Boy & the World
The beautiful thing about this film is how it works for both. A 10-year-old kid looking for a fun animated story. And, my group of stoned high boys in their mid-20s looking for multiple artistic stimuli in a film
For the 10-year-old, it’d be a beautiful tale about a young boy who goes on a journey to find his lost father. The boy gets to experience colorful and musical adventures. Where he makes new friends and understands the importance of saving the planet.
And if I had to pitch this to my stoned high friends. It’d be the story of a kid whose father quits on his family due to the pressure brought by industrialization. His kid finds one of his father’s crystals. What follows is the journey of a kid who is on a trip to find his father. Where the slowly inducing trips from the crystal take him through visual poetry of colors and patterns. While a banger soundtrack plays in the background.
