<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" >01, the meaning of "Red Balloon"</h1>
Red Balloon is a short film of only 34 minutes. However, it won the 29th Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay and the Palme d'Or for Short Films at the 9th Cannes International Film Festival. In 2007, director Hou Xiaoxian's film "Red Balloon Journey", which won the 60th Cannes Film Festival One Kind of Attention Unit and One Kind of Attention Award (nomination), was also a tribute to the director of the film. The shadow of the film can also be seen in "Flying House Tour". It can be seen that this short film, which was filmed in 1956, has an important position in the history of cinema.
Red Balloon is a 1956 short film by French director Albert Lamorisse. Set in Paris, France, the film tells the story of a lonely and wandering boy, Pasque (the son of director Albert Rameres), and a red balloon. On his way to school, Paske stumbled upon a red balloon, which was as spiritual as a mischievous and inseparable friend, accompanying him to school, watching the scenery and visiting the market rain, going to church, bringing him great happiness. However, a group of bad boys who were jealous of owning the red balloon broke it with a slingshot, and just as Paske looked sadly at the red balloon that was finally trampled by one foot, all the balloons in Paris flew towards Pascoe from all directions, and when Pascoe grabbed many colorful balloons and flew freely into the sky, he had a smile on his face again.
The red balloon full of spirituality in the film has different symbolic meanings in the eyes of different people. In my opinion, it symbolizes friends, and its appearance fills the psychological needs of young boys for friendship and companionship. That innocent friendship is essential to a person's growth and even happiness in life.
From "Red Balloon", we can see people's psychological needs for friendship and companionship
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" >02, what is the role of friends? </h1>
When it comes to friendship, everyone basically has something to say, because as the saying goes, "who doesn't have a few friends." So what exactly are friends up to us? In my opinion, there are three main aspects:
Accompany each other
Those who do not get friendship will be miserable loners for life. A society without friendship is just a bustling desert. - Bacon
The little boy In the film, Pascoe, has been going to school alone, and his thin figure looks even more lonely under the background of the tall and low black and gray houses and crowds in Paris. After the red balloon appeared, they went to school together, played hide-and-seek, watched the train pass by, visited the flea market, and like inseparable friends, the little boy's world seemed to be lit up.
People are naturally afraid of loneliness. Therefore, we need companionship, we need friendship, we need confidants.
Protect each other
True friends don't put friendship in words, they don't ask each other for anything for friendship, but they do everything they can for each other. — Belinsky
The little boy Paske would rather get his own rain on a rainy day than constantly borrow an umbrella from passers-by to block the rain, twice trying to snatch the balloon from the bad boys who tried to destroy the balloon. The balloon also followed the principal all day after the little boy was locked up by the principal, until the principal released the little boy. Finally, when the red balloon was trampled, all the balloons in Paris gathered and flew into the sky with the little boy.
A friend is the one who doesn't hesitate to stand up for you when you're being bullied and having trouble.
Spiritual comfort
Loneliness is man's destiny, and love and friendship cannot eradicate it, but they can soothe it. ——Zhou Guoping
The little boy Pasque rarely laughs in the film, looking lonely and melancholy, but the appearance of the red balloon makes his face smile a lot more. Friends are the light that can bring us happiness in a lonely and oppressive environment, guiding us in the direction of the sun.
True pure friendship is the mutual comfort between you and him. Support each other through life, through wind and rain and night. Just walking together, just companionship. Friendship gives both parties courage, confidence and comfort, and it makes our lives less difficult in difficult situations and less difficult in times of confusion.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" >03, how to maintain and optimize your circle of friends? </h1>
Life is difficult, and we need friends like red balloons to accompany each other and comfort our hearts. So how do we maintain and optimize our circle of friends?
Improve personal cultivation and ability
Friends are also attracted to each other, and only by continuously improving our strength in all aspects can we attract like-minded people to become friends. It is also the opportunity to meet people who are more powerful than themselves, and everyone has more common topics and learns from each other.
The circle of friends also needs to be cut off
Now social networking is simple and convenient, and the scope of our circle of friends is expanding rapidly. But we need to understand that there are not many friends, but fine. The circle of friends, like work, also needs to be reviewed and updated regularly. Because our time and energy are limited, in addition to family, work and personal interests need to be taken into account, for those friends who will not have intersections after a long time of contact, timely strip out of their circle of friends.
Treat friends at different stages of life with heart
In this life, we will meet different friends at each stage, most of them can only walk with each other for a journey, and then they will go their separate ways and gradually withdraw from each other's life circle. True confidants are precious, and there are even fewer confidants who can accompany us throughout our lives. This is a reality and a helplessness, many times we can only cherish it in our hearts, and occasionally we still feel warm in retrospect. But what we can do is cherish the friends who appear at every stage, and help each other through every stage of life.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > written at the end:</h1>
Life is not easy, no matter what stage of life we are in, difficult or favorable circumstances, we should guard our red balloon, because it will always bring us warmth and hope. At the same time, I hope that we can warm others like red balloons.
