At the beginning of the film, the young man, like most office workers, is expressionless, holding documents in his hands, and even a little tired waiting for the bus at the platform. When the girl ran by quickly, a series of changes took place in the young man: first, he was curious about the girl, then shy and embarrassed, and then the document paper with the girl's lip print accidentally left a mark on his heart, The smile that the girl looked back at at the end was the biggest motivation for his perseverance to use the paper airplane to attract the girl's attention.
The lifeless office, neatly dressed colleagues with glasses, and sharp-eyed bosses contrast with young men. Inadvertently, he found that the girl he met was in the building opposite, so he picked up the paper and folded the paper plane again and again...
A thick stack of paper was used to fold the plane, but the girl never noticed. When the boss brought a stack of documents again, the girl opposite had already turned and went downstairs. The young man rushed out of the office in spite of everything and raised the stack of documents. The change in the rhythm of the music also showed the boy's anxiety, he didn't want to miss the girl who had a relationship with him again. But the girl was nowhere to be seen. When he decided to give up, the stack of paper planes brought the two together. Still a station, and that piece of paper with the lip print, and most importantly - I finally see you again.
In just over six minutes, the story is simple, and there is no dialogue in black and white animation, but the storytelling is vivid and interesting through the use of light and shade of lights, the action and expression of characters, and the processing of music, and makes it more romantic through imagination.
In my opinion, a good animation may not need a lot of cool stunts or gorgeous scenes, or a particularly complicated and tense plot, the important thing is the story itself and its expression. Let the audience naturally follow the camera into the story, and feel the world where the characters feel the curtain.
On the other hand, some domestic animations have serious problems such as heavy imitation, obtrusive preaching, old-fashioned plots, and rough character design, and most of them are only shot for children, which lags far behind the development of animation and animation industries in Europe, America and Japan. Take Japanese animation master Hayao Miyazaki as an example. Most of his animation works involve the relationship between human beings and nature, pacifism and feminism. Unique. His animations are not only for children to watch, but also use animations to touch the softest place in the hearts of adults and help them find the innocence and beauty lost in the adult society.
In the end, don't give up trying, because we'll meet the person we've been looking for again, and say to him/her: "Nice to meet you!"
