Minimalist style, full of childlike innocence and flying imagination, this high-scoring Brazilian animation is enough to indulge people just by looking at the picture......
In particular, the color blocks are used very beautifully. It is no exaggeration to say that every frame can be cut off as a wallpaper.
This animation is a dreamy and real, simple and profound "Boy and the World".
It tells the story of a boy who takes his innocent self to explore the outside world, finds, gets lost, grows old, and returns. Such a story about growing up.
From the very beginning, the director took us into a natural world full of curiosity and innocence from the perspective of a little boy, full of colors and joy.
With the sound of a jingle bell, the colors gradually faded and became monotonous black and white. It turned out that his mother was calling him to say goodbye to his father who was working outside.
Before leaving, his father played the familiar sound of the flute for him.
The boy still can't let go of missing his father. He often thinks about the time he spent with his father.
Finally, one night, he embarked on a search journey with a family portrait.
This is a wonderful trip. The boy saw the prosperity of the city, cars, people, advertisements...
Everything is different from the countryside, and everything is the same.
He met a lonely old man who lived alone with a dog. The old man had a simple job and only relied on hard work. In the end, he was fired by the shrewd boss because of a cough.
Then I met a young man working in the factory. Like other workers, they wore the same work clothes and repeated the same mechanical movements every day. Their lives were boring and helpless.
The boy also saw the duel between Caifeng and the black eagle. In the end, with the bombing of modern civilization, Caifeng was defeated and died...
The animation "Boy and the World" is full of childlike imagination, and there are many unrestrained scenes.
For example, machines that eat trees are designed to take the shape of locusts.
Rainy days turned into waves on the river.
The boy holds the kaleidoscope and indulges in the image changes, and the funny behavior formed by moving forward...
In addition, the soundtrack is also very good. There is basically no dialogue in the whole film, but it achieves the feeling that silence is better than sound.
In particular, the music of the flute played by his father, which runs through the audience, is a bright imprint in the boy's heart, and the beating desire brings him the strength to move forward.
Some netizens commented: The world of children is so simple and beautiful that listening to music is like gaining the whole world; and looking back on your life, what you can never forget may be just a simple melody.
In the end, the boy does not find his father, who has become one of the thousands of working zombies in the urbanization process.
There's this scene in the movie: the little boy drops his bike, comes to the station with joy, looks at the train with hope, the door opens, and the first person comes out, and then the other, and everyone else, all following him. Same as dad.
It turned out to be an empty joy.
And this time, it was just another moment of disillusionment brought about by the reality.
In fact, the old people and young people the boy meets in the story are all his future self.
Just like everyone has become his father, the boy is also like his own father. In the torrent of modern civilization, the same fate cannot be changed.
He lost, found, experienced, and found the joy of life in the city, but when his life experienced an involuntary change, he was lost again, and he spent his life like this.
But what is touching is that in the process of finding his father and meeting himself, the boy did not lose his precious innocence. Therefore, the world in his eyes is still full of surprises and happiness. The inextinguishable music from childhood.
The music is colorful, and the colorful phoenixes composed of different colors are also colorful, they are powerful weapons against this cruel and monotonous world.
Colors represent abundance and freedom, and it is precisely because of colors that there will be more tolerance and difference, as well as the diversity of happiness.
The happiness in the boy's memory is very simple: at that time, the family was together, and a piece of bread was divided into three portions. Dad dipped some butter in my bowl, he dipped some in my father's bowl, and my mother also dipped some in his bowl. Happy and content.
The family planted a seed together, covered it with soil with three hands, kept playing with each other, and easily fell into a happy dreamland after a brief hug.
In the end, the dead Caifeng was reborn, the boy found the familiar music, returned to his parents' arms, and fell into a dream of happiness.
As netizens said: Actually, it is for adults to see. The cruel and realistic world after growing up. Just don't forget the melody in your heart, because that's where the happy bird is.
When people are alive, there will always be some involuntary things. We are passively involved in this world, and we spend our whole lives in pursuit and loss. If we can still retain some nostalgia and beauty in our hearts, it should be a great thing.
