Before writing a film review, I happened to see a netizen calling the job of cleaning the moon for three generations of grandparents the happiest job in the world. I don't think this description could be more expressive. The first highlight of this short film for me is the sound. In the long-range picture, a boat is drifting on the quiet sea with a fishing lantern on. The background music played by the guitar fingerplay is leisurely and soft, giving people a peaceful and warm feeling. It also indirectly highlights the emotional tone of the film.
Secondly, unlike Bao Baobao's extensive use of close-ups and close-ups, Luna uses more panoramic and distant views to describe the picture. This kind of scene selection can fully reflect the environment and the main characters, and at the same time, it can expand the role of the environment, strengthen the emotional substitution of the audience, and better render the feeling of comfort and comfort.
Compared with the use of audio-visual, I think the point that is more worth mentioning is the detail processing and clue arrangement of the film. Less than a minute into the film, grandpa took out a hat and put it on the child's head, which not only symbolizes the child's true growth into a big boy who can take the same responsibility as his father and grandfather, but also serves as a clue throughout the film. the entire video. After that, the father and the grandfather caused a conflict about how to wear a hat for the child. This is the first point of contradiction in the whole film. Not only that, but the child also imitated the actions of grandfather and father holding hands, plucking ears and touching nose. These all imply that although the child has grown up, he still does not have his own opinions in his heart. Later, when the child looks back at his grandfather and father when he climbs the ladder, it is also a manifestation of his lack of self-confidence. After landing on the moon, the child touches the stars to light up, which also sets the stage for a later turning point at the climax of the story. The second conflict in the film comes when cleaning the moon selection tool. There is a very interesting picture here. The child uses the brush to compare the father's beard with the same shape as the brush, and uses the broom to compare the grandfather's beard with the same shape as the broom. This also implies that the tools that fathers and grandpas let their children choose are all chosen according to their own wishes. These may apply or even belong to them, but they never belong to the children. At the climax of the film, a close-up of a child turning the brim of his hat back, unlike anything his father and grandfather had hoped for, symbolizes his true growth as well as a metaphor for finding his true self. The way of living. It is also worth mentioning that the child's choice of tools, whether the hammer used for hitting the stars or the rake used for cleaning behind, has never been seen before, and these two tools also symbolize the truly unique ideas in the child's heart. Finally, the luminous stars are scattered freely and the stars are vertically smashed to the ground to contrast. This picture also symbolizes that the child's mind is free, beautiful, and full of highlights and radiance. At the end of the film, the birth of a new moon represents the real growth of the child, and from then on he begins his own life.
It has to be said that Pixar's handling of the details is really amazing. It finally made me realize that the happiest job in the world is not so much a mundane and secluded cleaner in untouched beauty as a great and transformative self-shaper in such an environment.
