so i like the video

good to hear that you feel the same about this! when I first saw the thread,after I had watched the video, I thought that there should be someone who knows about that crazy french movie, but I got disappointed that nobody wrote about it!it was a movie that is absolutely not for kids, at least it is so touching for a kid,thats why it is stuck with us..
so again
I do like the video

Now that you mention it I remember going to see a play "La ballon rouge" at a local theater to me, when I was a kid. But still, other than it being a guy and a what's meant to be a balloon, I fail to see any other parallels.

oh look what I found 'La Ballon Rouge' and a longer clip here. It's clear to see where the inspiration for the video came from.

eamo_rice · 11-26-2006, 07:08 PM

I loved that video! the look on Lisa's face when she realises whats about to happen and the look on Damo's when it does; so sad. I hope that they continue in this trend now with their videos.

that was it!
I couldnt remember the name of the movie in french..
thanks for posting..

ste_swann · 11-26-2006, 07:11 PM

I agree with you eamo...this is even better than the blower's daughter video, I like videos only when they tell a story and I hope they do the same in future

Soleillily · 11-26-2006, 07:11 PM

After reading this thread last night I was expecting something totally stupid but after watching the video I instantly liked it.

I chuckled a bit but only cos of how strange the balloon thing (lisa's head floating about) is at first, but not cos it's a funny video. I think there is some good acting there by Damo and Lisa...the video suits the song and Damien well. It's very artsy, like a really obscure short indie film, and my guess is that's what they were going for since the imagery is similar to The Red Balloon. The last scene is my favourite...

What's wrong with Damien's red jacket? I quite like it...
I also just noticed that Lisa's eyes are green...I always thought they were brown.

theninthcrime · 11-26-2006, 07:14 PM

yeah wonder what the next vid will be---- my guess rootless tree??? i loved the video but the whole relationship between lisa and damo puzzles me in it?? just like blowers daughter vid.....lisa looked amazing in that and it really looked real....she looked kinda scary in this vid bodyless tho??

Topspin047 · 11-26-2006, 07:16 PM

yes it is like an abstract indie film...great props.

and red is a nice color on damo.

walker · 11-26-2006, 09:13 PM

the video is definately amazing. The "balloon" makes everything seem so innocent..I dont know, you know what I mean? In contrast with the lyrics

Cali · 11-26-2006, 09:39 PM

how sad and how beautiful.
is that movie 'le ballon rouge' available in video or something? i want to see it

SisterMidnight · 11-26-2006, 10:12 PM

i can't find it for purchase anywhere claudia, but i really want to see it again now too, so i'm trying to download it but it's going very slowly. it was made in 1956 and won an Academy Award and Cannes for best short film that year..

i had completely forgotten about that film, but watching the video it all came back to me.. it was like one of the almost lost childhood memories that resurfaces.. the clip loveless posted (thanks brendan!) really shows the similarities i think, and what you said about his jacket being red - the only color that really stands out in the video is red.. damien's jacket, the leaves, lisa's lips.. i definitely think it was inspired by the film..

Daniel · 11-26-2006, 10:21 PM

and from wikipedia

Wheels · 11-26-2006, 10:22 PM

Seems there was a sequel in 2000, 'The Revenge of the Red Baloon'... "The Balloon is back... And he's pissed!!! The Red Balloon returns to hunt down the bad little boys (now middle-aged Frenchmen) who popped it in the original classic film 40 years ago."

*edit* I see Building's wikipedia reference also mentions it... Beaten by moments...

lalla32 · 11-26-2006, 10:22 PM

Oh, I love it! <3 I think it has the perfect mood for Damien's work...

Thank you so much for sharing it on you tube!

Shot entirely in Puerto Rico, this is Moralesfilms 2nd short. We hope you enjoy it and encourage you to check out Lamorisse's film and other shorts which it no doubt similarly inspired, such as "Billy's Ballon" and "The Revenge Of The Red Balloon".

I think there is actually a French one... a proper sequel.

I think 'The Red Baloon' should have it's own thread. You should start one with those links Building. Then we can talk about it there rather than here, which we can leave for Damien's video specifically.

borneoman · 11-26-2006, 10:52 PM

IMO it reminds me of Tori Amos's video for A Sorta Fairytale in which a girl who's just a head and a leg falls for a boy who's a head and an arm... hard to tell, better watch:

yeah, youtube didn't have that.

that other revenge one was a bit odd.

I'm all ballooned out for one night (apart from this post)

Wheels · 11-26-2006, 10:56 PM

I'll start the thread so and quote you
