Pixar's classic animated short film "Kidnapping Lesson" _Tencent Video v.qq.com

This film is Pixar's 13th animation work, and it is nominated for an Oscar again!

Man: Yes, Pixar really focuses on quality and not weight, or if you don’t make a move, you must have it!

Let’s take a look at the original title of the film "lifted"

Male: I checked the word, (was) lifted, lifted, raised , hoisted; removed; moved; airlifted

The past participle and past tense of lift

Yes! There is no problem in translating it into "Kidnapping Lesson". Taking class is a process of learning and improving yourself.

Pay particular attention to two concepts: who to learn from, what to learn...?

Let's wonder, this alien is going to kidnap the earthlings, what is it going to study?

Who knows! But this little story is really interesting! This is simply a driver's license test for the people of the earth, there is no difference! I was angry when I saw the "second cargo" driver, I really wanted to slap him twice!

Male: There are also road test examiners, who always look serious, unsmiling, and take a small book for recording... Haha

As you said, these two aliens are very similar to earthlings, right? So what do you think this alien can study for us humans?

Man: Yes, the spaceship flew away in the end! Not to mention the examiner, even I think the second person is angry, and the aliens are all like this person, really no different from the earth!

You pay attention to these pictures, there are subtexts: In fact, there is only a tree between the alien planet and the earth.

The tree represents the green barrier. The difference between the earth and the alien planet lies in this green barrier, the ocean...atmosphere and biosphere

Man: Oh, that's what I meant! I think that machinery is indeed complex enough, densely packed with buttons...

Then let's call this second item a "trader"!

We found that this guy dropped the chain at a critical time, to no avail, no rules, and very awkward , very annoying! Putting us people on earth as pawns and playing around...

Pay attention to this picture, when the earthlings are finally sucked in...

The trader turned his head, raised his finger, and suddenly he fell again...

These details, including every picture, must be carefully considered, otherwise it is not clear what the director wants to express...

I just said that kidnapping class is a class and a study.

When human beings are with two aliens, one of them is still a duo...

At this moment, the human being is asleep, and another alien turned his head...what else can I learn from this state?

Male: Your analysis like this reminds me of the short film "Snipe". The theme is also a process of "learning".

right! It's actually a similar theme to this film.

Male: So who is the teacher in this film ?

That's the examiner! Have you noticed any advantages of the examiner?

Man: Hmm... he is very calm! Unflappable. I found that Erhuo asked for his expression many times in the hope of getting some enlightenment, but the examiner never hinted at him, but silently and carefully observed every move of the trader in front of him , and made notes . It should have been written down. All the advantages and disadvantages...

very good! And these plots are more critical

When Erhuo's trader caused trouble, the examiner remained silent. In fact, it was to see how he handled it in times of crisis , and found that Erhuo did not respond at all. The examiner was finally anxious, os: Get out of here, you...

See how the examiner does...? He returned all the furnishings, vases, drawers in the house to their original positions. Then he gently placed the person on the bed and turned off the light ...At this time, I heard the sound of human sleep...

Male: Only then did I realize that so many buttons have their own meanings!

Each button represents the details, and the aliens’ handling and control of the details is what we should learn!

So, why should aliens pay special attention to these details...? When we compare two aliens, we can see that they are not the same kind of people at all!

The biggest difference between the two lies in the "sense of responsibility", and the sense of responsibility comes from love!

Man: It really is! The examiner is very loving and responsible . I think that in the last second driver, he must have been stabbing Louzi again and suddenly overwhelming the house and the tree.

And we can also imagine: It must be at the most crisis time, it was the examiner who took the action again, and saved the bed and the lives of human beings without disturbing his dreams...

These are what we should learn!

That kind of meticulousness, that kind of consideration for others, all stem from love!

Let’s watch this plot. After the second guy was trained, he was extremely frustrated . The examiner couldn’t bear to watch him like this, so he gave him the opportunity to pilot the spaceship again...

Erhuo began to hesitate again, and pushed the examiner away ...so there was a thrilling scene behind...

Man: This kind of second product is really unusable, it's not worrying...

What I want to say is:

To observe and be sympathetic to the emotions of others with kindness and meticulousness is what we should learn most!

Humans have always been eager to communicate with aliens, communicate, and learn

This film uses such a spoofed humorous short film to reveal all the abuses and problems of mankind, thinking about how mankind should improve themselves and learn what is truly valuable!

Man: What do you mean by the title?

Note that the swing and weathercock move slightly, the aliens are driving very much!

The director is reminding the audience that the film must be carefully observed to realize the thoughts contained in the story in the details !

Man: Oh, I see! And here, the butt is in the window, what do you mean?

We found that many close-up shots are related to human postures...

Since the theme of this film is how to learn, then the channel that connects humans and aliens is the channel of learning!

The most critical part of learning is directionality !

Erhuo has been looking for directions, to no avail!

Because the trader does not know how to observe, does not know how to be compassionate and caring for others, has no sense of responsibility, and has no reverence for life... Just ask, what can such a person learn?

Man: Oh, I finally understand. It turns out that this film is about studying. Don't know how to learn how to improve yourself ? The bright moonlight in the title, and the subtitle "Ascend" immediately after the title, also have this idea!

And I found that at the end of the film, there seems to be water flowing under the cylinder ...?

Well, so every time I remind you to pay attention to the beginning and the end of the movie, this is what I mean. The director will give some hints for fear that you will not understand it!

Man: But I still don't understand!

In fact, let's be honest: it doesn't matter if you don't understand, just because the judges don't understand !

Man: Ha, it hurts enough! The director knew that we couldn’t understand it anyway...

No way, art is like this!

At the Oscar Cannes level, the diamond at the top of the pyramid allows you to understand and see through at a glance. Is it still art? It's vulgar!

If you really want to learn Kungfu, you have to systematically study my four-dimensional theory ... When the research is completed, you will not be far from Oscars and international masters!

To be honest, for so long, how many people do you think take my four-dimensional one theory seriously?

Male: Okay, just say it directly, they are all second-hands!

Haha, this is what you said!

Male: Well! The good things turned a blind eye and turned their heads over... I see these people are no different from the trader who thinks he is poor all day long...

Ha, it's pretty vivid!

Man: Then you should tell me now, why the cylinder is flowing with water, and the spacecraft takes away all the soil...?

Water, trees, soil... These all represent resources!

The most valuable thing on earth is resources. As for the people on earth, the so-called human beings and human nature...you can see the second person!

Male: Ha, the forest is big and there are all kinds of birds, and the aliens don’t lack this stuff!

Haha, what kind of humans are you still studying? If you do a good job of studying this second person around you, you will understand...

So in this kidnapping class, what should we learn, who should we learn from, what is the real resource, the real value...understand?

Man: Oh, I understand it all!

...Well, get out of class is over!
