——Single review of "The Eiffel Tower"
It's a five-minute short, and it's similar to other microfilms -- unique in its creativity, well-thought-out story framework, and distinct characters. And it didn't take a long time to tell a story that was funny and bizarre, but also romantic. Using this story to convey to us the deeper meaning that the director wanted to convey. The story takes place in romantic Paris. There are several big perspectives in the opening chapter - high-rise buildings like clouds, majestic religious buildings... All of them convey to us the grandeur of this city, especially the soaring Eiffel Tower that has appeared many times. Telling us that everything looks so small in front of it already hints how insignificant the identity of the protagonist living under the Eiffel Tower is. The protagonist of the story especially reflects the ingenious idea of the director. The protagonist is a pantomime clown, so he is speechless throughout the whole process, but he shows us his comicality through his exaggerated actions, and thus is skillfully constructed such a clear image - he is a small person: Against such a splendid Eiffel Tower, against such a luxurious and beautiful city, where he lived was very small, and he was very small; he was a lonely man: as his son said, he had no one to accompany him His people, and even he has courted others many times and imitated their behaviors, but all of them have been excluded; he is an optimistic person: he has a signature movement of palms brushing across his face, which seems to Like magic, his sad face was instantly healed. It's just such a clown who uses things that don't seem to exist, or that "we" can't see it. The clown presents invisible flowers, drives invisible cars, drinks invisible drinks, spends invisible money... These seemingly absurd behaviors show that the clown must be incompatible with others. ending. Under the director's intentional metaphor, the clown leaves the house in three clips. Under the cover of tall buildings on both sides, there is a narrow door - this is the clown's home! It announces to us that the clown is out of tune with the city. There is also the clown son who is carrying a large schoolbag that is disproportionate to his body, and seems to be telling us about the greater burden this family bears. But this romantic and shy France; the "flower capital" Paris, which integrates tradition in modernity, but is elegant and beautiful; and the Eiffel Tower, which has long transcended the body of steel, and shows people with a charming and serene feeling—— How can such a lonely soul be allowed. The clown works so hard, even if the front door is written "stupid", even if the flowers he offers are ignored, even if he tries his best to imitate others, he can't win a trace of goodwill, even if people like thieves don't want to be with him! The clown pursued like this, and he himself did not expect that he could find such a resonating soul in this dilapidated prison. He and she met and fell in love with her like this, and they drove on this romantic street... What the director wanted to convey was definitely a kind of romance, and even people who were out of tune with ordinary people could find a soul similar to him. When the two pantomime clowns fell in love, it seemed that the Eiffel Tower in the night was also blessing them, and the cats and cars that did not exist also showed their forms. Perhaps these are not illusions, but the "reality" between them. We all have a "clown" in our hearts, he is the original heart that we have suppressed, it is better to release it and bravely pursue our own, real soul mate!
