Break the inertia of thinking, sows can fly too!

In conventional thinking, an elephant is the least likely animal to fly; how can an ugly duckling become a noble swan? Peter Rabbit would only run and shiver under a shotgun, driving humans crazy.

No miracles happen in the world.

Art can make miracles happen. Dumbo achieves the transcendence of self-worth and completes the impossible transformation with a pair of huge ugly ears. In art, the Ugly Duckling can go through all the hardships, and was on the verge of death several times, but finally survived and became a great swan the following spring. Peter Rabbit is smarter and kinder than humans, driving cruel people crazy, but creating a new pair of good people.

Art allows us to see into the distance.

A few years ago, I saw the comic version of "Dumbo" in a picture book, and today I watched the live-action animated version of "Dumbo". Later, I traced back to the source and finally found that 78 years ago, Disney had passed a well-made movie. The animated film "Dumbo" made the image of Dumbo deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

On October 23, 1941, Mr. Walt of Disney had inserted a pair of "wings" for the baby elephant, galloping freely in the sky, creating a miracle, and opening a skylight that will never be closed for the imagination of children.

Since the birth of the animated version of Dumbo, it has been enduring for a long time and has been released in more than 50 countries in turn, from 1941 to 2003. Now, this Dumbo, which is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, has reappeared and debuted in a gorgeous costume, which will once again detonate the imagination of children.

The live-action animated version of "Dumbo" has lost more fantasy and fairy tales, cut out more artistic processing, and set the background of Dumbo's growth among human beings, and two children who lost their mothers acted as Dumbo. The inspiration for the gorgeous transformation, and the focus on the growth of individuals in the society is transformed into the growth of individuals in the family, making this film more grounded, coupled with the humorous effect of comedy, close to the distance between the film and children, enhance the A sense of substitution.

Similar to the "Mouse Laibao" series, the battle between good and evil is inserted into the story, and the children's movie-watching emotions are fully mobilized in the tense victory and defeat transition. The children unconsciously put themselves in the category of the good, cheering for the good and angry for the evil. The whole scene exclaimed and booed constantly, worrying about the characters in the movie.

In the end, the good ones finally defeated the evil ones. The children took a deep breath and felt relieved, and scolded the evil ones for their tragic ending. They got a hearty movie viewing experience.

As a commercial film, there are always inherent film plots and routines. Occasionally fall into the stereotype, its artistic value will inevitably be discounted. However, in terms of cultural value and educational value, this family comedy film, through the pair of lost The growth process of the mother's children has made many children who watch movies understand the concept of "home". What is home? Home is where parents are with each other, they should not be separated from each other, and they can enjoy happiness and joy without having to suffer the pain of losing their loved ones.

In the play, Millie, a little girl who lost her mother, knows the pain of losing her mother, so she tries her best to help the baby elephant reunite with its mother. spiritual growth.

She no longer needs a key around her neck to open her heart lock, and Dumbo no longer needs the stimulation of a tiny feather to fly.

There are no miracles in the world, but I firmly believe that it is enough. It is the value of this film to give children's minds the wings of unlimited imagination and to make them believe that they can fly through hard work.
