The film gradually enters with a light blue sea of ​​stars, and a boat slowly passes by. Unlike other films, the opening of the film does not use a panoramic view to explain the characters, locations and scenes, but uses close-up shots cleverly, only intercepting a small one. The boy's big head, curious eyes and the lower body of the two people aroused the curiosity of the audience and guessed the relationship between the three characters, and secondly explained the protagonist of the film - the little boy

Who is the protagonist at a glance

The camera is zoomed out, a boat is drifting on the sea in the blue star sea, looking down on the camera is full of beauty, tranquility and insignificance, gradually zooming in, three figures come into our eyes

brown hat

The triangular composition implies a fixed relationship between the three. The little boy has a big head, a small body, and big and curious eyes. The figure on the right has a burly body, a black beard and a serious expression, while the figure on the left has a white beard, slightly Hunchback, so I guess the relationship between the characters is a father-son relationship. The little boy opened the gift and found that it was a hat. He excitedly clasped it on his head. At this time, we would find that all three of them were wearing hats of the same style and color, which further strengthened our speculation. , The hat symbolizes a spirit or culture, which is passed down from generation to generation before grandchildren and grandfathers.

The push-pull camera moves back and forth, and there is a conflict between the grandfathers. The father wants to lower the brim of the hat, and the grandfather wants to push the brim of the hat up.

The camera is zoomed in again, and the father and grandfather are shot from the boy's perspective with an elevation lens. The elevation shot makes the characters taller, showing that the father and grandfather have a very important position in the child's heart, and they learn to do their actions, which is a metaphor for growth. start with imitation

With the encouragement of the father and grandfather, the child decided to take the things and sustenance given by the father and grandfather to the moon. It is worth noting that, when the angle of the shooting was changed, the boy's expression was photographed through the ladder, showing the child's concern for strange things. A trace of fear, curiosity and joy, and other complex emotions

Another set of push-pull shots, paired with panning shots, give people a strong visual impact, and it is also the first perspective of the characters, so that we can see the boy's excitement overflowing from the screen

The boy is curiously poking the little star

When using something to clean up the little stars, the two grandfathers quarreled again, once again a metaphor for the relationship between the characters: connected to each other and independent of each other

It is still the push and pull of the camera to enter the stage, making the appearance of a big star reasonable and stunning, the music gradually entering, different from the previous leisurely and comfortable, the tone is cheerful, and the quarrel between the grandfather and the grandfather is stopped abruptly.

From the top shot of the little boy touching and looking up under the stars, to the gradual flat shot, it expresses the psychological change of the little boy from being overwhelmed to wanting to try

gradually flattening

It is worth noting that the little boy turned the brim of his hat to the back and ran towards the moon with a firm expression. From imitating the actions of his father and grandfather, obeying his grandfather and father to put a hat on himself, and now turning the hat to the back, indicating that Boys grow up psychologically and have their own thoughts

brim back

The boy ran into the bucket, took the tool, climbed up to the moon and took a close-up of the small hammer, which not only explained that the tool in the boy's hand was different from that of his father and grandfather, but also implied the child's determination. The slow motion recorded the happiness of the boy falling from the stars and the astonishing expressions of his grandfather and father. The painting style is beautiful and touching.

small hammer

Once again, zooming out with a close-up, close-up of the small rake, and zooming out, we found that the grandfather, grandparents and grandsons took different tools respectively. There was no quarrel, and it was fun until the picture faded out.

Close-up small rake

The use of music in the film is very clever, with soothing and clear music gradually entering, setting off a peaceful and peaceful atmosphere, when the moon appears, the music will make people feel more and more sacred and solemn, not only to give the audience this feeling, but also Express the child's psychology; when the grandfather is arguing, the music gradually decreases, and then disappears completely. The appearance of the big star pushes the plot to a climax. At this time, silence is better than sound. Afterwards, the grandfather and grandfather's laborious but ineffective prying and pushing were contrasted with cheerful music. The little boy appeared, and the sacred and soft music sounded again. The boy completed the task in beauty, the soothing music sounded, and the boat slowly moved forward. .

The growth I understand is not to become a similar person at the request of the parents, nor to blindly disobey the parents and pursue the so-called maverick, but to find one's own thoughts and insist on being oneself through practice and exploration. The same is true of bravery, not afraid of the future, daring to face, daring to break, and daring to persevere.

Start with imitation, but refuse to copy.
