"Hit, Hit a Big Watermelon" is a 16-minute long anime short film, even if it has won numerous awards, but 12 years ago, because the development of national comics did not make a major breakthrough, so only a very small number of people actually watched this short film at that time.

<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > "Nezha's Devil Boy Descending" is not accidental, 12 years ago, the dumpling director first saw the sharp edge</h1>

With the global popularity of Dumpling director's "Nezha's Devil Boy Descending", under the great success of the film, the 12-year-old god work "Hit, Hit a Big Watermelon" was also turned over.

Although the previous work is slightly rough in terms of picture quality, far less exquisite than every scene in the later work that can be used as wallpaper, the birth of the previous work has helped the director of dumplings to successfully open the door of the anime hall.

12 years ago, the dumpling director at that time was still the most ordinary member of all sentient beings, and his stage name was still called "Dumpling knickli" at that time, and his real name was Yang Yu. After three years of creation, "Hit, Hit a Big Watermelon" was successful, and after the great success, he said in an interview that he was too eager to succeed, so he incorporated almost all the ideas in his mind in the short film.

This short film, Xiaoyang has seen many times, but every time he watches it, there will be new gains, which also confirms that Dumpling said that the information in the short film is huge.

In general, this is a very humorous anti-war short film, but behind the anti-war, there is an in-depth discussion of civilization and barbarism, and the transformation of civilization and barbarism is often only between one thought.

<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > the two countries to wage all-out war over islands</h1>

The two warring states in the short film were initially only fighting for the small island between their lands. Interestingly, the island is in the shape of a bone, and the map of the two competing countries is very much like two ferocious vicious dogs. The metaphor here in the short film: two vicious dogs, fighting for bones.

Because the two leaders did not reach an agreement on the table, after a dispute, they became angry and turned to war against each other.

<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > no winner after the gunshot, civilization is trampled on, and the devil is mad</h1>

In dividing the island, both leaders measured their own power (where their fingers could reach), because the scope of power intersected, and neither was willing to make concessions where power was within reach, and this overlap became the fuse of this war.

<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > the transition from verbal conversation to bladed, from civilization to barbarism, is between the thoughts of the two heads. </h1>

After tearing the "face", the leader becomes a king in a military uniform, a sword symbolizing power, accompanied by a piercing unsheath sound pointing to the opposing camp. The confrontation between the two armies on the map has long been formed, which shows that before the negotiations, the two sides have long been ready for war.

The great war was about to break out, and the green mountains and rivers and deep hills of rice fields were all equipped with military weapons. The once stunning natural scenery, as well as the lush and lush bookmakers, were reduced to ruins, ashes and silt in an instant under the fierce fighting.

An all-out war broke out, the navy, army and air force threw themselves into battle, and countless fighters, tanks, aircraft carriers, destroyers, and submarines participated in the battle. Artillery fire broke out on both sides, the flames soared into the sky, wolf smoke billowed out, and the casualties were heavy.

<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > it's a table war, but not a single card is willing to die</h1>

All the military forces that went to war were printed on cards. As victims of the battle for territory between the heads of state, one by one, they were sent to the battlefield, fighting, burning, groaning, and then turning into ashes.

From beginning to end, only the two leaders who started the war were three-dimensional figures, all the soldiers sent into the war were two-dimensional, and their fate also suffered an unbearable dimensionality reduction blow, waiting for them only the pain of being hit by artillery fire, and the end could only be death.

One of the images is particularly striking, with one of the warriors on either side showing tears of fear and trembling of timidity. Although only one soldier is depicted in the short film, this is not an isolated case, but the collective voice of all soldiers.

< h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > the protagonists of the story are not the leaders of the war, but the two pilots who survived</h1>

The pilots of the two countries fought fiercely somewhere in the sky with their long jaws and square brains, and after several rounds of life-and-death duels, when the planes of the two sides crashed, the two were accidentally entangled by parachutes and successfully landed on an uninhabited island.

After landing, the two continued to fight for life and death, the long chin almost killed the square brain shell, but the winning long chin found them trapped in an uninhabited island. Turning to the long chin to rescue the dying square brain shell, for this scene, perhaps some friends will ask: Why does the long chin save the square brain shell?

The explanation of the short film should be: no one island, the greatest fear of loneliness, the need for a companion with a long chin. On the uninhabited island, they are no longer restrained when they take off their military uniforms, and they do not need to continue fighting for the decision of the head.

The two spent three months happily on the island, although the living materials were scarce, but such a poor life was also full of endless fun, they enjoyed the gifts of the sea, and they also reveled in the company of each other.

<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > to escape the war, and gave up returning to the civilized world, although trapped on a small island, but more suitable for the rest of his life</h1>

Three months later, they did not have the opportunity to leave the uninhabited island until the war hit the vicinity of the uninhabited island. But when the Third Nations rescue team arrived, they chose to stay. The reason for this was precisely because they did not want to go back to the battle, the two sides were in flames, shells flew over their heads, but they gave up returning to the camp and continued to play chess calmly.

It is not so much that they are deserters as that they are survivors of the war, and they do not want to go back, precisely because they see through the cruelty of the war (another title is "see through"), they do not want to be cards sent to the battlefield, and they do not want to die in vain and become the victims of the leader's struggle for territory.

< h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > the spider web that binds fate is broken, and the pilot escapes the domination of fate</h1>

The final scene of the short film is a bullet breaking through the spider web of an uninhabited island, where the spider web echoes the spider web that appears in large quantities at the beginning of the film, and each card is tied to the spider web and cannot move and cannot help itself.

The fate of all the soldiers, like puppets, is controlled by spider silk. The longitude and latitude lines of the world map are like two huge cobwebs on the top and bottom, symbolizing the divided world.

The final cracking of the cobwebs heralds the two pilots, escaping the shackles of power, no longer a card of the head, but two truly free and vivid three-dimensional beings.

<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > a lot of contrasts and profound meanings</h1>

The 16-minute short film uses a great deal of contrast to highlight the central idea of the anti-war campaign and present a dialectical reflection on civilization and barbarism.

Comparison 1:

The two leaders had gorgeous and straight suits, unsmiling gentlemanly demeanor, and the cold cruelty of waging war.

The two pilots, wearing only shorts and behaving roughly, showed savagery, and their heat of life after escaping death, and their indifference to the war after seeing through it.

Comparison 2:

Champagne and a full range of cigars.

Natural coconut water on uninhabited islands, discarded cigarette butts on the ground.

Champagne and coconut water are a very obvious contrast, and the contrast between cigars and cigarette butts is a highlight of the film.

The pilot chose to stay on the island, and the two picked up the half-cut cigarette butt on the ground, and the very tacit one took a sip, then snuffed it out, and took out a cloth with a long chin and wrapped the cigarette butt with the square braincase.

This is not the barbaric world's treasure of civilization materials, but the determination to spend the rest of their lives on the island together, which reflects the disappointment of this war. They treasured the half-cut cigarette butts because it was the only half-cut cigarette they could smoke for the rest of their lives.

Contrast three: the head's playing cards and the pilot's checkerboard

From beginning to end, all the military forces that went to war were printed on the poker, and as a card of the head, countless soldiers were sent to the battlefield. The whole war was fought in the form of poker.

The surviving pilots, whose only entertainment on the island, is playing checkers, and although the gameplay is simple, they are very happy.

You can regret playing chess, but the cards that were played by the head, the soldiers who were lost in the war, are forever gone.

Although the war was presented in the form of a poker duel, the bloody limbs, timidity and tears of countless soldiers were enough to shock people's hearts. In the eyes of the leaders of the war, they are just poker that has always been dismissed, but in the face of relatives and friends, pain and death, they are fragile flesh and blood.

Contrast four: the deadly saber becomes a weapon of life

The two pilots, when in both camps, had the only goal to annihilate each other.

The two men fought from the air to the beach, from the beach to the sea. This is also a miniature land, sea and air war, and the last handshake, the happy life on the island, and the tacit understanding shown later are all profoundly inspiring.

The saber that wanted to deprive the other party of his life eventually became a weapon of life for fishing. The two use small sabers to cut each other's hair, not only showing great trust, but also showing their hope for life, even if it is only a small island between square inches.

Contrast five: sending survival signals and dodging rescue

After 3 months of life on the island, when the two saw the ships of the civilized world, the two excitedly sent out a distress signal and danced to celebrate the return to the civilized world. This time to send a survival signal occupies a minute of the short film, and various fancy performances set off the excitement of the two pilots.

But found that the two sides were in flames, countless ships were hit by artillery fire, countless soldiers groaned in pain in the sea and on the deck, the two looked at each other for a second, found that the player ships of the third country were coming, and then immediately jumped into the sea to avoid rescue.

The consequences of being rescued from the civilized world are obviously to be involved in total war again, and they prefer to live comfortably on the island than cannon fodder.

In the special promotion of the film on CCTV, in the post-film interview, Yang Yu said: "The greatest wealth in life is to find yourself. ”

Just like the last two pilots, after experiencing despair, they find themselves again, and in the middle of the war zone where the two sides are constantly firing, the two can return to the chessboard calmly, which is the embodiment of finding themselves.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > the origin of the title</h1>

"Hit, Hit a Big Watermelon" is more colloquial than the much literary English name "see through", Chinese name is very colloquial, more like a swear word.

This is like two soldiers playing chess on an uninhabited island, and they complain from the heart to the war on both sides: "Fight, hit a big watermelon." But the words are not rough, because they have seen through the meaning of war and life.

Initially a mechanized duel, it was not expected that after the lack of military strength, the head would send a large number of infantry, as the final card, they gathered like ants, like a tide. They can all feel the joy and sorrow, and there are also wives, children, and children who have returned home.

The battlefield is like a meat grinder, and the soldiers who are strangled to pieces, groaning and withdrawing from the battlefield, fall to the ground and become useless waste.

This short film, although there is no dialogue, but the voice is worthy of praise.

The horror atmosphere of the opening film, the tragic scenes during the war, and the comfort and tranquility of life on the island are all very vivid. Although there is no dialogue, each scene is silent at this time.

<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > civilization and barbarism are in just one thought</h1>

What is civilization? After watching this short film, perhaps the audience should have a deeper thinking.

Civilization is not a suit and leather shoes, not a champagne cigar, nor a ship's cannon, but a knowledge of advances and retreats, understanding the overall situation, and serving the people's livelihood.

Barbarism is not about wearing shorts with bare chests and belly, not about fishing raw food and picking up cigarette butts, but about waging war recklessly.

Civilization is a spiritual pursuit rather than a physical struggle, the revival of civilization is the foundation of peaceful development, and the bottom line of civilization is not to wage war.

War can burn all civilizations, civilization and barbarism are like the front and back of a playing card, how to choose is in a single thought.
