The Bell- It shows the feelings of the Lost thing
The Lost Thing- Childhood feelings (creativity, uniqueness, joy, imagination)
Train- Shows the repeating everyday cycle controlled by time
Key/Arrow Sign- Hopes for seeking a better and brand new pathway
Gray Smoke- A dull city where people lost their emotions and creativity
World with Pastel Colors- The memories that we once had but not anymore.
Theme(Message):
I believe that through this short movie, the director Shawn Tan is trying to tell us that the power of conformity and dangers of suppressing creativity and individuality. He tries to describe the things that we are hiding or we have forgotten due to the busy society that we live in without any creativity nor individuality through the lost thing. We live in an environment without any inconvenience, and this leads us to less need of creating new ideas. We tend to forget the joy and enjoyment that we would have in our childhood when be become adults. I believe that is why at the end the main character said that he doesn't see the lost thing anymore or at least not as much as he used todo.
