Film review I reprinted: I was fortunate to hear Professor Ed Hooks give a lecture on animator performance at the International Animation Festival, during which he analyzed the film Father and Daughter, played the whole film first, and then After analyzing and pulling it again, many details that were not paid attention to have been strung together. The professor said that he also knew the director of the film, and I think his analysis and understanding are basically correct... The first time I watched this film, it seemed that he showed it to us in Teacher Dayong's office, and then I came back and watched it myself It seems like a few times, but many places are still not fully understood... Professor Hooks chose a lot of details to explain. I think he should have communicated with the director of the film. Although Dayong's understanding is slightly different from that of Professor Hooks, I am more inclined to Hook. Prof. St. John's analysis, because my original understanding is roughly the same. First of all, the professor mentioned that bicycles and wheels are a symbol of life. The wheels are non-stop, and life is endless, so everyone in the film is on a bicycle, and leaving the bicycle to go far away is a symbol of the end of life. At the beginning, the little girl rode with her father, and she rode very easily. In the uphill place, she could ride up easily without any difficulty. But the father left her, left the bicycle, and paddled to the sea, that is to say, the little girl's father died. Here, the professor also specially mentioned that when the little girl's father left, the director's grasp and performance of the place were very good, and the emotion was transmitted to the audience. It was the first time he walked to the pier and walked to the side of the boat, but he turned around, watched for a while, then rushed back and hugged his daughter, so that the performance of animated characters is full of emotion. The reluctance of life and loved ones is conveyed to the audience. Then when he walked to the boat a second time, the music slowed down. He got into the boat. After her father paddled to the sea, the little girl made the most important decision in her life that would affect the rest of her life, that is, to ride a bike home alone. This means that she will no longer have her father's company and protection in her life. In a scene after that, the little girl grew up a little, but when she rode up the slope, it was not as easy as when she was accompanied by her father, but it was difficult, which symbolized her life because she lost her father Protect and help, and get hard when things get tough. And every time she watched, was she waiting for her father to come back? I think at the beginning, that is, when she was a little girl, because she lost her father at a young age, children would understand it as leaving, not death, and they would think that their father would come back, but when they are sensible, they will truly understand the departure of life It will not return, and the place where her father rowed away is actually a symbol of the father's left or vacant position in her heart, (I can't express it well, but I can understand), or that way. Scar, she is not constantly thinking about her father's return, but she is constantly thinking about her father's departure. Every time she thinks about it, she will be sad and melancholy. It is the same for everyone. Whenever your thoughts pass through that position, you will stop, and then you will miss and recall for a long time, and finally you have to jump back to reality. You can't expect your loved ones to come back, but you will still go to the distant place. . Just like every time I see the old books at home, I think of the grandpa who bought them, and then my mind stops there and misses him and his affairs constantly. Next, in the strong wind, the rhythm of the piano became faster, and the girl could only back up the car in the wind, which meant that her life became more difficult. Then the girl turned into a teenage girl, she rode with her classmates, but when she was going uphill, it was more difficult than her other classmates. At that point, she gradually slowed down and finally stopped. Far away again. It took a long time to follow. Then the director gave a close-up of the wheel and the shade of the tree, which should be a symbol of the wheel moving forward and the girl gradually growing up. Then, the girl has a boyfriend, and because she sits in her boyfriend's car, which means that she has his protection and help in her life, it is no longer difficult to move forward. She didn't stop at the place where her father left. But I noticed a detail that Professor Hooks didn't mention in the analysis, but I noticed that she still looked back when she passed the place. The director is so attentive and really injects emotion into the character. The next scene, which I really didn't quite understand, was that in the dark night, the moon was hanging high, and then the girl was riding a bicycle with the lights on, and the light of the car lights passed the road. Professor Hooks asked us to pay special attention to this place. He said that the meaning here is that everyone will experience that in the night, especially in the dark night, thinking and searching will become more and more intense. I don't know how to express it, but I understand and understand it, and I hope everyone can understand it. Then next, the girl has a child and a husband, and she becomes a woman. When they passed that position, they stopped together. After getting married, the sorrow and joy of the two people will understand and blend together. But then here is another important point. I think the director is really too powerful and careful. When they came to the pier where life left, the behavior of women, husbands, and children was completely different. The children couldn't understand death and life, so they played by the water, and the husband sat on the shore. A bit blankly looked at the sea, and a woman should have a deeper and heavier understanding of life and death, she just stood in the place where she used to be far away, trying her best to look towards the sea. Then the summer and the cold came, and when the young child passed by, the woman's car had begun to sway, which meant that she had begun to grow old. When she came to that place, she finally stepped off the pier, but her back had begun to bend. When she looked into the distance, the original sea had dried up, and some places had become wetlands. The wheel of life continues to move forward. At this time, the original girl has become an old grandmother. She can no longer ride a bicycle and can only push her car forward. The wheels were getting slower and slower, which meant her life was coming to an end and she was getting out of her car. Then, the film came to a key point, and we had to admire the director's skill again. When she parked there and was about to go down, her car fell over, she went back to help it up, fell down, helped up again, until the third fall, she just looked back and didn't help car, but toward the original dock. what does that mean? The only thing everyone wants to do when they are born and before they die is to live, even those who commit suicide will struggle at the last moment. The freshness and feelings of the characters are here, and the grandma keeps helping the car, which symbolizes her final yearning for life. But in the end she died. She walked slowly down to the original shore, where the sea was full of grass. She wanted to go to the depths of the sea of grass, looking for her father's footprints. Then she came to the boat. I think this design is really cool. The scene and mood of this boat are so well designed. She watched for a while, then walked to her father's boat, then held onto the boat and touched it with her fingers. Professor Hooks said that although he had seen the film no less than 200 times, he noticed it for the first time on the day of the lecture. The grandmother walked slowly across the stern and lay back in the boat, feeling everything her father felt. She seemed to be asleep. Then, like a cat, she seemed to notice something and woke up suddenly. Then get up and walk over. She walked faster and faster, and finally turned into a run, and her body became younger and younger, and finally turned into a little girl. Then she saw her father, she stopped, the two looked at each other, we could almost feel the inner dialogue between them, the father was full of guilt, and the girl seemed to be asking him, where have you been for so long. Then the father took a step forward, the girl ran over quickly, the two paused for a while, and finally hugged tightly. Seeing this, the professor let out a long sigh, then opened his arms and said, It's a magic! Someone might ask why the girl didn't end up being the same age when her father left, but a little older, Hooks The professor explained that it was because at the beginning, the girl could not understand the departure and death of her father. You didn't seem sad and lost when she returned alone for the first time. The age at which she finally met her father was the age at which she could experience her father's death. I'm still not good at expressing it here, but I think I get it. In this film, there are no special effects and fancy performances, the characters don't even have facial expressions and dialogues, and the soundtrack is only piano, but the director has given the characters deep feelings and told us a very touching story about love and life. Professor Hooks said that in society, the role of an artist is like that of a shaman in an ancient clan, who should use his "magic" to connect the entire clan together. Using the magic of art, insist on love, the most beautiful and sincere things of true human nature, and connect people together. The word he uses seems to be "connect", so that people will not be isolated and hate each other and selfish, and finally lead to the demise of the clan. . He said that he hopes we can all become as good shaman as the director of this film. I think this sentence is worth my life. Even if it is a dark gray work, its core should be beautiful and kind, and it can make people feel good and moved. I think this is the responsibility of art. I think if I want to do a comic or animation , I will definitely make it kind and connect people. Some people may ask why the girl did not change back to the age when her father left, but was a little older than then, Professor Hooks explained, he said that it was because at the beginning age, the girl could not Understanding her father's departure and death, you didn't seem sad and lost when she returned alone for the first time. The age at which she finally met her father was the age at which she could experience her father's death. I'm still not good at expressing it here, but I think I get it.
