A Journey of Ripening. A Battle for Life. “Eros” depicts 277-day life journey through a video game setting. The main character is the battle aircraft named “Eros”, transformed from a little baby. The baby keeps moving on inside the mother’s womb, struggling against adversity and pacifying each crisis.

 

In the film, there are obstacles against the prospering of life, including the parents’ emotions and argument, and external contamination. There are also joy and expectation such as the meeting through ultrasound images. The video game setting of the film launches the fascinating adventure of the baby aircraft battling all the way to the end. “Boss” is the final threatening demon who implies the unpredictable chaos, confusing darkness, and enormous hidden power of the universe. What Boss uses to attack Eros is the violent beam of light, which symbolizes that the world outside could be bright and attractive, but at the same time unsafe and frightening. In the end of the journey, could Eros face the world fearlessly, letting out a cry that is so heartbreaking yet filling us with warmth and happiness?

 

Whether or not the pregnancy is planned, the baby is a little darling closest to us, beginning the life as an exciting adventure in the womb. The making of “Eros” reflects my attitude towards life. Can people retrieve their earliest eagerness and affection for life when misfortune and affliction befall them? Finding love and passion for life is so satisfying that we can’t help smiling with it. Life is stronger than what we think it is, and its existence is more powerful than what we can imagine. Life is wonderful. Viva la Vida!
