When I read "The Little Prince" before, I was deeply impressed by the story of the little prince and the rose, as long as there is love in my heart, whether it is a human being or a rose, I will feel happy.
The rose in the story likes the little prince, and when she is young and beautiful, she just bloomed and asked the little prince to help her water, deworm, and cover her at night, but the little prince did not know that he also loved roses, and between love and freedom, he chose freedom.
It wasn't until after a lot of things that the little prince realized that he also loved roses, and he was responsible for roses. But after so long of separation, what will happen to the roses that no one takes care of, the ending is not said, we can only rely on speculation.
Recently, I watched an animated film called "Electric Fan and Flower", which also tells a love story about flowers, in which the electric fan fell in love with flowers, and finally sacrificed himself when facing an existential crisis. Compared with the little prince, the love story of this animated short film is more tearful.
The story takes place in a room where an electric fan lives in an empty room in an old woman's house, which has a funky design and a brand new body, but it feels bored after a long time.
One day, the old woman brought back a pot of flowers, and after a few days together, the electric fan fell in love with the flower, and he showed his charm to the flower, sometimes slowly, sometimes gently, sometimes quickly turning the fan leaf, but the flower did not pay attention to the fan at all.
The fan also obtains the joy of the flowers by changing the lights, and under the fierce pursuit of the fans, the flowers gradually accept the fans. But one of them was on the roof and one on the table, doomed to be unable to hug each other.
In response to the fan's love, the flower bloomed a beautiful flower, and the scene outlined in the black and white stick figures in the shot suddenly stood out because of this gorgeous flower.
As time went on, the fan and the flower fell in love more and more, but what could be done to get closer? Flower moved the table forward by shaking her body, trying to get closer to the fan, but Flower almost let herself fall, and the plan failed.
However, the love between flowers and fans is getting stronger, and the flowers will change different flower types for the fans at night, and the fans will use their wind speed to move the flowers, which is in line with the beautiful narration in the movie:
She painted his life, and he moved her heart.
Grandma's memory was getting worse and worse, and she passed by the door of the room countless times, but forgot to water the flowers and maintain the fan. Gradually, the flowers began to wither due to lack of water, and the fans accumulated a thick layer of dust, no longer as flexible as before.
Finally, on a rainy night, Fan decided to sacrifice himself in exchange for the flowers to survive.
It turned the fan harder and faster, dusty and sparkling, and the fan broke through the ceiling and flew outside the house.
The rain fell into the house and fell into the pots, and the flowers were saved, but the fan fell from the air, and its lover was never seen again.
Later, someone rented the grandmother's house, and the flowers were transplanted into the courtyard to grow freely, but she could not forget the fan.
After that, every spring, the flowers will grow like four-leaf petals like fans, and whenever the spring wind blows, the petals will turn.
Eventually, the fan and the flowers were together in this way.
When people come to watch out of curiosity, they don't know that there was once a fan who chose to sacrifice for the sake of their lover.
Nor did they know that there was a beautiful flower that she could never forget, the fan she loved.
The style of this animated short film is simple, dominated by black and white stick figures, and only when a flower blooms and is reborn, it will show beautiful and vibrant colors. But the thread is smooth and concise, making it easy to immerse yourself in the story, nervous about the encounter between fans and flowers.
However, the core of these stories that do not hinder it is very touching, and on the days when they cannot embrace, they accompany each other, comfort each other, and drive each other away from loneliness. Even if it is doomed to not be embraced, it does not affect the feelings to be sincere and affectionate.
The love experience of the fan also teaches us a truth, love is not only possession, not only companionship, but also giving and giving.
And in the end, the flower also gave and dedicated in her own way, that is, she turned her petals into a fan to remember the love between them. Once it was brilliant and colorful, but for the sake of the fan it was willing to open this monotonous pattern, every year.
The story does not have any big ups and downs, it looks ordinary, but it moves the audience in the ordinary. Aren't our lives connected by one ordinary day after another? This simple and passionate emotion ignites ordinary life, allowing them to spend every day happily immersed in love. It's ordinary, but it's precious.
Similarly, the story of fans and flowers also makes people lament the magic of love, let them know and love each other when they are lonely, let them enjoy the fun and emotion brought by love, and let them experience the ability to give and love each other.
All the fans do is just so that the flowers can live well, the emotions are simple but great, this work is warm and healing, let people believe in the charm and beauty of love, let people feel a warm experience in the era of gradual indifference.
