Uphold the justice of love

First, let me talk about the general impression of this film: a qualified comedy cartoon, I am willing to go into the cinema for it.

The plot is a consistent routine: the star agent Lance has always adhered to the use of violence to control violence, and was forced to bind with the geek scientist Walter in the process of being framed by the villain BOSS, and the story of defeating the villain with a lot of laughter along the way.

Humor:

1. Bird unbird

Lance was turned into a bird, and the English bird is used as a verb, which corresponds to the Chinese "bird" you and "not bird" you. When I saw this passage, I couldn't help laughing out loud, feeling the magic of the language.

2. Transformed various "bird" stems

Although he was a strong man, he lay an egg because he used the feathers of a small female bird when he transformed. Hahaha~ and the 360° panoramic view, and the embarrassment of the cloaca.

The interaction between Walter's bird and Lance's transformed bird. Especially the feathers on the neck are realistic and cute, so I really want to touch them.

3. Walter's various magical props

Although it is a "bird" drama, it is inevitable to pull the cat out and sell it cute, but everyone buys it.

At the critical moment, it must play an important role~ but this part feels a little weak, and there is no bright design.

Control violence with violence VS embrace the world with love

This is probably an important theme in the war between justice and evil.

As an agent, Lance is a representative of violence. As a member of the national violence machine, his use of violence to wipe out the underworld and evil forces is indeed unfavorable in the past. This made him firmer in his approach and belief.

Sometimes, we can indeed feel that violence is necessary. Without a national violence agency, there will be a lot of lack of security.

But sometimes, this kind of violence and rights also make us feel insecure.

Walter is the embodiment of idealism.

As a member of the state apparatus, mother sacrificed to protect the masses against evil forces. Walter did not "crook" because of this incident, but rather firmly believes that love can influence the world. The interaction between him and his mother in the opening shows how well the child was educated since he was a child, and he grew up in an environment full of love and positive energy. This is what we should best bring to our children. Even if he can't be as smart as Walter, he must be happy. The world in his eyes is beautiful, and what he gives back to the world must be beautiful.

This reminds me of the male protagonist Shota Ka in the Japanese drama "It's Your Turn", giving the enemy a hug and reforming him. It is a god-like operation.

When these two people meet, it will inevitably arouse a lot of sparks.

In the end, as a cartoon, it is natural that "love" triumphs over everything.

But adults understand that this is an ideal, not a reality.

But it does not affect us to maintain this beautiful dream.

weird VS normal

The adjective that appears most often in the film is "weird". The Oxford dictionary's explanation is "strange, unusual, weird".

It has a slightly derogatory meaning in English semantics, so Walter is unacceptable for others to describe him as "weird".

People always instinctively reject dissidents, people and things that they can't accept and that don't match their own perceptions.

Walter is more unique than weird.

People nowadays increasingly want to be different and don't want to send everyone out. That represents ordinary, that represents mediocrity. This world admires individuality and hates mediocrity.

After all, the world is pushed forward by this group of weird people.

But I think, whether weird or normal, they are guiding the world in their own way. Big power has a big effect, and small power has a small effect. Neither can be ignored. The most common people in the world are ordinary people.

You are who you are, and everyone is unique. Even if you have the same points as many people, the combination of you is not the same. People have so many characteristics, and the possibility of permutation and combination is far greater than that of the world's population.

There is no need to be special for the sake of being special.
