At first glance, the name of the movie "Hotel Elf" was thought to be the same as "Monsters Power Company" and "Monsters University", both of which were animated films describing the life of monsters in the world. Cute monsters, interesting plots, and sophisticated 3D technology seem to be the necessary factors for today's Hollywood monster-themed animated movies. Of course, "Hotel Elf" was not "exempt", but the good news is that it spun out in this orbit. own unique story.
A "sanctuary" hotel in a monster world, a group of strange-looking zombie elves, an old-fashioned vampire count, a very young vampire and a human. What will happen when they get together?
The heroine of the story, Mavis, is 118 years old this year (but she is actually a little girl), and her father Dracula carefully prepared a birthday party for her, inviting all kinds of zombie elves to gather at the elf hotel. However, as the little girl grows up, she wants to go out of the castle to see the outside world. The party in the hotel does not raise her interest. The village beyond the forest, the world of human beings, and Hawaii where her parents spend happy time together are her. Fascinated place. Dracula was afraid that her daughter would encounter danger in the world alone, and that humans would hurt her, so she used a trick to tell her that humans are dangerous and the outside world is not exciting.
At this time, an uninvited guest appeared in the hotel. An optimistic, sunny and adventurous human boy Jonathan broke into the door. He brought fresh elements to the world of zombies, new music, new games, and new ways of living. . The two fell in love at first sight after he met Mavis, and he showed her the sunrise and encouraged her to go out. She also quietly fell in love with this boy in her heart.
The ending of the movie is of course everyone's happy, the lovers finally get married, the old antiques usher in a new life, and the zombies also reshape their "worldview".
While laughing, I always feel that this movie is not that simple, which is also the superb point of Hollywood movies, spreading the values and themes that I want to spread in silent places.
The most memorable thing is the change in Dracula's father's heart. He has always loved his daughter deeply, and in his heart, protecting his family is a man's responsibility and obligation, so he dare not let his daughter leave the castle and leave his arms. The world is dangerous and dangerous, and his daughter is still young. He can't and doesn't want to let go. It's good to be able to take care of his child for the rest of his life.
Yes, we are always children in the eyes of our parents, no matter how old we grow up or how many books we read, we are always children. But the child will grow up one day, the distance that can never be reached is always shining there, even if the thorns on the road will scratch our body, the heart to the distance is unstoppable. Even if the father can't adapt, he has to face a reality: let go. When a daughter grows up, she will leave home and meet her lover, which is really cruel to her father. Mevis fell in love with the human boy, but he was chased away by Dracula and a horde of zombie monsters. Watching her beloved daughter cry alone, Dracula uttered one of the most classic lines in the entire movie: "I always thought the worst case scenario was that you left me, but the saddest thing is that you're not happy. .” A happy daughter is what a father wants to see most, so Dracula, regardless of the danger, drove out of the castle and went after Jonathan, but it was a pity that he was a step late, and he had already boarded the plane. Dracula flew into the sky against the scorching sun, his body was scorched, black smoke was blowing during the flight, a little bat chased the plane, and neither the heat nor the sunlight stopped the father from moving forward. Under the vast blue sky, watching Dracula struggle in the air, people can't help but sigh that the father is great to the daughter, but they are only one person, and they are very small in this world, but they are in order to The daughter can use her strength, regardless of the danger, just for her daughter's happiness. In the end, of course, Dracula caught Jonathan and brought him back to his daughter. In the sky, Dracula fluttered his wings hurriedly, and a long black smoke trailed behind his buttocks. This scene seemed a bit funny, but in my opinion, it was a beautiful landscape. It was the greatest moment of a father, the most Handsome moment.
When I wrote this, I thought of another animated film "Despicable Me". A thief adopted three little girls in order to steal things, but later he really regarded them as his own children and thought about them wholeheartedly. He succeeded in stealing the moon, but got three lovely little daughters. He who stole the moon is a highly skilled thief, and he who coaxes his daughter to sleep is his most manly appearance. When a father loves his child, he is the most handsome man in the world.
The topic goes back to "Hotel Elf". Another highlight of this movie is that everyone has a childlike innocence in their hearts. There is a scene in the film where Count Dracula and Jonathan play on the table in the restaurant. The tables in the hotel are all elves. They can fly and listen to commands, so the magical sight of the table flying all over the sky naturally appears in the film. in. After a short game, Dracula is still feeling that this game is really fun!
As we grow older, some people turn themselves into old antiques, and life remains the same, but everyone actually yearns for happiness. The life of an ascetic is a lifetime, and it is also this lifetime happily. Two kinds of life, it depends on how to choose.
The film ends with Mavis' 118th birthday party, where everyone sings, dances, and laughs. Dracula, who hadn't sung since his wife died, sang rap, the old-fashioned zombies played rock, the young people were free to love each other, and everything was beautiful and colorful. Yeah, life is supposed to be Everyday is a colorful day.
