I snapped a picture of this red balloon flying in the beautiful SF sky the other day, and it reminded me of the famous french short-film, The Red Balloon by Albert Lamorisse. I remembered watching and LOVING this movie while growing up. Obviously, this brought up wonderful memories and I wanted to watch it again, and in luck, I found it on Netflix.
It was precious and everything I remembered it to be. A film with few words, classic shots from old Paris, beautiful storytelling music, and deep meaning. It's a timeless film, hitting on every human emotion in the book.
My favorite part is when the young boy hitches rides under random stranger's umbrellas to keep his balloon dry on the walk home.
If you haven't watched it, I highly recommend it. Hope you are having a lovely Tuesday!
