The end and continuation of the Cars series

Cleve 2021-12-20 08:01:08

I just took my kids to watch Cars 3 in the theater. It may be the last part of this series.
When I showed children the first and second parts, it was three or four years ago.
The topic of retirement was mentioned at the beginning, and there was a hunch: This is an animated version of Wolverine 3.
But, after all, different from the live-action cartoon movie, Hugh Jackman will grow old, not cartoon characters, you see this Japanese cartoon set aside forever pupils: Conan, Nobita ......
PIXAR chose not to follow the routine the cards, just like Many years ago, it ended TOY, which happened to be three parts. The little boy grew up to be a college student, always stepping into the adult world and saying goodbye to toys.
Watching the movie continue, I see McQueen reluctant to accept the old, and is confident that he will win the championship in the new season. Thinking that this year is as powerful as Fei Niu and natto ten years ago, could McQueen have to keep up with the trend and work hard to become stronger. , Revive?
PIXAR does not make this kind of chicken soup. Although McQueen actively asked for training, there were a lot of foreshadowings in the process, which all hinted that this little yellow car named Cool sister is quite talented in racing. She also confided her dream of racing to McQueen. Talent + dreams are still growing in the process, so many factors are doomed to the end. Especially, Lao Mo showed the letter from Dr. Lantian, and the letters on a wall were all about McQueen. Dr. Blue Sky directed McQueen to become a champion and even one of the greatest cars in Piston Cup history. Dr. Lantian finally recovered the meaning of life and his confidence in life.
Oh, I'm completely dead at this time, McQueen's road to championship is over.
His other path opened.
inherited. It's like Old Mo passed it to Dr. Lantian, Dr. Lantian passed it to McQueen, and McQueen passed it to Sister Ku.
The inheritance is the car skills, the honor, and more importantly, the cognition, understanding and grasp of the value of life.
This is both the end and the eternity.
This also happened to take care of the first part. In the most exciting final of the first part, McQueen did not win the championship. He gave up the sprint in order to let the older generation champions leave the field with dignity.
Similarly, in the third part, when it reached the exciting finals, McQueen gave up the track. He gave trust and opportunities to the new generation of champions, inspiring and guiding the cool sister to win the first competition, and the opening belongs to her. Era.
For McQueen racing car, the meaning of life lies in the race, but not in the championship.

    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!

    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]
