Many people ask: Why is this movie called "Brave"? brave. The protagonist in this movie has done things that the protagonists in countless other movies have done. People never call themselves Brave. Why is this film so eloquent, called "Brave"? After many people asked this question, they said that Pixar was making a mystery this time and took the wrong name, even if they answered their own question.
But check it more and you will find that the film was originally called "The Bear and the Bow", which seemed more suitable for the film, but it was changed later. This shows that the creators have thought about naming, and they used the name to give the audience a clue for serious thinking. Brave, where is the bravery? In what way are you brave? Can you see it? Are they really fooling around?
At first glance, there is nothing innovative about Brave. There is no innovation from Pixar, so everyone feels dissatisfied, at least it is a pity. It's just another princess movie, horseback riding and archery like "Mulan", red hair from "Little Mermaid", and closeness to nature like "Pocahontas". . . Just count them, just count them.
Pixar's first animated feature film with girls as the protagonist is so similar to Disney. Is it really "black near the ink"? Or is it that the girl’s animation has to be the protagonist of the princess? Why did they shoot a story of a princess with so many female characters who can be unconventional?
When watching "Brave", at first I thought that the blue wildfire would lead the little princess to danger, or at least to a wonderland, and then show her bravery, but it didn't. Then I thought that the bear would kill the king, and the father-in-law faced the plight of the fatherless, and then showed her bravery, but it didn't. Then I thought she bravely rebelled against her mother, ran away from home, and met a prince! ! ! Really, where's the prince? Where is the prince? When the film was close to the middle, I had been subconsciously looking for a male character with prince qualifications, but I was looking for it. The male characters are all responsible for making fun of them. Unknowingly, this film attracted me deeply, because it looks very old, but the plot direction is unexpected. For example, the princess came out to shoot arrows on behalf of herself. The slow motion of the arrow splitting the previous arrow was an old bridge, but the magical arrow technique did not bring the princess the cheers that would appear in ordinary movies, but embarrassment and anger. Let’s go on, let’s stop if you want to reveal the main plot spoiler, but what I want to say you must have seen: "Brave" is innovative. It uses old bridges. You are not afraid to use bridges, but it does it every time. Rub it along the edge of the cookie cutter and turn in the other direction. This is undoubtedly more difficult.
For Pixar, relying on Disney's owner, but making a princess movie, the ugly talk is a cocoon, and the good talk is that it knows that there are tigers in the mountains and is inclined to go to the mountains. It takes a lot of courage and skill to shoot such old-fashioned subject matter.
Speaking of courage, there are many kinds of courage, and there are really many kinds. If you don't follow the trend of scolding Liu Xiang on Weibo, it is considered one kind. Usually the bravery in the story is nothing more than daring to fight, daring to resist, daring to confront fate, daring to see death as home, or obeying death, etc. In "Brave", the princess is indeed brave, archery, rock climbing, not afraid of the dark, rebelling against her mother, but these bravery can be used to make a fuss, the film is lightly let go, what is more, some bravery not only has not been resolved Problems, on the contrary, gave birth to contradictions. This film just wants to deal with a kind of bravery: face up to the crisis that you have created, admit your own mistakes, let go of vanity and self-esteem, apologize to your loved ones, and really make a difference.
Yes, this is the kind of courage that "Brave" wants to praise. It must be said that this is a very meticulous bravery, and its carrier is the conflict between mother and daughter. Another thing I appreciate about this story is that it is a truly female film. Here, it completely parted ways with Disney. As mentioned above, the male characters in this film are all funny. Although necessary, they are essentially background. Just like in most movies, although female characters are necessary, they can be used as backgrounds. This film concentrates on the relationship and feelings between the daughter and the mother. It doesn't matter whether the prince has or not. And Disney movies always boil down to the prince and princess happily ever after, the masculine supremacy in the bones. So this princess is not the princess, telling a princess story without the prince may be one of the reasons why Pixar deliberately chose the princess.
Watching this movie with Peanut, it's fun. At the beginning, my mother hugged the little princess for a while, and Peanut chuckled: "Mom, she is like you!" After reading, she said to Peanut: "Are you going to change me?" She said, "No! You are not bad. Ah, no, you are the best mother." I was very happy to hear it, but I also wondered, in four or five years, she will enter the rebellious period, and she may not think I am a good mother. The mother and the adolescent daughter had a conflict, and they refused to give in to each other, and eventually hurt each other. Can everyone put aside their own face, and truly consider each other? Who dares to give a definite answer to this question? From the mother-daughter relationship to other aspects, among people, between people, between people, can you let go of the imaginary glory and give yourself and the other party a chance in the conflict? What kind of courage is needed to do so?
This movie does not seem to have the wrong name. It's not a Disney movie, it's still Pixar, and because it's more subtle, it's more memorable.
In terms of audiovisual, the film maintains Pixar's consistent standards, is fine and smooth, makes full use of Scottish elements, and the music is very good. The brightest are the three little red-haired princes. Peanut calls them "Weasley triplets", they are very cute. There is also a character called "MacIntosh". Check it back. MacIntosh is a common surname in Scotland. The word itself means a kind of apple. There are several shots of an apple being bitten in the film. At the end of the film, The subtitles read "In Memory of Steve Jobs".
On the way home, I talked to Peanut, and it suddenly occurred to me that the wood carving works ordered by the princess should be delivered two weeks later. If it was me, I would put a delivery egg at the end of the film. As a result, I looked at the crazy credit of imdb and found that there were eggs delivered by crows. We left early and didn't see them. gosh.
ps The usual short film is "Moon", the picture is very lovely and magnificent, it is a funny little story.
