Pure feelings always make people warm

The movie "Aet and Senna" is a French animated film, one of several nominated works for this year's (2014) Oscar for Best Animated Feature. This cartoon is not long, only more than 70 minutes, but the touch it brings will not be discounted because the length is too short, it can indeed bring warm touch to its audience. Its warm hand-painted style, fairytale-like plot, beautiful music and warm colors made me almost smile when I read the whole story.

I remember that the first time I came into contact with French works was when I was in high school. At that time, our group was on duty after school, so my classmate "Queen" in the front seat connected her mp3 to the speakers in the classroom and shared it with us. the songs she likes. Most of what she likes is some light music, piano music, ensemble music, in short, some pure music without lyrics. At that time, there were only a few of us in the classroom. It should be like the setting sun outside the window. The dust raised by the whole classroom because of being cleaned happily absorbed the sunlight extending from the outside into our own body, so that the whole classroom was immersed in a lazy warmth. In the red, and the horn blew out a nice female voice after a piano piece:
"Hélène
Je m'appelle Hélène
Je suis une fille
Comme les autres"
I don't know which language this is, I just feel the pronunciation It was so good, so I asked classmate "Queen" what the song was called. She said it was called "My name is Irina". It was a classic French song, and she liked it very much. Maybe it's the beauty of that evening, I always have a different love for this song, and I have an inexplicable fondness for French ever since.

Apart from this French song, I have very few French works, so I can't definitively characterize French works, but in my personal impression, French works are always soothing, gentle and warm with some artistic flavor. And this "The Bear and the Senna" has deepened my impression. The world in this work is divided into two parts, the part above ground belongs to the bear, and the part underground belongs to the mouse, these two races are opposed to each other and hate each other. As the protagonists, Aite Bear and Senna Mouse are different. They ignore public opinion and help each other and depend on each other. They are willing to live with each other all the time, because the understanding they can't get from their respective societies can easily get from each other. And they all have artistic cells. The cute bear Aite likes music and the loli mouse Senna likes to draw. In the cartoon, the scene where the bear plays the piano and the mouse draws is really beautiful.

There should be political hints in the cartoon, but I'm sorry, but I don't want to know about it. I haven't taken a language class for too long, and I have forgotten how to correctly answer the "central theme of this article" like a standard answer. I just want to see it as a fairy tale about the relationship between a cute bear and a loli mouse, because I find that I haven't seen a fairy tale for a long time, or it's hard for me to be the same now as I used to be Really step into a fairy tale world. This is a rare work for me, it reminds me of Peter Pan, Andersen's princess, Grimm's queen, and the candy house in the forest, so I don't want it to be stained with dirty Anything about politics.

And there is no doubt that the relationship between Aite and Senna is pure and beautiful, which can make people bend the corners of their mouths unconsciously. But what kind of feeling is this? I watched this animation on station B, and some of those lost at station B were seriously worried about reproductive isolation. They think there is love between Art and Senna. At the same time, some people in the barrage said that the relationship between Uncle Xiong and Lolita could not be love, it was the relationship between father and daughter. Although it is true that when Senna is afraid, Art will give her the warmest comfort and guide her to draw, but sometimes Art is confused and has nightmares. Senna will also give Art to caring very strongly. So I don't feel like it's not love, not father and daughter, but a more general emotion, it shouldn't be stuck in a specific form, it's like love, like father-daughter, like sister-in-law, because It should be the pure emotion after these beautiful emotions have been removed from the traits.

It is precisely because of its purity that this feeling is extraordinarily warm.
