For The Birds
"For The Birds" has no narrator, the story tells itself. Instead the way the film plays out narrates the story because as the film goes on one sees and understands whats is going on, with out having a narrator tell the story.
The spectators supply the meaning of what is being presented in this film, because the spectators know that the blue bird is being look down on by the little small birds at the start of the film.
Information that we provide to understand the film is, we know the whats going on in the film even though theres no narrator to guide us through . Other information that we provide is our understanding of the situation that is at hand .
The story is realist because everything happens in a chronological order during the same time period. The story is not arranged in any particular way, it is very "straight forward".
This short film with out a doubt is a comedy. Because just the thought of the film being a animation gives it a comical appearance. The plot supports the comical genre of this film because it is amusing to see the situation the small birds are put in. Also the irony involved with this film makes it even more amusing to watch.
In this film the small birds represent a ungenerous human trait because when the birds saw the big blue bird he was being outcasted from the rest of the group. The big blue bird represents a curious human trait because even though the blue bird did not physically fit in with the small little birds he was curious to go see what the small birds were doing.

I love this short film! Pixar makes the cutest little short films! They just make me keel over in laughter!
ReplyDeleteThis was a nice choice in film Allie!
And your analysis was niiice. Short and sweet and to the point, I like that! Everyone else's was kind of long and tedious to read(but I read it anyway).
Anyways, it can also represent society as a whole--you know, the big bird being the outcast? Society nowadays doesn't follow such a norm anymore--it's more like, the more out there you are, the stranger you are, the more people are interested in you. But I digress. This film also probably represents how Society tends to push out or isolate the ones who don't fit in. But heeey. What do you know? Karma. It's such a sweet thing. :]
So from your analysis, I could deduct you thought the film was humorous and what, ironic and realistic.
Just like I asked Jasmine, I'll ask you:
How was the film dude? Funny ain't it? xD
This is a great short film, I chose also a similar Pixar movie and i find it amazing how they can make a 5 minute long film without any dialogue. It's without a doubt a great film.
ReplyDeleteAlejandro I loved your short film "for the birds" and enjoy most pixar short films because they have a significance to societies standards. I agree with you on your interpretation of the big blue bird being singled out by the others as well as it's curiosity to go to the smaller birds. Thus showing how physical appearance can cause seperation and the outcasting of those who are different in society.
ReplyDeleteI really like your analysis of this short film. It's pretty funny as the audience knows that the little birds will be launched even though they dont realize it. Overall I love the animation films and this one definitely goes with the humor this genre commits to.
