Friendship eventually becomes a victim of profit

The film was screened for twenty minutes, and when toothless smiled at hiccup, I was wondering how the ending would be interpreted.

Predatory food is the most fundamental contradiction, and it is hard to laugh and revenge for a long time between humans and dragons.
Then the story happened and you caught a dragon.
If you have not caught the Dragon King’s son and cannot move the Dragon King of the Quan Qing court to change his mind, there will be no reconciliation between humans and dragons. Even if reconciliation, it must be separation, because people need their own food, and dragons also need their own food.
If you have not caught a powerful dragon, but a small one, you can use it as your own pet, or feed or caress or play, but it cannot change your destiny and its destiny, let alone change people and dragons. The relationship between.
Let's face it, you have caught a dragon. It is not a powerful dragon and cannot be used as a reconciliation at the end of the war; it is not a low-level creature, so you have the opportunity to change your own destiny. What are you going to do? In order to win the trust of the people and change their minds, you can only use this dragon to conquer other dragons. In this conquest, it is not you who suffer, but your dragon.
So, unsurprisingly, there must be contradictions in the dragon world, there must be an object you can defeat, and after you kill it, not only the dragon world will cheer, but the human world will also cheer. In this story, the victim is the dragon. The dragon appeared so abruptly that it only appeared in the last half an hour. Before this, all Vikings had no idea about its existence. The story goes on smoothly. Drive your little dragon and kill the evil old dragon. From then on, the world is in harmony.

In fact, how the dragon’s world has to do with the Vikings; what do they do with you if they are willing to bring back food for them, or become food in their mouths. Therefore, for the happy ending, DreamWorks had to design the dragon as the ultimate BOSS and kill it to maintain the friendship with toothless. The Vikings also succeeded in turning the dragon into their own pet.
In this story, the friendship between different races that was built up with great pains eventually became a victim of interest. On the surface, there was a lot of harmony, and the dragons were happy that they didn't need to feed, and the Vikings were able to rebuild their homes, even more luxurious and beautiful.

So you are once again washed by American nationalism. In such a story, except the main perspective is justice and omnipotence, the other worlds are ruled by evil and barbarism. All we have to instigate their elites, and then use them to let the lord destroy himself. Then we became good friends with them. They are not pets like horses or birds. They can help us build a paradise in the snow in September and the frozen world in March. We did not enslaved them, we just helped them escape slavery and violence, and thrive ever since.
The patriarch said that this is exactly what we have always wanted. Destroyed the dragon's den, my little hiccup also got a pet, and because he lost a foot, he has been with toothless since then, and the love in the dream suddenly came after waking up.
No one is persecuting anyone, no one is tempting anyone. We have not promised you a bright future. Only behind the anthropocentric or American-centric arguments, friendship with foreign races will inevitably become a victim of interest.

When the whole story is that A hurts B and wins B’s trust by caring for B. Then when A suffers and B fights to save him, A and B eventually destroy the evil leader of the B world with B. In the end, A and B In the world reconciliation, the people of A have permanently enslaved the people of B, only when A and B enjoy their friendship happily; I laughed and said nothing. Although this film has detailed dragon settings and overhead assumptions about another world, it is very beautiful and very good. But compared with the Avatar directed by Cameron, he couldn't escape the clichés after all.

So I only give this film four points. In addition to the indispensable clichés, the deducted point is also the love that is added to it. In this story, love is meaningless for dragon training. Hiccup is really obsessed with the heroine, but he did not work hard because of her. All he did was for toothless. Even when he and toothless tried their best to please the heroine, he just said that we must make her like it, otherwise We are all over. So, this is not love, it's just that he succeeded, and the woman he was obsessed with was finally attracted by him.
Of course, it got four points in the end, DreamWorks finally learned to tell stories, and finally was able to keep up with the general trend of 3D, and then it continued to affect the heartbeat of children with joy, tension, beautiful scenery, and a happy ending. Therefore, from the standpoint of sales, it is a successful commercial film.

    Although it is not as deep as Pixar, and the storyline is slightly old-fashioned, a good movie can immerse the audience in it, whether it's using pictures, music or other things. It is a pity to miss the schedule and not go to the cinema to watch 3D. Fortunately, the 720p effect is also very good. This should be the best cartoon I have watched so far this year. ★★★★☆

How to Train Your Dragon quotes

  • Hiccup: [Stoick has just thrust a large battle axe into his hands] I... don't wanna fight dragons.

    Stoick: [chuckles] Oh, come on, yes you do.

    Hiccup: Rephrase: Dad, I *can't* kill dragons.

    Stoick: But you *will* kill dragons!

    Hiccup: No, I'm really, very extra sure that I *won't*.

    Stoick: It's time, Hiccup...

    Hiccup: Can you not *hear* me?

    Stoick: This is *serious*, son. When you carry this axe, you carry all of us with you. Which means, you walk like us, you talk like us, and you think like us. No more of... this!

    [gestures to all of Hiccup]

    Hiccup: [miffed] You just gestured to *all* of me.

    Stoick: Deal?

    Hiccup: This conversation is feeling very one-sided...

    Stoick: *Deal*?

    Hiccup: [sighs, giving in] Deal.

  • Gobber: [to Hiccup during dragon training] Don't worry. You're small and you're weak. That'll make you less of a target! They'll see you as sick or insane and go after the more viking-like teens instead.
