Film is an art, not a technology

Coinciding with the hot debut of Avatar, it was unstoppable, and other movies avoided its edge and tried to stagger the schedule. But there is such a vulgar country fox who knows nothing about the sky and the earth, and insists on showing his head, baring his teeth, and doing evil.

Let me shines

it is a cartoon, stop-motion animation, not only outdated technology, but also dress up the characters behind the times, but that does not delay I see interesting. Daddy Fox's wild horse's unrestrained ease, his calmness and calmness when a crisis comes, and he spares no effort to use his wildness and talent, I can't help but applaud.

Not entangled in technology, but not ignoring details, this film captures details to a harsh level. The row of small teeth bared by the father fox, Ash's fast flapping ears, and every hair on the fox's body are handled with sound and color, which is really meticulous.

The success of this film once again proved that film is an art, not a technology. What I like to watch is not the realistic special effects piled up by hundreds of millions of transistors, but the penetrating character depiction; what I like to watch is not the breathtaking scenes, but the powerful lines.

I love watching movies, but there was one year I especially liked - 1999. Fight Club and The Matrix are the love of my life. "American Beauty" and "American X-Files", which came out two years ago, also fascinated me like a lingering sound. I was puzzled to understand why. I figured it out recently, because 99 was the year that the film industry and computer stunts were about to combine. The great success of "Titanic" opened the door to the special effects of movies, and the film industry is about to set off a technological revolution. In the early stage of the revolution, the role of special effects is mainly to reproduce the real picture. At most, it can only be used to polish the real scene and make simple embellishments. It does not have the cost of constructing a complete virtual world instead. The writers, directors, and producers with funds still focus on those simple emotions, the struggles of human nature, and the insights of life. The special effects are just the icing on the cake. Therefore, the excellent films of this period can be called the peak of thinking. After watching, it is easy to resonate with the heart, rather than the resonance of liver tremors...

When we applaud the technology, can we think of the simplest things that once brought us laughter and tears? What about him, her, it? At least I will treasure those amazing fox dads in my heart...

    The works that are too hilarious are very fond of the characters and characteristics in the film. The key is that people's animations are respectful, respectful and exquisite~ The storylines are vivid and vivid. The infiltration of wolf nature and nature and anti-human malignancy is also just right. 【Do whatever you want】Fantastic! PS. Super love Mr. Mole. It's just..why did the mouse end so miserably...love the music recording design!

    Unexpectedly, the story adapted by Wes Anderson and Noah Baumbach did not impress me. Maybe it is because I have limited ability to accept cold humor, and the character modeling does not suit my taste. However, technically speaking, this stop-motion animation is produced at a very high level. Weiss has a soft spot for yellow and magnificent color schemes, symmetrical composition for obsessive-compulsive disorder, star dubbing, and classic old songs soundtracks are enough to let people watch them all in one go. (7.5/10)

    Petey: Doo-dah doo-day day...

    Petey: Let me take a little tick now to color in the scene: / 'Cross the valley lived three yokels name of Boggis, Bunce, and Bean. / Now these three crazy jackies had our hero on the run. / Shot the tail off the cuss with a fox-shootin' gun. / But that stylish little fox was as clever as a whip / Dug as quick as a gopher that was hyper-ack-a-tive.

    Other singers: Yeah!

    Petey: Now those three farmers sit 'twhere there's a hole 'twas once a hill. / Singin' diddle-dee daddle-da doddle-do doodle-dum! / And as far as I can reckon they're a-settin' up there still. Singin' zippy-zee zappa-za yappy-yo...

    Franklin Bean: [standing behind him] What are you singing, Petey?

    Petey: Just... just making it up as I went- as I went along, really.

    Franklin Bean: That's just weak songwriting. You wrote a bad song, Petey!

  • Kristofferson: Uh, do you mind if I slide my bed roll slightly out from under the train set? It's hard to sleep in that corkscrew position.

    Ash: [in the top bunk] There's a lot of attitudes going on around here. Don't let me get one.

    Kristofferson: No, it's only just my spinal cord getting...

    Ash: Sleep wherever you want, man. Here, take my bed! I'll just uh... I'll crawl under the bookcase! Who cares if I get splinters in my ears?

    Kristofferson: Never mind.

    Ash: Oh, you gonna pout about it? 'Cuz I've had it up to HERE

    [gestures with his hand]

    Ash: with the "sad houseguest" routine.

    [Ash turns off the light and continues to read his White Cape comic in bed]

    Kristofferson: Good night.

    [he lies down under the train set and begins to quietly sob; Ash comes down, turns on the train, Kris gets up and they watch it]
