, the music has many small surprises in these seven minutes.
In the opening chapter, the three people are sailing on the sea, and the background music is the guitar playing with a beach style, which stops after the grandfather turns off the lights. After the moon came out, it transitioned to the violin and piano ensemble.
After that, the moon is dominated by the violin and the piano, and at the end, back on the boat, the music returns to the guitar.
Just two different kinds of music, but they represent the different beauty of the two worlds.
Regarding the characters
, except for the boy, the remaining two characters are the father and the grandfather.
The main line of the story conveys a sense of inheritance and innovation to us.
First, let's talk about the details of the characters.
The meaning of "inheritance" is not only reflected in the plot, but also in the characters. All three have very similar looking attire, brown brimmed hats, shirts, overalls, and leather shoes.
On closer inspection, it's not that simple. The brown brimmed hat has become the representative of the father and grandfather handing over the task of sweeping the moon to the boy, but the remaining clothing details tell us that it is not only "inheritance", but also personal characteristics.
Grandpa's shirt is light green with the sleeves down all the time, while the father's shirt is greener with the sleeves rolled up, and the boy has his sleeves rolled up like his father, even the shirt color is changed to white.
Secondly, the father and grandfather play a crucial role in the boy's growth. From the layout of the three people on the boat at the beginning, it can be seen that the two are actually high above the image (the boy's heart), the boy sits in the middle, Watching the situation on both sides, learning from grandparents and fathers. When I received the package, I was careful not to open it, and only opened the package with the consent of the two.
In the first half, the eyes of grandfather and father are always blocked, and we can't see the character characteristics of the two people from them. We can only speculate from the way of wearing the hat and the use of tools.
It was not until the second half, when the boy solved the huge star, that the two really showed their eyes for the first time, showing a surprised expression.
In fact, the image of this boy is more like Pixar (hereafter referred to as p) and the images of grandparents and fathers represent traditional animation and Disney. On the one hand, animation has a basic tradition to continue, on the other hand, there are more Manipulator of great power. Since D acquired P in 2006, the situation is very different. D cooperates with P, but in general, D still has the upper hand, but because D's own creation is already very weak, P is more profitable and the story is more innovative. The development of P needs to The combination of D needs to continue to continue the "adventurous spirit".
This growing boy may be Pixar who is trying to grow up.
Maybe as the subtitles say, the boy is holding his own tools, looking at the stars on the moon, no longer needing the guidance of his grandparents, and taking care of the moon's cloudiness in his own way. That is exactly what Pixar has always been. doing things.
Carefully protect the moon in the hearts of every child in the world.
