Tribute to Pixar: What I'm Talking About When I'm Driving on the Road

"Hi, I'm McQueen. I don't know where I'm from, but I know I deeply love Water Town Hot Springs, this beautiful little town across Interstate 66. My best friend is off the line and My wife, Sally, is the most important person in my car life, and of course, my master, Dr. Lan Lan. I like to run, and I like to compete with others. I have been running hard for half my life. But now I feel that I It's time to stop properly, not because I'm old, nor because I'm tired, but I think opportunities should be reserved for young people with dreams.

Just like my master taught me to go through the corners without stepping on the brakes and go straight to the gas pedal, he also pinned a hope on me, although the arcs he draws through the corners are always prettier and more artistic than mine. Suddenly one year, he left us forever, but I will never forget his loving smiling face and hearty laughter. Whenever I think of his old man, he always wakes me up like thunder in my ear in the afternoon, so that I will never forget. Forget the original intention of this business. So I left the most important opportunity in my life and the last chance to Sister Cool, the yellow Cruze who loves to do aerobics. She showed me what I looked like when I was young. I miss that time very much. time.

Time is always short, half my life has passed in a hurry, and I have lost the pride I used to be proud of. Master, his old man won the Piston Cup championship for three consecutive years (1951-1953), and he is the target I want to catch up with all my life. Perhaps it was the right choice to place your hopes on Sister Cool. After all, I also have a piston cup. Life or death does not bring it. To put it bluntly, it is a useless broken cup. In fact, I'm not afraid of the black storm, but I want to quit, I want to spend time with Sally and get off the line, the car is short, and it's all bullshit. "

The "Cars Story" series, as the most significant work of Pixar animation studio, has been on the world screen since mid-2006, and it has gone through a full 11 years now. It is almost the same as the "Ice Age" series. It has become a memory and an unforgettable feeling for a generation. A flash of lightning on the field, I am afraid it will be forever branded in the memory. "Cars3" is like the final chapter of "Ice Age" in 2016. It opened a beautiful door in the deepest memory of so many people, and took away so many people's gallop to the young. The series is over, but we are still running for survival every day.

"cars one" is the most profound film in the entire series. It not only witnesses Pixar's 20 years of existence, but also announces the transformation of Pixar from the technical department of Lucasfilm to an independent studio, and finally from independent work. Room became a subsidiary of Disney. The Internet era is so fast-changing. Overnight, two giant companies in the world that cannot compete with each other can merge and reorganize. At the end of "cars one", there is an easter egg. In just a few dozen seconds, some animation images made by Pixar are played. This is not a simple spoof.

This short video not only expresses the 20 years of Pixar, but also misses a person who has brought joy to everyone, he is Glen McQueen. "He was the heart and soul of Pixar animation," said John Lasseter, now chief creative officer at Pixar and Disney Animation Studios. Now, we are familiar with "Finding Nemo", "Toy Story 1-2", "The Bugs" and "Monster Electric Company", all of which are not performed by Glen McQueen himself, although "Finding Nemo" has not yet When it was finished, he died of skin cancer at the age of 42 (1960-2002).

A sentence quoted by Mr. Yu Dan is that the future is not long in Japan, what we can cherish is in front of us, and there is also a limited supply. Grant McQueen has brought Pixar 20 years of glory, but also took away the original appearance of Pixar. The two films after "cars one" are obviously different in quality, and "Toy Story 3" is no exception. "Cars2" is really too ruthless to deviate from the main line. I don't know whether it was a "cars" version of "007" or a "cars" version of "Ace Power Spy". It really has nothing to do with the above two, but A simple "off-line rumor".

And after a lapse of six years, the sudden appearance of "cars3" really caught the audience off guard. Obviously, the "cars" series is not a series focused on a main story. Lightning McQueen stopped running and chose to take a back seat. Black Storm is just an introduction made by Pixar, but the amount of information in this introduction is really huge. "cars3" intuitively reflects the current society, and tells mercilessly: the times are changing too fast, technological life is changing rapidly, all things tend to have a bottomless AI intelligence level, without sophisticated instruments and intelligent navigation, will eventually be eliminated.

In fact, this is also the course of the animation industry. Whether it is a domestic studio or a foreign studio, it is destined to be sanctioned by the changes of the times and the needs of the audience. "Toy Story" brought the 3D era of animated films, and the entire industry trembled and changed accordingly. More and more 3D animated films were born, adding freshness to the commercial theater chain and making the production of animated films from now on. Begin to polarize towards the overcoming and development in the technical field, ignoring independent stories. Just like McQueen's exit in "cars3", it's still the same stage, but everything is different. "I really miss the master." McQueen. (Text/Omiear)

    [no response]

    Cruz Ramirez: I-I mean, I know like, you've got a billion of them, so y-you would know.

    [still no response]

    Cruz Ramirez: I still can't believe I won. Heheh. It's pretty shiny. I have never seen one up close. Looks like they spent a lot of money on it, I-I mean, I think it's real metal...

    Lightning McQueen: Stop. Just stop! Okay, Cruz? You don't even know. You don't even have one clue!

    Cruz Ramirez: Hey! I was trying to...

    Lightning McQueen: Do you know what happens if I lose this race?

    [Cruz doesn't answer]

    Lightning McQueen: Every mile of this trip was to get me faster than Jackson Storm. FASTER!

    [Luigi, Guido, and Mack listen on in horror]

    Lightning McQueen: I start off getting nowhere for a week ON A SIMULATOR! I lose a whole day with you on Fireball Beach. AND THEN, I WASTE TONIGHT IN THE CROSSHAIRS OF MISS FRITTER! I'm stuck in the same speed I was a month ago! I can't get any faster BECAUSE I'M TOO BUSY TAKING CARE OF MY TRAINER!

    [Cruz feeling hurt and remains silent]

    Lightning McQueen: This is my last chance, Cruz. Last! Final! FINITO! If I lose, I never get to do this again. If you were a racer, you'd know what I'm talking about! But you're not! So you DON'T!

    [he slams his tire on the wall, causing Cruz's trophy to fall off the shelf and break upon hitting the floor; Cruz is crushed]

    Cruz Ramirez: [furious] Mack, pull over!

    Mack: Wha? Now?

    Cruz Ramirez: NOW!

    [pushes the button]

    Mack: Ahh - Okay okay! Pulling over! Pulling over!

    [Mack pulls over]

    Cruz Ramirez: [exits Mack] Ask me if I dreamed of being a trainer, Mr. McQueen, go ahead! Ask me if I got up in the dark to run laps before school every day! Ask me if I saved every penny to buy a ticket to the races when they came to town. Ask me if I did that so that I could be a trainer someday, ask me!

    Lightning McQueen: Did y - ?

    Cruz Ramirez: No! I've wanted to become a racer forever! Because of you.

    [Lightning is shocked and heartbroken]

    Cruz Ramirez: I used to watch you on TV, flying through the air. You seemed so... fearless. "Dream small, Cruz." That's what my family used to say. "Dream small or not at all." They were just trying to protect me. But, I was the fastest kid in town and I was gonna prove them wrong!

    Lightning McQueen: What happened?

    Cruz Ramirez: When I got to my first race, I figured it out.

    Lightning McQueen: What?

    Cruz Ramirez: That I didn't belong. The other racers looked nothing like me. You know, they-they were bigger, and-and stronger, and so... confident. And when they started their engines... that was it. I knew I'd never be a racer. I just left. It was my one shot and I didn't take it.

    [Lightning feels bad as Cruz decides to leave]

    Cruz Ramirez: Yeah, so, uh... I-I'm gonna head back to the training center. I think we both know it's for the best.

    [starts to drive away, but turns around again]

    Cruz Ramirez: But, can I ask you something? What was it like for you, when you showed up to your first race? How did you know you could do it?

    Lightning McQueen: I don't know, I... I just never thought I couldn't.

    Cruz Ramirez: I wish I knew what that felt like. Good luck, Mr. McQueen.

    [starts driving away]

    Lightning McQueen: Cruz... Cruz, wait...!

    [Cruz ignores him and he sighs]
