The first film review I tried to write has many deficiencies, and I hope to exchange and correct it.
"I Lost My Body" is the fourth animation work by director Jeremy Clapan, based on the novel "Happy Hand" by writer Guillaume Laurent.
There are a lot of voices in the film, and he is the link that connects the three story lines. Sound is deadly sweet and captivating, and it can be empowering. Lauufiel's childhood memories are the sound of his mother's piano, the various subtle and chaotic sounds in his ears transmitted through the tape recorder, the sound of the globe turning, the rustling of insects in the grass, the car driving on the road The sound of the wind whistling past is also the sound of the crash of a car accident and the sound of broken dreams. He put these sounds in cassettes and boxes, and rode a tram through the crowded, alienated streets of France. Because Gabriel, a resident from the 35th floor, gave Lowufel's long-lost care through a microphone. On a rainy day, Lowufel decided to find this girl, go to a place where you can only see the horizon, and build an ice sheet for her Room.
When his hope was lost, Lawufel came home and was cutting wood, and encountered the fly again, this time at the place where the fly would go next, and caught him with his hands while the fly was rubbing his feet. , but at the same time the hand that caught the fly approached the cutter, ripped open the watch on the wrist, and left Lauufiel's body. So this hand embarked on a journey to find Lauufiel, he ran towards the hanger, escaped the chase of mice in the dark subway track, sat in front of the piano listening to the blind play the piano and imagined the scene of becoming a pianist, holding the The baby's little hand fell asleep, and finally, on the side of the flowing road, towards the guidance of the astronauts, using the wind, holding up an umbrella, jumping down, the headlights turned into stars in the universe, spinning, colliding, and finally flying to the distance. Hanger, Lo Wufer found.
The film's use of the hand as the main point of view to present the story is ingenious. The hand is the part of the human body that touches the most things and has the strongest perception ability. He touches the tentacles of the snail, feels the sand slipping from the fingers, the touch with the piano keys, and the friction with the ground, replacing the body, the eyes, and the legs. , running, standing on the wall painted with the words "I am here" by people dressed as crows, looking at the hangers illuminated by the sunset in the distance. In fact, the hand at this time is not just a part of Lawfulfield, because he can feel so many things in the world through his fingertips. He is endowed with life and perception, and he has become the first of Lawfulfield. The second adventure, the phrase "I am here" may be what this hand wanted to say at that moment.
The story of Lauufiel is not over yet, he climbed to the roof the night before the snow, picked up the radio that recorded his childhood voice, when the piano, the mother's voice, the rustling of the grass began to play in the air It sounded, and when the whistling sound of the car before the accident appeared, Lauufel pressed the record button, he swayed the microphone under the roof, he ran wildly on a wooden board, jumped to the opposite hanger, and then shouted, Watching the snowflakes fall, asking for more happiness, the sound recorded on the tape was replaced. In this way, Lawufel changed his destiny to be recorded in the form of sound.
And the metaphors about the fly, about the hand, become clear in the exposition of the story of Lauufiel. At the beginning of the film Lauufiel asks his father how to catch the fly, and he says you need to shoot next to him, watch where he's going next, and catch him there.
Lauufiel asked Gabriel on the balcony, do you believe in fate, the kind of fate that cannot be changed according to the established trajectory. He thinks it's an illusion, and that the spell can be unraveled as long as we do unreasonable things. For example, when walking, you were going to move forward. At this time, you made a fake like dribbling the ball, changed your route, jumped on the crane suddenly, and then tried to stay away from him, running all the way, seeking happiness.
If we want to catch a fly, we need to take advantage of it and catch it in a different direction; we need to change the existing trajectory set by fate, in order not to let the hand of fate find out where you will go next, and then put it there. When you get caught, you need to do something unreasonable, unconventional, give a fake, confuse it, and finally escape from it and start over. The flies that appear repeatedly in the film are fate, those seemingly uncontrollable, uncontrollable, and inescapable destinies, and the hand that seized the fate left Lauferfel, and Lauferfel began to face up to his gloomy and depressing life, He has also become the lost hand, by surprise, breaking the rules and trying to change destiny.
In addition to the fascinating story told in the film itself and the motifs about fate and love contained behind it, his skills in telling the story and the switching of scenes are smooth and free, and the feelings conveyed and released are not caused by multiple lines. The switch became stiff and abrupt, but instead it was a wave of boosting layer by layer. Color reality and black and white memories are interspersed and transformed from the perspective of one hand. The setting of the plot is not for the sake of pushing, but the presentation of a certain detail exists precisely for the development of the next plot. This ingenious advancement makes the whole story compact and delicate. For example, during the first conversation between Lou Wufei and Gabriel, Lou Wufei asked Gabriel to live on the 35th floor and see what the world looks like on a rainy day. Gabriel said that he could only hear the wind. And the sound of rain and the endless horizon, like hiding in an igloo, the whole world is drunk. This conversation also paved the way for Lauufiel to build an igloo.
A brutally straightforward story full of hope and stagnation when everything is silent because of its poetic expression. Just like at the end of the story, under the hint of her hand, Gabriel came to the snow-covered rooftop, which stretches as far as the eye can see. The lonely igloo is the North Pole built for her by Lauufiel. This is in the snow. Brier sees Lauufiel's second fate through the tape recorder.
