A cartoon for grownup to watch

I listened to the radio two weeks ago and said that a cartoon well received by neuroscientists was about to be released. The trailer is actually numb, and it is far less attractive than the minions I saw in the same period, but because of curiosity about how a cartoon can scientifically explain the interpretation of emotions and memories, I still entered the movie theater.

At the beginning of the movie, just after lunch, I felt sleepy. The first half is paving the way, watching struggles on the edge of falling asleep.

From the collapse of Goofball island, he was suddenly held tightly. Growing up is not easy at all, with the passing of innocence, those silly childhoods, pure unknowing joys do not know when to leave. The so-called price of growth.

When Bing Bong's eyes flashed and figured out a way to send Joy back to the Land of Memory, I started to feel anxious and sad. I don't know how many intimate companions I have in my childhood, which are regarded as treasures. Whether it is a thing or a person, separated and far away will release us to move forward more easily. Those objects, or once close friends, look at us as we drift away and feel relieved like Bing Bong?

But what moved me most was the film's cherishment of sadness. Bing Bong's car was thrown into the abyss of oblivion. He sat on the edge of the cliff and wept. Joy continued to encourage him and amuse him, but to no avail. Sadness moved over stupidly, sat down beside Bing Bong, listened to him, told him that this was indeed a sad thing, he understood. "Compassion" is the better medicine.

Joy finally looked for sadness, she said, "Let me think about it, if I were sadness, what would I be doing?" So she lay down, sentimental like sadness, even tilted her calves, waiting for others to pull like sadness. She goes. Once again, put yourself in someone else's shoes, and use this to connect with each other and find each other.

The most touching thing is that Joy understands that only with sadness can they find their way back. She had been careful to protect the glass balls of key memories before, for fear of letting sadness touch them, for fear that the glass balls would be stained with blue sadness. But until the end, she saw the picture in the key memory, sadness once appeared before joy. She suddenly understood that only by facing, accepting, and embracing sadness, can we truly have richer emotions and more levels of happiness.
Growing up is to understand more and more that tears can make laughter sweeter, the night makes the sunrise brighter, and disputes can make two people closer. Everything is interdependent and indispensable, just like Jason mraz's life is wonderful.

It takes a night to make it dawn
And it takes a day to make you yawn brother
And it takes some old to make you young
It takes some cold to know the sun
It takes the one to have the other

And it takes no time to fall in love
But it takes you years to know what love is
It takes some fears to make you trust
It takes those tears to make it rust
It takes the dust to have it polished

It takes some silence to make sound
It takes a loss before you found it
And it takes a road to go nowhere
It takes a toll to make you care
It takes a hole to make a mountain


This reminds me of a TED talk I saw seven days ago, http://www .ted.com/talks/laura_carstensen_older_people_are_happier?language=en . This is Laura Carstensen, a professor at the Stanford Longevity Center. She said that their research found that older people are happier. This is not because they are really easier to be happy than young people, but because they are more worthy of life and spend time in deeper relationships. They know what vitality is more worth cherishing, easier to feel, and remember the positive aspects of life. . And sadness, they can have more complex emotions, she said, "tear in the eye when you're smiling". Yes, knowing the happiness after sadness is more moving.

Making this movie is an ambitious adventure. Because the market and other commercial cartoons may not be comparable at all, he is like a serious film in cartoons. There are no eternal heroes and villains in other cartoons, no cute shapes, cool scenes, and ups and downs. Science is a selling point for some people, and may be a poison for more people. However, for me, this is a "great" cartoon that adults shoot for adults.
