'UP' analysis

The clip we watched of the film 'up' showed the passing of time, about 60/70 years in the space of about 2 minutes. It helps that the film is animation so the time passing aspect is quicker to show although, it does give you a real idea of how you can show time passing. It starts with the kids meeting eachother, to their wedding in one camera flash. then we see them moving in together, getting older everytime, then we see the two chairs that they sit in. Then we see them decorating a baby room, then it shows them in the hospital which means they have lost the baby, then carl cheers ellie up by giving her the adventure book they made when they were younger. Then we see shots of the money pot and it breaking when they have to fix something and they keep getting oler and older everytime we see the pot break and something being fixed.Then another way of passing time is the different ties, a different tie for every day. Then we see ellie and carl walking up the hill and ellie falls then we go back to the hospital and the adventure book comes back out then we see carl at the funeral (ellie dies) then back to the house. This is showing their whole lives together in the space of about a two minute clip.
