Seeing a friend said: The idea of anthropomorphizing different emotions and letting them fight in the brain is not new at all. I agree with this view. Although most of the fun of animation will be achieved by giving animals and non-living bodies the character of human beings, it is different from the animation of "Monster Electric Company" which creates a new fantasy world view, which is usually in the three-dimensional world view of reality. Anthropomorphic animated characters are always inevitable from the impression of immature and young teeth.
However, I have to admire the perfect structure that Pixar has made on the core stage of the story of the little girl Riley’s brain. This admiration also contains the audience’s curiosity about the structure of the self’s brain. It turns out that the human brain is a complex and sophisticated factory. In addition to the five emotions of joy, sorrow, disgust, fear, and anger, there are also gleaming core memories, an island of character like DISNEY LAND, prize town in imagination space, cloud town, plush toy carnival, you can Mass-produced fantasy boyfriends, dream crews, memory incinerators, subconscious prisons, oblivion abyss, thinking railways, and fantasy friends popsicles that combine elephants, cats, and dolphins. Of course, there are also other pill-like workers who work hard and stick to their brains. No matter whether you are saving precious memories in the abyss or holding a vacuum cleaner, they are all in the past. To help you move forward. So on the road to salvation in the second half of the plot, the swallowing of popsicles is also inevitable, because not everything that has brought you happiness can be engraved in the bottom of your heart. People have to grow up.
It is these little people in their brains who guard their favorite little girl in 360° for 24 hours, even when she is on duty when she has nightmares, watching the memory balls representing different emotions rolling along the track into the memory warehouse, they A sense of accomplishment and responsibility are both. This is an exquisite animation, all-round catching fans: adults can see the importance of teamwork in the workplace, and children can discover that there is a fresh life that unconditionally represents that the whole world loves you. The blue-haired JOY with gleaming fluorescence is undoubtedly like an octopus on the console. The project manager’s MVP self-feeling setting is her instinct to be positive. However, whether it’s happiness, the main focus is on pleasure or negative emotions. They are all incomplete emotional experiences. It turns out that life is a combination of dredging and blocking, eating whole grains, there is no easy happiness, all positive gains need sadness to pave the way. JOY and SADNESS’ brain circumnavigation adventure also tells you: The rules of the brain world are the same as in real life. Although there are shortcuts to take, the journey back to the headquarters is full of thorns. If you are not lucky, you can finish it.
While helping Riley to get through the youthful troubles of the adjustment period of moving, he is also completing the eternal theme of American cartoons: self-realization. ("Emotional villains" hope for self-realization can be compared to the game characters in the virtual game world of "Invincible Destruction King" who try to fight for the protagonist's life.) Although the essential work is emotions, the "emotional villains" will also I have my own emotions: like the tears when JOY fell into the abyss of oblivion. "Do you still remember the way she stuck her tongue in a picture. I can sit there all day and listen to her telling stories. I just want to make Riley happy? Get up." And SADNESS's low self-esteem when facing grandma and uncle. There are more than five kinds of strange emotions in human beings, and even the emotions themselves may have complicated brain circuits. Rather than paying attention to Riley's undisturbed daily life and finally reconciling with his family, I am more concerned about whether all the young people in the workplace have undergone transformation and recognize their own value. This is a more exciting stage than the outside world.
Going back to the question at the beginning, does this movie have some cliché shortcomings? Yes, the core of its story is actually unfolded by guarding my childhood, but the degree of completion is still not as good as the touches that "Monster Electric Company" and "Toy Story" brought me to my heart. There is a regret that I missed my breath. . The only two tears occurred when JOY cried while holding the memory ball and the popsicle disappeared in smoke. The pattern of the story is too small is a key problem. The adventures in the brain are colorful, but this kind of crises of petty troubles spreading to the real world can only be a slightly mediocre daily life. The film lacks a broad field of vision, and can only stay at a shallow level of touch and surprise.
Fortunately, "Brain Agents" has a good foundation and can leave audiences with endless reverie. The idea of shooting a sequel is already full of brains: whether there are any new emotions that emerge from the subconscious area as age grows. Emotional player? Apart from JOY and SADNESS, what stories will the other three friends face? As soon as the blooming season arrives, can the fantasy boyfriend get rid of the fate of running around and really fight for Riley? Will JOY, who has a subtle "parental" perspective on Riley, have new growth? Will popsicles be resurrected from the depths of memory? "Brain Agents" can completely follow the path of "Toy Story" episode by episode by opening the protagonist's real-world growth environment to enrich the mentality of a group of anthropomorphic characters. The further construction and groundbreaking of the world in the brain is only the beginning. One day when the buildings in the world in the brain sculpt a light to illuminate reality, it will be regarded as opening up the two lines of Ren and Du in the series of movies.
