On how to open a gorgeous and scientific brain hole

Brainstorming has never been a problem for Pixar. From the animism of "Toy Story", to the deep feelings of fish and water in "Finding Nemo", to the friendship of "Monster Electric Company", to "Robots" The apocalyptic love in "Story", and then to the caring empty-nest old man in "Flying House", the brains are open more than one. When it comes to "Brain Squad", Pixar finally released the ultimate big move, and they opened a brain hole. The model room, the super large-scale super-large space, the decoration is opened and you can watch it, they actually compiled a film, just talk about the brain itself!
So we saw the magnificence of the brain hole, the real-time 3DIMAX panoramic giant screen super luxurious central control outdoor with a fully intelligent operating table, covering a huge storage space of N bird’s nest, comparable to the fantasy playground of Disneyland plus the outlying island theme park, The vast landfill with super suction power and invincibility, plus a lot of diligent and loyal villains, is simply perfect!
However, it’s not good if you don’t want to use it in the brain hole. The light is not gorgeous enough, and science must be run to prevent the brain hole from turning into a black hole. So it's really amazing. The brain-hole journey made by Pixar this time can be called a textbook of brain function. It can be used as an introductory science for children to understand the brain and brain function. It is both interesting and professional. There are a few conclusions:
1. Basic emotions and functions of emotions
People actually have six basic emotions: joy, sadness, fear, disgust, anger, and surprise. The so-called basic emotions refer to emotions that have evolutionary significance and are culturally consistent. Maybe it's surprised that it's not easy to act. Only the first five are concreteized in the movie. The five villains perform their duties and are in charge of the emotions of the little master. Happiness (lele) usually dominates, sadness (worry) is not welcome. Those who don't want to laugh often in their lives will naturally be unwelcome. However, what is the meaning of happiness without experiencing sadness? From an evolutionary perspective, each emotion has a unique effect that is conducive to our survival. Happiness makes us love this world, sorrow reminds us of loss, fear keeps us away from danger, disgust helps us avoid threats, anger motivates us to fight bravely, and none is indispensable. Moderate grief allows us to appreciate the depression of others, willing to listen to and comfort others. Moderate grief also allows us to show weakness to open up our hearts and win the care and comfort of others. Happiness and pain are intertwined, sorrow and joy are mixed, and only when you lose and gain coexistence can you grow. In the end, Lele understood this. Therefore, subjective well-being in the psychological sense is equal to more positive emotions plus less negative emotions, not without negative emotions, this is the truth. This truth can be told with such a vivid story, which is eye-opening.
2. The storage and disappearance of long-term memories. The
human brain does have a long-term memory bank with unlimited capacity, which retains evidence that we have left traces in the human world (those memory balls look really fresh and delicious and want to eat it. Haha ). It is a pity that although the capacity of the long-term memory is unlimited, forgetting occurs. The memory that has not been retrieved and reviewed for a long time may fade, and finally enter the "landfill", and the spring dream will not be traced.
3. The abstract thinking and cognitive shortcut
popsicles that took Lele and worry to take a shortcut to catch the train is very exciting. The four steps of abstract thinking are very vivid. What's interesting is that when we use abstract thinking, we sometimes really "cut corners". For example, when we process a person, we abstract thinking into "lawyer", "doctor", "Korean", and "Japanese". , And then use the corresponding stereotypes to perceive them, is to take the shortcut of cognition, in order to understand and understand them most quickly, but sometimes the prejudice is also caused by this.
4. Key events and character shaping
The core memory of the young master in the film has become the main support for her character shaping. The core memory collapses and the character collapses accordingly. Although there is no such mysterious one-to-one correspondence in reality, major events in our lives, especially some key events that occurred in the early years, do have a decisive effect on our character development. These have been proven by scientific research.
5. The REM sleep and dream dream
factory section is very funny. As soon as the little master is REM sleep (that is, dreaming), the dream factory will start, and the screenwriter will exaggerate and distort it based on the life events and main emotions experienced that day. Then he changed his head to show it in black and white, so "Thinking about the day and dreaming the night" is correct.
6. The closed subconscious
master's subconscious warehouse is a dark and terrifying place, and there are heavily guarded, there are some things that she fears and dare not face. This is also in line with Freud's subconscious theory.
7. The sacrifice of popsicles and the progress of happiness
that touched me most is that popsicles sacrificed themselves in order to help Lele return to the center of his brain. The popsicle is a playmate that the young master imagined when he was young. He was unreal and even out of breath. He chooses to be forgotten forever and disappear silently into the deep valley of memory, just like when we are growing up, when we learn to enjoy the happiness of the next stage, we always give up the happiness of the previous stage.

In short, Pixar has opened a very gorgeous and professional brain hole this time, and talked about a minimalist and deep truth: that is life with laughter and tears! Awesome!
