Such a short film, when one sinks in and really tries to understand it, has actually foreshadowed the inevitable result of being conquered by it. As expected, the first time, I took a rough look, the second time, I was intoxicated by the music, the third time, I was attracted by the plot, the fourth time, I started to pay attention to the details, the fifth time, Mr Hublot, I fell close to you .
I know early steam era of the Industrial revolution, also known punk non-mainstream artistic and ideological emancipation, however, Steampunk What the hell is? Du Niang told me that the worldview of the science fiction theme of steampunk is the coexistence of the backward and the advanced, the coexistence of magic and science, and the spiritual pursuit of the ideal of utopia.
In this alternate steampunk world, Mr. Halllock lived in small but tidy rooms with mottled old wall clocks on the walls and old mechanical typewriters on the tables. Outside the balcony, there are buses flying in the air, people flying with briefcases with propellers above their heads, pipes and ropes all over the air, and chimneys breathing white smoke. This is an era where technology and ancient coexist.
The semi-mechanized obsessive-compulsive patient, Mr. Harlock, repeats the cycle day after day, eating breakfast at a fixed point in the early days -> aligning the neat picture frame on the wall -> closing and opening the three mechanical flowers on the balcony over and over again -> the house A busy day at home...
Mr. Hublow, the second time I watched it, I noticed the counter on top of your head. The precise count represented your unmoved and unmoved mechanized life until the downstairs appeared that quilt. Abandoned mechanical puppy. Its cry, its mischievousness, its fear, its silly appearance when jumping and dodging the robot bees, attracts you unconsciously, and your counter begins to beat randomly, just like in a mechanized life, That warm beating heart that still exists. The counter represents your heart, right?
Between work, you heard the garbage truck coming, and saw that it was mercilessly devouring and cleaning the cardboard box where the dog lived. You were frightened and panicked. You rushed to the door, opened the door and locked it that had not been opened for a long time. The heavy iron door is like opening your heart. You go back and forth at the door for several rounds, and finally overcome your obsessive-compulsive disorder and run downstairs.
Seeing the shadow of the garbage truck going away, you lowered your head and stood motionless... The dog suddenly appeared from the camera, walked to you silently, and stopped. You inadvertently turned your head, followed by surprise and joy, even if there was no dialogue, the people in front of the screen felt it all.
Since then, half of the short film has passed, and the next moment, the soul-like light music sounded, "I fell close to your ...... I want you to be a part of me ...... I can feel your heartbeat. ......" The haze swept away And empty, your life begins to be gentle, you make an automatic feeding machine for the dog, you watch TV with the dog, play together, the dog depends on you, just like relying on his god.
Day by day, eating dog food made of nuts and bolts, the dog grows bigger and bigger, until it can't squeeze in the door, until... One day you wake up in the middle of the night and you find that it has made a mess of your tidy home and the TV has fallen On the ground, the furniture is scattered all over the place, your counter is beating wildly, you turn around to get the electric drill, and walk towards the dog. The "9999" displayed on the counter seems to tell everyone something, and the huge dog curls up in fear. The lens is dark. .
The next morning, the short film took a big turn here. When the audience thought that the dog was handled by you, the camera turned to your new home, which was large and spacious. It turned out that you rented the big house opposite, you The counter beats gently, the huge mechanical dog jumps and appears behind you, the camera zooms out, and you play happily. Finish.
Obsessive-compulsive disorder, loneliness in mechanical life, longing for friends, yearning for warmth, and the courage to change oneself... The animated short film "The Witch's Broom", nominated for this year's Oscar, is also inseparable from the theme of friendship. Are you getting more indifferent? Such a theme will be appreciated and even more moving? In any case, Mr. Hublot, the truth is, I am indeed touched by you. In the mechanical life, you have never given up the softness hidden in your heart, the patience and gentleness under your cold exterior, your kindness and your perseverance, I fell close to you.
But in such a steampunk era, the mechanical dog will grow bigger and bigger. How will Mr. Hublow finally face the mechanical dog that he feeds with a machine? How long can this gentle flow of warmth support you, and can it give you the courage to break this era for dogs, Mr Hublot?
Wonderful creativity, meticulously crafted details, character and scene and plot design, smooth rhythm, camera processing, soul-like music, all are the reasons why this short film attracts me, Mr Hublot, give you a like !
