A seemingly simple crayon animation, simple and clear flute melody, about the simple happiness and helplessness of the boy's life, has won the highest honor in the animation industry-the first prize of the French Annecy Animation Film Festival. With a childlike innocence, the director shows you unlimited happiness. Also with a sense of loss, looking for the original spiritual home in a modern city. This issue of Ryefield Cinema will take you to enjoy "Boys and the World". Childlike Homeland begins in a kaleidoscope of crayon drawings, and a boy with only simple lines and limbs appears in the middle of the picture. The flowers, grass, cattle and sheep immersed in the countryside, jumping between the blue sky and green space, the gorgeous colors become more and more complicated. The colorful Brazilian jungle, the progressive flute sound and the melodious string music, play the simple joy of the boy. There was a sudden silence. After the boy's parents had a deep conversation, his father played a flute for the boy, and he was taken far away by the train. The boy's world was turned upside down. Under the colorful sky of his childhood, every man he saw was his father's appearance, and every flute sound he heard was his father's voice. The thoughts of my father are the notes in the air, the singing of the mother buried in the ground, the mood of the boy spinning around the world, and the endless watch of the mother at the dusk of the platform. The director completely uses the perspective of children, the imagination of Tianma and the stars, and the thoughts in his heart become brilliant reality. Pursuing and Losing Finally, on a rainy night, following his father’s appearance, the boy took a family portrait, among the rapidly changing lines, in a nightmare atmosphere, the boy left the country and came to a new world. The world that the boy sees is always the child’s perspective. Whether it is cloud-like soft cotton, sometimes with the sound of joyous flutes, and a factory symbolized as a regular square array, it is the blossom of the child's innocence. Like the sound of father's flute, music is the boy's spiritual home. Every time the band parade, the boy will fly a colorful phoenix in his heart. What the boy’s innocent eyes see is not just a world of colors and lines, but also the reality of the adult world. Starting from the first grandfather who was fired, the boy was drawn into the city's river, bumping away in the red dust. The boy walked from the country to the raw material production factory, into the textile factory, and to the sales center of the big city. The industry has progressed layer by layer, but the color tone has been dimmed layer by layer. The dark colors of the military band symbolized by industrialization and the chaotic urban life landscape made the boy panic. For the first time, like an adult, the boy showed a sad expression. Unlike the splendor of the country, the city is full of symbols of consumption, and the boy is forced to get lost at the bottom of the pyramid. It was the flute of the people at the bottom that once again saved the boy’s loss. The kaleidoscope of buskers took the boy to see the full picture of the city, but the bizarre world made him miss his hometown even more. A family of three in the village. The director insisted on drawing up the modernization of the countryside, so he used a container to pull the boy across the dock. In the midst of another upheaval, the handicrafts became full of electronics. Boys have come to larger cities, and the world of consumption has become more complicated. The music in boys’ hearts can only be reveled on the fringes of cities. The hand-made textile factory was replaced by black machinery. In the cheers of the capitalists, the workers were forced to lose their jobs and returned to the countryside to collect raw materials. The director used a boy's vision to outline the road to modernization. In the boy's eyes, the cities were lonely and depressed like a pyramid, and only the music of the simple people lit up the colors of the city, like a colorful breeze. However, in the end, this Caifeng was no match for the industrialized cannon. In the wailing, it faltered, and the last trace of the boy's sustenance in the city became a piece of debris. Homeland·The world of reincarnation is left with endless refugees, endless mechanical demons devouring trees, and the smoke from factories completely burnt the colorful dreams. A realistic video was added, steel and concrete attacked the city frantically, leaving the city with only helpless wailing. The political metaphor of the film is obvious. The rapid development of industrialization has brought people the destruction of their homes, and the classy cities have brought people assimilation and depression. The tragedy, however, is that people in the countryside have nowhere to go except the city. This is true not just for Brazil, but for all capitalist modernization processes. And ordinary people, the happiness that a pure innocence can bring, will eventually be lost in the bumps of the city. In order to survive, embarking on a train leaving home and stepping into this tumbling river, it is hard to look back at my homeland. The boy returned to the original tree. He became a father and returned to his gray-haired mother. Seeing the seeds hidden in my heart grow into a tree, I have to leave my hometown and get on Dad’s train. As an adult, I take the road to earn a living in the city. The last trace of the boy's sustenance in the city became a piece of land.
