There are almost no lines. Although some parts of the subtitles given by the subtitle group are not translated, this movie can hardly be understood without subtitles. In France at the end of World War II, there was a French magician Tatischeff who was forced to make a living. Because magic was no longer a fashionable thing at that time, everyone rushed to worship rock stars. So Tati had to perform everywhere. From the city to the small country town, he brought some simple props and a rabbit. At a bar in a small town in the UK, he met the little girl Alice. This innocent girl believes in magic. It is true that the master becomes magical, and he can conjure whatever she wants. The magician left this small town, and the girl secretly followed him to Edinburgh. In this very British city, everything is novel for girls. The gorgeous clothes, jewels, and modern girls make Alice envious. In Edinburgh, they live in the simplest hotel, and the magician makes a living on the meager income from performances. Alice wanted beautiful coats and shoes in the window. Tati had to do a lot of humble work after the show-working as a car wash worker in the middle of the night, drawing posters with the same down-and-out artists, and using merchandise as props in the mall Magic promotion promotion... It's so hard. He bought back the beautiful dress and transformed it to Alice by magic, and Alice always believed that it was the magic of the magician.
Life is difficult, but because the magician does not want to break the little girl's naive dream. The girl gradually became a slim woman, wearing an elegant dress, beautiful skirt and high heels. Until one day, he found that Alice was in love, so he left, leaving some money for the girl, and a note: Magic does not exist. When the girls left the hostel where they lived, the book on the dining table was constantly flipping under the blow of the wind, and the shadow on the wall was like a butterfly spreading its wings...but no matter how hard it spread its wings, it couldn't fly.
At the end of the film, there appeared the broken photo that made the magician feel sad every time he looked at it: a little baby girl. She has the same surname as the magician, so this is his daughter. The magician gave Alice all the love he could not complete for his daughter...
Magic transformed Alice’s noble white coat, transformed into a beautiful blue skirt, and a pair of elegant white high heels... Alice also changed from The girl becomes a woman, and a humble country boy becomes an elegant modern girl. When he walked down the street holding her transformed, his face was filled with happiness. Because of the little girl's fantasies, the down-and-out artist in the difficult environment did not sink into depression. When the girl found love, Tati later released the bunny and was alone on the train. Only the broken photo was with him. Helping Alice to transform into beauty may be the greatest magic of his life.
Father’s love is so deep and broad. Father always uses his broad palms to hold up a sky for his children. Father’s love is silent. If you feel it, then it’s not father’s love. "Big Fish", "Beautiful Life", "When Happiness Knocks on the Door"...every time I see these videos, there will be a lot of ripples in my heart. It has been almost five years since my father was gone. I remember that when I was young, he would buy me delicious foods after get off work, and he suddenly brought them in front of me. It seems that there will be a lot of delicious things. Every time the kindergarten is over, I always pester him to buy chocolate and ice cream in the nearby store, and he will always satisfy me. In fact, my dad didn't talk much and didn't express too much, he just wanted to look at me with a satisfied smile. If there is a kingdom of heaven, I think you are there... (I can’t write anymore, forgive me for crying again. After watching the film yesterday, I told my friends that I was touched, but I didn’t cry, did the crying point be lower... Actually …) The
topic continues to shift to the movie. The picture of Sylvain Chomet’s work is really beautiful. The background of 2D hand-painted animation and CG fusion makes the picture very gorgeous. I especially like a few empty shots, stations and trains running on the bridge, and reflections in the water. , Edinburgh in the Rain, etc. I have seen all three of his works, and this one is my favorite. Reality is cruel, dreams will always be broken by reality one day, and little girls will slowly understand all this. What is dream? That is the continuation of reality. What is reality? That's the end of dreams...Magic will end one day.
