口口國片「南方小羊牧場」這麼寫下著結局：「答案真的會從天空上掉下來，但是你必須先把答案往上射出去。」，電影當中敘述一名女孩與紙飛機的愛情，不禁讓我想起前一陣子得到奧斯卡最佳動畫短片獎的「紙人Paperman」。
“The answer does fall from the sky once you learn how to shoot your answer up high.” A Taiwanese movie, "When a Wolf Falls in Love with a Sheep", describing a beautiful puppy love story with a paper air plane, reminds me of 2012 Oscar-winning best short animation, "Paperman".
口口上尉詩人James Blunt在他的經典歌曲「You're Beautiful」唱著：「And I don't think that I'll see her again, but we shared a moment that will last till the end.(我知道自己再也不會見到她，但我們共同擁有著那一個瞬間將會成為永恆。)」，多年來輕輕敲動著歌迷的心弦。世界的每一分每一秒，無時無刻不發生著小世界理論，人和人之間像是被綁著一條透明的線，彼此互相牽動著，每一個眼神相對的瞬間都會閃爍著稍縱即逝但星光燦爛的火花。
口口這樣的感受每個人都有經驗，而這也是導演John Kahrs執導這部作品的契機，他將作品當中的年代推回早些年經濟剛起步的美國紐約，使用黑白的視覺影像是為了讓故事變得純粹和簡單，他認為當兩個陌生人萍水相逢時會建立起一種連結，而當這兩個人擦身而過，從此消失在彼此的生命中時，要以什麼樣的方式去修補這樣斷裂的繫伴呢？
A lot of people share the same experience when listening to James Blunt's masterpiece, You're Beautiful, which is a moving song with beautiful lyrics:"And I don't think that I'll see her again, but we shared a moment that will last till the end." According to theory of Six Degrees of Separation, the connection between people and people is like an invisible string pulling on each other's life, and every moment of passing eye-contact on the streets is sparkling with shining fireworks and stars.
In "Paperman", the director, John Kahrs, brings us back to the early days of America. By using black and white, Kahrs shows the simple and pure relationships of that age. He believes that a special connection will be established once two different strangers meet one another and wonders what is going to happen if both of them disappear from each other's life. What is the best way to reconnect them ?

口口誰都不知道，真愛或許就在下一個街角或是下一個車站，生活中有無數個跡象都在暗示自己前進的方向，最大的敵人從來都不是別人，而是自己—當一個人決心去做一件事情時，全宇宙的力量都會幫助他來完成，「紙人Paperman」就是一個透過都會愛情來告訴大家無所畏懼地起身追求所愛的浪漫故事。
No one knows if true love might happen to be on the next corner or in the next station. There are countless signs in our lives directing the ways people can head to. The biggest enemy is never others but ourselves. And when someone makes up his mind to do something, the power of universe will help him to accomplish it. I think Paperman inspires people to be fearless of pursuing the things they really love by telling a beautiful romance taking place in a small but magical city.
