Goodbye my dear peter pan

[My life is near dusk, and the twilight has come. My old style and honor have disappeared. They disappeared with the afterglow along with the vision of the past career. The memories of the past are wonderful and beautiful, soaked with tears and the comfort and caress of yesterday's smile. I listened hard but in vain, eager to hear the faint and charming melody of the bugle's wake-up call, and the moving rhythm of the rapid beat of the drums in the distance. In my dream, I vaguely heard the roar of cannons, the firing of muskets, and the strange and sad moans on the battlefield. ] (From 1962, MacArthur’s last visit to West Point Military Academy to give a speech "Responsibility, Honor, Country") On May 3, 1951, General MacArthur retired after being questioned by the High Court’s Military and Diplomatic Cooperation Committee. Although we are now talking about using the available historical data to analyze his retirement due to his arrogance or arrogance, whether he said his actions would seriously threaten China. However, if we close the history book and touch his heart purely with sensibility, what we can read between the lines of his article is just a half-century of nostalgia for his army by a veteran. [Veterans do not die, but wither] This sentence can be circulated regardless of nationality, political party, or even occupation, because it touched the late heroic heart of all "veterans". As the third part of the Cars series, it may even be the finale. The center of the story finally returns to McQueen (in my mind, the second part is "Banya Gaiden"), but it is different from the first part. High-spirited, this one has a lot of bitterness that we didn't realize we would see in animated movies. This is really Pixar style.

[How do you know when you should retire? 】 【Your junior will tell you. ] Eleven years have passed hurriedly, and even the incredible rookie kid in Cars1 is no longer young. The generation of talented people has made the future road in front of the former Lightning 95 seem less clear. When McQueen, who was driven by that unacceptable heart, leaped into the air because of loss of control, the body was spinning in the air, the iron sheet fell to the ground, rubbed against the ground, and debris splashed, and Dr. Blue Sky and Blue Sky appeared in my mind. The injury of the king at the end of the first part is the prelude to the end of their legend. But even so, because it was McQueen, I was distressed but never worried. He is a natural racing car, and the field is his world. Even if other old cars leave the field, he should always be the first boy who is dragged and sluggish. He has been running on the field and will never call the curtain.

[How do you know you can run when you play your first game? 】 【I...I don't know...I never thought I couldn't. 】 McQueen should be like this, so he will defeat Black Storm Jackson according to his routine, right? Everyone is looking forward to the plot of death and resurrection, and looking forward to the last respect of the former legend in the new era, but there is no, waiting for him and us, only "reality". Dynasties go round, heroes pass away. We can only see McQueen running in the sand over and over again, but the speed is getting slower and slower. He trained hard and finally lost to Sister Cool. We also have to admit that McQueen is old, really old, at least for this sport he is really no longer young. The reality of the world is cruel, and the years show no mercy to every hero once. The ruthlessness of time is destined that new things will one day replace old things. Except for the lost legends, nothing can be immortal. I understand all these truths, but when we really face it, there is only dissatisfaction and sorrow in our hearts. Since ancient times, beauties are like famous generals, and they are not allowed to see white heads in the world. The red car in the auditorium was still shouting his name, just as McQueen was full of spirits at Cars1, but McQueen already knew it and chose his future path. Even though we haven't reacted yet, he has accepted everything. Just like those legends who drank in the bar leisurely, his era has ended. When McQueen put on his headphones and started on the podium, I vaguely saw the encouraging smile of the doctor, the experienced veteran racing driver and the motivated newcomer, and the legendary handover. Although I still don't want to see the hero's twilight in my heart, I still hope that McQueen will win one game at last and then retire to cultivate a cool sister, but I know that he has made his own choice. The legend is still passed on, but after all, the heroic era has been goodbye, and even those audiences who grew up with McQueen have to grow up to say goodbye to their past selves. I have to say that Pixar is Pixar. It uses a movie to tell children about the loneliness that adults understand. You have no way of refuting the law of growth, and you can only accept it frankly. At the end of the story, when McQueen painted himself black and inherited the will of Dr. Lantian, I knew he really looked away. Like everyone who is aware of the changes in the times, he accepted the reality and retreated. Embarked on the path of a teacher and passed on the legend. I have to admit that if McQueen exists in the real world, this ending is the best. After all, no one can be young forever, and aging cannot be avoided and reversed. But for those of us who have been with us since cars1 For the audience around Kun, the farewell is still too unprepared, just as Andy gave out all the toys in Toy Story 3, suddenly throwing our youth in place. With McQueen moving behind the scenes, our childhood has also retired. I don’t know if the story is over. Maybe McQueen painted himself red and returned to the runway and the engine roared. Maybe he would stay behind the scenes like Dr. Blue Sky and send the news of Sister Cool as a letter. For Lao Mo, maybe next year or the year after, or the year after, Cars' story will continue, but these are not important anymore. Pixar told us in such a direct way that you have grown up too, frankly and mercilessly, but we should accept it. For me, Cars3 is not a movie made by Pixar for children, but a song written to those who have been with McQueen a dozen years ago and have grown up. We should also talk to those who were once in childhood. Innocent and naive say goodbye. Goodbye, my dear Lightning boy. Goodbye, my dear Peter Pan.

    Lightning McQueen: [starts riving his engine in front of a mirror] I'm coming for you, Storm.

  • Cruz Ramirez: [Cruz is watching the news with a trophy while Lightning is completely miffed] So... trophy's kinda nice. Don't you think?

    [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]
