Angry Birds: Meaningful Standard Production

When it comes to cartoons, most people will quickly think of cute, cute, funny and other animated images, as well as the characteristics of being easy and simple, innocent and beautiful, joyful, dreamy and imaginative. The animated film "Angry Birds", which is currently being shown in theaters, fully conforms to the generalization of these commonalities. As an IP movie, it was adapted from a popular mobile game that once swept the world. Now it meets the public in the form of a 3D movie. With the innate publicity advantage of hundreds of millions of players, it won the enthusiastic attention of the public once it was released. Based on the huge mobile game group, since its release, the box office and word-of-mouth of the film are like a parabola where the bird is ejected from the game, and it has soared all the way up. As a simple mobile game that can be summed up in one sentence, it is transformed into a story with a funny plot and a rich meaning through marriage with a movie, which shows the innovative magic of the Hollywood film production team.

From smooth, coherent, ups and downs narration, to cute, humorous, down-to-earth humorous lines; from the setting of characters such as Fat Red, Dart Yellow, Bomb Black, etc., to the depth of field, 3D stereoscopic images with obvious layers, and rich The contagious soundtrack and rhythm make the film relatively smooth and complete as a whole, which can be called a family-friendly work for all ages. However, it is precisely because of its stable model, formulaic plots, stereotyped characters and other Hollywood standard streamlined industrial productions that make the film fall into the clichés in terms of play structure and theme conception. There are not too many flaws, but also No surprises. The director's "ingenuity" excavation and application of the elements of "cute", "funny" and "cheap" makes the film ultimately impressive to the public. It may not be the illusory theme under the hero template of the film, but give way to fat red, darts The cute images of birds such as yellow and bomb black are cute and funny, as well as a series of dense funny jokes. Faced with fast-paced narratives and dialogues, audiences immersed in bursts of laughter may not have time to ponder the film's puerile, trite themes. From this point of view, the film is indeed suitable for this group of young audiences. However, the adult-like, Internet-based popular language translated into Chinese, as well as some "dirty" slang, make the film somewhat awkward and uncomfortable for younger audiences.

In addition, for the image setting and plot arrangement of the characters in the film, politically sensitive audiences are keenly aware of some tendency to hide political implications after watching the film. The body colors of the three protagonists, bomb black, fat red, and dart yellow, are in black, red, and yellow, and their fixed rankings are consistent with the colors of the German flag; the green pig leader with a beard and the star and moon on his scepter The logo coincides with the revered colors, character costumes and logo images of Muslim religions; Bird Island's chief owl and the American symbol of the bald eagle, as well as the association of the explosive TNT brought by the green pig and terrorist attacks, plus the storyline There are some deliberate coincidences with the settings of the terrorist incidents caused by the German Chancellor Angela Merkel's government when it opened its doors to accept refugees in reality. Based on this, whether this film is a simple joke intended to be cute or a political fable that alludes to reality, it is worth pondering and thinking about.
As a cute movie with a seemingly popcorn nature, it presents a meaningful and diverse orientation in the context of standardized production. A slightly embarrassing film, should its audience be older or younger? Should the interpretation be deep or shallow? The opinions of different opinions, the controversy of mixed praise and disagreement, and the inconsistency of opinions, ultimately contributed to the film's soaring box office.
