Oscar Nominated for Best Animated Short Film "The Bare Rod" _Field Librarywww.vmovier.com
The name Bare Rods is interesting! I've been sticking to this idea, translating the title as literally as possible...you know why?
Woman: You once said that many movie titles suggest themes...
After the title and subtitles, there is a poster of the street performer, ONE MAN BAND
We can see that these two are actually buskers. The so-called band is just that they have all kinds of guys on them, and they have all kinds of weapons...
Female: Of course, the performer is not a musician. Band is just a gimmick. Especially in the back, it shows the state of a clown. Compared with a little girl, it is too unprofessional...
Indeed, it is not easy for them. For a coin, they have used all the strength to suckle...
Woman: That coin The little girl was going to make a wish! The question is, what's the point of the "wish" plot ? can not read……
Let’s get to know the Wishing Pond, Western culture, how much should we know about it…
The Trevi Fountain is a symbol of strength. The Romans had a beautiful legend that by tossing a coin from over the shoulder to the pool with your back to the fountain, you will have the chance to visit Rome again. The wishing pool is also a symbol of love. Legend has it that when couples put coins into the pool together, love will last forever. The fact that many tourists line up by the fountain to toss coins in it is a testament to being fascinated by the city...
Woman: Oh, I see, so the little girl turned her back to the wishing pool at the end and threw the coin high into the pool on the top floor ... But what does this move indicate?
Also, why would someone send her a whole bag of gold coins, who sent it ? Moreover, what is the metaphor of the last picture?
We want to find a theme, and we must understand what the director wants to express, otherwise we will not be able to answer a single one of this series of questions!
Since this film emphasizes a one-person band, let's think, can these two clowns be called a band? Just because they have a hundred kinds of musical instruments hanging on them?
Don't forget, how much effort did two clowns go to for a coin? Dozens of people in whose band earn so much money, is it enough?
Woman: Really! A coin is not enough for two people, and it is not enough for a band!
So, neither clowns qualify as a band, but one does!
Woman: Is this the little girl?
That's right! The little girl's playing skills are obvious to all, and she can tune the violin with a strong posture. You said that the clown doesn't even know how to tune the violin. What good things can he play with ten violins?
The two clowns were fighting with each other's teeth and claws, and the children were so frightened that they lost their money...
Did you see that, the money rolled under the iron sieve, pay attention to the state of rolling, the metaphor could not be balanced, and the clone was incapable of skill , so he "threw himself into the river"...
You can't earn a single coin, isn't the clown poor? Can a band do this?
Woman: Then why do you think the little girl is the band ?
Not only the little girl is professional in playing the piano, but the key people make money as soon as they make a move! See, a bag of money is enough for a "dozen-member band", and this level is qualified to be called "ONE MAN BAND"
Did you find it? The bag of money weighed heavily on the begging jar...
Subtext: It's not a show, it's not begging... It's called playing!
Woman: Then who gave it?
It must be given by the audience! The key is that when you see this bag of coins, you have to associate a picture: one person, one coin, admission fee, the little girl, a "single band" performing on stage, and countless audiences have gathered below ...
Female: People are really capable, professional, this is called a band, and they make money when they do it!
Okay, let's look at it again. What does the wishing pool appear in the film to show ...?
Let's think about it, why is the little girl pulling so well? Why does the clown have so many instruments but not successful?
Female: Because the little girl is focused, professional, attentive...
Right! This is the difference! So if you can't make money, you bring a hundred guys, and the thing you play isn't called music, it's just noise, so you can't make money... The word " band " is not so easy to call it!
Think about it, can you make a wish with two people?
Woman: Ha, of course not! Wishing is all alone and silently and devoutly pouring out to heaven: we must focus and concentrate
These two things are related, right...?
As I just said, making a wish is a wish, and it also represents strength. It requires concentration and dedication. The little girl effectively proves her strength and professionalism . In the end, throwing a coin into the highest pool shows a kind of strength !
Where did this power come from? It is to make a wish, focus on doing one thing, and pursue better, higher, stronger!
The two clowns don't have this "vision" high, why? The platform and format are different!
Unprofessional, unfocused...doesn't do anything well!
The final outcome is: one is in the sky and the other is in the ground, and the judgment is made.
Female: Ha, I can't make any money with the level of amateur two knives... It's determined by the market, there's no way!
Making movies and writing movie reviews is also the same thing: not professional and unfocused, all rely on pretending to be foolish... It 's possible for one day, two days, ten years and a half years, there are too many fools... But it will definitely not grow longer!
Woman: That's right, without the real ability, Oscar's door can't even get in!
We often hear such news that several schools are fighting for students to snatch up students and insult the gentleman... This is not a group of ugly people, and it is not as good as beggars!
Woman: Ha, well scolded! But if you have some strength, can Bilian be able to do this?
No matter how bad the economy is, as intellectuals, we should not look too ugly. Even if you don't look in the mirror, why are you robbing students all of a sudden ? Disgraceful, isn't there a bit of the integrity of a literate person...? Forget it, I won't say more, anyway, these people don't understand if it's too deep!
Female: ... Haha, interesting! Don't even talk about the country, that's all there is to it, it's a mess!
Okay, let's talk about Pixar, DreamWorks and Disney ...
These animation companies are taking the lead in the United States. Who do you think is BAND and who are the two clowns? Who is Pixar scolding...?
Woman: Ha, do you mean, scolding Sang and scolding Huai...? ! By the way, when I think about it, Pixar has always claimed to be the most serious , the most focused, and the high-level structure in the animation industry .
That's right! We have interpreted most of these animations. Interested fans can take a look. From the first " Naughty Jumping and Jumping Lights " to "Bird Bird Bird", is Pixar constantly expressing something? Is it like the international judges " discussing " seal "...? !
Woman: It's really possible! In the movie market, we all know that animation is not easy to do, with high investment, low returns, and high risks... But I believe that none of the judges of the Annie Animation Award and the Oscars are blind...
right! As long as you really give, really understand art, engage in art , be down-to-earth, be serious... We will support you - Pixar!
