BGM ドラえも~ん!

(Listen and watch my useless talk 8

Recently, although I have watched a few movies sporadically, I have been in a strange state of nothing to write about (actually, it is the norm), but after watching "Boy and the World", I really can't restrain the feeling of wanting to write about it, okay? ! I'm going to blow up this animated movie!

As the name suggests, this is a little story about a little boy who is full of curiosity and explores the world. The beginning of the story is the most innocent simple strokes. The color is the most romantic and gentle watercolor texture. It always reminds me of the picture books I read when I was a child. I will send you an afternoon of happiness with a few strokes.

Children rush to scare blue butterflies

Many children who grew up in the city, including me, a post-95 who wants to grow up in a fifth-tier city, may not understand the joy of playing with natural flowers, plants, trees, birds, animals, insects and fish. Running after the butterflies, watching them fly in surprise; the sky full of fireflies, blinking with the stars in the sky; listening to my father playing the shepherd's flute, the happy voices are hidden in the cans; the whole family is neat, stealing each other's bowls of sauce . Chick Chick Chick Chick Chick Chick Chick Chick Chuck

So happy, his childhood was the most brisk and brightest paintings; so sad, I haven't seen the starry sky and fireflies.

little boy and dad
Great family

But you know, how could this be a fairy tale? If there is no turning point, there will be no growth, and there will be no world if you only live in your hometown. So (not actually a causal relationship) one day, the little boy's father boarded a long-distance train. Maybe for a living, maybe for a dream.

It's easy to think of problems that are common in Brazil as well as in China: the tide of migrant workers, left-behind children. Those who left their homes went to the cities, and those who stayed were hopeful and confused.

dad left

The little boy was very confused. Does he understand why his father left? But he misses more, misses those warm times that we experienced together. Sometimes I thought my father was back, only to find out in the blink of an eye that it was just an illusion.

(It’s so sad and I miss it so much. So Mom, bring pictures of the whole family, I’m going to find Dad.

In this way, the little boy bid farewell to his hometown in a hurry and went to see the outside world. He didn't know what he was up against, he was just carrying the suitcase and thinking I was going to find Dad.

And this part, this is the focus of this film.

It's everyone picking cotton
someone sings
It's big industry that cuts down all the trees
Also we don't have trees

Urbanization, Industrialization, Urbanization, Modernization.

Consumerism, pecuniaryism, authoritarianism.

And the most terrifying thing is that when the little boy returned to his hometown that day, he saw his father getting off the train at the station. He was so happy.

Before he could be happy, he saw the person who got out of the car behind had the exact same face as his father.

? ? ? ? ? ? ?

This is modern people.

Everyone ran with the pace of social progress, and accidentally became exactly the same person.

Different jobs are the screws of society. Dressing differently is a product of industrial society. Contribute to GDP in the middle of the year and the end of the year. Fighting back and forth can not escape the mediocre life.

Of course, I personally think that everyone's personality can be developed if they persist enough. It may just be that there are too many people on earth, so there are too few lucky ones.

It is worth mentioning that during this journey, the little boy has been observing the world from a very lonely perspective.

He took a moment to watch the flowers, didn't care much about where the next stop was, and was completely free to do whatever he wanted, but he took us around the world by accident.

He had no intention of changing, but was trapped in nostalgia. But in fact he can't change anything, and he can't get back the time he misses.

How lonely.

How lonely life is.

Do you think there is still hope for a lonely life?
