This is from my favorite short animation One Minute Fly by Michael Reichert. This short film describes a fly’s limited lifespan which is one minute. At the first time when I watch this short, I consider it is a inspirational story. As we can see, the fly almost finishes the list of things to do before die apparently. In fact, when you think about it, you will find that actually, he never finished anything. And I am so impressed by this image, which is the fly’s facial expression with desperation and exhaustion. He run through his life to finish a list. Flying up the highest tree and seeing the jungle from above are for enjoying the goodness of life. But he only focused on marking his list and the fear of a bird’s appearance replaced all other feelings. Then he met another fly, fell in love with her and also produced descendants. However, his girlfriend was rapidly eaten by the bird, even not finish her one minute life. He though he had done the job of reproduction, but he lost his girlfriend, let alone descendant. A beetle caught him, which was called rescuing someone by him. He was in a great hurry to do different kinds of things, And never enjoyed beautiful things. Actually, the only one thing he finished in the list was desperation. And, the most ridiculous thing is that the list of Things to Do before I Die was written by other. If this little fly could stop once and think over, maybe he would find what are the things he really want to do. There is nothing you need to do before you die. Just do what you want. Maybe they are valueless in others’ perspectives. Sometimes I really want to use that one minute to stand on the top of the tree and overlook the forest.
