Do you remember your childhood dream? Suppose one day the child asks
How would you answer him?
The German philosopher Jaspers said:
Education is a tree shaking another tree and a cloud pushing another cloud a soul to awaken another soul
The same is true of dreams
Among the animated short films nominated for this year's Oscars
There is a story about dreaming, sharing, inheriting, persevering, and gratitude.
To Gerald
It all started with a magic show
The magician decided to choose a spectator to interact with on the spot
The next trick
I need an audience
Come on, what's your name?
And the audience member happened to be young Gerald
The magician uses dazzling techniques
He let the gold coin disappear in front of Gerald's eyes
He said to Gerald
The most exciting trick is in
The most unlikely place to find magic
Gerald took a gold coin from the magician
Since then, the journey of dreams has begun
Fast forward a few decades
Gerald became a post office sorter
But he always dreamed of one day being like his childhood idol
Become a famous magician
He always practiced magic with coins given by idols between his work
But there was never a spectator
Until I met her
It was a purple-haired girl who had suddenly broken into the mailroom
She playfully played with Gerald's coins
Gerald was in a hurry
Shunshi performed a magic trick on the little girl
Curious girl
Became the first audience member of "Magician" Gerald
Gerald then began his performance
The one that has been practiced countless times over decades is so skilled that it can no longer be skilled
Quickly change the gold coin from the left hand to the right hand and disappear again
Finally appeared in an unexpected place
See such interesting magic
The little girl laughed in amazement
She eagerly held out her hands
Wanted Gerald to give the coin to himself
Gerald was embarrassed
Emotionally looking at the picture he took with the magician when he was a child on the wall
The words that the magician had spoken to himself resounded in his ears
Well, here's you, Gerald
You can keep that coin
Be careful, maybe one day
You can also conjure up your own little magic tricks
It was a gold coin that carried his childhood dreams
It is his yearning for magic and his inseparable feelings
But in the end he put the coin in the girl's palm
The girl was taken away by her parents
Gerald felt a pang of loss
His dream was after such a magic trick
There was a full round of applause and applause
And now, he can only dress up as an adult who plays little tricks to amuse children
Many years passed
Gerald became an old man
A poster of a magician that used to hang in the office
It is also covered by various post-it notes and work materials
That glittering magic dream had long since fallen to dust
On a normal working day
He suddenly received a purple letter that broke his rhythm day after day
The envelope read: To Gerald
He opened it and looked
Discovery is an invitation to a magic show
So Gerald was invited to a magic party
On stage, a highly skilled female magician is doing magic
Judging from the stage lineup and the atmosphere of the scene
This magician must be very popular
Gerald's seat was right in the audience seat in Position C
Just sat down in my seat
The light of the stage hit him
The female magician held out her hand to Gerald in the spotlight
Motion for him to go up to the stage
Gerald, who was already an old man, staggered up to the stage
The magician suddenly pulled out the invitation in his chest pocket
Turn in your hand
Instantly, it became the gold coin of that year
She handed the gold coins to Gerald
Gerald recognized her at once
Surprised, the eyes were moist
Cover your mouth with your hands
A purple hair is a very iconic one
It turned out that she was the little girl of that year
The girl gave way to Gerald
Invite him to give the finale for the party
But Gerald was too old
The hand holding the gold coin couldn't help but shiver
But soon
He adjusted his form
Like a real magician
With vivid expressions, skillful techniques
On the stage of his dreams, he performed the magic that had been practiced a thousand times
He untied the magician's cloak
Let it take off
At the moment when the cloak falls
Gerald also disappeared in full view of everyone
Cheers and applause erupted from the audience
And on stage
Only a spinning gold coin remained Jay
Rad used the most unexpected way
Ended his short career as a "magician"
At the end
Gerald replaced the poster on the wall with a purple-haired girl
Continue contentedly in front of his postman

Gerald in the short film
In the ordinary daily life, but always with magical dreams

But he probably didn't expect it either
A lifelong unfulfilled dream
It will inadvertently sow seeds to children who are on one side
The result was a new generation of magicians
It also made himself a stage performance opportunity with four amazing seats
Dreams are like love and wisdom
It will continue to pass through the crowd
You might as well make yourself the one who sows the seeds
