love-hate buns

As the best animated film at the 91st Oscars, "Baby Bao" brings me exquisite feeling, and it is amazing to look at it carefully. In the case of 8 minutes without dialogue, more than 8 minutes of content were told. The first thing that must be mentioned is the sound. The director's handling of the sound part amazes me. The brisk music runs through the whole film and stops twice. The first time is when the husband and wife are eating buns, and there is no need for music to set off the narrative. The second time is when the hostess sheds sadness and tears after eating the buns. There is no music to express sadness. The music went up and down many times, the most special two times were when Bao Bao Bao came back with his beloved wife, the hostess and Bao Bao's wife were sitting on the sofa together, the music gradually stopped, and the next scene Bao Bao was carrying luggage and the music appeared. Sad, tender. There is a seamless connection between two different styles of music. The silent time is only 1 or 2 seconds, but it is significant and meaningful. Another time, when Bao Baobao and his wife were leaving, the hostess chased after him to stop him from leaving, and the music reached a climax to enhance the atmosphere. The hostess ate the baby in one mouthful with tears, and the music stopped when she cried, so that the emergency stop at the climax caught the audience's psychology and set off the sad atmosphere. The music is also the expression of the hostess' inner emotions in the film. With the ups and downs of the hostess' inner emotions, the music is light when she is happy, the music is low when she is depressed, and the music is sad when she is sad. The ingenious use of music in the whole film not only enhances the atmosphere, but also makes up for the lack of dialogue in "Baby Bao", making the film full of hearing. And the lack of dialogue in "Baby Bao" is not a problem because of the excellent body language in the film, which visually makes up for the dialogue. What moved me the most was when Bao Baobao was about to leave with his wife, the hostess pulled him to point to Bao Baobao's wife, and then pointed to herself as if to say, "You left with her, then what should I do?" The whole paragraph There is no dialogue, but it clearly expresses what I want to express, and moves the audience. Silent is better than sound. The film also uses the body language of the characters many times, and the facial expressions show the inner emotions of the characters. About the theme "Baby Bao" is vulgar and not bad in the same kind of movies that express family affection and maternal love. The vulgarity is because of the way it expresses the theme. Through the process of a child's birth, growth, rebellion, and marriage, it shows the role of a mother. She is happy for you, worried for you, worried for you, and weeps for you. Mothers also go from being liked, relied on, trusted, demanded, ignored, hated, hurt, and forgotten. The good part is also the novelty, that is, the role of the child is replaced by a bun with life. Through the growth of the little bun, the audience can experience this process, and the viewing experience is more interesting, reducing the audience's concern for the theme of family love. The reverse mentality of the content. At the end of the movie the head looks like The shadow of Baozi appears, solves the mystery, and connects Bao Baobao's identity. Bao Baobao's appearance is real and dreamy. The editing of the film mostly uses superimposed paintings. In terms of character modeling, Bao Bao Bao’s clothes have been changed three times, showing Bao Bao Bao’s three stages of growth. The content of the film reflects the traditional family relationship in China. At the end, the hostess's behavior of eating the buns in one bite is very strange, meaningful and thought-provoking. Although what mothers do is for the good of their children, are they really correct? It also makes the audience think.

    With so many people giving five stars, seeing that this mother would rather swallow the bag than let it stand alone, it is estimated that she feels strong and uncomfortable.

    What a stereotype this is fucking ironic, this is the status quo, buddy! Although it is selfish to eat it, the love of parents is really selfish love. Who wants to have someone who has been by his side for decades come back and bring a woman to come and go! Would you like to? It's just a dramatic and exaggerated move, I didn't expect so many people with low cultural self-esteem to climax, cow?  …
