I love balloons, all colors, and as soon as you let go, they playfully go up into the sky, throbbing, flying, and banging at the top.
Balloons always have many positive meanings, innocence, hope, and dreams. We have seen a lot from "up", "red balloon", and "white balloon". The flamboyant colors fly recklessly in the sky, freeing you from the shackles of reality.
The balloon is black, and at the beginning of the movie, we see the bright pink balloon flying happily, and then the black balloon swaying hesitantly up into the sky. It's a nuanced analogy, and for all balloons, it's guiltless and reasonable to fly into the blue sky.
I went to see the playful Gemma, with her baby face, big smile, radiant figure and naughty voice. Then I saw Rhys' blond hair, provocative smile and tight brow.
When I watch the movie, I always do a substitute question. If I were Thomas, what would I do? Most of my parents' love was taken away by my autistic older brother. My older brother caused trouble and put himself in front of the girl he loved. Shame, my brother had an attack in public, my brother masturbated to his girl on his birthday and ruined his birthday....... I must not be as good as him, my answer must be to escape from this house, Leaving this burden, why can others enjoy their youth and happiness freely, but I have to be dragged down again and again by my brain-dead brother. Thomas's first answer was hope, hoping that one day my brother would be normal, and after finding that this answer was fundamentally wrong, his answer was acceptance.
There is no doubt that Thomas loved his brother from the beginning, but his childishness took over more emotionally. He understands his brother's pain - his world is fuzzy, and everything he hears, sees, and speaks is hazy; he is willing to accompany his brother - and the girl he likes takes his brother to play, in the summer He enjoys a touch of happiness in peace; he protects his brother—not letting others bully him, touch him, do the monkey dance with him, and not let his brother down.
The film's climax is undoubtedly his own birthday party, where Thomas' love and responsibility for his brother and his dissatisfaction with his continuing obstacles to his life constitute a painful outburst for all. The cake shattered, the lamp shattered, the table shattered, Charlie's face shattered, the repressed peace that held the surface of the house shattered, Thomas' patience shattered, and then the normal fantasies that he had always longed for Charlie shattered... .. In the camera, the colorful balloons hang scattered on the table legs, just like the helplessness and sadness of youth sometimes caught off guard, they are shriveled and can't fly. After that, he walked barefooted to Jackie's house, snuggled up with Jackie who was also barefoot, and showed all his fragility, sadness and helplessness, and those repressed emotions were pulled out from the black hole in his heart. Then he went home tired, and saw his brother sign language through the glass, with an apologetic expression on his face.
There is no suspense, everything is getting better, he is no longer ashamed of his brother, he is used to all this, and he has matured through the baptism of his birthday. It wasn't the contrived monkey dance or the overly straightforward brothers bathing together that made me laugh happily, but the two of them, under the bright sunshine, beat the rhythm that made the neighbor aunt explode, pretending to be monkeys, the aunt finally The accompanying convulsions made me realize that her day of accepting the child was not far off.
Many people think that Charlie is a black balloon, and I think the black balloon represents the youth of the brothers, depressed, imprisoned, helpless, and even broken, but in any case, after the colorful balloons fly, the black balloons will also Take flight and soar freely in the beautiful pure blue skies of Australia.
