Watch this award-winning short film "Bear Story" (Chile), a story that can never be flatter, about the bear family separation. Even from the perspective of film techniques, there is no major conflict, and many netizens are a little disappointed by this result. If there is no conflict in a story, it is easy to guess the ending after seeing half of it, which also makes people less curious. The quiet statement of this short film made me curiously read a lot of comments, including IMDb's comments, and many said it was warm and touching, but I don't know if there are other meanings in it. At the bottom of a comment, there was this reply, to the effect: I haven't watched the director's interview, but I'm a Chilean and have experienced Pinochet, which is horrible. The Bear family may have experienced the same fate.
Maybe this is the answer.
Today, director Gabriel Osorio Vargas's Oscar acceptance speech was very emotional: "Thanks to my grandfather, who gave the idea to this film. We really hope that this kind of problem in the film will not happen again. We come from a small country called Chile, which It's Chile's first Oscar." The
present is about to become history, the next second. Today, when history can look back, animation uses its most beautiful shell to tell a true story. This may be the unique charm and power of animation.
I also hope that in the near future, someone will stand on the same stage and say, we come from a big country called China, and this is the first Oscar that China has won.
