      The Boy and the World: Familiar yet Unfamiliar

      When I was a child, it was also in the village. When I think about it again, it seems that it is not my own, but it is from a movie in a novel. It is both familiar and a little unfamiliar. Almost every house has a yard fence. In front of Hua Niang’s gate is a large area of ​​poplar trees. In the summer, when it’s especially cool, I go there to eat. There is an unnamed tree behind the village, and there is a bird's nest on the tree. Every time we pass there, we are afraid of...

      life is just so

      I saw this animation by chance. I didn't have any information about him before watching it. I thought it was a documentary, but I didn't expect it to be an animation, and I didn't know which language was spoken in it. As for who the director was, I don't even know how successful the film was. Because of this, I was really not disturbed at all, and I finished watching this animated film completely, and I was moved to tears.
      The storyline is simple, the picture lines are smooth, and the...

      Tell you a joke, smile and tears will fall.

      "The Boy and the World", after watching the dazed, simple lines, a character can be drawn in a few strokes. The whole cartoon in the childish style of crayons can make the small audience stunned for a long time after watching it. I also want to look again at the clues and metaphors that the director has left for you along the way, and how much has been left behind.

      The beginning is a point, like a kaleidoscope, colorful and varied, came to the boy's world. Some movie connoisseurs like...

      Time Games and Magical Reality

      The opening was originally thought to be small and fresh, but it was actually a time game and a magical reality in the name of finding the father.

      Stunning scenes: it rains from the station to the farm, the rickshaw goes from the hillside to the waves, the three doors and BGM of the first slum, follow the kaleidoscope to the scattered containers, the strange (LOGO) of urban clothing production. It's Armani), free people (power wandering in), the battle between colorful birds and...

      a little touch

      Parting is the clue that runs through the whole film, not only the parting of boys and all kinds of people, but also the parting from the old production methods and carefree childhood in the big environment, as well as the departure of green mountains and rivers, joy Free annihilation. The iron hoofs of the great era ruthlessly smashed the dream that was once stable, the bell under the eaves of the former residence calls you back in your dream, one day we will no longer be that child, one...

      The ingenious fusion of magical realism in watercolor animation, "The Boy and the World" presents a bizarre world from the perspective of a child. The profound and in-depth oppression of people, a simple animation, leaves the audience with infinite reverie and...

      Only in the end did I realize that the title was too faithful, except for the parents as images, there were only boys and the world, and nothing else. Kaleidoscope and Mirror. If I had a stomach, I was stunned by the big black bird. 17.12.2 @China Film...

      [Screening at the China Film Archive] Simple and magnificent, simple and profound. From the perspective of a young boy, starting from the family, it shows the haze of urbanization, industrialization, mechanization and war. It was not until the end of the film that I realized that the boy's life has been spent with a bang. Without dialogue or subtitles, you can feel the beauty of animation through moving pictures and music. The satire and critical intentions in the second half are too obvious,...

    Evaluation action

    The Brazilian animated film "El niño y el mundo" presents the world in the eyes of children. Characters in movies often face situations that are kept in the dark, and people who have watched the movie can have an omniscient perspective. This animated film sees the world from a child's perspective, and clearly values ​​childlike innocence and innocence. (Phoenix Review) 
    This is a cartoon about growth. While showing the bizarre...
