There is so much to say about children

This is a movie about abandoned children. The film is about the process of zucchini getting love. At first he lived with his alcoholic mother, who was often beaten by her. When his mother died, he met a loving police officer, a principal, and lovely classmates. In a loving environment, he finally found his home.

On the surface, this is an easy reunion movie, but it is not easy to watch, and even sad. The protagonists of this film are not only zucchini, but also the children of the orphanage, each of whom longs for the care of their parents, but is deeply hurt by their parents. In terms of character creation, each person has a different degree of injury and presents a different mental state. For example, the girl who suffered the most severe trauma always covered her eyes with her hair, and her spirit was the most lethargic. Children's stress responses to different injuries are also different, such as premature rebellion, anxiety, etc. Each child's image is vivid and lovable.

Adults are divided into two categories, loving and unloving. Uncaring parents send their children to loved ones. It seems balanced on the surface, but is this really what the children want? The caring administrator Rosie and her husband, they should be the only caring parents with children here. After giving birth to children, they still won't put their children together with these children. In the process of loving transformation, many children are abandoned.

But everyone knew it was best to leave, and Simon would make trouble, because he knew that his friend could go to a better place, at the cost of separation. The police officer has done a good job and will not scold him for not taking away all the children. It is the parents of these children who should be questioned. It is a big sin to be born without raising them and not to love them. These orphanage children are around. A line that separates them from other kids, so they ask so much, do you love him even if he is? They couldn't believe it at all.

I really liked the scene after the zucchini was covered with the attic cover, the kite fell from the sky, and there was thunderstorm outside. The director gently did not let us see the bloody scene with the zucchini, but only metaphorized the mother's departure. Although Simon stole a zucchini kite, isn't the life of zucchini gradually improving?

    nice. That's how animation should be.

    Animation, especially stop-motion animation, is a form full of old-fashioned innocence and texture, which is actually more suitable for sorrow and loneliness than to add to the joy on the cake. The biggest advantage of French animation is the fit of picture, technology and story. Pay attention to fine art and details. Red nose, dark circles and winter sun. The subtitles and ending song are well matched!
