The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore / 神奇飞书的评论   4 star rating4 star rating4 star rating4 star rating 4

  整个片子记忆最深的除了飞翔的书,就是那首不断变奏的《Pop goes the weasel》.这首童谣无疑在片中占据了很重要的位置,包括大眼主人公后来写在书中的那段——
  “I go round and round
  the mulberry bush.why
  does the weasle go “POP”?
  Does it matter?If life is enjoyed
  does it have to make sense?“
  
  然后他开始跟周围的人分享屋里的的书。
  
  然后才关注到,那本飞翔的女孩子留下的蓝色书,除了左边那颗矮胖胖的蛋在变化,右边一直只有另一首童谣——
  Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall
  Humpty Dumpty had a great fall
  All the king’s horses and all the king’s men
  Couldn’t put Humpty together again
  
  两段童谣不能再熟悉,但我百思不得其解。原谅我对外国儿童文学的生疏。
  
  当大眼变回年轻,和女孩子一样被书本牵引飞翔,我想他是去往了天堂。
  
  但有一点可以确定,当一个社会追名逐利遗忘了自己终究会迎来灾难,灾难会毁灭整个物质文明,但精神世界永存并终会复兴。
  
  PS:希望了解童谣背景和运用的同学补充修正。很感谢。

  楼主看的很细心,If life is enjoyed,does it have to make sense? 这句话在短片中的地位很重的!

  在写下我的理解哈:All around the Mulberry Bush,
  The monkey chased the weasel.
  The monkey stopped to pull up his sock, (or The monkey stopped to scratch his nose)
  Pop! goes the weasel. 这首儿歌是男主很喜欢的,一开始他也在哼。后来正如你写过的那段,I go round and round
    the mulberry bush.why
    does the weasle go “POP”?他忽然理解了,然后是下边那句Does it matter?If life is enjoyed
    does it have to make sense?“ 如果你已经是在享受生活了,为什么一定要生活那么有意义呢?

  忽然觉得生活果然其实没有一定的意义可言……幸福就好

Plot

Morris Lessmore sits on a balcony in the French Quarter of New Orleans writing his memoir. Suddenly a tornado strikes, blowing Morris’s writing out of the book and blowing him off the balcony. While Morris frantically grabs for his book, the hurricane blows away the buildings.

After the storm, Morris finds the city and its residents devastated. He walks through the streets strewn with book pages and into the countryside. There he sees a woman fly past, magically suspended by flying books which she is holding with ribbons. She sends one of the books down to Morris. The book’s pages flip back and forth to animate an illustration of Humpty Dumpty, who urges Morris to follow him.

The flying book takes Morris to a library where other flying books live. Morris finds no humans there, but notices several portraits on the wall, one of which is the woman he had seen.

Morris then becomes the proprietor of the library. He takes care of the books, even saving the life of an early French edition of Jules Verne’s From the Earth to the Moon after it suffers a catastrophic injury falling from a shelf.[Note 1] He also gives out books to those who visit the library from the city still suffering from the effects of the storm. Eventually Morris begins to rewrite his memoir, sharing passages with the flying books who gather around him on the grassy hill opposite the library.

Years later Morris, now an old man, finally completes the book. Satisfied with his life’s work, he closes the book and heads for the door. The flying books swirl about him and Morris becomes young again. He then flies away, carried by flying books like the woman earlier. As he departs, his book, which had earlier been a regular book, becomes a flying book like the others, and returns to the library. Just then, a young girl arrives. She sits down on the steps of the library and begins to read Morris's book as the flying books gather around. The final scene shows Morris’s portrait added to the picture wall in the library.
