I am a thousand things that love fantasy.
"Anyway I Love You" won the Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film, this animated short film does not have a single line in the whole process, but tells a tender and silent story about a family, between parents and children, between wives and husbands.
The sweet coexistence of a couple of lovers after falling in love, and the happy life they nurture the crystallization of love, or the tragedy after the loss of their young daughter. Through the silent black-and-white animated short film, it can show us a very delicate side, and perhaps let us have a deeper thinking about the word "family".
The story of the opening of the animation is foreshadowed
As soon as the animation opens, a tired couple sits at opposite ends of the table, a long distance apart. The dying withered flowers in the vase at the table, and the dim and blurry background, all silently tell the story that will be a tragedy. The story structure, which is full of depression and darkness, lays a suspense and foundation for the story tone of the animated short film. As the closest lovers, they did not communicate the whole time, but the black shadows derived from them were silently arguing about something, tit-for-tat, arguing endlessly, hiding a storm that we did not know.
The story unfolds slowly, and we discover that there is a tragic past in the middle of a couple sitting like strangers. This animated short film seems to unfold from the indifferent opposite between two couples, but in fact it tells the relationship between lovers, parents and children, and families.
1. Love between lovers
There is no line in the whole animation, only a song that runs through the story, "The pursuit of the boys makes me tired, but your retention makes my heart fall." When the wife met her husband when she was young, she ignored the pursuits of other boys, only to find them annoying, and only had a heart for her husband. In this way, the two fell in love and began a beautiful life, they respected each other as guests and treated each other sincerely. Soon after, finally ushered in the crystallization of their love, a cute girl. What made their close relationship so precarious that they thought life was going in the direction of happiness and contentment, turning into two black shadows arguing?
The love between lovers, said fragile and fragile, said strong and strong, we are difficult to measure the value of love with money, but any small factor may indirectly lead to the collapse of love and trust. Love is the inner resonance between two strangers, and this resonance is a heartbeat that is unique, but also with a kind of initial bud and sincerity. But we have no way of anticipating the future direction of love, it can be sweet or disappointing.
2. Parent-child affection
For a long time, children have been known as the crystallization of parental love, and only when two people truly love each other, children will be born in sincere love. Having children as a spice in daily life will make the original intimate love more solid, and it can also make the love on the cliff become precarious. In other words, children are the glue of love and the catalyst that causes love to collapse.
The unfortunate death of the couple's children in the animation caused a very huge blow to the couple, and there was a scene at the beginning of the animation, the couple ate silently at the dinner table, there was no language and eye contact the whole time, the dim background, silently suppressing everything. When a child is born, how much happiness is brought to them, and after the child's unexpected death, the blow to the parents is equal.
It is precisely because the child leaves that this originally happy family becomes crumbling, which also reflects the love of parents for their children. No matter what the child's future growth is, what her appearance is, she is always a treasure held in the palm of a family' hand.
Parental love is like this animated short film, it may be integrated in the song or it may be silent, but it is always there. This kind of affectionate love does not diminish with the passage of time, but the feelings that are deeply rooted in the blood bond are unmatched by any feeling.
3. Get along with families
A family consists of three main roles, the first being the father, the second being the mother, and the third being the child. Above we said that the child is the maintenance of a family, or it may be a lead to the collapse of family relations. Parents' feelings for their children, just like the tear-jerking lyrics, "I wish we could live happily together." For the child, this must also be her (his) own voice. The unfortunate death of a child has led to the collapse of a family and even the collapse of the trust relationship between the husband and wife.
However, life continues, rather than immersing in the grief of the past, it is better to pin your child's thoughts and love on it, and better face the future life.
Many people don't understand that after jack's death in Titanic, Ruth still lives so happily and freely, and thinks ruth shouldn't be immersed in sadness? That's because Ruth knew she had Jack's love and blessings in her. Jack hopes that after she leaves, Ruth will not be immersed in the grief of losing herself, and hopes that she can meet a better future, have a new life, and live in happiness.
Ruth, who always has a happy smile, is the Ruth that Jack loves deeply. A person who loves deeply is not to imprison the freedom and thought of the other party, not to trap the other party by his side, but to hope that she (he) can have a happy future. Even if she lives outside her own sight, even if she (he) does not exist in the future, he or she hopes that she (he) can be happy and healthy. This is Jack's love for Ruth, and it is also the child's expectation and blessing for their parents in the animated short film.
Love has many expressions, it may be blessing and letting go, but it is not selfish possession.
Any kind of love in the world contains both selfishness and selflessness, selfish to the point of hoping that lovers or children will always live under the wings of their own protection, and selflessness is the hope that the other party can be happy and healthy in the future journey of life. "Anyway I Love You", as the name of this animated short film, contains both the selfless love of parents for their children under any conditions, and the blessing of a pair of lovers from love to marriage.
