Strong sense of front and rear tearing, not brilliant but a high degree of completion.
1. First of all, from the overall look and feel: From a technical point of view, Pixar still completed the picture very well, especially the dark black tone of the antique store and the horror atmosphere of the famous "The Shining" soundtrack, which are amazing, and the content is from the overall situation. Look, Toy Story 4 is about female independence (shepherdess), self-awakening (Dude Duke, Woody), and the constant love between people and toys (but from people choosing toys to people choosing toys can be counted as a unique design point.) these major themes.
2. From the point of view of the story logic, in order to make Bonnie find the "fork" to rely on, Hu Di chose to give up his voice generator (symbolizing giving up to please the master and leaving). There is no problem with the logic, but it leads to the departure in the second half. The so-called innovative point of the so-called toy choice (whether with) people (life) when the owner goes to wild toys, but on the branch line of Buzz Lightyear and the two plush toys, Buzz Lightyear as the first 3 main characters Almost completely reduced to a small supporting role, he not only has no role, but even if he has a role, he has little substantive role in the whole story, such as: "Changed the mental state of Woody or others?" or "Saved someone else or something?". At the same time, the contrast between the departure of the shepherdess and the different states of the reunion (gentle dependence wild adventure) highlights the freedom and independence of women and makes the whole film "politically correct", which to a certain extent reflects the current Hollywood politics. A certain influence of the question on the creation of the story
3. Throughout the whole film, you will find that before the appearance of the Shepherdess, the direction of this film is: "The so-called whole body garbage can also be given life and value, not just garbage-fork," and to Look at the film's orientation: "adventure is the meaning of toys, and the ultimate destination of toy personification is to choose one's own life". The overall orientation of the whole film is divided, so that the front and back are not integrated, but two "parts".
4. Subversion of the worldview The theme of the first 3 parts of Toy Story is, of course, the love between toys and the love between toys and people. In the settings of the first few parts, toys exist as secret activities, and the contact with human beings is careful, but in 4, the toy is so powerful that it can control human cars, navigate, and do a series of outrageous things. Even the two plush mascots have violent intentions against humans. This subversion of the previous world view can be said to want to do something to the toys. There is some innovation in the relationship with people, but this innovation is very rough and even has some ridiculous elements.
5. Let’s talk about the two characters of "Dude Duke" and "Gabby" separately. The characterization of the Duke is the "toyization" of Hollywood's superhero image. Similar to some superhero blockbusters, it is typical from the disidentification of one's own identity caused by the commercial advertisements to the later critical moments. I personally think there is a monolithic innuendo to some of the super Hollywood blockbusters. For Gabi, she is almost indistinguishable from the Strawberry Bear in Toy Story 3. The single motive of being abandoned by her master makes her give up hope and see a little girl who is just as lost as she is. It is better to let him simply destroy it and have a deeper exploration of the relationship between toys and people.
It is undeniable that after the heights achieved in Toy Story 3, it is difficult to do toy series innovation. Maybe in today's politically correct Hollywood, the only thing that makes me feel comfortable is that the same and still? Render the screen.
