暮光乐园-旧日时光 Original

This short film revolves around the themes of "nostalgia" and "memories". Explore the eternal proposition of loss and relief. Through a poetic and philosophical story, explore the passage of memory, the weight of life and human desire for eternity. At the last moment of life or in a dream, we will take the first perspective as the guide to enter a memory space where virtual and real are intertwined. Here, memory is no longer linear, but exists in a fragmented and granular form, forming a shocking visual picture. The short film tries to make the audience think about "what is nostalgia" through this surreal dream core expression technique.

This short film is divided into four parts.

1. Memory corridor: Standing in a long corridor from the first perspective, each door on the wall of the corridor leads to a different memory space. A mysterious suitcase is placed in the center of the corridor. The appearance of the suitcase is simple but exudes an indescribable sense of weight, as if it carries the memories and emotions of the protagonist of the story.

2. Memory space on the left: Open the door on the left, and there is a star-like memory universe in front of you. The amusement rides that symbolize the childlike in memory have long been dilapidated and floated in the void in the form of particles, as if they were decomposed into countless flashing points of light by time. Sporadic souls wander in the memory space, and their shapes are vague and transparent, as if they are the remnants of memory. Gradually approaching, these particle-like amusement equipment began to float in the wind, symbolizing the fragility and elusiveness of memory.

3. Memory space on the right: Behind the door on the right is a "dream core style" swimming pool. The water waves flow in the space in an abstract form, reflecting colorful light and shadow. The atmosphere here is in stark contrast to that on the left side, which is more relaxed and soft, symbolizing the emotions of the other side of the protagonist's memory - those forgotten beauty, childlike moments.

4. Dissipation and reconstruction of memory: When returning to the corridor from the right space, the suitcase was still lying quietly in place, but the thoughts of the protagonist of the story became blank. The camera switches, and the memory corridor gradually turns into a sea of flowers under the sunset. The suitcase floats in the sea of flowers. It shines in the breeze, as if carrying the protagonist's last hope and awakening.
