A Broken Star is a lovely animated short film by Ejun Hong about a star learning to shine again by helping others. 鑲嵌在柔和的光芒中, 寶石色調的外太空, 星星是一種類似植物的生物，可以接受和實現孩子的願望. 而其他明星則顯示健康、綠色, 我們的星星是黃色的，葉子枯萎了, 渴望看著其他明星實現自己的願望. When our star receives a wish from a struggling child asking how they can shine like others, the star begins to shine again, wanting to share its love to help the child and learning to love itself in the process.
破碎的星星 is a gentle experience. Hong tells her story with no dialogue, using a deliberately craftsy style to take the audience back to childhood. Animations are emphasized with quiet clockwork ticking, floating objects are lifted with string and paper clips, and our wilting star is patched together with pieces of tape. Everything works to create a sense of nostalgia and simplicity. 在整部電影中, the art is the true star.
As lovely as the dreamscape is, the storytelling gets a bit fuzzy towards the end. Written words are used to narrate the child’s wish and the end of the film. The words work during the wish, but once we get to the end, narration explains what happens instead of showing the star beginning to shine again, weakening the ending. Seeing our star turning green and healthy, maybe regrowing their leaves while the child uses their old leaves to stand out and shine, would have been more impactful and better suited for the style of the film.
總體, 破碎的星星 is an enchanting, well-animated film held together by the strong emotional core at the heart of its simple story. I give it four out of five stars.
