This film perfectly embodies human existence on so many levels. I particularly love it because years ago we had a rocking chair that my boys loved. It was a fort, it was a car, it was whatever they chose to make it and they loved it. They, like the children in the film, have moved on with their lives, but not away from the family. Most importantly, this short film captures the fact that as much as our technology takes us out of the past and into the future, the past still manages to come along with us in so many ways.

Terminei de assistir. É incrível como há 40 anos atrás um único artista teve a sacada de fazer uma história capturando os momentos chave da vida humana, o que já não é tarefa fácil, mas que se torna ainda mais rico por ter sido feito pela perspectiva de um objeto. Inclusive, chega a ser poético uma história sobre a vida começar com a criação de um objeto, e não no nascimento de um homem. Acho que talvez isso se dê por se tratar de uma cadeira de uma época anterior à obsolescência programada, como diz o meu pai, "época que as coisas eram feitas para durar". A vida e o tempo talvez sejam grandes demais para uma história sobre um humano. É preciso algo que dure mais para contá-la, e a cadeira sorridente foi uma grande escolha.

What is the symbolism of abstract art being so benign in the end? Is it the idea that the Quiet Revolution is a product of the 1960s, and that it reawakened respect for French history and identity? It seems to me that the traditional New French identity collapsed not so much with the industrialisation as with the decline of the old religious society, which was partly pretty urban and industrial. In spite of a certain cultural flowering, it seems to spell death or at least total marginalisation for French Quebecois due to slashed fertility rates.

Some 20 years after I first watched this as a child, I have come to an interesting discovery. At least for me. This whole 15 min film is a greater piece of art than all those minimalist and avant garde crap could ever hope to be. Both technically and emotionally. I guess it is no coincidence that in it, the children are more attracted towards a wooden rocking chair than the supposed art in the museum. Just sayin.

+LEBLEU JULES Humans from each part of our planet,have thrived in a way that is specific to each of these parts .They have developed specific intelligences linked to the problems that each particular nature of each place gave them to solve for their survival and adaptation . From Xhosa storytellers of the Transkei to the French particularity of Quebec, each understanding of the surrounding world is a very reliable answer's element to the huge puzzle of the issues that the global humanity has to solve today . The summation of all these local and reliable features - at the scale of the whole planet - is the sole and only way for the humanity towards finding the right answers. This empirical evidence shows as well , how racism is the antithesis of all smart logical spirit . As if you wanted deny evidences like : " the union is strength "! Fred Back summed us - with an extremely rare art - the whole perception of this hard but very solid human world: this root of old France which became a beautiful tree. The whole of vibrations is too dense ,here,to pass through words . So,Back has found the best appropriate means : musical and graphic languages . The values described as well as the ways used for these descriptions , indicate that , what we call "poetry " - which is a great quality in the radiative perception of the environment - is in Frederic Back's work to the highest level.
