Synopsis 故事大綱
Energy is a film about self healing and the coping of losing a loved one. Told in a non-linear narrative, the main charater walks through a world within the vortex caused by the trauma of a loved one’s suicide. In a world where nothing feels right anymore, she develops a defence mechanism through engaging in dysfunctional relationships, and unknowingly starting to create a split personality. At the edge of breaking apart, she came to the realisation that connecting with oneself and self healing is the cure to the hole in the heart.
《Energy》是一部關於自我療癒與面對摯愛離世的音樂影像。透過非線性敘事，主角行走於因摯愛自殺創傷而產生的漩渦世界中。在這個一切都變得不對路的世界裡，她透過失能的關係去建立自己的防禦機制，自我卻在不知不覺中開始分裂。在即將崩潰的邊緣，她終於意識到，與自我連結並進行自我療癒，才是填補內心空洞的解藥。
Director’s Statement 導演闡述
“What would I have done?” is a thought that everyone had when we lost a loved one. After hearing the artist’s personal experience of losing a sibling from suicide, we created a story around the birth of a creature that embodies strength as a defense mechanism she felt she needed, while losing her own self identity to it. To give that “good old times” feeling, I was inspired by children’s books and tv shows in the 90s like The Fimbles and I Spy books, for a soft hazy look and fuzzy texture. At the same time, the change from pink to blue, human to beast, and the loss of colour tells her experience in a fantastical way. In the end Energy is all about self love and we hope it can bring solace to people dealing with pain and grief.
「我當時會怎麼做？」是我們失去摯愛時，每個人都曾浮現過的念頭。聽到歌手親身經歷她的兄弟姐妹自殺過世後，我們就構思了一個圍繞著一個象徵著她當時所需要的防衛機制的生物的誕生，同時她卻逐漸失去了自我認同的故事。我受到90年代兒童讀物與電視節目的啟發，如《The Fimbles》和《I Spy》系列，營造出那種柔和朦朧的美好時光的懷舊感覺。與此同時，我運用從粉紅變成藍色主色，從人變為野獸，以及色彩的流失訴說她的心路歷程。說到底Energy是自愛的故事，我們希望這部作品能為正在經歷痛苦與悲傷的人帶來慰藉。
