Le voyage du ballon rouge 2007 Hou Hsiao-hsien
Chengbei.
Hou Hsiao-hsien's second propositional essay.
The Red Balloon is a modern fairy tale film with almost no dialogue, shot by French director Albert Lamouris in 1956. All children will tell fairy tales for themselves, talking about comfort and licking when they are lonely or insecure, whimsy can create sweet fantasies, through here to reach all purple or orange little children Island, where buddies laugh and share toys, where there is neverland and playground, slingshot stone mud castle. Lonely children have no sugar to eat, no dance, no little girlfriends to bully, but you have a psychic red balloon to talk and share your thoughts. Well, we've all done Peter Pan, even if you're the autistic Pan.
Although thanks to the Merryman Soup children and all the balloons in Paris, and despite the easy access to these imagery for children, it has to be said that this is still a fairy tale for adults. So, what are these little things that we remember and pay tribute to?
After watching the film, I learned about the tribute, the silent fairy tale of Lamorris and the original intention of the essay. Many people told the story of Ah Xiaogu that it has nothing to do with the red balloon of Lamorris, but only pays homage through imagery. Maybe it was only because of the long shot that he gave the homework to A Xiaogu, but A Xiaogu really left everything behind and drifted away? I spent some of his interviews, and A Xiaogu didn't write the essay just because he had nothing to do people.
The film begins with simone saying something to a red balloon in the sky, please let me take you home.
Suzanne asks Song, a Chinese girl studying movies in Paris, to take care of Simon. She loves her son Simon very much, but is often neglected. The clutter of life and other trivial matters make her very busy, there is a nasty locataire who is a friend of her husband Pierre, who often does some things that make her angry, and the rent is an excuse to live in poverty and has not been paid for several months. , Suzanne's expression seemed tormented, her words were flustered and her emotions could not be calmed down, filled with breathless breaths; life was overwhelmed as if it had just been abandoned. In a few words, we learned that her husband Pierre did not leave a word to go to Montreal, Canada to write a novel. They divorced but obviously suzanne has not moved on. Her job is to participate in the voice acting in the puppet drama "A Wife and Boil the Sea Man", as long as there is her In the puppet show of love, the whole person is as dazzling as a goddess, but this only seems to be the only freedom and peace of a chaotic life.
Suzanne mentioned to Song that she loved Song's film called Origin, which had an abstract temperament, reminding her of her childhood, and the house was on the mezzanine, "When my parents were there, I could hear all kinds of movements, It's like an echo chamber. I can hear my parents when they put the key in the lock, and your video seems to bring that back to life. The sound, the picture... and sometimes you The darkness in the imagery. I remember the sound of my mother slamming the door. The sound of my father pacing the house. And me, the sight of getting into their bed and clutching their hands, your video It touches on a feeling deep in my heart that I almost forgot."
When he was with Simon, Song never took his hands off the camera, and Song mentioned "Red Balloon". They walk in the small park, song will seriously talk to Simone, Simon seems to be a bit precocious, he will describe himself as younger and older, he is much quieter than his peers, and the happy memory is that he was with him because of the divorce of his parents The time his separated sister used to spend with him. In front of the relief of the little girl playing the puppet, simone told Song that she had disguised herself as a man, when in fact she was disguised as a man to hide. The words spoken through the mouth of a child are pure but profound. In some moments of life, suzanne can gradually calm her voice and no longer tremble. When talking about song's films, she listens to the master's performance and introduces the history of puppetry. In the train of three people, she gave the master a picture to accompany her. Growing up postcards, she would turn her head to the sunlight coming in from the window, il fait beau, the weather was so good, suzanne always pursed her lips into a smile. It's hard for me not to think that she's trying to calm down, breathing hard when she's about to choke, finding a way to find a way to be like a drug addiction with all the changes in her lover and a stable life. Gesture, trembling again and again, crying again and again. The only thing that can be comforted is from the memories of my childhood, the memories of my children's childhood, and the fairy tales I read when I was young; soothe the bitterness at the moment.
Simon found a big red balloon that was ignored, and the process of pulling it through the streets and alleys of Paris was recorded in the camera by song and became a movie within a movie.
tout le temps sans conséquence, all time without result, end.
Step into the fairy tale of your soul as the first mover, and it will become the consolation of the mundane life and perseverance in the future. Because of this, adults will never forget the red balloon of La Morris. I am reminded of the first movie review I saw, from Finding Neverland. The title is called he can't fly without childhood, talking about Michael Jackson's life. Just like suzanne's memory, song's image, simone's good times, if you don't have childhood and can't fly, you still have Lamorris, you will understand the meaning, and you will remember him.
Please let me secretly think that this is what Ah Xiaogu wanted to say.
