If you don’t have time to read the long review, just look at the short review!
===================== The
video has no dialogue, but it seems to contain a thousand words.
The most peculiar thing is that the plot is actually full of countless possibilities, and the film just chooses one of them.
The soundtrack of the film is great!
The first half of the story gives full play to the screenwriting strategy of uncertain future, and the second half returns to genre movies, so the first half attracts me more.
The film contains French real shots and animated insects generated by CG, making these fictional characters and stories more realistic.
====================

This is a film without dialogue, or more accurately, without human dialogue; but it seems to contain a thousand words generally. Sometimes, what is not said is more profound than what is said directly.

"Insects" is a cartoon with a peculiar look that I have rarely seen before. The most peculiar thing is that the plot is actually full of countless possibilities, and the film just chooses one of them. Unlike some American blockbusters, you can guess the ending when you see the beginning; at least when you see 1/3 of this movie, you still don’t know what its ending will be and where its story will go. Development, what will be the fate of its protagonist. Some people say that the film was procrastinated at first because the story is not clear. I would say that this may be exactly a new screenwriting concept that we should learn. The uncertain plot may become popular in the future.

In fact, in the process of watching the movie, the uncertain direction of the film will make the audience feel a kind of confusion. This confusion comes from their previous experience of watching movies; but faintly, the audience is in a little excitement, and this excitement comes from watching this film and watching all the previous films. A different sense of mystery. This sense of mystery is consistent with the theme of the film, nature.

Nature is a combination of necessity and accident. It is inevitable for a bird to eat bugs, but which bug it eats is accidental. Fighting red ants and honest black ants will end in a battle, which is inevitable; but a meal of mankind triggered this war, and a ladybug born with deficiencies controlled the outcome of this war. These are again accidents. of. Rather than saying that the film is a sonata played by insects, it is better to say that the film is a symphony composed by nature's inevitable and accidental interweaving.

I personally prefer the first half of the film. The sugar cubes and the box are given full imagination. Ladybugs, black ants, and red ants staged a sentimental, righteous, courageous, wise, and dangerous stage for this. , Interesting drama. The uneven distribution of the black ants when moving the sugar cubes-the commander just said nothing, the last ant sadly wanted to move six dollars, the black ants' ultra-long-distance antenna communication, and the black ants' thoughts of destroying wealth and eliminating disasters all made me feel one Kind of knowing humor. As for the second half of the film, it is transformed into the old routine of the passerby and the ladybug turning into an ethnic hero, and the randomness and uncertainty of the film's direction are destroyed. In fact, when I realized that this film actually takes the war between black ants and red ants as the final direction, and that black ants are not just a passerby in the life of ladybugs, but they are developed around their relationship. The film is actually over.

The role of ladybug is very distressing, especially when it dreams of being with his family countless times, it is in sharp contrast with the solitary reality. As a discarded "orphan" with incomplete wings, and experiencing the humiliation of flies and the kind of loneliness in the cold rain, it is difficult for us to understand why it can maintain a simple and kind heart. But this is precisely the greatness of this little ladybug.
