Animations often create a world, under various and interesting settings, allowing viewers to experience a story that can only be found in another world. "Brain Agents" completely transcends this point. Not only does it have a set of rigorous, complete and interesting settings, but more importantly, this set of settings is so closely related to everyone in reality-it describes ours. brain.
Feelings, anger, sorrow, fear and disgust, 5 emotions, are exactly the 5 villains in our minds. Sometimes an emotion dominates us, that is, this emotional villain is controlling the console, and sometimes we have mixed feelings, that is, emotions are fighting. The golden happiness of optimistic people is always permanent. When frightened, the purple fear will jump out. When harmful things appear, the green disgust will appear. Of course, everyone also has the moment when the red fire is full. Sad, but unique, the melancholy blue always inadvertently stands silently in front of the console, involuntarily sinking us into it.
The memory is a glass ball, dyed with the color of the emotion attached to this memory. Our memories are placed on the shelves, colorful and dazzling. Every day there will be new memories. At night, the memories are made into scripts and handed over to the "Dreamland" film crew to exaggerate or alienate them through filters, forming colorful or eerie dreams. Over time, some memories will be archived and sent to the labyrinth of "long-term memory" archives. Some of the memories accumulated in this maze will jump in front of us uncontrollably from time to time, such as the melody of the Internet Divine Comedy and some advertisements; while some will be swept into the forgotten garbage dump and vanished in it.
This labyrinth of long-term memory is an excellent material for abstract thinking. Our brains are good at summarizing and can distill concrete information into abstract concepts, which can not only be stored conveniently, but also can learn new information by analogy. Of course, this magical function may be terrifying to the individual who remembers, and perhaps after being drained of concepts, he will be ruthlessly abandoned. At the same time, this maze also makes the "Imagination Production Company" fruitful, whether it is the Cloud Country Solitaire House, Barbie dolls flying all over the sky, or the sage’s stone and gold saint cloth, which will kill the black dragon by itself, the endless fantasy of our childhood, there are The blooming wings became Pixar's gifts to mankind, and some were imprisoned forever and disappeared quietly. Some dangerous things in this maze were imprisoned in a prison called the "Subconscious". For example, the vacuum cleaner of the grandmother who smashed into the sky, such as the circus clown with weird face and perverted behavior (I still remember that I was particularly afraid of singing when I was a child). These are the common nightmares of countless childhood. Don't underestimate the subconscious minds imprisoned in this prison. A guy named Freud said that all our behaviors are ultimately governed by these things called "subconscious minds."
And the most unforgettable memories will be placed in the highest position, mapping individual islands. Human character is shaped by childhood, and its cornerstone is childhood memory. It can be the warmth of family, the warmth of friendship, the enthusiasm of hobbies, the purity of quality, or it may be the opposite of scary things. These islands are our spiritual support. They may collapse, they may be stronger, or they may be replaced by other islands. This process of collapse and reshaping, we call it "growth." Growing up is not a trivial matter, and the brain headquarters console has to be continuously upgraded, and there is even a nuclear button called "adolescence".
With such vivid metaphors and genius ideas for each of us personally, Pixar also told a simple and sincere story. Each of us has these experiences of emotions and memories. Simple and universal stories can remind us of our own memories. Many people have experienced the embarrassment of moving and after moving. Sincereness can make us intoxicated. The friends I imagined in my childhood must have disappeared in the mist. This story of happiness and sadness in the brain tells us that every emotion is indispensable. People who have been controlled by "happiness" for a long time often have inexplicable emptiness and exhaustion. Sadness can not only regulate, but also establish interpersonal bonds. We don't always have to imprison it in a small circle. For a truly rich personality and life, its core memory must be colorful.
Thinking back, what is the starting point of this movie? The little girl moved to an unfamiliar environment. A series of dissatisfaction shook the happiness that has always been dominated. Parents neglected communication with their daughters because of the new career. Isn't this something that every family in the world will encounter! The difference is that our parents as long as their children don’t lack arms or legs and get high scores in the exam to be obedient. This is not a problem at all. And they made such a witty, creative and conceived movie, just to tell the children like a dad that sadness is not necessarily a bad thing, and you can cry out if you are unhappy. This is part of growing up, and we have to accompany you. To you.
All this makes "Brain Agents" not only the best cartoon, but also a great movie. I have summarized the two great enjoyments brought to me by the movie, experiencing this world and experiencing another world. "Brain Agents" did both.
When people are lying on the bed in the middle of the night, I often search this archive of mine randomly, so that scenes are reflected on the ceiling in front of me. Seven flowers on a vine 20 years ago are not afraid of wind and rain. 15 years ago, the wind walked quietly during the time of recitation. When I said I love you for the first time 10 years ago, I was sad to breathe. Stop trembling, standing on the top of the city of Rome 5 years ago (in my heart) singing Vincero! The various colors in this, I am endless reluctant to give up.
