I used a whole childhood of loneliness to meet the red balloon

First of all, the most prominent feature of this film is that a prop red balloon connects the whole film, which also gives people a lot of room for interpretation. Perhaps the charm of art is its ambiguity, and the balloon in this film is to accompany children. The childhood playmate of the growing person is the child's self-awareness, and finally becomes the child's unique soul.

As an only child, a lot of childhood was spent in self-entertainment. Loneliness gave everything a soul. When I was a child, I had small expectations in my heart. Later, I learned that these lonely observations and exchanges constitute the way I see the world. Angle and approach, maybe that's what resonates with me about the film. We grow up with red balloons in our arms, communicate with the outside world, and have our own choices and interests in life, but when we cannot protect the red balloons, our persistence and kindness can allow us to see a wider world, colorful balloons in the street window Gushing, this may be comfort, maybe it is the realization after suffering, in short, this movie is good because it can capture the different emotions that everyone has lost and gained when they grow up, and organize them together organically , forming a memory, reluctance but also hope.

There are few lines in this movie, but there is no dull and boring emotion. The running children and the warm red, the kind passers-by who can help him and the naughty children who hurt him along the way are like life experiences. The story is simple and moving.

    Beautiful to the point of softening the heart

    The story of this little boy and his balloon friend, who can fly and can't bark, made me realize once again that innocence is the most fragile and the most beautiful thing in the world. It is fragile, even a small stone can destroy everything in an instant; it is beautiful, even a lifeless balloon, together can help us overcome gravity. Compared with those bad boys who are chasing after the balloons, the little boy as the protagonist is actually selfish. He also regards the red balloon as his exclusive toy. Even in a critical moment, he is still reluctant to let go of the red balloon to make it safe. Leave. What makes him better than the other bad boys is that he doesn't throw stones at the balloons. But his problem was that the balloon was his friend, but he kept it as a pet in those moments of looming danger. Every balloon that cannot fly corresponds to a kind of possessiveness. In the end, the body of the red balloon on the ground, the little boy did not fly away with it, and did not even look at it again. Every viewer who regrets it will surely sting, and our hearts are like a hole being smashed by boys' stones.
