It's been a year since I watched the movie, and I finally made up my mind to write this review (I think my procrastination really needs to be cured = =). It happened to be Children's Day on June 1st, so writing a review of an animated film was just in time for the occasion. I wish all the pot friends can maintain a childlike heart. Tinker Bell's story just keeps getting better. From the first "Wonderful Fairy" in 2008, at the speed of one high-quality film in one to two years, this little fairy with yellow hair and blue eyes, wearing a green leaf dress and two velvet flowers on her shoes, has amazed the world. .
Let’s talk about the entire Tinker Bell series first. The characters in the animation are super good. Tinker Bell is kind, naughty, cute but also a little rough. The other fairies also have their own characteristics and temperaments: Fairy Wind is cold and sharp, Fairy Light is honest and honest, Fairy Hua is beautiful and beautiful Vanity, water fairy gentle and a little silly, animal fairy careless and heartless. The various details in the movie are also refreshing. Tinker's little friend uses two water droplets to make spectacle lenses, uses little mice and snails to carry things, and animal fairies will color beetles and bees, and teach birds to fly. In fact, the most gratifying thing is that the entire animation series is not like traditional animations such as Snow White or Cinderella. There are no villains such as evil forces, witches or devils in the Elf Valley. It is not a simple description of the battle between good and evil. , and more promotion of mutual love and help, as well as introspection, self-knowledge, learning and growth.
Not to mention the legend of the never-ending beast. In my opinion, this anime is arguably the best in the entire series. It's been clear from the beginning of the film, But be careful, for appearances lie. But be careful, just looking at appearances is not enough. As the story unfolds gradually, a comet awakens an ancient giant beast that has been sleeping underground for a long time, an animal that no elves have ever seen. The animal fairy, Fawn, happened to meet it and began to understand it gradually, helping it to build a stone tower for which it was unknown, and developed a strong friendship. Nyx, the guard captain of the Elf Valley, was worried because of the size of the giant beast, and happened to encounter the giant beast destroying the sunflower field and almost crushing several elves, thinking that the giant beast was very dangerous. By examining ancient books, a giant beast appeared once a thousand years ago, and that time it grew big horns and bat wings, and brought an unprecedented thunderstorm, and the entire Elf Valley was almost destroyed. Both elves are doing what they think is better for the Elf Valley, one is keeping the elves safe and the other the innocent animals. Although the animal fairy Fawn believes that it has absolutely no malicious intentions in getting along with the giant beast, it is still unable to confirm his point of view because of insufficient evidence. Meanwhile, the behemoth wounded Tinker Bell and knocked him unconscious. Fawn had no choice but to make concessions and lead the guard captain Nyx to capture and anesthetize the behemoth. The big thunderstorm really came, but controlling the beast did not stop the thunderstorm as Nyx expected. At this time, Tinker woke up, but said that the giant beast shot her out so that she would not be crushed by the falling tree. The plot took a big turn. The giant beast did not cause a thunderstorm to destroy the Elf Valley, but It is to protect the valley from thunderstorms.
So, if you were the Queen of the Elf Valley, how would you decide? Who would you trust? On one side is Fawn, who often protects dangerous animals. Not long ago, he brought a little eagle that ate elf back to recover and caused a storm. He protected a huge beast with a history of harming elf; on the other side, he was loyal and stubborn. Nyx, with a history of giant beasts causing thunderstorms. Days of observation, trust, and friendship on one side, and a well-documented history on the other. If you were really given a choice, what would you do with this beast? Laissez-faire or control? Of course, the screenwriter won't let the elegant queen face such a dilemma in the play. The queen just said to the two of them, do the right thing. But I think, if it were me, I might also order to control this beast, because history has always had experience and lessons, and it is a lesson for us to learn and improve, and not everyone can have such a talent for animals as Fawn. , can see things that ordinary people can't see. This is the best decision I can make.
So, like Nyx in the show, I made the wrong decision. However, history may be wrong, and the logic may be completely wrong. Two things happen at the same time: the appearance of a giant beast + the occurrence of thunderstorms, which comes first and which comes later, which is the cause and which is the effect? Both logics can be self-consistent: the appearance of a comet awakens the giant beast, and the giant beast builds a stone tower to summon a thunderstorm and cause disaster; the appearance of a comet heralds a thunderstorm, and the giant beast wakes up and builds a stone tower to collect lightning to protect the village. This little animated film turns the very foundations on which we make our decisions upside down. What if Tinker Bell doesn't wake up in time after being knocked down? The injustice of the giant beast does not know when the snow will be washed away.
If we go a little further, the film also implies that we cannot be bound by stereotypes. Fawn always let the heart tell her what to do, rather than mind. She brought mice, snakes, vampire bats and falcons into the Elven Valley, causing many dangers and disturbances, but this time she was completely That's right; the beast is huge, ferocious, blue-eyed and fangs, yet kind-hearted, down-to-earth and lovable. We can't always let the past dominate our minds, and just because someone "looks" vicious doesn't mean he's going to do bad things. It's hard, it's hard, but we still have to work hard.
Sometimes all we see is the appearance. Be careful, for appearances lie. I forgot where I first heard the sentence "It's OK to tell her. She won't judge.", but it made me think about it for a long time. There are too few descriptions of this aspect in Chinese culture. We always think of seeing the big from the small and seeing the leopard in the tube. Taking one corner instead of three is not the case. We can see a person's character through a small thing, but we forget us It is really difficult to understand the situation at that time without knowing the truth and experiencing it personally. In "Downton Abbey", the cook's nephew was shot for escaping, and the jazz just said, we don't know the truth, so we can't judge. It's really commendable. I confessed my theft, probably not about stealing, but taking responsibility for my wife's behavior; I didn't have a carriage to go to dinner, maybe it wasn't because I didn't understand the politeness of high society, but I borrowed the carriage To the neighbor's poor aunt and her young lady. Appearances can deceive us, so be careful when judging what is true and what is false. May we all be Fawn, a person who sees through appearances, a person who does not judge others easily.
Finally, I have to point out that the promotion of feminism in the Tinker Bell series really makes me so happy. All the protagonists are girls (except, of course, Tinker's ambiguous object, Terence. But is he also a supporting role?), and even the elf escort team is composed of five sturdy female elves. Girls are no longer characters waiting to be rescued by the prince. We can achieve as much as boys do, and more.
