The French animation "I Lost My Body", Douban score of 8.2, Rotten Tomatoes freshness of 97%, is a realistic animation work, today let's see where it is realistic.
The "I" in "I Lost My Body" does not refer to a person, but from a "hand" that has lost its body.
An annoying fly and black and white tones, eerie background sounds throughout the film, should be extremely depressing animated film, but let people watch the mood calm and open. Not only did I think of the father-son dialogue at the beginning of the film.
At the beginning of the film, a conscious "broken hand" tries his best to escape the laboratory, shuttles through the dangerous big city, is persecuted by pigeons, rats, ants, etc., falls into the water, is taken away by dogs, and many things about the childhood of the director of this hand are remembered.
The male protagonist Lauuffel won at the starting line as soon as he was born, his parents were musicians, and his family was happy and harmonious. Dad wanted him to grow up to be an astronaut, he wanted to be a pianist, and he used to take a tape recorder to record his life with his parents, running on the beach and riding through his bike.
However, contrary to his wishes, his parents died in an accident, and when he grew up, Lauuffel became a delivery man who was often blamed for being late, and achieved nothing.
Lauffield liked a girl and did carpentry, studied and read in order to get closer to the girl, and his life gradually improved.
After being rejected by the girl, Lauffield lost his right hand in a work mistake and collapsed, hiding from the heroine.
The film connects reality and memory in contrast, on the one hand is the past that cannot be put down, and on the other hand, it is the lonely and confused reality. Lauffer also fantasized about jumping out of this tragic circle and struggling like many people in reality, longing for happiness, goodness, and family.
At the end, the heroine holds the recorder left by Lauffield, hears his cry, "broken hand" lying in the cold snow, recalls the imprint left on the beach as a child, the sharp contrast, triggering the feeling that things are not human. Maybe he has crossed the hurdle, or maybe 、、、, there is no clear explanation here, and the ending is up to you to imagine.
A small detail completely rewrites his fate, just like the words of a father to his child: "You can't do everything as you wish, this is life." ”
However, if you can't do it, please continue to be a sunny and hard-working person after a moment's rest.
This realistic animation work won the "Critics WeekLy Unit Award" at the 72nd Cannes Film Festival, the "Feature Film Crystal Award" and the "Audience Vote Award" in the feature-length animation section of the 29th Anxi International Animation Festival, in addition to the nominations for "Best Animated Film" at the 32nd European Film Awards, the nomination for "Most Popular Film" in the 3rd Pingyao International Film Festival, and the "Playwrights and Composers Association Award" in the Directors' Bi-Weekly Unit of the 72nd Cannes Film Festival.
