Imprinted

The Red Balloon

This is one of the very first films I ever remember watching. This movie and "The White Stallion " (Chin-Blanc), and they are very similar films.

At the end of both of these films, the protagonist is taken away by their wild companion, away to the unknown.
In the White Stallion the boy and the stallion ride into the surf, to certain death..or? I remember being aghast at this, even then ( I am thinking I was 4?) my practical side was fighting with the fantasy of it. But they will die!!



I wonder how much these images have affected me.
