Venice Film Festival (2005; 62nd) Awards: 1 Award · Future Digital Film Award Annie Award (2006; 33rd) Awards: 1 Award · Ubud Iwerks Technical Achievement Award Oscar Award (2006; No. 1) 78th) Nomination: 1 Nomination · Oscar Award - Best Animated Feature Film Female: This is my favorite movie, no one, I have seen it many times, I will cry! Can you find out some of the lens language you emphasize every time, I will keep it. Haven't you thought about lens language after watching it so many times? Woman: But I can't see it! Let’s talk about how the language of the lens came from. Like the theme, it is the story and the thing behind the picture. The so-called mountain is not a mountain. You don’t think about it. Is that butterfly? Accompanied by the wonderful music, the butterfly is presented in many ways... Drawn on paper, it means indelible... Finally, I explain why the male protagonist is staring at this butterfly with two big eyes, suggesting that the audience should do the same... The metaphor of …… Note that the movements of the sweeper, including the action of the fishmonger in the back, are always the same, every second, every second, very regular… These details have profound connotations, and I will explain them to you at the end! The camera follows the butterfly up and down until the butterfly is chased away by the baron... WOMAN: That is to say, this long shot follows the butterfly closely, right? Subtext: The flight path of butterflies spreads all over the town, like the sound of a bell ringer, scattered in every corner... At the end of the film, it turns out that these butterflies are the incarnation of zombie brides, flying to the moon... Female: It symbolizes eternity... ...? ! Ha, I learned to answer quickly, not bad! Butterflies are vaguely beautiful things, ancient and modern, all over the world, nothing like it! When the camera follows the butterfly, the audience has to think: Why do you want to chase this butterfly...? Woman: However, there is a question I don't understand. I feel that the male protagonist is always a little different? Originally, the male protagonist Victor had already fallen in love with the girl Victoria, but he changed his mind halfway and fell in love with the zombie bride, and she was the kind who was looking for life and death, but in the end it unexpectedly reversed... Don't forget, the female protagonist was also at a loss and compromised, Step into the wedding hall with the Baron! At this point, we have to think about a question: Is love immutable? Woman: To put it this way, this movie and The Great Gatsby are not at all a ideological theme. The girl's family also mentioned planning and acting. Attention: A marriage contract, a wedding, are just a plan, a part of the plan, and the details... The question is: If the world of love is not unique, what is specialization? one? Female: As you said, there are indeed many dialogues in the film that mention "plans", the plans of the two families... I thought it was just the foreshadowing of the story, but I didn't expect it to be closely related to the theme... It seems that this movie is really not Simple! Hehe, it was you who took Oscar and the movie too simply! Simple stories can only be read at a glance, they think they can be difficult to understand, and complex ones... Female: That's even more dizzy... Hi, Chinese people are at this level of appreciation at present, and we must admit the status quo... Don't talk about it. Movies... Back to movies. A large number of plots and dialogues reflect one point, that is, the secular and human nature. The desire for fame and fortune, the desire for wealth, diligently and diligently... Female: Really, it's homely! In fact, think about it, isn't the contemporary marriage and love relationship like this...? Female: There is a scene, why is the male protagonist Victor so nervous about the preparations for his wedding with Victoria, throwing away the ring, panicking... Kind people don't lie, under the Bible, they are always restless and in a hurry ... The only people who can deceive God are liars, professional liars, very professional liars... Female: I can understand that Victor and Victoria only met once, how could it be possible to fall in love with her right away? It's inevitable to be nervous about something like a wedding... The vase on the piano, the first time it was overturned, and the second time it was finally overturned... These are closely related to the plot. Remember the piano? Victoria can't play the piano, but Zombie Bride is very good at the piano. The two play together... The piano is a metaphor for the spiritual world. As the old saying goes, the piano and the melody, what is it called when the two play in an ensemble... Divine friendship, the fit of the spiritual world! Woman: Oh, it's no wonder that Victor and Victoria were not ready. They were embarrassed during the wedding preparations, and then they reunited with the zombie bride again. The reason for the private life is because the two are completely integrated in the spiritual world... Speaking of the spiritual world, I think of the underworld, the so-called underground world... Female: I especially like the underground world, it's too fairy tale, too poetic... I didn't expect that a hole could be so cute. That puppy's name is Xiaosui, it's like a toy, it doesn't matter whether it has hair or not, it's just as cute... The two worlds of yin and yang seem to be the relationship between downstairs and upstairs. We found that: the underground world is more sincere, there is no intrigue, intrigue, no arrangements, plans and traps, everything follows your imagination, willful and free sway... So we see, the world on the ground basically has the same color processing. It is a cool color, but the underground world is a warm and colorful world... Female: In the underground world, no one is afraid of a knife, as if it becomes a body decoration... In the earth, we are worried every day, do not know who Will stab you with a knife in the back... Look at the weapons they use: the duel between the knife and the fork... The battle between the good and the wicked... Female: I still remember the first Oscar animated short "Flower and Tree", that The same is true for the duel between the two trees. One wants to eat the other and is pressing step by step, while the other is completely defensive... Well, according to the four-dimensional integrated pull-piece analysis method, the plot theme characters climax, let's analyze the characters again ... After watching this video, do you think the zombie bride is beautiful? WOMAN: So charming, never under Victoria, no wonder Victor fell in love with these two women... Well, what's the difference between these two women? Female: It doesn't seem to be...but I know they are the same, they are all kind! Kindness is what attracts all men! A few digressions, we see a lot of weddings, people look like a good match, why is the divorce rate so high? Female: Yes, many women are also good-looking, why do the men around me still look for a mistress...? Can only be explained in two words, human nature! In addition to pursuing material desires, wealth, fame and fortune, they pursue everything they think is "beautiful"...human nature! Woman: The kindness of women is also hugely attractive to men, right? Very true! Men like gentle, Shuxian, dignified, kind-hearted women. From ancient times to the present, they have never changed... Thinking: Why does the underworld feel warmer? Woman: Originally, what do people pursue when they die? Material desires, fame and fortune...all shit These mundane things have been wiped out with life... What is it that washes away the lead? When it comes to Henggu, the word is very important! We have to think: What is eternal, meaningful, immutable? Woman: Is it love? no! ! ! Relationships, marriage... are all plans, a paper agreement, a wedding, the details... these are all mundane things in the world! Woman: You mean, feelings also transfer, both men and women? That's what it means, is empathy still new to men? In addition, did Victor and Victoria both have weddings with third parties... Female: Yes, yes, this is what I am most puzzled about... Why is the story made up like this? So what is immutable? We say that life and death are inevitable, and human nature is also the eternal theme of the story... Bones represent forever, eternity... Flowers have a flower language, and of course bones have their own symbolism... Female: Well, many ornaments are made of bones... Unforgettable! This film is to compare the two worlds of yin and yang. Think about it, what is there in the world of the underworld...? Nothing is lacking, not bad at all... Washed away the lead, it is more noble! Woman: Wow, after your interpretation, I realized that the original theme of this story is really profound... Let's go back to the topic of butterflies, and now I understand that butterflies are zombie brides, the incarnation of bones... That butterfly , why is the camera chasing...? Ask questions, answer questions, start and end, echo from end to end! Zombie brides symbolize kindness, and bones represent eternity! Here are all the creative ideas of the director: No matter in the realm of yin and yang, or the gap between life and death, what is eternal and unchanged? Human pursuit of those true, pure and perfect beauty will never change! Because this is human nature! Female: Oh, I see, no wonder the place where the butterfly in the title walks is a clock, and people's movements are also ticking rhythm and background sounds. The fishmonger cuts the fish with a knife, representing life and death... Butterflies symbolize kindness, and people always follow Follow your heart to capture what you want most in your heart...all kindness and beauty! The camera flies up and down with the dance of the butterfly, from the sky to the ground, through the square, and through the crowd... When you stare at her, your heart wanders, and the butterfly is also your heart, following the dance, ups and downs swaying... … Woman: Wow, that long shot is so important! Hi, unfortunately, not many people can see that...! Give you a sub-question, think, what is the metaphor of the glass cover? Butterfly is kindness, but also a free and beautiful heart. He cannot be imprisoned in a bottle... The glass cover represents a trap, a plan... Right? Weddings, rings, plans, traps, engagements... how many fame, fortune and ulterior motives are mixed in these seemingly beautiful things that we humans pursue, they are all vulgar things! After washing away the lead, what will always live in the hearts of the people is love, and love is the eternal and unchanging! Look, yin and yang are separated, what can we see together? What turns fear into soulful stares and hugs...? At the end of the film, the butterfly flies to the moon, just like the clock that appears in the film, it represents eternity... Female: I finally understand the theme, and I also understand the purpose of these plots. , my level is too far! take it easy! But in fact, let me tell you, the movie doesn't look like I do. It's because of the Oscar level that I analyze it this way. Generally speaking, let alone the audience, it's the director and screenwriter. There are a few who can understand the way... ? Female: That's right, Master's Eye, it's not ashamed to have a gap with you! Haha, because some people really want to be in this profession and want to know about Oscar Cannes, that's why I'm so chattering, breaking apart and smashing it... If it's not working in film and television, or the audience who don't have a strange interest in Oscar, and who don't know much about the Oscars, don't care about the people here and me. Cognition of film, including artistic perspective... Female: I understand, you are a clear streamer in the academic circle... The master of filmmaking is out of class! By the way, I almost forgot, pay attention to the only place where the butterfly lives in the title, on the name of the author of the original book... The butterfly symbolizes eternity and beauty, and this detail is also the director's tribute and praise to the original author, which is beyond words... Because some people really want to be in this profession and want to know about Oscar Cannes, I am so chattering, breaking apart and smashing... If you are not working in film and television or have no special interest in Oscars, the audience who do not want to know more, don't care about the relationship between me and here. The cognition of film, including the artistic perspective... Female: I understand, you are a clear stream in the academic circle... The master of film pulling is out of class! By the way, I almost forgot, pay attention to the only place where the butterfly lives in the title, on the name of the author of the original book...
