Toy Story 4 The sugar-coated bitters of reality in fairy tales

Obie 2022-01-27 08:03:30

Pixar animations are all [reality] bitter medicine dressed in [fairy tale] sugar, from the first ten minutes of life in "Up" (Up), to "Robot Story" (WALL·E) WALL-E in the rain Solo dance, or the final goodbye of Woody and his grown-up boy Andy at the end of Toy Story 3.

Some people think that "Toy Story 4" should end in the third part, the toys should get a fairy tale ending, they and the new owner little girl Bonnie have lived a happy and happy new life since then, the music is playing, the story is here Freeze the frame, the curtain slowly falls, and the picture slowly fades out...

Just like Aragorn beat Sauron to the throne, don't care how he runs the kingdom of Gondor, like Harry Potter married Ginny, Ron married Hermione, don't ask if their married life Happy and happy, the hero who defeated the devil should rule the country in good weather, and the princess who married the prince is destined to be happy and happy, then our favorite characters should get a fairytale ending, and the original Pixar animation. The truth is not a [fairy tale], but a [reality]. [Reality] Will keep asking us what happened later... Then what happened...

In the future, "Cowboy" Woody will flow between new owners one after another, fulfilling the responsibility of a toy to accompany children's growth. This is the expression of the first three 1.0s of the "Toy Story" series. After 2010's "Toy Story 3" that could be called the series-perfect [fairy tale] ending, Pixar will bring us a decade later, except that I have no worries about the progress of CG technology (in fact, there are many scenes in 4 It still amazes me), in terms of expression, [reality] means the innovation of 2.0.

Today, with extreme anxiety, I participated in the advance viewing of "Toy Story 4". I am extremely afraid to see a work that keeps showing off its feelings, keeps calling back the plots of the previous three movies, and keeps repeating its self-expression, just like most of the Hollywood series.

And when I walked out of the boys/girls room with Toys and experienced 100 minutes of [real] world adventures, faced with a cruel world where toys would be damaged, abandoned, and even have psychological shadows on their owners , maybe you are no longer the first toy in the little master's life, but you will be lost in the responsibility of being a toy company and cannot extricate yourself. It is no longer always sunny here, and there are even tributes to "Annabelle" and "Dead Silence" ( The uncanny valley) The uncanny valley effect, Jump Scare, which suddenly scare you, will turn into a hilarious laugh in the next second.

After laughing and pondering, in the last 5 minutes of the film, I can no longer break down my emotions. With the beautiful music, I took off my 3D glasses from the seat of the cinema and started sobbing loudly, "Toys" The good medicine of this dose of [Reality] is really bitter! How "sweet" is the [fairy tale] sugar coating of the well-designed jokes and gorgeous animation scenes in the film, and how "bitter" is its [reality] core. Good medicine is bitter, and reality is painstaking. Illness, in the face of [reality], what I get rid of is confusion.

Just a sip of [fairy tale] honey, drink a spoonful of [reality] good medicine, after watching "Toy Story 4", calm down and think about where our life is going?

    Mediocrity, incredible mediocrity. In order to keep pace with the times and highlight the girl's power, I forcibly changed the character of the shepherdess from a playful and unrestrained vase to a female leader with strong leadership and action. I don't like vase, I just dislike this process Deliberateness and greatness in any form. In the past three episodes, the relationship between toys and people has maintained a delicate distance. In this episode, toys can directly affect people, making the story lose its original warm fairy tale feel. Lasseter's replacement really had a big impact. . .
