"Toy Story 3": 15 years, a perfect curtain call

Emory 2022-03-16 09:01:01

"Toy Story" trilogy spans 15 years. Its first film was released in 1995. As the first feature-length CG film, it was a great success. The second film was almost exclusively for the TV market, but finally moved to the big screen under Pixar's insistence, and became one of the few sequels that received more praise than the first film. In the following 11 years, Pixar continued to grow during the break-up and re-combination of Disney, and several CG movies released successively received very good reviews. Today, they finally put a perfect end to this long story. "Toy Story 3" is a masterpiece, and Pixar really did it.

While continuing the style of the previous two works, this work adds more new characters (mostly villains, because the previous villains were all corrected by the orator Woody), with larger scenes and more funny sections. , A more shocking plot. Among the many memorable movie trilogy, apart from the "Lord of the Rings" series, the most successful is probably "Toy Story". And this time, mainland China enjoys additional "benefits" (not the one on ACFun). The film's release time in China is the earliest, 2 days earlier than North America.

================================================== = It’s

definitely not a pastime like children’s movies.

Most people in China have such an idea that the so-called cartoons are for children, and Pixar’s lingering "general mobilization" "younger" hat actually hinders the broader The audience's understanding of their works. Pixar has always believed that cartoons are not just for children, people of different ages will see different feelings in movies. Perhaps in their early works, the so-called naive elements are mostly, but since the beginning of "Finding Nemo", the situation has changed drastically, and in recent years, "Wall·E" and "Flying House Tour" have even more animated The tolerance of the film has risen to a new level.


And this time "Toy Story 3", children can naturally find joy in the film, but also can feel excited for the last toy's nine deaths. For those who grew up with Andy from 1995 to 2010, it is probably more of the childhood in the memory, the toys that once belonged to them in the depth of the memory, and the various magical stories fabricated by the toys at that time. Perhaps you can see the fearless unity of the weak toys in the face of unpredictable destiny; perhaps you can see the psychological shock a kind person needs to suffer to become an evil person; perhaps you can still From this we can see how the terrible dictatorship collapsed from within the ruling group...In short, "Toy Story 3" is a rich movie, and we should not arbitrarily speculate the audience of the content based on its form of expression.

================================================== ===The

magical pen (there are key spoilers in this chapter)

The last 20 minutes of the film is really a magical pen, sublimating the entire movie to a height that is unattainable by the first two. After the toys finally returned to Andy's home after nine-nine-nine and eighty-one hardships, Woody would have followed Andy to go to college, and other toys would be put in the attic, and it would be covered in dust. The film ends here, and it is considered complete. Perhaps the director can add a clichéd black screen with the subtitles "Ten years from now...", and then the scene will switch to Andy's children playing with his toys...

But how come it is so magical? ? So Woody left a note for Andy to guide him to give these toys to Bonnie, a child in Sunshine Kindergarten. Before Woody stayed at her house for one night, she knew that she was also a child who loved toys and would treat toys well. And Woody secretly ran out of college luggage with other toys, and finally Andy decided to give Woody to Bonnie. So what we saw was that Andy introduced these toys to Bonnie one by one, as if he had returned to his childhood. He put the cowboy Woody around his neck and ran, he let Buzz Lightyear soar in the air, he put the Potato Head couple together warmly, and he lined up the three Aliens...

Some people say that the last 20 minutes alone are enough to make this film immortal. Perhaps this is not so exaggerated, but such a perfect ending left many viewers with moving tears. Pixar is like that, making you laugh in the first minute and cry in the second minute.

Highlights

in particular remember the "toy Story 2", and the great Satan Zurg Buzz spoof "Star Wars" dialogue on the elevator, this production is still a lot of humor, let's take a little number two.

Spanish dancer
operation method: Open the back cover of Buzz Lightyear, press and hold the Reset button with a sharp object for at least 5 seconds, and you will get a Buzz Lightyear who speaks Spanish and has extraordinary dancing ability.


Variety Potato Head
is the best supporting actor in this work. Mr. Potato Head (who looks like Mr. Potato in Chinese) disassembled and assembled parts in the movie countless times, and adjusted the content three times at the same time.
You would not believe what I've been through tonight! The

mantra
that appears the most in the three works is "To Infinity and Beyond!" However, there is another sentence added to this work (in fact, this sentence has already appeared in the previous work): "You have saved our lives. We are eternally grateful!", from three alien little dolls and Potato Head couple.

Soy sauce Totoro
Bonnie family has a lot of new toys, one of which is ...... ah? My Neighbor Totoro? Hayao Miyazaki is full of cows...


eBay = Taobao?
At the beginning of the film, Andy's mother asked him what to do with these toys. There was a line (I can't remember the original text) saying, put them on eBay to see how much they can sell. As a result, the official version of the Chinese subtitles actually translated eBay into "Taobao"...Catch the wall (this is too unprofessional, or Taobao gave the money)...
