Introduction: This thesis will analyze the content, character, picture style, color, scene and music of "Crazy Date in the Beautiful City" to analyze why this film is popular among the public after breaking the Disney circle, as well as some details of the film metaphor. General "Crazy Dating Beautiful City" is a famous French animated film, but it is not suitable for children to watch, this is a cartoon for adults. The whole film has almost no lines, and tells a touching story with a silent emotional world, which is inseparable from the exaggerated painting style, music, hand-painted style and color. Introduction: "Crazy Dating Mirador" (hereinafter referred to as "Merido") is the most impressive movie since I started watching animated movies. It may not be the best animation, but it always reminds me of some details from time to time, and pondered over and over again. French animation is not like American animation, it is relatively young and perfect. Even if the film may be impeccable, it will not make people recall it repeatedly. French animation is not only animation, but also art. Whether it is picture style, color or music, it is even more absurd and banter. Analysis of the content of the film Before choosing this animation, I also watched a lot of other French animations. The painting style of "Aeter and the Senna" is fresh and cute. It tells about the feelings that can cross species, and it also shows that adults always tell it to save trouble. Some of us are not necessarily right, most of the time we are biased. Compared with the American spoof clay animation, the French clay is more pleasing. The story of "The Life of Zucchini" is simple, but it can move people's tears. In fact, children understand everything, and their hearts are more fragile; "Mary and Marx" surprised me. The monochrome pictures are in two different but similar situations. Switching between people, letters and chocolates connect them to become each other's best and only friends. What differentiates "Beautiful City" from these cartoons is that it has a poor ending, and a few lines can make people cry. There's also a touch of cold humor, a touch of sadness, and an air of nostalgia that permeates the story. The story told throughout the film is simple. The protagonist has lived with his grandmother since childhood, and has a dog that has a shadow on the train. Grandma found out that he likes bicycles with autism and started a coaching trip, but was kidnapped by gangsters in the bicycle race. Grandma and the fat dog embark on a rescue journey, and in Meidu, they meet the three sisters who accompany them on TV, and finally save their grandson. The irony is that the "Statue of Liberty" in this Mirador became fat and bloated because of eating hamburgers for a long time, and the "Three Sisters of Mirador" who are popular all over the country are no longer beautiful. Time has made them old and ugly. Although the three sisters lost their youthful and beautiful faces, their enthusiasm and optimistic attitude towards life have not changed. When they met the grandma who was drifting away in order to rescue her grandson, they took her in and helped her fight against evil forces despite the danger. . Although the grandson doesn't like to talk, he always knows his grandmother's love in his heart. No matter the weather is sunny or rainy, the sound of grandma's whistle always accompanies him to practice. The massage after returning home looks simple and rude. Dog obsessed with trains. The grandfather and grandson at the beginning of the movie are watching a movie. At the end of the movie, his grandma asks him if the movie is over? And until the end of the movie milk After the milk died, he replied, "The movie is over, grandma." 3. Character analysis of the film In "Beautiful City", all the images are exaggerated and the characters are clearly set. The grandson has always been expressionless, his face is sharp, he has a long nose and he will not react too much no matter what he encounters, and his body is abnormally deformed; while the grandmother has a short stature, an ugly face, and her legs are high and low. , need to put feet to balance; the pet dog he raises is abnormally fat, and he has to drag his sagging belly upstairs with difficulty. They are all squares, dressed in black suits, mass-produced like a mold, always wearing sunglasses and unable to see their faces; the waiter in the restaurant has a soft figure and uses a low posture to please powerful guests; and the repairman is extremely short , going in and out of various "holes" like a mouse, promoting dirty transactions... The most important thing when designing a character is to consider whether it is distinct and whether it can impress the audience, so in the play and animation, the characters will be as much as possible. exaggeration, highlighting the character. And the character setting of "Beautiful City" is that people have to notice the peculiar characteristics of these images. From the perspective of visual perception, all the images in the film are ugly, and it is impossible to distinguish the quality of the task from the image as in other films, but it can analyze the character's task personality characteristics from it. This is the black humor of the film. where the charm lies. 4. Analysis of the hand-painted style in the film Style is the expression of personality in animation creation, so there are various styles, and the style needs to be matched with factors such as scene and soundtrack. The unique characters of "Crazy Dating Beautiful City" contributed to the formation of exaggerated styles. The exaggerated film style complements the exaggerated character modeling. When portraying the characters, the director abandoned the general rounded lines, and chose powerful lines, which made people not feel boring, and emphasized the spiritual connotation of the film. 5. Color analysis in the film In the silent animated film "Crazy Date in the Beautiful City", the control of color and tone is particularly important, which can well convey the delicate emotions of the characters. In terms of tones, "Crazy Dating Beautiful City" mainly uses two tones, black and white and color. We can feel the romance of the French but also some sadness and nostalgia. The film begins with black and white tones, and the costumes and styles of the characters on the stage in the picture can feel nostalgic, and at this time the title of the film "Miraidu" appears with the effect of deliberately scratching it, which is a worn film. It is unique and highlights the nostalgic feeling at the beginning. the next painting The face is the scene of grandparents and grandchildren sitting in front of a black and white TV with snowflakes. The black and white tones in the film are not limited to this. The use of black and white tones allows the audience to better perceive the relationship between time and space, and can also stimulate the audience's emotions. The color tone in the film also drives the audience's subjective mood changes. The color part of the movie has a strong subjective color. In recent years, "Today and Hexi" has done a good job in subjective color, which perfectly shows the different colors of the picture under the different moods of the protagonist. The subjective emotional colors of characters can always be conveyed to the audience the fastest, so the connection of each color cannot be too random, and must be carefully designed by people who have strong control over colors. The emotions of the characters in "Beautiful City" do not fluctuate greatly, but are delicate and soft. When the grandmother wanted to teach her grandson to play the piano, the color of the picture warmed up, and the reddish color made people feel warm, and then the grandmother found that the grandson was not interested in it and the color changed, showing a purple color. The tones start to warm again when grandma finds out that her grandson likes bikes, and the picture reaches a bright yellow when the grandson and grandson ride their bikes in the yard. The change in the color tone of the picture allows us to directly feel the emotional changes of the grandparents and grandchildren without the need for dialogue. 6. Analysis of the music in the film The importance of the soundtrack of the film is self-evident. If it is used properly, it will make people hear the music again, and the scene of the film will be full of scenes. Improper use will only make people feel abrupt. The music of "Beautiful City" is not abrupt, but achieves each other. The singing of the three sisters in the opening chapter is necessary, and the three sisters in the back take their grandmother to beat the music with various instruments in life, which will make the characters more distinct. This film originally had very few lines and dialogues, and the right amount of music can promote the development of the story. Seven, the scene analysis in the film I want to use a few more impressive scenes to make an analysis of the film. The scene where grandma takes her grandson to relax after training: Grandma rides behind her grandson and blows a whistle. After returning home, she uses a vacuum cleaner, an egg beater and a brush to massage and relax her grandson. Love. Then he let his grandson sit on the scale to eat, and repaired the bicycle by himself, while the dog looked at the rice bowl, dragged its fat stomach upstairs and barked at the train when the train was approaching. After eating, the grandson dumped the rest to the dog, and started entertainment by himself--the pedal drives the gramophone, so as to listen to music, and finally fell asleep on the bicycle. Poster on the wall. I was surprised when I first saw "Massage Equipment", and presumably other viewers were also surprised, but it makes sense after thinking about it, because the task is The arrangement is like this, plus the grandma's family is not rich, and the best she can give, such details reflect her love; and the proficiency of repairing bicycles reflects that this is already a routine, To this extent; dogs were so obsessed with trains because they were run over their tails by a "train" when they were young. However, at that time, the poor could not afford to ride trains, so the struggle against trains was more about the poor against assets. The struggle of the exploiting classes; the poster in the final room and the photo of the grandson growing up tell the story of the passage of time, and it is also evident from this detail that it is not only the color that reflects the nostalgia. 2. The scene when grandma first arrived in Mirador: After a long time of wandering, grandma and the dog came to the burger shop due to hunger, and the lady boss's flattery last second immediately changed when she saw that the two had no money. A mean look "no money, no hamburgers".

3. In the movie plot of grandma and grandson at the title, the audience under the stage is composed of obese people and extremely thin people, and most of them are giants watching under the stage in various poses, even before entering the theater. There are also skinny people caught in the slits of the thighs, and the dancers who danced on the stage almost broke the room, and the dancers who were eaten by their own shoes. Everything is absurd and nonsensical. 8. The epilogue "Crazy Dating Beautiful City" adopts a form similar to a silent film, and the good people are portrayed more beautifully in silence, and the evil people become more sinister. In the movie, Chaplin led the silent film, and the role of the animation industry "Beautiful City" also contributed. In this film, the shaping of the characters' characters, the design of the overall style and color, and the ingenious integration of music convey the psychological and emotional changes of the characters in the animation to the audience, innovating the animation creation technology.
