Joy Story a short film that teaches great values
Hello friends yesterday I saw a short footage that gives a lot to think, If we allow ourselves to give from the heart, often, sooner or later, we will receive abundantly. This is what we discovered in Joy Story, this beautiful animated short that tells the story between a dog that goes fishing with its owner and meets an elegant and annoying heron. What happens between the two is an example of kindness, affection and understanding.
We know that there are many productions of this type. Every so often, Pixar surprises us with one of those little stories that, as a gift and exercise of reflection, always go straight to the heart ...
to conquer us. This will not be less. Arrival from China only a few months ago and directed by Kyra Buschor, Constantin Paeplow, Kenneth Kuan, seeks to open our window towards solidarity.
Also, the creatives of Passion Pictures also wanted to make a small tribute to this 2018. Within Chinese culture, as we already know, this is the year of the dog. The protagonist of this story, just over 4 minutes, is therefore a small white puppy and huge nose full of enthusiasm, but also of misgivings.
That attitude, restless and distrustful, will be destroyed by the appearance of Heron, a nice heron that in the oriental culture symbolizes goodness ...
An afternoon of fishing with many surprises
Joy, she has a happy heart, her eyes shine and her wet nose is aware of everything. He knows perfectly well that he must be very careful not to obstruct his owner's fishing.
In the short that we will see next there is no voice. The magic of the looks, the power of those faces full of expressiveness, of curiosity, of restlessness, surprise and kindness say it all. Thus, curiously, the only human figure in this story always remains behind, ignoring at all times what happens in that small little boat to which we are invited.
The plot begins with little Joy and his owner willing to start a quiet afternoon fishing. The stage is the ideal, the time more than perfect, satinating a calm so serene where nothing seems to muddy what will be a good day between a man and his little puppy.
The encounter with a strange creature
Suddenly, something happens. We see a strange and somewhat bizarre creature enter the scene. It is Heron, a nice heron that is placed right in the corner of the small boat with a very clear objective:
take the hooks, steal those juicy worms. Little Joy, does not hesitate to prevent this act, as a good dog and faithful ally of his human, rushes before the heron to frustrate his purpose ... but does not succeed. Heron takes the worm.
The scene will repeat itself several times. The heron, always skillful, expert and firm in its purpose, does not hesitate to take away those appetizing worms, thus leaving barely hooks for the fisherman and his dog.
Also, in each of those fun but frustrated struggles, little Joy always ends up losing and being reprimanded by its owner, who at no time is aware of what is happening. The only thing that he perceives is the movement of the boat ...
Give from the heart, an act with which we all win
Our protagonist is a dog that is limited to doing what he has been taught: to protect what is his, to defend his owner. However, the outcome of the story will teach us something important. It is not good to give ideas or motivations for granted. It is not appropriate to fall into rapid attributions, to remain alone with appearances ...
It is true that this bizarre bird was somewhat strange, that his image did not inspire confidence. Neither his actions seemed to be correct, but ... why did he steal the hooks? We all make attributions lightly, we all get carried away by our first impulses as little Joy does in this story.
However, if we look around we will discover that there are more worlds outside our little boat. We will realize that behind appearances and peculiar behaviors, there are magical beings with their own needs. Creatures that live beyond those mental borders that we delimit with our biases, stereotypes and labels.
The heron Heron did not steal for pleasure or the worms were for her. Little Joy understands it immediately and does not hesitate to open his heart and offer all the worms that are in the boat. What happens after that wonderful act (and solidarity) shows us the powerful effects that can have daring to give from the heart.
Small conclusion
Let's learn from this special short. Learn about this dog and this heron and do not stay like that fisherman who does not notice anything, leaving behind him the most special, magical and transcendent things in life.
