You can think of this as a popcorn-style movie, because although it is an adventure and rescue, you know that the ending must be happy and the victory must belong to The Smurfs. As long as you keep stuffing popcorn in your mouth, drink a sip of Coke from time to time, and enjoy the gratuitous spoofing and the black-bellied Aziz cat being cute.
Of course, you can also bring a heart without a cocoon, or a heart like Xiaobian who wants to write a film review (will I tell you that I am crying?). Perhaps you will find that throughout the movie, Grid’s unscrupulous means, the secret recipe that we dream of turning gray elves blue is also what we want in our life: the
silly big gray elves Hekus whispered in tears: Hekus is going to turn blue. . It's a bit cautious while making people laugh at the same time. Owning the beautiful blue of the Smurfs was his and Wex’s dream. Although part of this dream is just to please the Grid Witch who created them, in his opinion, the gray elves are worthless. It is also because the blue of the Smurfs contains energy (the Grid Witch relies on this energy to support its magic), which symbolizes a kind of beauty.
We also live in such a Heikos in our hearts, eager to become better, eager to be valuable, and eager to be valued. After repeated frustrations, we also wanted to find someone to force him to hand over the secret recipe. complete in one step.
Gegewu wanted this secret recipe even more naked, and even kidnapped Sister Smurf: With it, he can turn the gray elves into blue at will, extract a large amount of smurf liquid, and control the earth. Not every big What bad guys want, hehe.
Unfortunately, we also have a witch in our hearts. I hope that there is a kind of magic that can turn the people around me into the way I like, useful to myself, and make myself comfortable. In the name of love, exercise control. However, things are counterproductive, sometimes the other party gets worse and worse, and sometimes the other party just goes against you in various ways.
Parents and children, boyfriends and girlfriends, bosses and subordinates. Isn't everyone wanting to control their own world, ha ha. We also want to ask: What is the secret formula that makes people change? !
what is it then?
At the end of the film, in order to save Heikos and Wex, the blue sister tearfully said the formula: mimosa blabla... plus a little love. This is the secret recipe for Papa Blue to turn her into a Smurf.
It’s the cliché, universal, but mysterious, rich and eternal "love", love, love... The
secret recipe is to be a better self: love yourself and firmly hold your "right to choose."
At the beginning of the movie, the blue sister cried Waking up from a nightmare. In the dream, her blue faded and she became the nasty little gray demon again. Dad Lan, who arrived in time, comforted her gently and said loudly: "Where you come from is not the most important thing, what matters is what kind of person you choose to be."
Firmly grasp the right to choose and do Better yourself, this is loving yourself.
This is not simple. Just like Blue Sister, who has lived in Mushroom Village for so long and has been a good Blue Sister for so many years, but the nightmare of the past still catches her. The evil Gege Witch is her "dad". The fact is her heart disease. If the air of love becomes thinner, the disease will be guilty. It's like being bored, always habitually being the person who complains negatively.
It is easy for us to surrender the scepter of "choice" without knowing it.
The two sisters argued fiercely, and the sister vowed not to talk to her sister again unless she apologized. She said angrily: I have no choice! A man felt that his friend had betrayed him. He severed the relationship with each other and declared: I have no choice! The male protagonist Patrick has always refused to recognize his stepfather, denying his love, and immersed in the sadness of his stepfather sending away his beloved parrot when he was a child. The subtext is also: You treat me this way! I can't accept you, I have no choice!
In such "no choice" after another, the relationship became broken, and I gradually became a self-pity, complaining, mediocre, and angry person. Don't we know that every time we say "I have no choice", we have actually made a choice? We chose not to communicate, not to forgive, and not to reconcile.
We are afraid of choice, because choice means change and responsibility, and change and responsibility mean uneasiness and restraint.
We naively think that if we keep things as they are and delay making changes, we can survive the difficulties. We don’t understand: if we don’t make a critical choice, we are actually choosing. If we don’t do anything, we are forcing change to happen to us. Not choosing is also a choice in itself.
We cannot completely choose our own relationships — we have no way to choose parents, brothers, children — but we can choose our own behavior in these relationships.
We cannot completely choose our own environment-poor, rich, friendly or broken-but we can choose our own response to this environment.
"I have no choice." This is a lie. In fact, we do have choices, and there are many choices. As Titi showed, he could also choose to be an active Smurf, even though he was not used to it at first.
At the end of the film, Sister Blue didn't stop at what she was created by Gege Witch. She chose to become the better version of herself: Sister Blue who knows how to love and sacrifice. How about you?
The secret recipe to change others: if you love him, respect him, the
black- hearted Aziz cat is really smarter than Gorge! In the beginning, Ge Gewu used a threatening method to ask Sister Blue to hand over the secret recipe. Sister Blue would naturally rather die than surrender! Later, at the command of Azcat, Gegewu changed to a gentle policy. Pretend to remember Sister Blue’s birthday and give her a magic wand and cake, making her look like she loves her. The Blue Sister, who had mistakenly thought that the Smurfs had forgotten her birthday and felt disappointed, happened to be stabbed in the underbelly. Believe the grid witch.
There are some people that we really love, and we want to communicate with them and hope they become better. But they put up a wall of heart against us, which is extremely uncomfortable! It seems that a hot face is put on a cold buttocks, just as if he was kindly treated as a donkey liver and lungs. I really want to smash it with a sledgehammer and pull the opponent out from behind the wall. At this time, we became that terrible grid witch.
You might as well think about why this wall was erected. The wall is always built because someone feels threatened. The greater the threat, the taller and thicker the wall will be built. Behind every wall, we will see a person who feels unsafe.
He is afraid to open his heart to us. Because I don’t know what we will say or do; I don’t know how we will use our knowledge of him.
The correct approach is to respect his wall of heart and let the other person know that you will not force him to open up to you unless he feels safe. What you have to do is to try to give that person every reason to feel safe, while still respecting that person's rights and responsibilities to take care of themselves.
You can even think about yourself as a guard standing guard and let that person know: I understand that because you feel insecure, this wall is built here. I want you to know that I will stand outside this wall and improve myself so that you can finally feel safe. I will try to shut my mouth and start trying to understand what I have done that makes you feel so insecure. I will not stop working hard until you finally feel relieved by my side, you can open the door of your heart and be yourself.
Gegewu tried to do this, and it was quite effective, but once Blue Sister still showed anxiety and hesitation, and refused to tell him the secret recipe, his clumsy performance went bankrupt. Those who want to control can only show love, not true love.
The true love is like the blue father, like the male lead's father. Understand the fear and anxiety of the other party, keep on guarding, and not easily get discouraged.
So, in the end they won the hearts of their loved ones. The blue sister and the male lead whom they loved have become more mature as a result. They really understand: where you come from is not the most important thing, what matters is what kind of person you choose to be.
This is a simple movie, but it is an extraordinary victory.
