Monsters Inc.: Happiness is the source of motivation

When night falls, the young body is lying on the bed alone, the lights are turned off, and when you can't sleep in the dark room, the wind outside the window will knock on the drifting objects and make the small things that can be shaken turbulent, just like the underworld. There is a mysterious power operating in it. If the sound or movement outside the window penetrates the darkness, and there is a response in your own small room, often this response will produce a huge shock in the weak mind. Thus, fear arises spontaneously. When you can’t help it, fear will arise spontaneously, and you can’t stop shouting. Children’s shrill voices are enough to produce huge decibels, which will make other rooms in front of and behind your room light up. . Don't you know that this scream of fear is officially what creatures in another world hope for. Through the collection, it can be converted into electricity and become real energy in the release again.

What you fear is what others hope for. Especially children, when they are young, they will have gloom phobia, resisting things in the dark, and fearing them. The monsters in the other world are just out at night, and when night comes, they come out to wander and do what they want to do. The monster's world also needs energy, so some monsters set up a monster power company to collect the scary screams of children in the real world.

The originality of "Monster Company" can be described as ingenious. A movie made for children actually makes a fuss about the fear of children. The theme revealed at the end is precisely to overturn the established impression. It shows that fear is not the source of motivation, on the contrary, joy is the real source of motivation. If you directly use "happiness is the source of ability" to make an article, I am afraid that it will be preaching, and there is not much to say. Instead, do the opposite, and then give this truth that everyone actually understands, not at all. Appears abrupt, but as smooth as possible. This is what makes "Monster Company" impressive. It has creation in the subversion and the real laughter in the prank. Although they are monsters, the fur monster Sullivan and the big-eyed Mike still leave a deep impression on people, and people can't help but love them. Together with the "Shrek" released in the same year, they have reshaped people's established impressions of monsters, making monsters no longer abominable, cute, they can no longer be enemies of humans, and they can become partners of humans. From this point, the animation film in 2001 created a new path for the setting of anime characters. The size was vast in vain, and there were more directions and options.

Because it leaves people with a lot of joy, so when "Monsters Company" will also have a sequel, it gives people great expectations, and I think I have to watch it anyway. However, when the first part has a huge impact due to creativity, the second part needs more new ideas if it wants to continue the brand’s penetrating power, but unfortunately, "Monsters University" did not give enough It just gives a reasonable explanation, gives a decent story, nothing more. But just like the first movie, everyone is not concerned about how the fur monsters and big-eyed boys are being tricked by human little girls, nor are they concerned about how Sullivan competes with rival Landau. The most What I care about is the warm feeling it gives, not how big the reversal of the plot is, but a different theme naturally, which makes people full of laughter in fear, and is gradually inspired by laughter. , You can feel it in the movie. However, "Monsters University" did not do this. It was just how the fur monster and the big-eyed boy got together and grew up together, as well as their various breaks. In fact, everyone really doesn't care about the details. I hope Pixar will continue to warm and enlighten people. It's not just preaching, it's not just good-looking.

If you watch "Monsters Company" and "Monster University" together, you will be more aware of the cuteness of the previous work, and I will become less satisfied with this new work. Although, purely from the setting of the story, "Monsters University" is not ugly, the twists and turns in it also grabbed the hearts of the audience fiercely, and laughed together with nervousness. But it's over with a smile, which is not a requirement for Pixar. Who made you Pixar? Just think that Apple has launched a new product. Although it is still a market leader, everyone will still criticize it because you are Apple and you are a masterpiece created by Jobs. And Pixar is precisely the product created by Jobs. "Monster Company" is also a product launched when he was in charge of Pixar. Now with the death of Jobs, I see Apple's daily decline, and Pixar continues to produce works below the standard. , It makes people worry, there are geniuses in this world, just like monsters. The rare sight of a monster is like a rare sight of a genius. When Jobs waved his hand, it was like the world never saw such an interesting monster again. . Sigh for one!
