Amazingly beautiful, the relationship between the father and son is a stressful one. The father is most likely trying to live vicariously through his son, forcing him to try for a professional spot when all the son wants to do is enjoy the ride. The anxiety is real, even I felt it in that moment before he ran away. And I like the ending, where the son breaks free and zooms off with the wind in his hair. The father needs to realize he cannot make his son do what he doesn’t want to.
So much TENSION, between the character, so many different EMOTION, and BEAUTIFUL designs... One of my favourite short from the 2018 promo. I love the ending, the vibes, 💥Booooom Gobelins, you made it again. This one should not be missed 🏍
I read an article on, "Narcissistic Parenting." Essentially living your own aspirations and dreams through the life of your children. Making them succeed where you failed. Obviously doesn't create the best relationship. This film really exemplified the effect it can have on a kid.
Who else thinks the helmet is a symbol for his father having control over him? He has it on almost all the time, except at the end when he's on his own, and he broke free from his job. Even at 1:52, he sees his friend riding freely, who is without a helmet, and envies him. Those are my thoughts
I noticed that too, and it's my one gripe with this video. The helmet is what's keeping you somewhat safe while on the road, that friend of his isn't doing a particularly smart 'free' thing there.
Yes! So relatable! Sometimes you just wanna do something you’re good at because you like it but when your parent control it and shape it the way they want, it’s becomes pressure-filled and no longer yours. Even if it’s scary to defy your parents, it’s what’s best for your you.
"C'est mon jour aujourd'hui"… C'était la meilleure phrase pour finir le film. Les volumes sont si palpables, l'animation des motos est très bonne, les éléments du décor sont superbement détaillés et justes… Bref, visuellement excellent.
Whoah ! Juste whoah !! J'en ai les larmes aux yeux. Tout est parfait, l'histoire, l'animation, la musique, les personnages,... Le genre d'histoire qui pourrait clairement être un long-métrage !!
And is it her wife next to him ? I mean before she died ? I can't remember, let's check her face again Edit : Ah, not at all, ignore me haha, plus their son was only a baby when she died shit
Oh waw ils peuvent se permettre d’avoir Bernard Métraux ET Donald Reignoux quoi!! Pour mon film de fin d’étude j’ai dû demander à une pote de faire toutes les voix et de prendre une voix une grave pour faire un mec 😂
I have no idea what they are saying but I get a great sense of story and the relationship between the characters. That goes to show how well this short is animated
Excellent. J'étais vraiment dedans. Les personnages sont sincères et les aspects techniques m'ont apporté beaucoup de satisfaction (particulièrement la première séquence, de cross sous la pluie, puissant!)D'ailleurs, il y a un amateur de pneus crampons dans l'équipe, non? Je m'y suis cru, pendant la séquence méca'. Ça a éveillé pleins de sentiments. La bécane me manque! Mais la bécane du fiston plus que celle du daron. ;) Bravo.
No, que ansiedad tan hijueputa, querer hacer o participar en una obra de arte tan perfecta como esta, y no tener el dinero para poder estudiar en Gobelins...
Did anyone notice a grave by the road when the son left? I guess he had died, but his father can’t let him go. That’s why when he realizes the son isn’t there he gets sad, not angry.
honestly, he really didn’t have to drop the race. i mean i understand the pressure, but his dad worked hard to train him. i thought that was an asshole move to just leave like that.
What terrible shame on a father to bring ruin on a son's passion. Good on him to still keep with motorbikes after this. I would like to think he still went on to get recruited by a works team later on with his father, but I probably know better.
The son is gay but the father didn't know that, or at least tried to ignore or not to believe in that. He was always showing and "training" the son to be like him, straight. The son kept hiding the truth from his father telling him he was "going out" with his friend. But at the end the son revealed that he wasn't like his father. Then the father realised that it was true and he couldn't change that in his son.
