another inspirational movie

Hollywood movies like to use the protagonist's name as the title, reflecting the American rectum. The Chinese couldn't accept this, and had to make headlines a little bit, so Bolt was translated into "Lightning Dog", "Thunder War Dog" and other names that looked very high.

The story is actually a typical Hollywood-style routine of little people who believe they can become big things, plus Disney's usual warm line. Pull out the story structure of the film, and you will find that it is suitable for many films of this type. At first, Bolt thought that he had superpowers and that the owner was really in danger. The plot setting that he had to accept the reality after some setbacks was relatively new. Because of the influence of the Chinese translation of the name, at first I really thought that the whole film is the story of super dog fighting against evil forces.

Technically good, the animal hair, the explosion effect, the plastic ball that the hamster is in, etc. are well done. Maybe Disney wants to show that not only relying on Pixar in 3D animation, but also has some expectations.

All of the above isn't enough for me to give four stars, but again for reasons other than the movie - Bolt looks a lot like our Beanie. Involving such feelings, how can the score be objective?

Also, I feel like there's some mockery of Hollywood screenwriters implicit in the film, er, self-deprecation. An example: Three forgetful pigeons finally remember who Bolt is, so one recommends that he is suitable for the role of aliens, and points out that the audience also likes episodes about aliens. As a result, after Bolt and Penny retired, aliens did appear in the plot development of the series. Does this mean that even pigeons can be screenwriters? hehe. Also, when it comes to Bolt and Penny's retirement, Bolt is a good dog, because it's easy to find the same dog, but the same heroine can't, so I came up with a trick like plastic surgery, which reminds me of Sarah's beheading and resurrection in Prison Break.

Guessing some of the ideas of the main creators through some small details, this is one of the great pleasures of watching movies for me at present. Maybe I guess wrong, but the rights are mine, and the fun is mine. To know that a work has left the hands of the creator, how the audience or readers interpret it has nothing to do with the creator. When "Promise" was spoofed, Chen Hong compared the film work to the creator's child, saying that of course she was angry when she saw her child being insulted. This is actually a very "both and" statement.
