全球矚目的第91屆奧斯卡金像獎終於揭曉!今年獲得奧斯卡最佳動畫短片的是皮克斯首位華裔女導演石之予執導的《包寶寶》。這部溫情的影片觸動了全球無數華人的內心,也贏得了電影屆的一致好評。另外,《綠皮書》等奪獎大熱也收穫頗豐。
Toronto-raised director Domee Shi has won her first Oscar for her animated short film Bao.
在多倫多長大的導演石之予執導的《包寶寶》獲得第91屆奧斯卡最佳動畫短片獎,這也是她首次獲得奧斯卡獎。
Shi wrote and directed the Pixar production, about a Chinese-Canadian woman and her little dumpling that miraculously springs to life.
《包寶寶》由皮克斯動畫工作室出品,石之予擔任編劇和導演,講述的是一位加拿大華裔女性和一個神奇地「活過來」的「小包子」的故事。
先來感受一下影片的溫情瞬間:
導演石之予解釋說,《包寶寶》的英文名為《Bao》,既是指中國美食「包子」,也是指父母心中的「寶」(孩子)。
Bao tells the story of an aging Chinese mom suffering from empty-nest syndrome who gets another chance at motherhood when one of her dumplings springs to life.
影片講述了一位空巢老年華裔母親的故事,當她的一隻小包子「活過來」之後,她又做了一回母親。
To all of the nerdy girls out there who hide behind their sketchbooks — don’t be afraid to tell your stories to the world,」 Shi said onstage in her acceptance speech.
石之予在臺上發表獲獎感言時說:「我要對所有躲在寫生簿後面沉默寡言的女孩兒們說,要大膽地把你們的故事講給所有人聽。」
It's been quite the year for Chinese Canadian Shi, who with Bao became the first woman to ever direct a short at animation giant Pixar. And even before the short premiered last June, Bao and its young director were winning praise for the film's loving treatment of the sometimes intense and protective love that children of Chinese parents can experience.
對於加拿大華裔石之予來說,今年收穫頗豐。她是著名的皮克斯動畫工作室首位執導動畫短片的女性。《包寶寶》體現出華人子女感受到的時而強烈又有保護性的父母之愛,是一部親情治癒系影片。在去年6月首映之前,《包寶寶》和年輕的導演石之予就因此備受讚譽。
Shi, who was born in Chongqing, China, immigrated with her parents to Toronto at a young age. She used her upbringing and love of food as inspiration for Bao.
石之予出生在中國重慶,年幼時隨父母移民到加拿大多倫多。《包寶寶》的靈感來自她個人的成長經歷和對美食的熱愛。
Bao shone a spotlight on the impressive talent, tasty Chinese eats, and cultural richness for which Torontonians are so rightfully proud.
《包寶寶》以感人的藝術才華、美味的中國食物和多倫多人引以為傲的文化多樣性成為奧斯卡的焦點。
When it was released, Asians in Canada and across North America were touched by the way Bao so accurately (and adorably) depicted their realities. The details in the family's home, the way Ma shows her son love with a feast of dishes, the trip to a Chinese grocery, the stop into the bakery to pick up fresh pastries — all of it was so carefully recreated by Shi and her team (her mom even gave the animators dumpling-making lessons), and it hit home in a big way.
《包寶寶》上映後,加拿大和整個北美地區的華人都深受感動,影片如此精準又美妙地勾勒出了他們的現實生活。家中的細節、母親用一大桌豐盛的美食表達對兒子的愛、去華人雜貨店購物、途中在麵包店買新鮮甜點……石之予和製作團隊用心重現了這一切(石之予的母親甚至教動畫師做包子),影片直抵人們的內心。
