There are three things that attract me about this film. The first point is that it is very common. I like watching movies where the male protagonist grows up. , the director wants the story to twist and turn away from the traditional growth story, but this is also a disadvantage. Every emotional entry point is too abrupt, but the theme of the male protagonist returns to the original family, eliminating the estrangement with his father is a breakthrough, right? ) The third point, which is also my favorite point, preaches that growth must be paid for. Many domestic movies are about the beauty of growth, ignoring the cruelty of growth. I think this is the Chinese people's cruelty to the Japanese-style youth story It's hard to understand, but I accept Disney and other European and American animations very well, because most of the European and American animations have happy endings, and the protagonist will realize his wishes after going through hardships, but this kind of film can't be popular (the consumer group is not a fool, for sure In the end, it will return to reality.) What I did better is How to Train Your Dragon, I think this is the benchmark. The male protagonist changed himself and changed his father, but in the end, what made me feel lost was that Toothless lost half of his tail. , the male protagonist lost a leg. The son of a monster is also the same. The male protagonist has lost his mother and master, and has grown up. He cherishes his current life even more. The master is also at the cost of losing his life in order to walk his own path and protect his beloved (this is how I understand it), that is, growing up For the price, we have watched a lot of domestic films of the same type, so many people in China have mixed reviews for such films as "Battle Royale", "Confession" and "Lily Zhou". I just watched it for fun at first. Later, I found out that this kind of film may have a dark theme and exaggerated (actually, I don’t think it is an exaggeration, because the parents in China don’t understand campus violence and the power of cold explosion at all, and the soul that is born in this can’t be spotless, and I am such a victim. ) but conveys a good, upward value.
If you think about it carefully, we are Lian, the rationality and sensibility represented by the two friends around the master, the pig monk, the mentor around us, the character of chicken soup, without such a person you cannot establish a correct and positive outlook on life, while the other It is a setback. He does not need your approval. He will punch you hard when you are lost and make you give up. This is negative, but it is also the fluctuation point of our life, that is, a challenge.
On the whole, Son of the Monster is still very good. The reason for the four-star rating is that the emotional line of the plot is too complicated.
