The music at the beginning is Chinese style, warm and cheerful
Close -up shot of kneading dough, rolling dough, wrapping buns, steaming buns
A panoramic view, from the photos on the background wall, it can be seen that it is a couple, but the son is not there. The husband hurriedly finished eating and went to work, leaving the wife alone, sighing alone, and continued to eat buns. The color tone is cool and dark.
The wife has a fleshy face, squinting eyes, and dark circles under her eyes to see that she is a gentle and capable mother who works for the family
When my mother saw that the steamed buns could move, she was first frightened to curiosity and then to surprise. She liked the process, and the warm and cheerful music sounded.
The stacking lens is used here , which reflects the process of Bao Baobao's growth.
Bao Bao gradually became interested in the outside world, and the music gradually changed from cheerful to more compact music
Bao Bao took his girlfriend home, the mother's expression changed from shock to loss, and the music became low and sad . Suddenly, the mother stepped forward to stop it, the music became tense and rapid, and the contradiction between the gestures reached its peak . When I knew that the mother had eaten the baby, the music stopped abruptly, and only the mother's cry was left, and the camera faded out of the black screen . .
The picture fades in, the mother is dreaming, a panoramic mother is sitting on the bed in a lost state, a figure in the shape of a bun appears in the light of the door frame, and the mother immediately looks at the door frame with a surprised look.
As soon as the camera turned, Bao Baobao's appearance gradually overlapped with his son . The son's shadow is still in the shape of a steamed bun, implying that Bao Bao Bao's story is the son's story . The mother pretended to be angry and lay down, and the father told the child to push into the room. The room was dark, but the pictures on the wall were family portraits. The child took the initiative to turn on the light, and the room was full of light. The child brought the two people's favorite food and reconciled together. Lens fades out.
The camera fades in, and another pair of hands are wrapping the buns, echoing the beginning, pulling the camera to the panorama . This time, a family of four sat in front of the table making buns. The panoramic picture was harmonious and stable, the colors were brighter and warmer than the beginning, and the cheerful music sounded again.
The whole short film is very Chinese style and Chinese-style family. Without the father's participation, the mother raises the baby alone. The child is the mother's everything, and the mother places all her emotions on the child. Because of this, when the child begins to rebel and wants to go out independently, the grief-stricken mother can't control her desire for control and love, and wants to talk about the child's retention (eat the baby in one bite, but her face is full of tears)
Parents' "selfish love" and control are certain emotions in a Chinese-style family. Although the ending of the short film is warm and happy, I think this short film still wants to express the problem of parents' morbid attachment to their children, pointing out that China is a family How to deal with emotional issues.
