Pixar fans for 25 years, naturally will not miss every work of Pixar, even if there is already a concern that "Pixar and Disney have been playing for a long time and they will start shipping goods". This year's Pixar's release schedule is the only one on the release schedule, and the Chinese movie poster has the words " Pixar's 35th Anniversary Special Presentation of the Gold Medal Team of "Dream Travel" , which is really exciting. From COCO to LUCA , from Mexico to Italy, what kind of style will Pixar bring to us this time?
·Summer ·Seaside ·Italy
The story takes place in the 1950s, in a fictional Italian seaside town of Vieira. Bright sunshine, azure blue water, marshmallow-like white clouds are the base colors of everything, sweet ice cream and delicious pasta are all the flavors. Summer, the seaside, and Italy are full of holiday atmosphere and exotic flavors, making people trapped by the epidemic unmoved in minutes, and their hearts are far away. Hey buddy, just chill!
· Childhood · Adventure · Find yourself
Summer means long, boring summers for some kids, secrets, adventures, self-discovery and world-opening for others. The sea monster teenagers Luca and Alberto are undoubtedly the latter. They came to land from the sea they were familiar with, hid their scales and fish tails, dehydrated adults, and lived in human towns, in pursuit of a VESPA motorcycle, and in order to Know where you came from and where you're going.
·Friendship · Growth · Farewell
To be a sea monster or a human is to solve one's own problems and one's own problems. Another task in life is to deal with the relationship with others. The friendships that erupted in the summers of childhood, and the temptations, joys, feuds, jealousies, betrayals, and reconciliations that friendships breed, are required lessons in adulthood. At the end of the film, Luca chooses to go to school with Giulia, while Alberto stays in the town to become a fisherman, and they cherish each other at the station. I thought that the three good friends would go to school together, but I am small. Isn't that what a mature friendship is like, walking through a bumpy or wonderful road hand in hand, and then bravely marching towards each other's future with each other's blessings?
LGBT?
I walked out of the movie theater with my two daughters and was in a hilarious mood until I saw an argument about the film's LGBT metaphors. Frankly speaking, I have also hit a lot of male male CP, and my attitude towards LGBT is very open, but it still makes me feel a little uncomfortable to interpret the friendship of two little boys as same-sex love. Childhood friendships are raw, possessiveness is pure, and feelings transcend gender consciousness. Who hasn't been jealous because of "good friends and others" when they were young? But as the saying goes, "the rotten eye sees the human foundation", maybe people who are exploring or exploring their own orientation will feel the "evidence of love" that others cannot feel. In the end, what we see depends on what we have in our hearts and what we want to see.
·A little regret·
I love the atmosphere and themes of the movie, at least it brought me a moment of cool sea breeze in this summer when I can't go on vacation. But it's hard for me to say that this is a work that can be compared to Dream Travel . In my opinion, there are at least the following two regrets. One is that Luca, in order to be accepted by humans, betrayed and abandoned his best friend when Alberto's identity as a sea monster was revealed, and the motives for his behavior were very steep; Luca's apology, and later Alberto's forgiveness, also showed a blunt change of emotions. The other is the great reconciliation between sea monsters and humans, which is completely inexplicable. The two ethnic groups that have hated each other for many years, just because of a little girl's statement, it is too "fairy tale". If outsiders and minorities were so easily accepted, many problems in today's world would be solved, right? How to tell a good story more convincing, engaging and appealing, isn't that what Pixar does best?
When Dream Hunting Travels was released, I had a faint sense of Disney's de-individuation and de-independence of Pixar. After experiencing the scribbles of 1/2 magic and the resurgence of Spiritual Journey , Xia Youqingtian once again strengthened this kind of behavior. worry. After all, this time Pixar did not discuss any new issues, nor did it export any new ideas, nor did it show any new technologies. Everything was within the existing framework and order. I hope Pixar can find its originality and revolutionaryness and become a well-deserved YYDS in the hearts of animation fans .
