Жыл бұрын

A train runs into a cow on the tracks; with the captain nowhere to be found, the fireman is forced to desperately improvise in order to keep the train going.
Cordell Barker, director of the Oscar®-nominated films The Cat Came Back and Strange Invaders, is back with Runaway. Set to the rousing music of Ben Charest (Triplets of Belleville), this animated short takes you on a journey that is both funny and disastrous.
This animated short film won the Special Jury Award at Annecy International Animated Film Festival and the Small Golden Rail at Cannes Film Festival. In addition, the film was shortlisted at the Academy Award (Oscar) for Best Animated Short Film.

The causes of destruction over the journey of humanity are vein desires, greediness and disuse of money and ignorance of people!

An attempted interpretation: the train represents a society (I know, big brain) which encounters some disaster or challenge. Nobody knows who is to blame (the dog? the cow? the captain? the lady?), but the situation is that the only competent decisionmaker is out during a crisis, while his possible substitutes tragically disappear (the last wagon). For a while, nobody cares and the society manages to run on "coal" it had in reserve. Then the paysage changes from peaceful plains to dark tunnels and spiky mountains (similar to economics charts during crises maybe?), until at some point a bridge is destroyed. Due to incompetent management of remaining resources (aka pushing uphill with no acceleration) the train then faces the necessity to extract additional resources from the people in order to avoid a complete disaster. The fireman tells it to the passengers. Here is where the social boundaries dissolve - a rich man shows up in 3rd class wagon and steals some fuel, while others celebrate it as a victory. [one might think - why would a rich man steal? well, maybe such "seeing opportunities" made him rich?] The second time they had to pay for it - in other words, on a brink of a catastrophe the rich started to invest their money into resources to take the society out of trouble. The poor were happy to accept the money - assuming the train is the society, so there isn't really a way to spend the money there, I'd suggest money represent just some of rich's attributes. The poor still aren't allowed to the rich's wagon and even got stripped of what they had - but now they have the money, so they can think of themselves as of richer. Anyway, even though the initial plan probably was to carry the whole society out, the rich have then calculated that, as soon as the last piece of clothing is taken away from the poor, the other wagon is a deadweight - so they disconnected it, essentially killing the people. Interestingly, not only did they keep all their own goodies, but they also grabbed the money as the wagon was dispatch, further lowering own chances of survival and suggesting that, for the rich, money is a priority no matter at what cost [pun intended]. With these decisions made, the fragile equilibrium was finally resolved by a cautiously emerging "government", who then returned to its position victorious. However, it wasn't enough just to go uphill - the slide down was nonetheless dangerous, and eventually lead to the society perish in apocalyptic flames, starting with the "government". The cow, which has partially caused the disaster, can be interpreted as nature, as it walks by what has remained of humanity. As I see it, the cartoon is about inequality (big brain x2) and vulnerability caused by it. Assuming you can't predict an accident, the train was doomed as long as there was no one to stop it from "crossing the line of no-return" by crushing the bridge. However, what happened after has revealed that the rich will put a lot of effort into buying themselves a questionable privilege of dying the last. One can say "the train" could have made it, be the burden of the mistake more even. If the rich were more humane than greedy, they'd forsake some luxury (pool table, fancy hats) to save a baby from being burnt or the poor wagon from being dispatched. If the poor were more conscious than lasting for money, they could refuse to trade and force a negotiation. If the captain was careful, or the fireman was competent, or if the rest of staff didn't sleep, some or all the bad decisions could have been avoided. In other words, people of different social classes need to interact with each other, put humane values above materialistic ones and keep an eye on their government, in order not to die from a cow.

So... The captain gains more than the weight of a cow as he steps closer to the engine? Not sure whether the rich actually takes the money back from the working class in the same way. Pretty sure that its more indirect by simply giving themselves more to themselves than taking it back.
