近日,飽含中國(guó)元素的皮克斯動(dòng)畫(huà)工作室的短片《包寶寶》(Bao)獲得2019年奧斯卡最佳動(dòng)畫(huà)短片獎(jiǎng),也讓中國(guó)式親情獲得全球關(guān)注。
Bao revolves around an ageing Chinese mother who suffers from “empty nest syndrome” who gets another chance at motherhood when one of her dumplings springs to life à la Pinocchio.
《包寶寶》的故事圍繞一位患上空巢綜合征的中國(guó)中年母親展開(kāi),當(dāng)她做的一個(gè)包子像匹諾曹一樣有了生命時(shí),她又有了做母親的機(jī)會(huì)。
But as cute dumpling boy quickly morphs into an angst-filled teenager and eventually a grown-up, the mother has to come to terms with the fact that her child will not stay cute and by herside forever.
然而,隨著可愛(ài)的包子男孩迅速成長(zhǎng)為一個(gè)焦躁的青少年,并最終長(zhǎng)大成人,母親不得不接受這樣一個(gè)事實(shí):她的孩子不會(huì)永遠(yuǎn)可愛(ài),也不會(huì)永遠(yuǎn)呆在她身邊。
以“愛(ài)、家庭與美食”為主題的中國(guó)式親情故事,伴著中國(guó)風(fēng)的配樂(lè)勾起了無(wú)數(shù)觀(guān)眾的童年記憶和對(duì)深沉母愛(ài)的強(qiáng)大共鳴。
導(dǎo)演石之予(Domee Shi)是皮克斯動(dòng)畫(huà)短片制作行業(yè)的首位華人女導(dǎo)演。她祖籍四川綿陽(yáng),在多倫多長(zhǎng)大。畢業(yè)后,她以實(shí)習(xí)生的身份進(jìn)入迪士尼皮克斯電影公司,并根據(jù)自己作為華人移民的經(jīng)歷,設(shè)計(jì)制作了《包寶寶》。石之予在接受采訪(fǎng)時(shí)說(shuō):
"Food is how your parents show that they love you.They say it through fussing over you but also cooking for you, making sure you're always well-fed. So what better way to tell this story of a Chinese family than making food as a center focus?"
食物是父母表達(dá)愛(ài)意的方式,他們的愛(ài)都是通過(guò)噓寒問(wèn)暖、為你做飯、讓你吃得飽飽的表現(xiàn)出來(lái)的。所以當(dāng)我們想講一個(gè)中國(guó)家庭的故事時(shí),還有什么比把飲食放在故事中心更恰當(dāng)?shù)哪兀?/p>
