Female: This short film is very interesting, I finally understand it!
So let me ask you, do you know why this film is called " The Magical Flying Book of Mr. Maurice Lessmo", I mean, just call it "The Magical Flying Book"?
Woman: Ha, if you ask me, this film is a tribute to the late Mr. Morris, a pioneer of library promotion...
good! Then let me ask you another question, why is this film a silent film without dialogue?
Woman: It's hard to say, anyway, I know this short film is about the relationship between books and people, books can light up life, and books have life...
Or let me take you to analyze this movie, you will find more inspiration...
At the beginning of the film, the male protagonist is studying in a hotel, pay attention, hotel, the director's subtext, this person has no home and no fixed place to live. It should be thought of this way. In fact, each of us is just passing by in a hurry. The most important thing is to find a place for the soul!
Woman: Yes, you have to say that, I found that in the tornado, the male protagonist stepped on the tumbling house to pursue the book, which is very metaphorical, the male protagonist has no fixed place, no roots under his feet ...? !
Originally! As soon as the wind blows, it rises from the ground, fluttering like a piece of paper...
Let's see, the background music of this film changes and switches in different combinations of speed and slowness, which is used to adjust the mood of the film...
Female: This song seems to be a children's song "Pop goes the weasel" full of childlike interest...
right. And the book we saw Mr. Morris took, it can be said to be his life biography, stick hat and book , maybe only a few simple things that a person remembered by others have become his logo... …
Female: There is a lot of philosophical thought implied in it!
This film is to explore the philosophy of life . The book can bring readers nothing more than that, but it is also the most valuable thing.
Woman: Why do you say that, isn't there a lot of books...?
Then you are wrong!
The road is simple, this is the inspiration of the book!
Let's see, after Mr. Morris was hit by the hurricane, he met a "fairy", it should be said to be a deceased soul, dragged by several books, dancing in the air...
Woman: So beautiful!
Pay attention to the contrast at this point, the hurricane can lift you up from the ground. And books can also lift you up and make you dance, but it's beautiful, romantic, reverie and refreshing ...
female; understand. Compare that to the destructive effect of a hurricane!
In addition, we can see from the comparison of the following pictures that when human beings encounter disasters, most people are powerless to change the environment, change the past, and even nightmares cannot be erased from your memory... So what should you do? Only through books can you re-examine everything around you and make you re-perceive the world around you...
Woman: Oh, I see. This is how books light up the way of our lives. Although books cannot change the environment, they can change your view of the environment!
right! Therefore, a comparison must be made here to see the director's intention. In the same vortex, people are in it, but they have different moods.
The purpose of reading is to purify the mind. Let you in the cold world, you can still feel the warmth and sunshine.
Woman: Oh, I see! For most people, reading is really like that, seeking solace and finding a place for the soul . I saw that old lady, with a book, found a companion, and the child took the book and opened up a colorful world...
Woman: Master Sensen, why did you mention silent films?
Not only the handling of silent films, let's see how the director artistically presents this communication and exchange between people and books.
There are also questions such as why music is introduced . If you don't think about these elements, they are not dramas, but if you really study them carefully, you will find that these are the most creative highlights.
Woman: Then you can tell me!
Let's think about it, when we read books, does the exchange between people and books seem like a piece of music or an image emerges. For example, for example, when we read "Water Margin" or "The Wizard of Oz"... all alone, quietly, sometimes even laughing ... We never read it aloud, we meditate quietly, we seem to We can see the characters in the book, standing in front of us vividly... and those jumping words can completely put us in the world of the book ...
Woman: That's right, that's true! Therefore, this film is presented as a silent film, but the rich and colorful composition and music make people feel that there is no regret at all. At this time, the dialogue is meaningless, and it really presents this kind of communication between people and books artistically...
Therefore, it is concluded that the content of the book is completely visual in our minds, and it is an audio-visual experience.
We should also note that:
The film's advocacy and rendering of books have not weakened the power of audio-visual products at all!
Woman: Wow! If you say so, this movie is absolutely amazing. No wonder it won an Oscar!
Well, reading is the process of the reader interacting with the characters in the book . Retreat and talk a lot, read quietly, think quietly, all the books will move when you get excited, accompany you to dance with you ...
Woman: In the middle of the night, they meet with you in your dreams. No matter the book or the words in the book, they are alive!
right! Sometimes they are quiet, they may listen, they may sleep, as long as you understand it...
Therefore , the film is interspersed with many scenes of sleep , and the audience sometimes cannot tell whether it is a dream or reality. In fact, the director wants to explain:
Every reader is fascinated by the world of the book, unable to distinguish between dream and reality...
The reason why I repeatedly mention the communication between people and books is because "Little Fairy" gave the male protagonist a guide book, or a book of revelation, and this book accompanies Morris through the peak and sunset of his life...
Female: Yes, it is true that the animated little egg in that book has been communicating and communicating with the male protagonist.
But have you noticed that on the right side of the book, there is a striking capital H
I looked it up, Humpty Dumpty, it's a human-shaped egg, English translation: he sat on the wall, then fell off the wall and broke... The king and soldiers came to save him, but the broken egg can't be recovered ...
That's right! So I said that the director also used this ballad to imply that the environment and encounter often cannot be changed . The pain experienced by people can only be healed in another way, and that is the magical power of books ...
The attitude of watching the movie is very serious. Since we don't know much about foreign literature and slang after all, it's necessary to do a little research in this area to understand the whole movie.
Female: Actually, there is a novel behind this nursery rhyme, but it is transformed into a nursery rhyme, that is, the few lines of English words presented in this film. As for novels, anyway, they look at politics, history and life in a satirical and self-deprecating tone, and novels present society in a first-person "I" attitude...
At this point we should pay attention to the emergence of the concept of me ! We say that reading and thinking are subjective behaviors . I go to read, I understand everything in the book, I communicate with the characters in the book, and the book can only change my situation and future ...
Did you know that any story involving a book or a writer's film has a very high artistic content!
Woman: Then why?
You think, all book lovers are people with great connotation and knowledge. Since you want to do this kind of story, you won’t be able to read it if you are too low. Therefore, a theme like this is not something that ordinary people can play around with . The artist's artistic skills, unable to control this kind of story...
Female: Really, the amount of information carried by this short film is really huge. Only people with high artistic cultivation and deep thinking can see the profound meaning of this film.
When we look at "Little Fairy", a person's life can be inspiring and impressive, but only those few books have become her wings, and the nursery rhyme lent to the male protagonist Morris has also become his life. Guide and friends, accompany for life. And the male protagonist's autobiography and stories will also become assistants for other people's life... This is the value and significance of the book!
So let's see, this film doesn't map out any bibliography in the corners , it's just a nursery rhyme!
Woman: What if there was a screenwriter to create a well-read male protagonist, Morris?
Then I would like to ask him, how many books have you read, so that you can understand philosophy and live? Bullshit!
To say a few digressions, reading a lot does not mean understanding life and art. I have seen a lot of idiots who are full of poetry and books. Once in the art world, it's worthless, it's completely two categories! So it's useless to mess around in this circle and show how many books you read !
Woman: Yes, if you do that, it's a typical pretend b! Many academies around me are keen to talk about the great Western director and his works, and talk to you all day long . How many times have you watched a movie, you may be embarrassed! And if you really want to ask a few questions, then you can ask three questions without knowing anything, or just shoot guns and say a few words...
Hey, this kind of person is really, how should I put it, it's amazing! So when you watch this film, the music and articles quoted are nothing but ballads and a children's song. It's simple, but transparent and intuitive. The judges look at your philosophical thoughts, realms, and metaphors, and these are called artistic presentation of ideas...
Woman: Finally, can you explain to me the philosophical thinking of the simplicity of the road and the simplicity of life ?
Well, let's look at it when we come back. In fact, I can only remember a few poems in my life, the childhood ballad "Pop goes the weasel". This film talks about life and death , reminding us of epitaphs, which are just a few short sentences...
In fact, everyone's life will always be summed up in one or two sentences at the end, but that is always with you. Like music, like a nursery rhyme, it doesn't break, you're sure to remember it at some point. Because that is the companion that accompanies you throughout your life, sings the melody in your heart, and guides the path of your life with a few words...
Woman: Yes, I remember that after the disaster, the hero quickly picked up his music , sometimes low, sometimes cheerful and high-pitched... I think it will always be his music, his story, and finally it will be Accompany him on this journey of life...
Woman: The names you mentioned are important to me now. I really need to be myself in reading. How do I live and how I choose my life? It's so philosophical!
Yes, there are a lot of close-ups, the book is turning pages quickly, and the little egg is physically communicating with the male protagonist, but the audience must pay attention. The right is a capital H, which is a person's name , not a Hi.
Woman: Ha, I really thought it was a greeting at first
The director is playing hide-and-seek with you, as well as hints and hints!
Woman: Why is that?
game! Games are dramas, dramatic, interesting, and full of childlike interest. Who is suitable for art? Active thinking, strong curiosity, childlike innocence, humorous person ...
