The cartoon shows the real life and dreams of the little girl. In the dream, the little girl has her own unique love and hatred and beautiful wishes. The director completely shows the little girl in the dream through this combination of reality and dream. thinking.
In reality, the little girl can play happily and funny alone, which shows the strong and optimistic character of the little girl, and the curious and peculiar thinking of the little girl about the branches and the dry well, which are all reflected in the dream. The little girl is distressed by the busyness of her parents. As for the parents, as the embodiment of the Electra complex, the little girl is hostile to the mother, and the love for the father is reflected in the coercion of the father and the coercion of the mother to the father, so all hatred creates the ghost mother in the dream The biggest villain.
The first thought in the dream was caused mainly because the doll that looked like a little girl made the little girl think about the reason, and the parents' indifference made her distressed. Then, in the dream, the little girl made the doll for herself. A perfect world in his heart has satisfied some happy wishes, because the fresh little girl who just moved is still in a happy mood at this time.
Then came the second day of life. Meeting some people, the little boy's wish to enter the pink palace, and his thoughts about the disappearance of the little boy's grandmother's sister, all caused the appearance of the second dream. It can be seen from this that the little girl has some strange and beautiful wishes for the people she meets, there is hope that the little boy is not so chatty and cute and obedient, there is hope that the uncle's performance will be a complete success, and that the grandmother will become young And the desire for unity, there is hope. Of course, the biggest wish among them is the care of the parents and the wish to dress up the new home well.
The dream is not over yet, I woke up. Then, because of the unsatisfactory shopping for clothes, the little girl's mood was affected, and the words her mother said when she went out still moved the little girl. In the dream, the little girl could no longer face another girl, and she felt that she had this kind of thinking. The shame, and the shame of the kitten's mockery, and then the thought of the missing little girl, and the worry of the parents going out for a long time, combined into a third dream. Because the mood becomes bad, this makes the material in the dream have a huge change in color and good and evil. Regarding redemption, it reflects the little girl's inner desire to be recognized by her parents and the opposite sex. There are many details in this dream, many of which are the synthesis of the little girl's memories in reality, such as wit, bravery, fear, liking, and many others, all of which show the little girl's feelings towards the world and her parents. He has his own unique understanding and thinking about neighbors and people of the opposite sex.
Through the comparison of these realities and dreams, it will be found that the little girl grows up slowly through thinking about her environment and faces the world more beautifully.
The world in the dream is not a kind of thinking. When I was a child, I was even more fascinated by this peculiar way of thinking, and slowly grew up through these. Knowing more, you can also think more, see the world more clearly, not a lot of confusion, but also lost a lot of color. Is this necessary for growth, or is it necessary for society? Are we pursuing a dreamlike beauty or a clear reality? This is probably a problem that cannot be solved in a lifetime, right?
