Boy and the World ventures into an animated abyss & what I pleasantly found, is a joyous journey worthy of experiencing.
Directed và animated by Alê Abreu, his vision created a beautiful & energetic film full of great visuals & music.
This wordless animated gem has finally made it to our shores, four years after its release internationally, và boy has it been worth the wait.
This colourful joyride is one that we insist you make & see the world through the eyes of a little boy.
It's filled with striking moments, but the general effect is more suitable to a midnight audience than a children's matinee.
In this film, Abreu takes many risks that pay off in terms of an aesthetic shift in styles và a masterful use of music, sounds and silences that are at once relevant & in harmony with the visual storytelling.
Considering the film's conspicuous music & fluid, colorful, dizzying tapestry, it seems that Abreu is more concerned with evoking emotions than presenting a clear arc. Until, that is, the very end, when he wields his sledgehammer.
...the Brazilian film Boy và the World by the director Alê Abreu... Reminds you of what can be accomplished in this medium.

Boy and the World is a marvelously imaginative parable about the quest for connections through encounters with city life, poverty, economic inequality, the trashing of the environment, và manifold injustices. This animated feature by Brazilian writer và director Ale Abreu will appeal lớn serious kids và adults seeking a cinematic experience that is both edifying và out-of-the-box. There is no screenplay, & the lead character is a little boy who does not speak and repeatedly breaks out into giggles when surprised or mystified. Others speak, but all we hear is gibberish.
When we meet the boy he is growing up in a rural wonderland where he enjoys exploring the natural world of flowers, streams, trees, và big sky. He is saddened when his beloved father leaves for the đô thị in hopes of finding a job. It isn"t too long before that the boy decides lớn go find his dad.
On this quest, he encounters an agricultural worker"s camp; field hands on stilts picking cotton; a factory; a đô thị filled with slums; military rule; the omnipresence of truyền thông ads; và a live action montage of environmental disaster and destruction. Thankfully, the boy is the recipient of the kindness of strangers & the companionship of a stray dog. He also is pulled into new adventures through the hotline of music.

The creative animation of Boy & the World is appealingly simple, colorful, direct, & open-ended. Abreu uses paints, pens, pencils, newspaper and magazine collage lớn tell his story. One of the best things about this animated feature is that you can see it as the rite of passage of a boy into adulthood or as a parable exploring the childhood of Latin American nations, as Abreu has suggested in several interviews. Either way, it is one of Most Spiritually Literate Films of 2015.
