On Friday night, the traffic on the East Third Ring Road was like glue solidified. I simply walked into the theater to watch the movie. Boss Qian dubbed it and produced it by Warner. It was you. The animated musical "Snow Monster Adventure".
Lies have existed since you were born
Above the vast sea of clouds, there is a big mountain with a group of snow monsters living on the mountain. The snow monsters have terrifying names but all are silly and cute. The snow monsters were taught by the elder snow monsters that "the snow monster village is a floating island" and "floating island". There is nothingness underneath. Don’t try to detect it.” “The sun snails in Snow Monster Village need to be awakened by a bell ringing every morning, otherwise there will be no daylight”, “Don’t be curious when you encounter problems, take a deep breath and forget it. ", "Little Foot Monster (human) is a terrible creature."
One day in a person’s life, some people will discover the truth of this world
But by mistake, the snow monster protagonist encountered a little foot monster (travel show host), and then he discovered, "It turns out that the floating island is not nothingness, it is a solid earth on the earth", "It turns out that you don't need to use your head every day. When you hit the clock, the sun can rise.
After discovering the truth, people will never be able to believe a lie again
The protagonist and his friends who discovered the truth are like a sharp knife in this village, firmly inserted into the brain of every villager. The snow monster villagers who love to breathe and forget things can no longer trust the elders.
But sometimes, there is more truth behind the truth
Of course, the elder stepped up in time and convinced the protagonist. He told the protagonist the most true truth, "Snow Monster Village is indeed not on a floating island", "The sea of clouds under the floating island is full of water vapor, and all the water vapor is. Created by the daily activities of the villagers", "The snow monster used to live under the mountain and coexist with humans", "As a result, the snow monster intended to befriend humans, but was slaughtered by humans."
If you can’t believe the lie again, then lie too
The protagonist who discovered the truth of the world again discovered the truth of the village. Facing the safety of his family, he had to consider these, so he chose to refer to the deer as the horse, and said that the human beings who brought the village from the foot of the mountain to the village were yaks, accustomed to the prestige of the elders. The villagers naturally believed what the yak said.
Day after day, people keep discovering the truth
However, the protagonist’s partners are unwilling to bear the lies and choose to go to the human world, but never expected that humans are really unfriendly. Facing the snow monsters, humans can only panic and round up, but fortunately, they were brought into the snow monsters before. The host of the village took action in time to help the snow monsters escape the pursuit of human beings.
So what is the endgame
Movies give us the best answer: let more people know the facts, and then communicate. There is no concealment, and they treat each other with sincerity. In the end, through the efforts of the protagonist and their partners, the snow monster villagers know their own history and past. At the end of the film, they choose to communicate with humans, let each other understand, and live together under a sky.
This ending is really the most relaxing and beautiful part of this fairy tale.
It’s hard to imagine that a cartoon actually aligns the story with the adult core of "lie and truth" and "oppression and resistance". I have to admire Warner’s strange angle of animation, and I have become accustomed to Disney’s "the world is so beautiful." ""-Style animation, suddenly watching such an animated film greatly exceeded expectations. From the bottom of my heart, I hope that this film will be shortlisted for the best animated feature film Oscar.
The adult ideological core of the film is also reminiscent of "Canis Island", but "Canis Island" has established an adult's position from the very beginning and abandoned children. "Snow Monster Adventure" is aimed at children in terms of character modeling, narrative logic, addition of jokes, and choice of dubbing casts. If children can really understand this film, they will definitely be a childhood nightmare in the future, kidding.
I believe that when viewing this film from the perspective of children, they can see the more innocent things such as "telling the facts" and "not lying", which is very good.
Of course, what the movie exceeds expectations is not only the main storyline of the snow monster, but also the branch line from the perspective of the host. The male host made a travel show because of his love for animals, but with the decline in ratings and click-through rates, The host gradually lost his original intention. He no longer made the program for the purpose of disseminating scientific knowledge of animals. Instead, he always thought about how to attract clicks by hunting strangely, and even used the puppet snow monster to deceive his audience at all times.
Fortunately, the film did not abandon him and gave him a chance to reform and renew, and he finally understood that a kind heart is much more important than click-through rate.
I like the role of the host very much. He makes me feel that I am just being confused, so when he sang "Percy's Pressure" to his girlfriend on stage and yelled "Brenda", I understood him deeply.
In addition to this song, there is another song that impressed me. When the elder told the protagonist about the ancient past of the village, the rapper’s "Let it Lie" has never seen rap in a song and dance film. This rapper came slowly, shaking people's hearts.
After talking with the elders, the protagonist fell into a kind of confusion. He reluctantly sighed, "It's better when I was ignorant before, and I am at ease without knowing anything." I think that after the elder’s heart-wrenching rap, the children in the theater were all shocked. It’s strange that the protagonist is not depressed, laugh.
From the perspective of music, the film is successful as a song and dance film; and from the perspective of animation, the film is also ok. The snowy night motorboat chases the scene, and the effect of the snowflakes illuminated by the motorboat lights on the screen cannot be said to be true. It's realistic, it's a real shot, but it's a pity that there are too few such scenes to watch.
Finally, let’s end with a line that I particularly like, which is what the protagonist’s father said to the protagonist:
You have awakened everyone, don't let them fall asleep again.
