Luna
2012
Douban score: 9.0
Under the deep blue night sky, in the middle of the quiet sea, a small boat called "Luna" swayed, and three generations of grandchildren sat on it. At sea level, the round moon rises slowly...
On the boat sat three generations of grandchildren, a grandfather with a long white beard, Kong Wu's strong father, and a little boy with clear and bright eyes. Grandpa gave his grandson a hat, which seemed to symbolize the beginning of some important ritual, and for the boy, perhaps this was proof that he had become a man
Since ancient times, generations have been interdependent, but there has always been a gap in thinking, and what cannot be separated is blood affection. Unconsciously, the full moon emitting a milky white glow rises from the sea and suspends the night sky.
Dad propped up the ladder, and the boy climbed up with an iron anchor on his back. It turned out that the light was actually the stars all over the surface of the moon, which crossed the universe and fell like meteors, decorating this beautiful asteroid.
The whole film is only 7 minutes short, but every frame is breathtakingly beautiful, and the story seems bland, but it is meaningful. Grandpa is stubborn and grumpy, and father is also strong and stubborn, and they both stick to their own ways and try to impose on the boys.
The boy seems to be obedient and obedient, but in fact has his own ideas, does not conform to the old ways, blindly follows the methods of others, knows how to innovate, and finally succeeds.
