"Toy Story 4": 8 points, plus 0.5 points for feelings, must-see works. As Pixar's flagship series, the fourth installment still maintains a sufficient level of storytelling, and even makes me think it has a particularly good story. This one opens up a larger worldview without being constrained by the previous mere toy-owner relationship. In the past 24 years, the Toy Story series has experienced the self-recognition of toys, the growth of the owner, and the search for a new owner. In fact, the target of the whole movie has not changed, with every age stage of the post-80s and post-90s. growth. In the fourth part, Toy Story is basically a very adult-oriented story. As the characters in it said, we have to pursue our inner voice, not to get lost, to find freedom, etc. The themes are all oriented to the world of adults. Also, although this movie is for children to watch, some scenes are obviously not young.
If the previous toy series was the dual male protagonist mode of Woody and Buzz Lightyear, this one returns to the independent adventure story of the traditional big male protagonist. Buzz Lightyear and other toys are more like a successor to the previous work. background. The return of the Shepherdess, on the one hand, continues the only emotional line in the previous films, on the other hand, it is more closely related to today's mainstream independent female characters. Although it is a bit superficial, it is a rare creation in the toy series.
Many people say that the villain is a bit repetitive from the previous work. In fact, I think this has to be seen from the perspective of the whole movie. There is no real villain setting. Gabby is more like a movie. Experience all the stories of the first three films Condensed characters, perhaps to give the series a more complete backtrack. Finally, let the whole story move away from the simple relationship between the owner and the toy, but emphasize that the value of the toy is to find a "highlight moment", which also echoes the memories of many characters in the movie.
What's interesting is that the fourth part has not restrained the interaction between toys and humans. Unlike in the past, as long as humans appeared, toys were solidified. Now there are more and more things that break the dimension, and even directly intervene in the end. It's hard to say whether this is the right way to handle it. After all, there are no "three laws of toys" in the toy series, but even if it is involved, it feels that it is far less good than the first car chase scene at that time, and it lacks a sense of cooperation.
There are actually a lot of tears in the movie. From the opening rescue to the main story line, seeing Andy's growth, "You are my good friend" sounded with emotion, and the scene where the toys meet the shepherdess at the end is even more emotional. After watching the movie, I realize that many classic series are given meaning by time. If you really watch it in one breath, you will really lose too much feeling.
Finally, when we are looking at the stills of the first Toy Story, and comparing the fourth, we will find that the production of animated films in the past two decades has made great progress. The animation will feel very beautiful, and now almost even the light on the edge of the hair, the rubber material of Woody, and the ceramic material of the shepherdess are all done in detail, which is really beyond imagination.
