When talking about this film, many people always start with Bazin, presumably this is only the first step in understanding this film. Because, to say that this film is a paragraph shot - an outstanding representative of realism, I only see that it realizes the true pursuit of film philosophy at the level of photography ontology - that is, a psychological motivation to record reality, but I do not see it through reality. The surreal results of the scene of the show - a fairy tale about a child's innocent dreams.

Obviously, after the red balloon is trampled, it is impossible for all other balloons in Paris to disappear, and it is even more impossible for the child to fly in the air driven by the balloon... In fact, the first scene at the beginning of this film already hinted at The dreamy atmosphere of the film, and the children's chasing after that, is actually like a fantasy game. Perhaps, the red balloon is a simple and beautiful symbol of the child. He chased the balloon until he became a balloon and flew freely in the sky.

In terms of cognitive habits, the segment shot is more appropriate to the reality of time and space. Therefore, the dream balloon that takes off in reality can make the audience feel incredible; more importantly, it allows the audience to return to their own reality in reality. In the age of innocence, the courage to pursue the ideal that has not been alienated.
