The small bits are usually full of pity and innocence

Looking at this short film with modern film skills, it is indeed very common. Even at the moment when the scattered balloons are flying, I look forward to seeing the close-up and even close-ups of the balloons. The final expectation was still in vain, but from that moment on, I felt that the sky was closer, just like what I saw with the naked eye. The simple scenes in life jumped into my heart across the screen.
About fifteen minutes into the short film, I was thinking about why its foreshadowing was so lengthy, and I even thought about giving up watching it. The small life plot is what French directors love to show. It's like people wait a long time before they are relieved. To grit the teeth and continue to vent the energy. This is also the technique that French films love to use, so most French films do not have bright tones, especially those involving the soul, which are somewhat dull.
And the most touching thing should be silence, weak, weak persistence. Therefore, an innocence is often fragile and lack of resistance. It is also difficult to maintain an innocence. Who can still remember the soft and stubborn self, what kind of mentality and ideals he had after he was a child.
The little boy in the film can finally soar into the sky as he wishes, but what kind of appearance does the sublimated little boy have, or lose his original innocence.
Perhaps, what people see in the real society is "one part of maturity, one part of loss", and what is often lost is the most loving heart.
Stop and look for the balloon that used to be yours.
