Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Up is a 1984 short film (14 minutes) directed by Mike Hoover and Tim Huntley.A man is seen letting loose a hawk, one that he apparently had cared for. Then the man, who is obsessed with not just birds but the idea of flight, gets a hang glider and takes flight. He seems to chase after the hawk, as he soars through snow-peaked mountains and through the deserts of the Southwest. At one point he lands on a hilltop, right next to a boy, whom the man takes on a ride. Finally, after making a difficult pinpoint landing on the top of a very narrow butte in Monument Valley, the man has an accident.Not to be confused with other works titled Up such as the Pixar film or the British documentary series. Compare To Fly!, another short film that celebrates powered flight.

Icarus Allusion: The man, soaring up into the sky on his hang glider in an effort to follow the hawk, eventually falls to his death when his harness breaks. It's implied that this is the consequence of his hubris, especially after he landed on very tall, very narrow Monument Valley butte.

Lens Flare: A few shots of the camera catching birds or the glider in the air also catch the sun and produce lens flare, clearly as a way of underlining the beauty and majesty of flight.
