The Red Balloon

honestly a perfect portrayal of childhood innocence with a very wholesome narrative and backstory. the effects used throughout are simple yet very clever, and the ending is as beautiful as it is climactic. people should watch short films instead of short-form content

c’est beau que ce soit en terme d’image mais aussi d’histoire.

Not gonna lie, if a balloon followed me around for days and never showed signs of deflating, I’d assume there was something magical going on, too. It’s such a poignant ending and a reminder of how cruel people can be about something simply because it brings someone else happiness, but it also delivers the message that there will be more goodness, more happiness, you just need to be open to it.
