Pixar is still the same old-fashioned Pixar, and toy story 4 shines brightly between the subtle gap between children's and adult-oriented movies, and the balance is impeccable. Like the first three, whether you are a big child or a small child , toy story 4 will definitely let you spend 100 minutes (minutes) of joy without regret.

When the audience's excitement gradually dissipated with the climax of the lovely ending song, the empathy for the toys ended, and the thinking began, the audience gradually discovered that many of the little "fantasies" that Pixar placed in the film were actually When the "reality" was projected, we were really hit by Pixar. It turned out that the toy was ourselves.

Toy Story series has always been interesting point of view there are many available, such as adult and children (reality) ---- children and toys (fantasy) two perversion of power relations, toys (fantasy) --- slaves (reality) which The identity crisis of two pairs of relationships .

Now, taking advantage of the aftertaste and freshness of the film, aside from the cliché of political correctness, I would like to revisit it. In toy story 4, I think the most interesting character, Woody.

Woody

If, in view of the world of Toy Story, each toy will hold a relationship of reality can be mapped to its owner's words (such as master-servant relationship, friendship), four miles in Toy Story, Woody for Bonnie really What kind of relationship do you have with Bonnie?

Compared with the individual independence respected in the West, in most eastern societies, the family often exists as the smallest unit. This has also led to the fact that the parent-child growth history of eastern families is very different from that of the West. Hu Di may not have thought of it. In 9012, when I did something in Toy Story, I found a model and a model in the far east. Tsk tsk, the world is full of wonders.

Yes, you guessed it, I think Woody and Bonnie originally mapped out the relationship between Eastern parents and children.

From my own observation, Hu Di, like many oriental parents, is the parent who will never be at ease when the child is "growing up" (age 0-death) , and also replaces all Chinese parents and realizes that he can't wait to put himself in a school bag and follow along. Children's dream of going to kindergarten together (dog head). Bonnie was able to spend the first day of school happily, thanks to Woody's contribution behind the scenes. Although this over-responsibility seems blameless, he made a mistake that all oriental parents would make. Since then At first, he felt that Bonnie needed herself, and the subtext of this need was actually, I can't do without my child .

Newly arrived in this world, Forky, who is not bound by any rules, saw the problem at a glance, he said: "Actually, you need Bonnie." (I can't remember the specific lines)

You think that the child can't leave you, he is too young to face the world, but what is the reality, you can't leave the child.

I used to wonder why a lot of Chinese parents can have no life of their own at all, devoting everything to their children and calling them "love". Later, I found out that the reason why parents seem to have no life of their own at all, It may actually be because they have internalized their children's lives as their own.

Therefore, your parents will choose a major for you, arrange a job for you, match you on a blind date, and do not treat you as an independent individual, because they feel that they are in charge of their own life.

It's like Woody follows Bonnie to school on his own, and when he sees Chacha running away, he must find him. In fact, Woody can't accept that Bonnie can't be happy to enter the school, and it's Woody who can't accept finding him. less than pork on a skewer reality is when Woody first baby to keep him, saying that he must go back to Bonnie around the body needs , it has always been Woody only .

Parents need to get their life out of their children's lives, so it's not the parents who are responsible for the children, but the children who are responsible for the parents' lives, so parents can't stand anything in you that doesn't go the way they expected because "you" They don't exist, they're just "manipulating" their lives. In the parent-child relationship in China, a large part of the reason why the boundary can not be clearly established is probably caused by this kind of thinking.

How can parents be made aware that children are independent individuals with their own preferences and choices?

Just like Cha Cha inspired Woody, let him see that he (parents) actually need Bonnie (children), let parents see the absurdity of making children responsible for their lives, so let Cha Cha say this directly. From the beginning of the line, I believe that, like many viewers, Woody has actually been germinated. This is also one of the most important reasons why Woody is willing to leave Bonnie, re-enter his own life, and join hands with the baby at the end. Isn't the ending also a kind of happiness?

For the above-mentioned reason, it is enough for every oriental parent to take a look at this work.

end

There is no absolute difference between the eastern and western views of family and parent-child, and each has its own advantages and disadvantages. Eastern families are more closely united, and Western families are more respectful of the wishes of each individual. The advantages of the two sides may never be able to We can have both, but since we know that there is room for choice, it is good to find a balance in the middle according to local conditions.

Children will grow up slowly and learn to be responsible for themselves, and adults will eventually learn to let go. In this process, everyone will take less detours, so why not do it.

    If the third part is talking about the ultimate meaning of toys as children's toys, and saying all the companionship and gratitude, this one is talking about the toys themselves, out of which children belong, and have their own meaning and choice. Just like the first ten minutes of UP earned enough tears from the audience, but in the middle part, he asked the grandfather to discard the old "overweight" furniture piece by piece and let himself fly into the sky again. Toy Story 3 and 4 is probably such a relationship. Pixar always tells us to dare to give up, not afraid of change, to be who we really are. I have always loved Pixar.
