Cars 3: Alternative Twilight

Velva 2022-04-22 07:01:32

What happened to the movie now? First of all, it was a series of sequels, completely draining the commercial value of the series, and later focused on "Heroes Twilight", using aging legends to arouse the audience's infinite nostalgia. Although there are many excellent works such as "Wolverine 3", most movies use this to cover up the lack of plot and narrative. Sadly, Cars 3 falls into the latter category.
In the promotional video, "Lightning McQueen" was frequently beaten by new racing cars and even seriously injured. I thought this would be a more solid sequel, better than the clichéd first and the bells and whistles of the second. After watching the whole film, I was disappointed - it's the tried-and-true Hollywood plot: I believe I can overcome any difficulties, the invincible god of war falls into the trough of his career and finally rediscovers himself, and at the last moment, he is self-taught and flexibly uses the ultimate teachings of his predecessors... The air is filled with With a sour taste of the "American Dream", I don't know how the magnificent empire on the other side of the ocean and the battered comrade Trump feel.
However, unlike "Kung Fu Panda", "Thor", "Plane Story", etc., although there is a character at the end of the film who overcomes the impossible and slaps the face of the villain, in "Cars 3", this role is Coach Lu Well, not the protagonist McQueen. The villain "Black Whirlwind" is just a symbol, and if it is anyone else, even the two formula cars in the second part, there is no problem at all. This is a bit interesting: McQueen's retirement is really taking a back seat, which includes a re-recognition of his own strength, a re-acceptance of his mentality, and a new position as a "car student". Inheritance is a brand new progress.
In a way, I can understand McQueen. We always face the same question: how to deal with the new forces in the arena? Today's children live in various online classes, film and television shows, and foreign teachers' tutoring, and foreign language has long since changed from an interest to a habit. The English proficiency I have worked hard for 22 years is just the standard for children in Beijing. Competing with players who are only two or three years old is not easy. The real reason for the decline is not the years, but the burden on the body. In the days of graduate students, apart from the fume hood is a medicine cabinet, the boss is a foreman, and there is no freedom in life. Graduation is not a relief. After finding a job, you have to repeat the life of a graduate student. Chemical research is changing rapidly and cannot be separated from people for a moment. In addition to the economic cost of the competition, there is also a time cost. If you lost in the past, you can come again, but today's youth is too expensive to squander. The older you are, the more worries you have. Can you be worthy of the teacher's attention and training, and can you keep your image in the hearts of the people around you? When I first entered the competition, I was proud of beating the senior players, and I was very aggressive. But now I'm more on the defensive, weighing every step carefully. Give it a go? Not only the baggage, but also the armor to protect the body was put down. But what am I protecting, since when can we lose?
However, unlike subjective initiative, which has a limited role, it is difficult for all players to overcome the limitations of their technical level. It requires years of polishing experience and even enlightenment and guidance at a young age, and it cannot be effective in a short time. Just as the steam locomotive was replaced by the diesel locomotive, and the electric locomotive eliminated the internal combustion engine, all the people standing by the long river of history will sooner or later become history. "Be famous as soon as possible", I am afraid it is not empty words.

    [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]
