2011年,加拿大詩人謝恩·科伊贊(Shane Koyczan)寫過一首詩《時至今日》(To This Day),講到自己孩童時期遭受欺凌的成長經歷。后來,他以這首詩作為藍本制作了一部動畫短片,由86位動畫設計師聯合打造,各自制作一段20秒以內的內容,最終形成全片。
短片在Youtube發布后,引發強烈反響。很多網友都表示,在其中看到了自己的影子。
后來,在TED演講中,謝恩再次精彩地重演了這個作品。
詩文中,有一段是這樣寫的:
“We weren't the only kids who grew up this way
To this day
Kids are still being called names
The classics were
Hey stupid
Hey spaz
Seems like each school has an arsenal of names
Getting updated every year
And if a kid breaks in a school
And no one around chooses to hear
Do they make a sound?
Are they just the background noise
Of a soundtrack stuck on repeat
When people say things like
Kids can be cruel?“
“We are graduating members from the class of We Made It, not the faded echoes of voices crying out, ‘Names will never hurt me. ’ Of course they did. ”
“我們的成長,是靠自己努力克服這些,而不是反復的騙自己’我永遠不會被這些侮辱的外號所傷’,它們當然會傷害你。”
“But our lives will only ever always continue to be a balancing act that has less to do with pain and more to do with beauty.”
“但是我們的生活本來就是如此,不斷在喜怒哀樂之間平衡反復,更少的回味痛苦,體驗更多的美。”
