    I love this! here's my interpretation, the balloons are memories of people hence why he can't shake the girl's balloon in 0:58 and the black bird in the end is Alzheimer disease and since his wife died he cherishes his wife's balloon but shares his memories of her with the child he identifies with and then the cycle continues until the inevitable supernova

      I think the balloon he couldn’t shake was addiction, associated with the drugs he experimented earlier, which led to the end of that relationship.

      Here's a sweet theory: the boy at the end of the story is his grandson (if you recall, one of his sons was a blonde like the boy), and he's sharing the memory of his wife with him. The reason he doesn't remember is because of his metaphorical Alzheimer.

    I think the balloons represent memories and experiences. You should make new ones every day, but you should also share them because they'll be lost if you don't.

    The balloon represents a connection or friendship you've created. Sometimes people will make connections with you or sometimes you just use a connection to get something you need. As you age those balloons disappear and create a new one. Though you heart may be broken you cannot break it til you've learn to forget. The crow in the end is resembles his selfishness, as he hoards the balloons more pop. Keeping them to yourself. Until you learn to branch off relationships will you earn one as well.

    Huh. In German the phrase "to have a bird" literally means "to be mad/crazy". So when he got a bird... was when he started to lose his balloons, which seemed to be his memories, to what appeared to be alzheimers. I don't know whether this was purposeful, but it's still an interesting detail

    Ennél szebben nem lehet összefoglalni, miről is szól az élet. Zsepiket előkészíteni, a megható részei miatt!
    Léteznek Hála Istennek ilyen nagyszerű alkotások, amik maradandó emlékeket állítanak az örök életnek, és annak az érzésnek, amit akkor érzünk, amikor öregkorunkban utólag visszatekintünk a megélt és leélt évtizedeinkre, és eszünkbe jut: mekkora utat is tettünk meg idáig.
    Ez a film, egy zseniálisan összerakott, megható, és nagyon mély mondanivalóval rendelkező animációs kisfilm, mely többet mond minden idézetnél és szónál,
    arról, hogy mi is az élet.
    Egyesek szerint egyébként a videóban látott léggömbök nem mást szimbolizálnak, mint az életünk során összegyűjtött emlékeinket, és ahogyan egyre fogynak a léggömbök, úgy vesznek oda emlékeink is, amire megöregszünk.

    Instead of memories, I think the balloons represent his relationships and connections with people. I think his first girlfriend was possessive and wouldn't let him be around his friends or other girls, thus there was no balloons and then at the end when his wife died, I think the black bird was depression hurting all his relationships with friends and family as he isolated himself.

      @hamedsoleymani4077 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      but why did he try to protect the balloons if he himself chose to be isolated? in your way of thinking, the man and the bird are two concepts which you are merging them into one concept.. so here we face a controversy of a man fighting himself and at the same time protecting himself.. so you are seeing the scene as a self-destruction by thinking the balloons represent his relationships.. I see differently.. in my perspective balloons represent memories.. but maybe I am wrong

    They are memories. When his girlfriends breaks up with him, her memories haunts him until he meets a new girl who he marries. They grow old together and have many more experiences together. When she dies, he fiercely protects his memories has they begin to fade (the crow represents death?). But when he gives up fussing about it all and just shares with others, it all works out.

    Je pense que les ballons sont les mémoires, l'oiseau peut signifier le temps, et à la fin, le vieil homme perd ses mémoires à cause de la passage du temps et son cerveau décrépit. Le ballon dernière est le résultat de tout ses mémoires et ses expériences - ses valeurs fondamentales - et comme les autres qui sont vénus avant lui, il transmet ces valeurs aux générations futures ^^
