When I was a child watching cartoons, I was always moved by emotions first. I cried snot and tears in every clearly designed tear-jerking link. I knew it was a routine to coax children, but I still cried. For those who have suffered from excess emotions since childhood For me, this is probably the most affordable way to release.
I don’t know if it’s because I’ve been at work for a long time. Even though I watch cartoons when I grow up, I still cry, but the same story looks like a workplace story now. It’s really a big dye vat in society!
In the "Toy Story" series, there is a very interesting and central setting, that is , the life goal of all toys is "to be played", and the biggest fear is "falling ashes", which is approximately equal to "being in the human world". reused" and "fallen out of favor". So just like the relationship between most people and work in modern society, being loved by a child is a way for a toy to realize its self-worth.
In the first few films, Cowboy Woody relied on talent and hard work to become the C position in the heart of the little boy Andy, and has been conscientiously acting as the leader in the toy, escorting Andy's growth, but later because Andy has grown up, he is no longer in life. Toys were needed, so Woody, who had a stellar resume, was "cut off" along with a collection of Andy's childhood toys for little girl Bonnie.
Despite the family's support, Woody's life has still undergone earth-shaking changes.
The new "boss" Bonnie liked Woody very much at first, giving him the honor of signing the soles of his feet, but soon got tired of it and formed his own set of toy "plays", placing Woody's sheriff badge on the more girl-friendly Cowgirl On Jessie, and shut Woody himself in the closet.
Aside from the "old ones" sent by Andy along with him, Woody no longer has any majesty in the toy, and even has a terrifying first wisp of hairballs (a sign of "falling ashes").
But out of Woody's innate sense of responsibility, and a toy's natural love for the little girl, and perhaps some unwilling ambitions, Woody secretly carried himself into the little girl's schoolbag despite everyone's opposition to accompany her through the fear the first day of school.
When he saw the little girl being bullied by the little boy and crying, he used his wits to help Bonnie make a toy of his own from some scraps in the trash can. Bonnie was thus recognized by the teacher, which boosted her confidence, and the little trash became the source of the little girl's sense of security.
However, this toy "forcibly" composed of garbage does not have a natural love for children like other toys, and only wants to return to its "comfort zone" trash can. In order not to disappoint Bonnie, Woody had to struggle to find it when it fled, brainwashing it a series of "self-cultivation of a toy", Xiaozhi moved with reason and emotion, and finally inspired the little trash The enterprising spirit made it determined to become a qualified toy, and it also cultivated a pillar talent for Bonnie.
In the process, Woody worked hard to fight the villain's wits and courage, gave up the opportunity to "start a business" with the girl he liked, and even lost his voice (voice box) for a time. Of course, his boss Bonnie was unaware of all this.
But after all these adventures are over, Woody is faced with a question: whether to continue to return to Bonnie's closet to fall ashes, or to join hands with his old favorite shepherdess Bo to run towards freedom and continue the front.
When Bo tries out proposals, let's do it together! Taste the taste of freedom! Woody retreated almost subconsciously. He would laugh at himself, "Old toys can't learn new tricks," but the voice in his body couldn't be quiet anymore. It's a good idea to go out and see, what is the value left?
After all, he's not like other toys, as long as he has a child to keep him company, he always wants to be the most loved one, but whether he admits it or not, the peak of his toy career has passed.
Just like an ordinary social person in real life, the greatest luck is to move forward with a group of like-minded people (this group of people is often a company), the time with Andy has consumed Woody's lifelong luck, to become Bonnie's A good heart doesn't depend on hard work, and a sense of responsibility shouldn't be Woody's only reason to stay.
From the first "Toy Story", I am amazed at the completion of each part of this series, this time it seems to have taken a new level, in addition to discussing the various possibilities of career development from Woody's point of view, a few minor The characters are also very present.
The gentle shepherdess Bo, the daring female explorer with high art skills, drives a skunk car and walks the rivers and lakes together with three or two groups, scoffs at life in the cage, and prefers to find self-worth in the sand pit in the park, which makes it easy for people Think of the case of the female hero who made a nude speech and traveled around the world in an RV.
But the price she paid for this was being "played bad", because "some children are rude", and unlike Woody, there is always a clear home in her heart, a place where she can "go back".
She's not without her toy career highlights.
Because Molly is afraid of the dark, Bo used to be Molly's favorite similar toy, but just like any employee may only be able to perfectly fit the company's demands for a period of time, when Molly no longer needs her, Bo also behaves very well when she leaves. Free and easy, "it's the next child's turn".
Unfortunately, the next child soon got tired of her, and Bo went to the antique store, unable to bear the daily ashes, and decisively chose to embrace freedom, "I don't want to sit on a shelf and wait for life to turn around."
Woody expressed admiration and sympathy for Bo's choice, "Do you really think you're not going to be a kid's playmate again?"
And when she took Woody to the top of the carousel and saw the big world (for toys), Bo asked excitedly, "Who needs kids, isn't that enough?"
Therefore, Bo categorically rejected Woody's offer to go back to serve Bonnie and insisted on being a "freelance" toy. The free life has made her more sure of what she wants, but it's hard not to be moved by Woody's great enthusiasm for every child, just like the kind of person who is always full of energy at work, often making the blood of the people around him boil. .
However, Bo may also be considered the luckiest among the "lost toys", with clear goals and strong action, and always find opportunities to "be played", but if you don't play with children all the time, a toy may become psychopathic.
Gabby, who had a broken sound box when it left the factory, has been in the antique store and has never been played by children.
She imagined that Harmony, the granddaughter of the antique store owner, would become as close to her as her manual, so she did everything she could to get Woody's voice box, kidnapped Forky and blackmailed Woody, and finally revealed her sincerity, she just wanted to experience What does it feel like to achieve self-worth.
After thinking about it for a long time, she finally found out that this is just a waste of time, and she is not what Harmony needs. A disheartened Gabby tells Woody you can get your soundbox back, I won't need it anymore.
The kind-hearted Woody once again made an offer to Gabby to go back to serve Bonnie, but when Gabby found the little girl crying on the side of the road, she made her choice clear, "she seems to be lost".
Whether at work or in life, the best arrangement for a relationship is to match each other's conditions and need each other, and this is often difficult, so returnee doctors sometimes can't find a job, and a key position offers a higher salary. Can't recruit anyone.
Other characters have also found their place in this adventure. For example, from the initial state of fear, "I don't know what I'm doing here, I want to go back to the garbage dump", and gradually learned how to be as self-consistent as a qualified toy. In the end credits, it also trains Bonnie on new toys like an old employee. And cowgirl Jessie also inherited the mantle of the old leader and accompanied Bonnie through the first day of elementary school.
Buzz Lightyear, who only knew how to obey orders and didn't think much about everything, also learned to "listen to the inner voice" after this adventure.
The pretentious Duke, as soon as he hears the word "child", will incarnate as Mrs. Xianglin, because the first child's denial of him has made him brooding all the time. succeeded below...
In any case, this one seems to be full of goodbyes, and the next encounter between Woody and Buzz Lightyear is unknown.
In my impression, Pixar has always been universal (after all, it mainly produces cartoons, which are aimed at children), and assumes the role of transmitting the mainstream values of the elite. From this point of view, the elite's Values are tilting, work is not the only possibility in life, in addition to being a conscientious screw in a huge workshop, you can also experience a larger world.
