When the chief creator gave a thank-you speech, he especially missed and paid tribute to basketball player Kobe Bryant.
"Hair Love" is produced by Sony Pictures Animaiton and directed by Matthew A. Cherry. The film revolves around the relationship between an African-American father, daughter and her hair. The father had to help her daughter Zuri make her hair instead of her mother. This seemingly simple task is by no means easy, because these hairs have their own ideas!
It is reported that this animated short film was inspired by a video that the director saw on the Internet. The short film was created in 2017 and set a Kickstarter crowdfunding record, raising nearly 300,000 US dollars from 5,000 supporters. Speaking of African-American fathers helping their daughters comb difficult hair, the starting point of the director's short film is to hope that people will take care of naturally growing hair .
In the film, from the daughter and dad worrying about tying their hair , to the father and daughter overcoming the dilemma of tying their hair because of the mother’s video , the last three members of the family go hand in hand because of the power of "hair" , and the moving scene of embracing each other is insinuating. There are many "philosophies of life " in life : difficulties are like mountains in the heart, but love and hope are the silent inspirational labels for moisturizing things . In this paper, a three fight and encourage adversity , interpretation of love and hope, confidence and courage is the dawn of adversity.
01 "Tie the hair" once, triggering an emotional crisis between father and daughter
At the beginning of the film, what is printed in front of you are the portraits of different hairstyles on the wall. There are paintings of a family of three, as well as the hairstyles of the mothers in different periods. Among them, a " double expression" drawing paper with a crown is placed in the C position. On both sides of the face are sad and happy expressions, which also set the tone for the entire cartoon.
A kitten wakes up the sleeping little girl Zuri, indicating that the little girl's mother is not by her side and paves the way for the film.
Zuri saw the "love" travel notes on the calendar, she got up, put on clothes and shoes, sat on the dressing table and picked out the haircut of her mother in vlog. She looked at her mother's smiling and confident haircut, remembering that her mother used to be The scene of helping her tie her hair.
Mom said, it only took a little effort, and there is still a lot of love.
The little girl also tried to learn the hair tie skills in vlog, but failed. At this time, Dad came in and carried his daughter to mom’s dressing table. Dad found it troublesome and gave his daughter a hat, but the daughter refused. Dad tried very hard to tie his daughter’s hair. In the end, he didn’t tie her hair. Picking up a red hat and putting it on her daughter's head, the daughter shed sad tears.
Psychologist Piaget once said: Children can only see the world from themselves.
The daughter felt that her father was not careful enough to help her tie her hair, so she went back to the room sadly and closed the door.
In the variety show "Where is Dad?", Wang Yuelun is a man who is stumped by his hair. He wants to help his daughter who has just woke up in the show, but he can't fix it no matter what. Wang Yuelun seems to be in this regard. Inexperienced, sweating profusely, and finally had to ask the assistant beside him for help.
In real life, mothers are basically the ones who tie their daughters’ hair, which also implies the important position of the little girl’s mother in this family, because the mother is not around and can only be done by the father, but there are a few men who will tie the girls well. Long hair, this is also the source of the estrangement between the father and daughter in the film, "tying the hair."
The famous psychologist Rogers said: "Love is deep understanding and acceptance."
Dad looked at his daughter's sad back and let out a miserable "Hey" .
Perhaps, this is also the helplessness of being a father. The father has tried very hard and was ignored by his daughter. In fact, every father hopes that his love for his children can be seen and understood by his children, so the father shows a deep feeling. The expression, the taste of which is cold and warm.
Father and daughter live together. Without mother’s participation, there will be many gaps in life, ranging from tying hair to the daily life of a little girl , but life is a mirror that not only reflects the most lacking aspect of us, It also reflects that we need to do our best to play our respective roles.
02 Love in a difficult situation is the motivation to encourage the family to move forward, and self-confidence is a weapon to face difficulties.
Dad tried to tie his daughter’s hair, but saw the "demon" in the dark hair. Dad struggled with the "demon" and was finally enveloped by the devil. In fact, this was the image in his mind .
The devil symbolizes the difficulties in front of me. My lover is sick and hospitalized. I can’t tie my daughter’s hair. I can’t take care of my daughter’s daily life. I also make my daughter cry. I think any man will feel exhausted, just like Decadent when defeated in the fight against the devil.
The daughter returned to the room sadly. Dad chased him but couldn't knock on the door of his daughter's room. Dad had no choice but to sit in front of the door. At this time, he heard that the daughter was putting mom's vlog in the room.
Mom said in the video: "Did you see it? Isn’t it simple? It only takes some confidence and takes the first step. Even if I’m not around, I’ll guide you through it. Remember, the one ahead The road may seem rugged, but you can finish this journey with a little effort and full of love.
The daughter opened the door and watched the daughter holding the video of her mother performing with herself and the innocent look in her eyes. At this moment, tears flashed in the father's eyes. He bent down and pinched his daughter's small face and smiled. She picked up her daughter and started learning vlog to help her tie her favorite hairstyle.
Following the mom’s sentence in the video, I know you can do it. Father successfully learned to tie her hair . His daughter happily jumped into his father’s arms. Father also arranged his clothes in the mirror, showing a long-lost smile . The two women happily walked out of the house to visit their sick mother.
Smiles once said that difficulties arise from efforts to overcome difficulties.
Although the sick wife is not with her father and daughter, she uses a video to encourage the father and daughter in trouble. This is an encouragement of love. The father and daughter not only overcome the predicament of tying their hair, but also alleviate the relationship between the father and daughter. The gap between.
Romain Rowland once said: "Love is the flame of life, without it, everything becomes night."
Deeply agree. The wife's vlog inspired the father and daughter to move forward, and taught them how to bravely face the difficulties in front of them. Even if the road ahead is more rugged, as long as you have more confidence, no obstacle can resist the "hills" you want to overcome.
In life, we are often like the father in the film, facing a task that has never been touched before, but in fact, any difficulty has its own reason, or teaches us how to face ourselves, or Teach us how to live a strong life. The immediate difficulties are only temporary. As long as you take a step forward bravely and confidently, that is the beginning of success.
03 "Crown" represents hope: brave to face up to the imperfect self, hope is the dawn in adversity
The father and daughter were about to go out, but the daughter turned around and ran to the room to tear off a picture from the wall.
In the hospital, my mother shaved her hair, and was sitting in a wheelchair wearing a hat and looking at her "hairstyle" in the mirror in front of the window . With the sound of the daughter pushing the door, the mother immediately showed a bright smile . The expressions in front and back formed a sharp contrast, and indirectly indicated the change of the "double expression" drawing paper.
The mother patted her daughter's beautiful haircut, while the daughter pointed at her father. The mother smiled and made an excellent gesture to her father. The warm scene of a family of three deeply touched the audience in front of the screen.
The daughter took out the "double-emoji" drawing paper she drew with the crown . One of the sad expressions was deepened by the daughter with a paintbrush. The sad expression is no longer visible, only a happy expression is left.
This "single expression" drawing paper is in sharp contrast with the "dual expression" drawing paper at the beginning of the film. It indicates that their family will no longer have sadness, but will always be happy and happy, and the crown in the drawing paper has always been It's all there, which means that the little girl's love for her mother will never change. Even if her mother does not have hair, her mother is still the "queen" in her daughter's heart.
Mother looked at her daughter's drawing paper and took off her hat calmly. The shaved mother showed a happy smile.
The daughter stretched out her hand to caress the bald mother, implying that the daughter was full of expectation for her mother's future. The mother warmly embraced the daughter, and the husband came to hug the mother and daughter. The daughter happily looked at her parents. The family of three They embraced each other happily.
Finally, the father took the luggage and pushed the mother and the family of three out of the room. At the door of the room, the father and daughter gave high fives.
Mr. Hu Shi once said: "Life has no meaning. If you can give him any meaning, he will have no meaning.
Behind this applause, because of the encouragement of the mother, the father and daughter can confidently get out of the predicament and successfully reconcile; also because of the daughter's "crown" drawing paper, the mother began to face herself, take off her hat bravely, and face with a smile. Life.
As the line in the American TV series "This is us" said: "You have to learn how to bestow your life with your most sour lemon, and make a glass of sweet lemon juice.
My mother's hair is no longer, but she still looks up at the light of life, because the love between relatives can make up for any shortcomings in the body. The family of three places deeper expectations for the future of life. Only hope is the dawn of adversity.
04 written at the end
The reason why the micro-film "Fazhilian" was able to defeat many outstanding works and won the best animated short film of this year's Oscar must have its unique artistic value.
"Fa Zhi Lian" not only has a novel perspective, but also a prominent idea. The plain story contains a lot of human philosophy. Love and hope, confidence and courage are the dawn of growth in adversity, and perhaps this is the eternal topic of the human world. .
American historian Cavite Robert once put forward such a law: "Life can be without a lot of things, but it can only be without hope and faith. No one fails because of falling, unless they have been falling or being negative."
At the end of the film, with the ending song, the family stayed happily together, taking care of each other’s hair, and the mother’s hair gradually grew out, indicating that the mother’s condition was improving, and the family was not defeated by difficulties and illnesses, and survived. The life everyone wants.
"The Love of Hair" can be said to be an inspirational micro-film. It takes the common thing in life-hair as the introduction, and shows the power and connotation of human nature with a small plot design. Perhaps this is how it defeated four of the excellent works. The reason for it.
Yuval Harari said in "A Brief History of the Future", "There is only one mountain to conquer in life, try to experience all the feelings of being a human being".
May you and me in the rest of my life, no matter how big the difficulties and encounters are in front of you, please remember to look up at the stars, take the first step bravely, experience the ups and downs of life, and penetrate the essence of life.
Just like the ending song "Happy Days" of "Fazhi Lian", "It will be okay, because everything is ready, happy time, happy life, this is life, live with your heart, ten miles high, A foot away, you can still reach the end to taste the fruits of victory."
Encourage with you!
