I feel like some reflections from the industrial age? The human condition? The relationship between man and nature? The biggest feature of this film is that it uses the simplest form of children's drawings, without using any language, to fully express the negative impact of industrial civilization on human existence. As far as the living conditions of human beings are concerned: industrialization deprives people of their individuality and creativity, making people into numb work machines, and also making people unemployed without knowing what to do, reducing the happiness of human existence, and the products produced by industrialization lack warmth. . It turned out that the little boy's family was a happy family of four. Later, his father went out to work, and his grandfather was too old and frail to work. His mother went from picking cotton in the countryside to weaving in a factory, doing the same mechanized work every day. There is very little happiness, and the little boy has always longed for his father's care as he grew up, but his father has never come back. The most terrible thing is that when the train door opened and his father came out, the little boy happily thought that his father was back, But the people who got out of the car were all dads, and they all looked exactly the same. The little boy no longer knew who his dad was. My understanding is that under industrial civilization, dad lost his personality and temperature, just like a product produced by a machine. The same product, no different from others. Industrial civilization has turned the people in the workshop into emotionless machines. It is also an industrial civilization. When freeing their hands, it also made a large number of workers unemployed. I don’t know what to do, and the things produced by the machines are exactly the same. As far as the relationship between man and nature is concerned: when the machine replaces the labor, the machine slashes the machete relentlessly into the forest, the forest is excessively felled, the air is seriously polluted, and people are frantically destroying the environment on which they depend. As for the self-salvation method of human beings in industrial civilization, the film shows: that is music and color. Music and color bring life back to life and keep people individual and creative.
