I accidentally saw such a five-minute short film, which was supposed to be entertaining with my mind, but I didn't expect to stop the tears after watching it, and the words I wanted to say were blocked.
The whole picture is recorded by a swinging pendulum, symbolizing the passage of time and the short but warm life of the two.
Boys and girls, who met when they were young, knew and fell in love with each other because of a hero saving beauty. So he had his own children and a family.
Then the seven-year itch, because of the unsatisfactory work and reality, men began to drink heavily and beat their wives.
Later, the wife fell ill, and the man suddenly woke up.
So they worked hard, guarded with their hearts, and snuggled up to each other until the end of their lives, and both died.
In fact, just looking at the whole plot, it seems to be very plain, probably every family has such a marriage, such a story, but in the end, it has finally touched tens of millions of people, so this short film of only five minutes, in the end, what kind of magic is it?
【Hidden ending, unique ingenuity】
In fact, in the first time after reading it, many people probably did not understand the real meaning of what it said, probably because they felt that the love between two people was very beautiful. But in fact, if you look closely, you will find that in the short film of 2 minutes and 10 seconds, the man bought the veil and died in a car accident on the road, so later his wife is still getting old with time, and he is always stuck in the original appearance.
Such a hidden and ingenious arrangement seems to add another sad touch to the whole short film, but it also adds a little Zen.
Comb your hair, talk about love, watch the scenery... Perhaps these things are all things that men want to do for the rest of their wives' lives, but it is a pity that they have a life and death.
Ben watched his wife grow older day by day, it is a sad and regrettable thing, so on top of such regrets, but can not accompany her side, leaving her alone, is not more worried?
So the full of regrets turned into a fantasy, continuing the story of the man's death, which was probably his dream, which seemed beautiful and warm, and reflected the real helplessness behind it with a greater impact.
The more regretful, the more sad. Hidden details make people have a different state of mind every time they watch the movie, which is where the short film makes people "impressed".
【Before and after care, details first】
Love and painting are connected, and the landscape freehand skills left by the older generation are simple in outline, but focus on the depiction of details and artistic conception, and this simple animation outlined by black and white lines is also the same.
The details echoed at the beginning and end of the short film are handled very well.
Many times the wife was knitting a scarf for her husband, and when the wife fell ill, there was still unfinished wool scattered around her, and finally the husband put on the unfinished scarf, braved the wind and snow, and worked hard to treat his wife. Although it is not clearly pointed out, the love borne by this image is also transferred from the wife to the husband with the transmission of the scarf, which is clear at a glance.
The microphone appeared twice. I remember when I was young, men were still slightly disgusted with such a confession of girls, but when they were old, they were reversed, and when they were old, he also began to do these childish and boring things, which highlighted the changes that men made for their wives, and also fit the mutual payment of such a love, and they did not forget each other.
The bridal wedding dress that he could not afford when he was young, and when he was old, he worked hard, but he still could not afford to buy it, and he could only barely buy a small veil, even if he completed his wife's most insignificant wishes. The veil that finally flutters also heralds the death of her husband, her unfulfilled wishes, and her desire to float to the sky.
The most touching thing is the pendulum that keeps shaking, as time passes by second by second, with the climax of the music, the picture of the old man desperately resisting the pendulum has also become the tear point of everyone's emotional release.
Probably like the background music of this short film, called "Endless Road", Endless Road —
When you cry
No matter how sunny the day is, I feel sad
When you smile
Even if you are wet by the rain, you feel that it is love
A song, a film, it is as if you understand the years.
Before and after care, placed in the years, is probably not a literary "metaphor" or "foreshadowing" can be interpreted, but a memory. Just like the elderly like to use bright and tacky memes, like to wear the flower cloth clothes that were popular in the old days, and like to do the childish things they did when they were young.
It's not that they have lower receptivity than young people, or that they're "rejuvenated", it's that they're really old, their memories are becoming more and more blurred, but they don't want to forget.
Therefore, they will use their dull senses and movements to repeat the things they experienced, romantically, or regretted in their youth again and again, which seem silly to look now, but they are only in their own way to resist the decline of memory and express the devotion to the love that has been waiting for a lifetime. Chat for comfort.
Because I remember, it is touching.
【Return to simplicity, realistic and meaningful】
So from this, I can't help but think of many Chinese film and television works, but also spent manpower and financial resources, but most of them are sensational, upside down black and white, and it is not as profound and moving as a five-minute Japanese short film.
In fact, the spirit of ingenuity and humanistic inheritance that we have passed down for five thousand years in China should have more essential things worth excavating, and "Charlotte Troubles" once used a bowl of fennel noodles to capture the hearts of tens of millions of viewers; "I repair cultural relics in the Forbidden City" is also based on the perspective of ordinary people to reveal the glory of history.
However, such masterpieces, in the end, are few, and now most commercial productions are too impetuous - star-making, traffic casts, dog blood love, gradually become a "routine", a replicable model, whether it is culture or history, has become a fragmented fast consumption in Weibo WeChat, with traffic and gimmicks as the goal, few people thin water flow long to do such a delicate and warm thing, but also gradually lost the original intention and touch.
Haven't your loved ones knit scarves for you?
Hasn't someone you love served you a glass of water?
The original intention, but from the most real life.
The short film is based on real life as the starting point, coupled with the details of the polishing and cutting, to construct such an enduring excellent work, because it is too simple, as if it is what happened to you - you will eventually usher in that day, the sun is just right, and you also watch the relatives who have knitted scarves for you, and you are gradually drifting away, you can't stop. True understanding is more likely to resonate with people.
When a leaf falls and knows autumn, it is realized when the love is realized. I think this is the most intelligent state of freehand. Just as "Time Pendulum" does not teach us the "big truth" of the long-term emphasis, we can easily capture the emotional truth conveyed in the film - "cherishing happiness".
Cherish the blessing - cherish the time is not too hasty young, regret the dear person in front of you, not contemptuous, not to live up to;
Xi Fu - let this life that is not long and not short, also live in such a person, can cross life and death, in the depths of memory, waiting by each other's side.
Therefore, it is a blessing to say that the road is simple, and it is also a blessing to walk and cherish.
May the great love of the world last forever.
