Growth that can never be bypassed

It’s so funny, even the small yellow capsules that almost jump into the audience when the ending subtitles are released will not make you bear the heart to leave, so what are you waiting for? Applaud! It is rare to see Americans applauding after a movie is over, but [Despicable Me] at least did it in the theater where I was. Although it is still inferior to [How to Train Your Dragon] and [Toy Story 3] in terms of humanity, it is definitely not inferior to the former two in terms of entertainment. The theme of the film is still the topic of growth that can never be bypassed. The reason why Lu became the world's No. 1 villain is also because his mother ignored his various inventions and creations in childhood. So the unpleasant childhood directly led to everything that Gelug had to do at the moment. The most obvious things in this Freud-like psychoanalytic theory are used in this movie again.

Let's start with Gelu's unrecognized childhood. Every time Gelu, a genius child who likes to invent and create, has a new invention and creation, his mother always snorted perfunctory. This greatly smashed the kind nature of Gelu children. Gelu became more and more rebellious in order to attract the attention of parents, so it became Gelu's goal to become the world's first villain. Growing up, Gru is actually a tough guy who looks very evil in appearance and likes to take advantage of all kinds of weird little bargains, but he will be scared when he is doing a roller coaster with three children in an amusement park. Will Gru be afraid of roller coasters? ! In fact, this is a loving guy. He couldn't get the love of his mother in his childhood, so he sealed himself up strictly. He didn't express his love, so he refused to read bedtime stories for the three little girls at first. , Refuse to kiss the girls goodbye before goodnight. The first time I couldn't be stunned by the girl's acting like a baby, Ge Lu began to read the bedtime story of "Three Cats". The story is really silly and naive, but the most important point is that the story is very loving. This is also the thing that Glu has been missing the most since he was a child. He also finally gave three girls this kind of paternal love, so as to reveal his happiness and grow up. In addition to being evil, he can also be very loving.

In the film, Gru's most evil plan to apologize is to steal the moon. The reason why he chose the moon to start is also from the shadow of childhood. His beautiful ambitions about the moon in his childhood were scorned by his mother, so conquering the moon became the biggest ambition of Gru as an adult. Recently, a smart device that can make things smaller has been invented in the world, which happens to be the most important condition of the Glu Moon Project. Gru was going to steal this smart weapon that could make things smaller, but was snatched halfway by Victor, who emerged recently, so he stole the smart equipment from Victor’s high-tech, airtight home. It is the top priority. The only people who can enter Victor are the three little girls, so for an evil plan, Gru went to the girls' house to adopt these three children. Ask the three children to deliver cookies, enter Victor's house, and eventually steal the smart weapon. Gru finally got the moon in his hand, and on his way back to the earth, he fought Victor again. Because of the gravity problem of the earth, the moon began to grow larger and eventually returned to the place where the moon should be. The spacecraft rescued three adopted daughters, and finally opened up completely and became a very loving dad.

The straight line of the story is the various evil deeds of Gelu. The double line is the influence of the three girls on Gelu. This double line of the girls is too loving, and it is the double line story that completely pulls back the despicableness of the main story. On track. An evil and despicable guy who finally became a super loving dad? This is very family friendly, and it is very Hollywood. The laughing point is definitely enough, but today's animation colleagues provide more than just a very entertaining story, and animation definitely no longer means superficial and naive. Because other newly released cartoons first gave a high standard, [Despicable Me] no matter how humorous it is, obviously it won't make it much better. Its cheap comedy style is very funny. The voice actors of the Apato family are also full of joy, but the film lacks a mature theme. Hollywood is now close to the technology family, and the hardware is familiar to others, and the sense of humor can even surpass others. Only the depth of the theme is far behind by others, and the release time is also behind others. We can only blame Universal. The company's marketing department made a mistake again.

[Despicable Me] It is definitely the first shot of Universal Animation, and it has given Universal a face that has been in trouble for the past two years. But for the 3D problem of the film, it looks like a gimmick. If it can live without blindly following the 3D wind, it will be fine. Such an animation makes 3D seem inexplicable. The only thing that can appear in 3D in the film is the scene in the amusement park and the little robots that jump when the film ends with the subtitles. But who wants to watch 3D is to watch the casino go around and something pounces on you? How is this different from throwing a knife at you in a horror movie? If 3D can only provide such a little gimmick for watching movies, I would rather watch 2D, I have seen [Avatar], and who else would care about these boring tricks!
