The super-powered protagonist setting has long been a character background that has been used badly in movies and animations, which inevitably makes people a little bit aesthetically tired. The highlight of this film is that it uses a way that we have never seen before to humanize the role of superhero, and creates a new and very affinity way of super character creation in a different way.
As an animated film, the film is straight to the subject right from the beginning. This is what audiences of this type of film would like to see when they spend money in the theater. Unsurprisingly, the film opened in just a few minutes. The clips are used to render the protagonist’s superpowers, and then a very American legal assumption is used to elicit the background of the story. Those who know a little about the principles of the U.S. Constitution know that the judicial cases in the film are entirely possible in this country with a high degree of rule of law, and because of the case law system, they may become national judicial norms. In this way, the superheroes represented by the protagonist Bob were forcibly deprived of the right to use superpowers by the government and lived in society in the way of ordinary people. This is quite similar to the book "Why the World Doesn’t Need Superman" published by Clark Kent’s girlfriend in "Superman" years after Superman left the earth. Regarding this point, the second film made it through the villain’s mouth. More in-depth explanation. Of course, thinking about this issue is the business of a group of modern business philosophers.
The heroes deprived of their superpowers are like eagles with their wings tied by chains. They used to face the super people who burned, killed and looted criminals and enjoyed themselves, but now they can only face the frustration of the workplace and the trivialities of life. , Midlife crisis, and unhelpful crimes. Bob, who is crowded in that small middle-class blue broken car on the congested road after get off work every day, is the most true manifestation of all this helplessness. Seeing this, the image of a superhero has long since disappeared in the hearts of the audience, but this is precisely a very individual plot arrangement of the film, and it is also the cause of the next story.
The film uses this setting to make itself jump out of the cookie-cutter Superman theme, and has a cynical style similar to "Superman Hancock for All", which makes people shine. As for the subsequent plots, they are basically quite satisfactory. Some of the vignettes are quite innovative, but in general, this film is still a non-adult animated film.
In 2018, 14 years after the first film was released, Disney Pictures once again jointly launched a sequel to this film with Pixar. The first impression it gives is that the second part has a very obvious leap in terms of sound and light performance and image rendering compared to the first part. It has more gorgeous image colors, more detailed character animations, and With richer screen details, Pixar's progress in animation production technology in the past 14 years is unobstructed. As for the plot, the foreshadowing at the end of the second film immediately following the previous film is also straightforward. In this work, the male protagonist Bob faces exactly the same problems as in the previous work. It is also an endless trivial life. Regarding the superhero’s superpower limitations, poor Bob will always suffer the most. But for a long time After his suffocation, the unsurprising release will inevitably be ushered in. If the theme of the first book is to use the law to limit the superhero's superpowers, then the sequel is aimed at overturning the wrong judgment. This not only makes the people in the play clap their hands and applaud, but also makes the movie audiences enjoy themselves 14 years later.
The gap caused by this almost face-smashing plot reversal is also a joy for the audience. After all, watching the excitement is not too big, and the film also deliberately dealt with the legal issues in the previous game in the plot. Discussion, although this is just an understatement for the whole movie, the meaning contained in it is still worthy of our reflection.
Finally, a digression, 14 years is only a few seconds between the two movies, and in the real world, the lives of countless people have undergone earth-shaking changes during this period. sigh. I think back when I watched the first part, I was still in elementary school, but now I have been working for many years. How many people I met in 14 years, how many things I have experienced, how many people I missed, and how many things I have forgotten, but in the film, it is only the time for the protagonists to spend two sentences before and after the same street, which is really amazing. . The span of the two works carries too much memory for us, so I always cherish the actual experience of every movie watching and try to write them down. Maybe a sequel to one of the movies will be re-read after many years. Thousands of thoughts will come to my heart about the experience of watching the previous film.
