In Western legend, there is a bird named "Stork", which is a bird that transports children. But where did the children transported by the Stork come from? It turns out that in the clouds of the sky, living clouds create these "children", and among so many clouds that create life, there is a sad "cloud", which is called "Gus". Its specialty is to create "aggressive" children such as baby crocodiles, ferocious porcupine babies and baby goats. And its partner, Pekk, a stork, is responsible for transporting Gus's "works" to earth. But as Gus's creation became more and more crazy, Peck's task of transporting these "dangerous goods" became more and more difficult, and every time he came back, he was scarred. Until one time, when Gus held a baby shark and handed it to him, the exhausted Pek flew away in fright, and Gus cried sadly...
Pixar plays a short film as is customary before UP. Compared to Birds birds birds! For the satire of the world, this "Violent Cloud and the Sending Crane" touched me more deeply. What a beautiful fairy tale of a crane sending a child, what a fable of clouds creating life, what life is originally alive and cute, for me are all gimmicks and floating clouds, this film is obviously about love. It's about how two people with a special relationship get along, about fate, about contract.
Every cloud has a crane. In the eyes of the cloud of violence and the cloud of violence, this seems to be a matter of destiny.
This may be a form of love. But our two clients may never have realized it when they had this love.
So when the crane was overwhelmed and scarred, he would still come back; so when the clouds found that the crane was looking for a new love, he was angry and wept.
Not only that, but this relationship is not a simple contract, as if it also includes a series of potential laws for getting along. Crane must smile at Yun every day, and Yun must feel sorry for his hardships; Crane is not allowed to show dissatisfaction with Yun's works, Yun is innocent and sensitive; Crane concentrates on transportation, and Yun concentrates on creation. Everyone does their part, pretending there is no harm.
However, one day the crane will no longer be able to transport Yun's works. It wasn't that he didn't want to, it was that he was already dying of hurt. So he flew away. Go to a friend and talk about it, and then get stronger when you come back. Although Yun was heartbroken, he immediately accepted him. And then continue to hurt.
It's a heart-wrenching little story to watch. Heartbroken Crane's hardships, obviously hurt repeatedly, but also bitterly supported, forced to smile; even if he couldn't bear it, he could find some defensive measures on his own, and when he returned to Yun's side, his face was full of love and pity. He was also sad about Yun's innocence, he was just born different from others, but he also worked hard to create, but he never thought that he had brought harm to the crane.
But what about the injuries? Crane was willing to endure day after day of pain, perhaps not to make his condition better, but also unswervingly continued to live; Yun clumsily did what he thought he could please Crane, worrying for him when He did not return on time, breathing a sigh of relief and then making trouble when he returned, believing that his forced smile was happy.
They kept their contract to each other in peace. I didn't even know that this contract existed.
Yet we ourselves always think too much in a relationship. In fact, when we start to calculate gains and losses, we already indicate loss.
【I love you】
I know, we've all said to that person, I love you. Full of devotion, full of hope, I really thought that the happiness of a lifetime was frozen on this ordinary night. Then we'll want to be together forever, no matter what, and it won't separate us.
Gus and Peck were born together, perhaps nothing, and they were together from the day they were created. This fateful fate is so familiar to us. We have all been shocked to realize that we have waited so long, waited for the person, and then believed that this was fate.
【Together】
Peck is devout, Gus is innocent, there is no one in this world who is right or wrong, just round chiseled square fir, needle tip to Mai Mang. Gus's vocation is to create violent life, and Pek has to bear it all, and things have been circling around in such a matrix of seeming destiny, and no one cares, just thinks that things should be so.
Newton said it was inertia. Habits are the most terrible force when we get used to each other's body temperature, get used to each other's numbers, get used to each other's habits, when some become taken for granted. We were serious, so we lost.
【I insist】
Peck has been insisting. Everyone could see the confused persistence in his heart. It was as if a contract had trapped him firmly in the old times. He even began to believe that one day, things would go as they wished. But as people often say, there are nine times out of ten that something is not satisfactory. He didn't go, and he didn't give up on Gus, even if he was physically and mentally crippled. I love you, I want to be with you, forever. Such sentences still seem to linger in our ears, as if it were the light breeze of midnight yesterday, haunting and lingering, until we angrily shout in the mirror, fuck off, you bitch! However, we know that we can't do it, and we can't get out of it forever.
【I leave】
Peck eventually chose to leave, even though he knew the problem wasn't Gus. Sometimes, in this world, problems are always more complicated than you see.
However, when we saw Pek return to Gus with his sturdy armor, the reluctance that had been sealed in our hearts for a long time once again appeared in front of us, still so familiar. And we still have no regrets.
In the end, we understand a truth, love is not a family. Too many people choose to leave, but many more choose to stick there and silently resist all this. Those who leave in order not to harm each other's future, and those who leave in order to fight for each other's future. As has long been said, no one in this world is right or wrong. It's just that time is occasionally a bad pool.
【My Last】
The short film is only 5 minutes long, but it ends up giving us a hapi ending that makes us think that's the end of the story, and it seems like Peck and Gus will eventually be the same as before. But we know that this is not possible.
On the road of our feelings, we always think that it is okay to suffer more, and one day things will change. So we got hurt more and more. No matter how hard the armor is, it can't stop being beaten again and again, just as we can't withstand the deception and blow again and again in our strong hearts. What should be broken will eventually break, and time will occasionally be a bad pool.
The pursuit of happiness is often not in your persistence, but in your withdrawal at the right time.
