It took almost half a year since the trailer was released in March and said that 618 was released until today. Looking at the trailer, you probably understand that it should be a story of chasing dreams and friendship. Out of love for Pixar, I watched it even though I knew I might not catch a cold. After watching it, there is neither disappointment nor surprise, a very satisfactory dream-chasing film.
The advantage of Pixar is that it can always show us a dreamy and imaginative world, the depiction of the soul world by Spiritual Journey, the depiction of the world of death by Dream Travel, and the depiction of the desolate mechanical world after the apocalypse by Robot General Mobilization. But this one is different. Before, it was an imagination of a world unknown to human beings, but this one is a fantasy of the human world from the perspective of a mermaid. Therefore, when looking at it, you will feel the limitations of the mermaid when it imagines the human world from the perspective of a fish, such as imagining that the stars are fish and the moon is a big fish. Compared with before, it is difficult to give the audience the same shock as before. After all, when the mermaid fantasizes about the solar system and the Milky Way, we will feel that it is cliché and bland. But Pixar also has advantages. The little mermaid is always full of curiosity and enthusiasm for the world when he fantasizes, from the desire for land in the sea at the beginning, to the desire for motorcycles after landing, to the desire for the universe, knowledge and the world in the human world. I think this is Pixar, always full of expectations and fantasy about the unknown. Looking at this type of male protagonist a few years ago, I would think that it is this typical male protagonist again, so stupid and stupid. Now I understand why childlike innocence is the most precious and moving.
After talking about the advantages of this film, it cannot be regarded as its advantages. It should be said that it is the commonality of Pixar movies. Let’s talk briefly about the flaws of the film.
First, the simple unification of settings. Watching the trailer, we know that the male protagonist will go ashore, the male protagonist's family will not approve the male protagonist's landing, and then after some things, the family finally agrees or understands the male protagonist. The setting is exactly the same as that of Xunmeng Travel, but the more brilliant thing is that it gives a more reasonable setting that is more closely integrated with the follow-up plot-the grandfather of the male protagonist abandoned the male because of his musical dream. The main grandmother. Summer Friends Sunny Day is very direct, the male protagonist's mother thinks the outside world is very dangerous. How can I say it, I can't say that this setting is unreasonable, but I will feel that it is dangerous again and again. Crazy primitive people are like this, and so are you. Too old setting.
Second, McGuffin is boring. After the male protagonist came ashore, the exposure of the identity of the mermaid became a new introduction, or McGuffin. Many movies will use this technique, such as a thief pretending to be a policeman, he is on the verge of revealing or not revealing, and then making some ridiculous things, this is a very useful way to trigger suspense and attract moviegoers. But the disadvantage of Xia Youqingtian is that it is too boring to expose the identity of the male host fish. Every plot that may encounter water, the director has come again. For example, going out to sea with the heroine's father to fish, and the second man encounters water, and part of his skin becomes a mermaid. The male protagonist was in a hurry and wiped off the water while the female protagonist's father didn't see it. The rendering of the picture and the atmosphere did not make me nervous at all, but made me feel like this? ? ?
Third, the villain is evil for no reason. A villain is very low, and the protagonist is generally difficult to be attractive. Here it is very bluntly set that the villain is a small town child, and he bullies the male protagonist and the second male who just arrived in the town when he appears. Then the heroine was the only one who naturally resisted him, and saved the male lead and the second male? There was no charm at all.
What interests me is something other than the film. I can't help but read the ratings before watching a movie. Some of the film reviews are so LGBT in my eyes, do I still think that Pixar is playing so wildly? After watching the plot, let me call me deceived! Not to mention, I don't feel that the male lead and the second male are in love at all. Aren't they good friends? After so many years of loneliness, the second male lead has a good friend, the male lead. The male lead worships the second male and also promises to travel the world with the second male. When the male protagonist meets the female protagonist, who can teach the male protagonist knowledge more accurately, the second male feels that he and the male protagonist are not as close as they used to be. Nothing but normal. Don't know how to get involved with LGBT?
But when I had the first impression of watching the movie, I couldn't look directly at the male protagonist? I felt that the male protagonist was a natural scumbag. Promise the second male to travel around the world, but when he finds that he is more eager for knowledge and more eager for school, he refuses the second male to want to go to school with the female lead. The scene where the second male's emotions exploded also became funny, threatening the male lead to ask the female lead if the school would accept sea monsters, and then turned into a mermaid on the spot out of anger. The female protagonist was naturally shocked and frightened. In order to protect himself, the male protagonist immediately said to the male second, "Are you a sea monster?!" Combined with the injured eyes of the male second, it made me laugh to death.
