Alike short film

[@qoryroh3893]

This short movie has a deep meaning. It showed us that most of people lost their creativty and their happiness because of system. Working like a robots, studying things thay they actually don't like it. To anyone who read this, if you're a student like me, don't be sad. Maybe you feel unconfident cause you have bad score in some classes, but it's okay. I know everyone have their own unique things. Please, educate yourself. Dont kill your passion and creativity. When something sparks your interest, read about it. Learn about it. Don't rely on school system and educate the beautiful mind of yours. 💞

[@schleepy6362]

I really like how the short didn't really offer a magical solution at the end, like the whole world goes colorful or the dad quits his job or something. Just suggests that there are fun, happy, creative, "colorful" things in life that you have to discover yourself, and not let the rest of the dullness ruin those little things for you. Such a positive, constructive message.

This really touched me. It's not a novel story by any means, to be non-conformist in a society that demands so much. To encourage creativity and difference, it's found in a lot of stories... But I think the way that message was conveyed.. That was beautiful. Only a couple of words (school and work) but an extremely big message. Everything about the short was wonderful and I had a great time watching. Actually made me cry, haha. Tho it's really late so I could be over-reacting just a little. But I know for a fact that my appreciation for the story itself and how it was told isn't me being dramatic. This is definitely an authentically good little short film. I hope ya'll are proud for making it.

[@kaylabrownell1268]

I liked the creative way his son drew little doodles that also incorporated the letters of the ABC's, but was also very sad that no one praised his unique style.

[@raphaellepepin2034]

This has such a strong message. You must not only think of work but enjoy the little things and take the time for them. The love of the father for his kid was everything, and that was shown as he turned blue at the end of each day when he hugged him. That "little thing" is what made him happy after work. However, when the kid started to turn grey and sad, we could see the father at his downfall and the kid at a depressive state because he couldn't enjoy the music. Also when he started to be sad, it showed how he didn't have any motivation as he couldn't enjoy anything he asked for. His dad couldn't find the balance, until this day where he realised his kid lost his joy, as well known as its yellow color. The green letters symbolised how he was fully motivated, happy, enthusiastic to a handwriting that shows the audience how the kid was tired of thinking of only work. I love this mini animation as it is telling us that we can't only think of work, but we need to find the balance. We can't only have fun, and we can't only think of work. We live in a place where we're surrounded by working industries, but we can definitely take time for ourselves whether you're young or old. We need to find a balance in order to be happy. It is saying that we need to find time for ourselves, even though we need to work. Enjoying little things will simply help to change our ideas, and to have fun. Doesn't mean you are a grow-up that you can't have "free-time" for yourself because everyone deserves a rest during the day. This is what I think they're trying to tell us, and I find it really clever. The change of colors really had an impact on the understanding of this mini film. The power of muted animation is that anybody can understand it their own way, and I love it. It made my day. I wanted to take the time and share this to make people realise how powerful is this short film, it is awesome. Remember: It isn't because you're a grow up with a lot of work that you can't take time for yourself.

What I found most interesting about this story is how long it took for the child to forget his true identity and how quickly he remembered it. That's really how I think it works. We resist with all our strength the message from culture that we are somehow less than beautiful, wise, loving, creative and infinite. Eventually, most of us succumb to the endless onslaught. We forget. But not really. It is impossible for the flame of Who We Really Are to ever go out entirely. And sometimes all it takes is the gentlest of reminders for us to see the truth. I see it every day with my clients. A new light in their eyes. A spark of recognition. A hidden emotion rising up in them in response to a brief moment of clarity. I don't need to add anything to this system. The best (and only) service that I offer as a Transformative Coach is to point. I simply do my best to point them in the direction of their already present wholeness, peace, clarity and happiness. Not because I always know the way there, but because I trust that they will know it when they really see it. To some this may not seem like much of a service. Where are the goals? Where's the motivation and rah rah rah? Where's the advice and instructions and strategy? I'm not questioning that those things may have their place. But my experience with myself and my clients is that they just aren't as necessary when we remember Who We Really Are. It's an odd service to offer, this pointing. But I love it. And my client's lives are changing. So many messages in our world are designed make us forget Who We Really Are. I'm glad that it's my job to help us remember. www.energyrichliving.com

[@fadilaali4300]

This is just a great depiction of what the world has become with the educational system and job economy taking away the natural freedom of creativity and independent thinking that humans crave to be happy and fulfilled. I've observed this even with people in general, how the free rebellious ones end up having the more fulfilled colorful life, and how the Normsters, who've had their natural creativity snatched by society's conventions are left with a routine, lackluster, color-dry life. I was almost one of them too. But we actually seem to be veering off from that direction. People are again waking up or "coloring up" and taking back control. Lastly, I think the orange character is such a cute kid. Such a funny look.

No one wants to treat Student:A ,Student:B, and Student:C as individuals and learn how said Student:A may processes given information differently from their piers.

I like how the title can have so many different meanings to it. It can represent how similar everyone in the city is to one another, but it also shows how similar the father is to his child. I've noticed that the film focuses of the relationship of the two characters instead of the world around them. A good example is when the two are having deep moments together, the world fades away, leaving only the two of them to be seen by the viewer. Great film super cute story.

Violins are really expensive

Not for a beginner, and at least the little boy’s interest in music could have been nurtured.

I'm guessing that at first when we are kids we have so many ideas and creativity however this becomes stunted in our education following a job or career that people hate doing and instead of enjoying life they are hating it. The father, on the other hand, loves his kid and his kid is his happiness his sunshine that he looks forward to hugging after school and the fact that he gets his color back must mean his son gives him a little light in his bleak and boring life. The child starts out all happy and excited as yellow is a color that represents those feelings but as he continued further he started to lose his color and for the child the thing that made his life worth looking forward too was the fact the guy with the violin was not doing what everyone else was doing. The violinist had color I think it was red or something which could represent passion and his surroundings was colorful as well. It was reallly sweet seeing the two bond together and keeping their colors their creativity when the violinist wasnt there that day and the father pretended to be the violinist. Also the Father noticed his kid was sad and he cared about his son's happiness which leads him to stop by the tree where the violinist normally would be before school.

Un vídeo muy conmovedor, pero desgraciadamente son las mismas autoridades educativas quienes imponen un sistema basado en calificaciones en donde se exigen evidencias de trabajo y se deja de lado otras cualidades que forman parte del desarrollo integral de los alumnos. Por eso depende de cada adulto, docente y padre de familia poner nuestro granito de arena para mantener esa alegría, chispa y capacidad de asombro en los niños.

Moral of the story, be the parent you need to be and let your child grow. Don't keep forcing them to astray from their happiness and interests. Be who you wanna be instead of making a false person.

Los adultos parecemos los docentes cumpliendo con los productos del CTE, Monótonos, aburridos, pareciera que estamos llenando formularios con una muy poca o nula plasticidad del pensamiento, incluso a veces hasta haciendo tiempo para cumplir con un horario, tristemente llegamos a considerar eso normal y hasta bueno si entregamos todos los productos en tiempo y forma (algunos todavía piensan que entre mas se entregue es mejor). bueno, seguramente es lo que reproducirán nuestros alumnos

It’s not a bad message, it’s life. Very few end up making a living and supporting their families in a creative or artistic job, but here a balance is found. And the father and son connected in the end. Their relationship could’ve end up worse. Cat's in the Cradle, 1974 by Harry Chapin My child arrived just the other day He came to the world in the usual way But there were planes to catch, and bills to pay He learned to walk while I was away And he was talking 'fore I knew it, and as he grew He'd say "I'm gonna be like you, dad" "You know I'm gonna be like you" And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon Little boy blue and the man in the moon "When you coming home, dad?" "I don't know when" But we'll get together then You know we'll have a good time then My son turned ten just the other day He said, thanks for the ball, dad, come on let's play Can you teach me to throw, I said, not today I got a lot to do, he said, that's okay And he walked away, but his smile never dimmed It said, I'm gonna be like him, yeah You know I'm gonna be like him And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon Little boy blue and the man in the moon "When you coming home, dad?" "I don't know when" But we'll get together then You know we'll have a good time then Well, he came from college just the other day So much like a man I just had to say Son, I'm proud of you, can you sit for a while? He shook his head, and he said with a smile What I'd really like, dad, is to borrow the car keys See you later, can I have them please? And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon Little boy blue and the man in the moon "When you coming home, son?" "I don't know when" But we'll get together then, dad You know we'll have a good time then I've long since retired and my son's moved away I called him up just the other day I said, I'd like to see you if you don't mind He said, I'd love to, dad, if I could find the time You see, my new job's a hassle, and the kids have the flu But it's sure nice talking to you, dad It's been sure nice talking to you And as I hung up the phone, it occurred to me He'd grown up just like me My boy was just like me And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon Little boy blue and the man in the moon "When you coming home, son?" "I don't know when" But we'll get together then, dad We're gonna have a good time then

The message of the film is that the creator is a dumbfuck who thinks poetry, literature, art, music theory, math, history, and science, are all just repetitive busy work with no meaning or value.

I love this. At my daughters school they started using a method called "exploring writing" They went on some school trip (close by or a bus trip away), the next day they made some art about what they had seen, and THEN they would write. With the letters the knew or just doodles. Learning to write through the force of having something to say was super effective (Y)

[@karyley3975]

Exactamente eso sucede con la carga administrativa que la SEP nos pide y los contenidos obsoletos que aun están en los libros, la evaluación y la exigencia para con los alumnos, necesitamos una revisión seria y urgente de todo esto.

[@fisimat]

Si no lo hacen es porque realmente no importa, la educación pende de un hilo administrado por la OCDE, del FMI, del BM, o la agenda 2030. Es crear trabajadores bajo un mismo sistema, no de gozar las libertades como quisiéramos. Y por ese mismo camino van todos. Imagina que en México cada sexenio es una nueva pseudo reforma educativa trayendo más de lo mismo. Nunca dejamos que un sistema interno tenga más años de estudio y de aplicación. Pero bueno, tenemos que conformarnos.
