Unfinished love for a daughter is the greatest magic.
Films with almost no dialogue, like Chaplin's silent films, really don't need any translation. The plain is the truth, and it can be said without making a sound. Because love knows no borders, you and I both understand. The composition lines of the animation are simple and delicate, so detailed that as the audience, we can see the fine stitches and layers of folds on the suit, and the tone is warm and nostalgic, perhaps because of the repeated rain scenes that make people feel that this is a water-stained picture. past landscape paintings. The plump female singer singing French chansons, the little girl's red round-toed dancing shoes, the typical British telephone booth, and the melodious Scottish bagpipes. . . . . . The whole film is a postcard depicting Europe. The first half is the bustling and gorgeous Paris, and the second half is more about the rain in Edinburgh, Scotland, accompanied by a few seagulls flying over the sea, the grass with the fragrance of the early sunshine after the rain, and the trees falling from the streets. Yusi, it is all affectionate, it is the affectionate father has for his daughter.
Personally, I think the touchingness of the film lies not only in the sincerity of the handmade two-dimensional animation, but also in the emotion it conveys. After watching the movie, I thought of the words of Long Yingtai, "The so-called father-daughter-mother-son just means that your fate with him is that you are constantly watching his back go away in this life and this life, and you are standing on the path. On this end of the road, watch him disappear into the corner of the road, and, he tells you with his back: Don't chase." This brings to mind a scene in the movie where the magician meets a girl and a boy on the street. Walking with his hands, the magician put on his hat and hid in the cinema in a panic, staggering, wondering what he was trying to hide? In fact, I think every child who grows up knows that he doesn't want to embarrass the girl. Maybe it's just like when we are playing with our classmates and the parents in rustic clothes come, we may suddenly feel embarrassed, He neither wanted the girl to see his loneliness, nor did he want the girl to lose interest in relaxing and having fun. Don't bother, it's his tenderness. At the end of the film, the magician released the rabbit, the rain on the mountain was densely woven, and the camera was stretched to a high altitude, overlooking the city, and I heard the cold and damp wind. Bringing the luggage and leaving the note "There is no magic in the world", the magician stepped on the train alone, and in the rickety carriage, he "changed" a paintbrush to the child next to him. As soon as the camera turns, it is a girl and a boy holding umbrellas through the rain. The subtext should be Long Yingtai's sentence "You, don't chase."
Someone once said that all love in the world is for the purpose of gathering, but only parents Love for children is to keep away. The farther you fly away from the shelter of your parents, the more independent you are, the more you can prove the success of this love. The magician is not successful in magic, but his most successful magic is to let the girl grow up smoothly. Without his protection and magic, the girl can find a lover and live a good life. Girls can also transform from rustic and childish country girls to elegant and fashionable city girls. It is also the last clip. The wind blows outside the window, and the shadow of the English-French dictionary hitting the wall keeps changing and flying. That shadow, full of emotion, can break people's hearts, like a butterfly flapping its wings and flying, is this the meaning of hope? The girl is Scottish, and the old magician doesn't understand English. At that moment, did you hear that there is no obstacle to their communication, because there is love.
When everyone was a child, maybe their parents made a gorgeous magic trick for you, made new clothes, made your favorite toys, they said, everything can be given to you except the stars in the sky. They are lonely magicians, because the audience will always be only us. When we grow up, we find that they are more and more inferior to others. They can neither make a smooth future road nor make a smooth long road ahead, we will gradually Go further away. We will no longer be by their side, and they will lose their audience. I remember when I was a kid, my dad would bring me a lot of hairpins every time he traveled to different places because I really like hair clips. I thought it was amazing at the time, but now I think how much time did he spend buying those gadgets for me? I also remember that the father of one of my classmates would "confess" to her after drinking, telling her how much he loved her daughter. However, what we think may be more hypocritical and indifferent. Until now, so far away from my parents, on the other end of the phone, my father may only repeat 3 sentences. "Have you eaten yet?" "What are you doing?" "Is there enough money?" Parents are like this, they will send you a text message on the May 4th Youth Day, saying that you want to be a good youth of the times, and we But you may not remember that this Sunday is Mother's Day. I want to say that before your parents disappear like magic, you have to love them properly.
The magician did not point out the fact that there was no magic in the world at first. I think he was trying to keep a girl's dream, just like the pair of thieves in "A World Without Thieves" who did not want to let the innocent fool know about this society. Like the dark side, he has always protected him, making him believe that there are no thieves in the world. The same is true of magicians, making girls believe that there are surprises and beauty in the world. I watched a Japanese drama before, and there was a line in it that said, "As long as there is one person in the world who believes, then vampires exist; it is not because they are true that they believe, but because they believe they become true; when there is no one Vampires may disappear from the world when people believe." The real thing is not known to everyone, so we just have to choose which side I want to believe. The day no one believes in magic, magic will really disappear. When we can still believe in fairy tales, it shows that we are still young and full of hope for everything. Think about how lost the girl will be when she finally realizes that there is no magic in the world. Fortunately, when she knew, the magician had made her grow up perfectly. The same is true of magic in real life. We know it is fake, but we are still willing to see it, because the meaning of magic lies in trust and understanding.
In the end, all the lights in the surrounding area gradually went out, and frame by frame, the color changed back to black and white, echoing the transition from black and white to color at the beginning of the film. A lame puppy, a ventriloquist begging, a doll that no one wants to write FREE. . . . . . The struggle and warmth of the people in the market seem so sad and unpredictable in the old-fashioned tones and desolate atmosphere.
"In the face of Hollywood's powerful technology, the animation practitioners here are like manual laborers, turning into entertainers in movies, performing some unprofessional shows. Magicians, clowns and ventriloquists, they belong to those who are about to be attacked. A group of people who have been eliminated. But you need to know that Pixar can create myths every year, however, the performance of "The Magician" is the only one." This is the most touching comment I have seen, because life is nothing It's not like this, the ruthlessness and the whispers of the years will change our favorite and our favorite away when we have no time to look back. Just like the magic that our parents made for us, this is the only one.
Please believe and love when you can still cherish it.
There is no magic that cannot be dismantled in the world, only unbearable love.
