Have you ever raised a pet? Are you keeping a pet now? It’s not halfway through the movie, but I’ve been thinking about a dog I kept at home when I was a kid in the movie theater. At the end, I couldn’t help holding the tears of the crocodile in the dark, turning my head to look at the audience around me, just like me. Many people are here.
I was surprised that I would remember the dog in my childhood. It was brought home from my relatives in the second grade of elementary school. It was covered in white hair with a few black spots in the middle. It was not weaned until it died later. My second year in the middle of the year. Until now, whenever a dog in black and white, I would feel familiar. Later, I raised a small Beijing bus when I was in college. After I graduated from college, I gave it to the landlord. It didn’t take long to hear that the dog caught a cold and died after taking a bath. I regretted it for a while, and then I decided not to do it again. Have a pet!
I remember that I was in high school when I first watched the first two of [Toy Story]. At that time, VCD was still popular. There was a thick VCD player at home. Every weekend, my brother would rent some fashionable American movies. What [Terminator] 】, Stallone and Schwarzenegger, muscle men were popular back then, or Hong Kong martial arts movies. Although the picture quality is indescribable now, it is quite happy for the children at that time, at least better than the mixed video studio.
I believe that for many friends in their 30s, especially those who grew up in some small towns, the video room is definitely not a strange word. In the years before China joined the WTO, the video studio was a smash hit, just like what Jia Zhangke played in the movie. But for my brother and the very young me, the video room next door to my house is more like a nostalgic complex. I get into the dark room. There is smelly feet and smoke everywhere, and it is often performed in front of some Hong Kong stars. action movie. It was the first time I watched [Evil and West Poison] at that time. There were a lot of big stars. I still remember that before half of watching it, older children coaxed the boss to change the "channel". VCD discs are divided into left channel, right channel and Everyone knows the stereo sound, but some people deliberately yelled "Left Sound Dao" and "Right Sound Dao", followed by a burst of malicious laughter. Later, everyone couldn't watch it anymore. It was late at night, and the boss came over and replaced it with [pornographic men and women]. That was the first time I watched a so-called tertiary film. Thinking about it now, it can be regarded as a pre-school sex education for me as a kid, no wonder I will become a precocious freak now.
11 years have passed, so many things have been diluted by the years. I am always busy with my current work, career, love and life. I suddenly found that I don't understand nostalgia anymore, just like watching a movie. I am always at a loss for the new and blockbuster movies that have been released recently. I rarely watch the old ones. Whenever I see the old Hong Kong movies of the 90s on the Phoenix TV movie channel, I always have a feeling of rejuvenation. After all, everything is still successful. After seeing the smoke, and then saying "I saw it when I was a child, it's boring" and immediately changed the channel.
When watching movies in childhood, everyone did not have the so-called concept of good movies or bad movies. As long as they had familiar faces, celebrities, played more intensely, or touched American muscle men, everyone would watch them very happily, even When I watched it and watched it again, I thought it was a great honor to predict the next line and spoiler. The children at that time were so happy! Now that you watch movies, you may have more choices. Everyone has a lot of knowledge. Watching movies has become a habit in life. People who have seen everything start to scold movies. Almost most movies are bad movies. , I turned out to be one of them. Suddenly I want to despise myself. In fact, every movie is the culmination of the labor of every crew member. No matter how bad the movie is, there is something about it. No matter how experienced the director is, he will accidentally guide an actor once, and an actor who no longer knows how to act will accidentally find the feeling of every paragraph, that is the shining point, but no one wants to notice it. Now that I have started to mix in the crew, I know the hardships of filming. Every time I shoot in the studio for a whole day, there is smoke and dust in my nostrils when I return to the hotel at night, which is enough for you to wake up for a long time.
[Toy Story 3] It’s amazing. It once again evokes a certain nostalgic complex in our childhood. Even if you have never had a toy complex, there will be other childhood complexes that will be awakened by the movie. As for the current Pixar technology, as early as [Earth Waste Packer], the problem of sense of space has been broken, so we will never see the crudeness in [Play 2] again. Looking at the scene of a group of toys gathered together in the kindergarten, even the light and shadow in the depth of field are meticulous, the texture of the dinosaur skin, the hair of the hug bear, even the reflection on one leg of the toy are so delicate, and finally understand why it looks like [play] 3] Such movies will use IMAX-3D, and Pixar is showing off its technological achievements!
Compared with DreamWorks [How to Train Your Dragon] and subverting traditional cartoons, I still like [Play 3] movies that celebrate friendship and call for nostalgia. It is far more emotional to resonate with the audience than to make you laugh. It's much harder. [WALL-E] Back then, I wanted Korean drama amnesia gimmicks to make movie fans wiping tears silently. [UP]'s "Great Four Minutes" once again caused the tear ducts to collapse, so that now my nose becomes sore when I hear that melody. This year’s [Play 3] 】At the end again, my childhood memories were awakened. Finally, the toys watched Andy's car go away. The cowboy Hudy's "Farewell, Buddy" could not help but make me cry. Don't blame the movie, just blame my tears for being too low.
Looking at this [Play 3] from a perceptual point of view, it is too perfect, but from a rational point of view, it is normal for such powerful film critics and media as Roger Ebert not to buy it. Imagine, it’s very simple. Why does Pixar kill movies like [WALL-E] and [UP] and don’t plan to go to the sequel, while the [Play] series has reached the third part? Because the [Play] series itself is a family popcorn movie, Pixar has given it enough connotations. What? Do you think [Play 3] is not necessary to be made into 3D to follow the trend? How can Pixar show off its technological achievements if it is not made into 3D! Stop thinking about the IMBD or Rotten Tomatoes rating numbers. It's just a cold number, and everyone’s childhood is in the movie, but we also have to say "Farewell, Childhood!"
PS: I Can't help but ran to watch it again, and look forward to [Racing Story 2] from now on!
