I opened the ticketing software and searched hard for any movies to watch. I came across this "1/2 The Magic". I was about to buy a ticket when I suddenly remembered that this movie has been quiet since the beginning of the epidemic. Lying quietly in the hard drive of Yuncheng for more than half a year, I decisively turned it out and read it. After reading it, I had a feeling: Pixar, forever.
Similar to "Crazy Zoo" and "Dream Travel", this film is also a setting of the fusion of the overhead world and the real world, but compared to the previous two creating an overhead city, this film is obviously in the visual spectacle. It's not that prominent, just a small town is set up. Although there is no big scene, Pixar's usual brilliant emotions are still abundant. This work is still based on a slightly sci-fi background setting and a story structure of finding a father to tell a story. True friendship between brothers.
The film is set in a suburban fantasy world of elves, trolls, spirits and more, where unicorns roam through trash cans and candy-striped possums. The film provides a premise that magic is real, but it has long been forgotten and replaced by modern technology. A pair of teenage brothers whose father died when they were still young, and when the two children came of age, they took out the gift their father left them as a mitzvah - using magic to resurrect their father, but With only one day left, they decided to enter this fantasy world and spend one last magical day with their father.
If divided by type, this film should be a road film. Because of the accident during casting, Barry and Ian's father was only half resurrected - only the lower body, and to restore the father all the way, you must find another phoenix gem to complete Casting spells, the main line of the story is that the brothers embark on a journey to find the Phoenix Gem. During this process, they have experienced all kinds of things together and began to grow.
The film is full of jokes. The elder brother Barry dubbed by Star Lord and the younger brother Ian, dubbed by Holland, have their own sense of joy. The elf mob is cute and sassy, and the moment when the cursed dragon sticks to his face and looks back directly makes people look back. Laughing and spraying, and the most used in the whole film is contrast, when the heroic and fearless manticore female warrior turns into a low-pitched restaurant proprietress, and the dreamy unicorn turns over the trash can to find garbage, and the winged elf does not Flying, only driving motorcycles, the characters from the magical world of China have entered the modern city life one after another. This kind of anti-difference has a taste.

Of course, the most commendable thing is to lay out emotions, especially Ian's growth line is very good. The road adventure of the two is also a journey for Ian to regain his confidence. From the beginning, Ian, who was driven by ducks and did not dare to go on the high-speed, drove the car through the high-speed at high speed, and then crossed the cracks and walked on the abyss. Flat ground, and then to the last series of fluent manipulation of Dragon Slaying, as long as you choose to believe, many things are not as terrible as they seem.
In the second half of the movie, when Ian disliked his brother Barry for leading the wrong way and couldn't find the Phoenix Gem, seeing that the sun was about to set, this half of his father would also disappear. Rebuked Barry, and then took half of his father to the beach to watch the sunset, but when he was sketching out a wish list with his father, he unexpectedly discovered that all the things he wanted to do with his father, his brother Barry had done with him, But he never realized his brother's protection for him, and only thought that his brother was a troublesome ghost with insufficient success.
The elder brother is synonymous with the second sickness and unreliability. Although the mother cares for Ian, she cannot replace the existence of the father. The shy Ian regards the father he has never met as a harbor for his emotional support. He will be with his father. The dialogue was recorded, imagining the wonderful situation of his father enlightening him and leading him to become a real fearless man. This kind of emotional reinforcement in the subconscious made Ian ignore the existence of the people around him, and ignored his brother and mother's treatment of him. Caring and loving.
Ian, who is naturally timid, with the encouragement of his brother, can finally fly on the busy highway and cross the valley with confidence. When Ian felt powerless in the face of police pursuit, Barry did not blame, but decisively. You chose to sacrifice your most precious car, the Guinevere, to successfully clear the siege for the two of them. No matter how powerful people are, there will be times when they are powerless, and your family will always be your most solid backing.
And Ian finally realized that his brother Barry didn't take this adventure as a practice for his secondary illness. He was also eager to see his father again. He and his father still have a fourth memory that he never wanted to mention. He looked at his father, who was full of pipes and was about to die. The scared Barry didn't say goodbye to his father, and this became Barry's lifelong regret. Therefore, Barry forced himself to be fearless, but this was mistaken by Ian. is reckless.
Finally, the dragon approached, and the two brothers had to have one person to stop the dragon, which also meant that only one person could see their father again. Although Barry also longed to meet his father again, he did not hesitate to give the last remaining time to his younger brother, who had always been obsessed with his father, but Ian chose to let go of his obsession. The father who has never met is used as an emotional sustenance, and the older brother Barry needs this opportunity to meet his father even more.
The brotherhood behind the father-son relationship is even more moving, and Ian has also begun to regain his self-confidence during this journey, find himself, learn to love and share, learn to accept shortcomings, and complete real growth. In the end, Barry gave Ian a hug for his father. At this moment, Barry is both a brother and a father.
1/2 is a key word in this film. The parents only have the mother, which is 1/2; the two brothers have only one magical talent, which is 1/2; the summoned father is only half, which is 1/2; One met his father, and it was also 1/2.
1/2 is a kind of regret, and it also tells us that life is not perfect, life is always full of regrets, but what is really important is not to indulge in the sadness of losing 1/2, but to learn to cherish what you already have. that half.
