Last weekend, I went to see "Toy Story 4" with my son. Time flies, I remember reading the first "Toy Story" when I was still reading, more than 20 years have passed in a flash.

The "Toy Story 3" of that year, as a "Growing Farewell" theme story, was perfect, and it was also the best ending of the "Toy" series. After Consummation, what kind of story can you tell? I'm curious.

After watching it, I think the movie is great, it's worth spending time watching, and it's worth writing a movie review. As a movie that can be watched with a relaxed and happy state of mind, it is worth further thinking after watching it.

woody and shepherdess

01. Two separate balances and trade-offs

Woody and the Shepherdess love each other, but they are separated because the Shepherdess was handed over to others 9 years ago. Originally, Woody had the opportunity to go with him, but he chose to stay at the host's house just because there are many good friends here. Such a choice is like the choices that many young people have to face when they step into society, and some of them must be regretful.

The days passed peacefully, and Woody and friends were passed on to the next owner, Bonnie. Woody has lost the favor of his new owner, but fortunately he still has friends. Bonnie went to kindergarten for the first time and assembled a new toy, Cha Cha, and the story started another line... In order to find Cha Cha who ran away, Woody and Shepherdess reunited again. The former is still a toy with an owner, and the later Those who become stray toys - free and full.

At the end of the film, Woody is faced with a new choice - returning to his master (comfortable and safe with friends) or choosing a shepherdess (with a loved one), and this time Woody chose the latter. Such a choice is just like us who are ups and downs in the workplace. Although it seems that every time it is an independent choice, it is actually still affected by the objective environment and mentality. It is impossible to completely get rid of various restrictions and make a choice.

Perhaps with the passage of time, when you have more and more "weights" in your hands, and you have more freedom, you will have the opportunity to make more free choices.

Just remember, no matter which one you choose, be prepared for the consequences.

Gaby Doll

02. Drama without bad guys

Before the movie started, my son asked, "Are there any bad guys here?" I replied, "Mostly not, and if there are, I'll explain why they've turned bad."

The villain in the movie is Gaby Doll, her own music box is broken, so she wants to exchange Woody's, she thinks that she will get the owner's love. After exhausting all means to complete the exchange, it was discovered that the owner did not like her because of it. If the Gaby doll is real, it should have lost hope of life. At this time, it was Woody who encouraged Gaby Doll to go out, "There are many children out there, and there is always one who likes you..."

The plot developed as everyone wished. The Gaby Doll found a new owner and comforted each other when it was lost. The two wounded hearts were healed at the same time. This is also the greatness of Disney screenwriters, writing the story unexpectedly and reasonably.

03. Separation of time and space does not block connection

Sometimes, watching a movie is like a daydream, and everyone hopes to comprehend their own revelation from it.

For me, the biggest inspiration from Toy Story 4 is that the separation of time and space does not stop the connection.

Toy Story 4 is a story of growth and maturity, separation and reunion, value and challenge. The story follows the route before the development of technology, communication is inconvenient, and it is difficult to reunite once separated.

Nowadays, technology is developing rapidly. If we want, we can keep in touch with relatives and friends far abroad, breaking through the barriers of time and space. So it seems like Woody might have the opportunity to be with the Shepherdess at the first choice, while keeping in touch with the owner and other toy friends via video calls, and vice versa.

In fact, sometimes, what seems to hinder our communication may not be technology, but the barriers and barriers between people's hearts. Despite seeing this through, many people have spent their entire lives unable to break through.

Maybe it's time to let go of swiping WeChat, playing games, and calling your parents.
