cloudy, sometimes meatballs

Compared with the name [Food Falls from the Sky], I think Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs is more loving. I never thought this movie would have such a theme. At first I wanted to watch it just to relax, but I got a sarcasm by accident.
I've always liked satirical films. Unexpectedly, this, dubbed the meaningless American animation, mocked misguided science.

1. Nerd or Frankenstein
can't call a child who is different every day thinking about how to be different, but this different child is thinking about how to provide something unique to the world and make the world a better place . So there are the sparkling but gray spray shoes at the beginning.
When we were young, we may have had a great desire to become a scientist when we grew up. I don't think all kids understand what the word science really means. However, there are always such a group of children who can squat on the ground and watch the busy ants forget the time; they can hold a magnifying glass, face the sun, and ignite the paper under the mirror. They are always full of yearning for the unknown nature and have a strong curiosity about the unknown.
However, the cruelty of growth will always turn everyone into the same mediocrity. So at this time, it is especially valuable to have a mother who is understanding and believes that you can always accomplish great things.
So our lucky Flint can put on the big white coat with a small body and happily run along the colorful science road. Even if all greatness turns into disaster, it is not so important in the face of inner belief.
Such childhood must be lonely, and always accompanied by the mocking eyes of others, but a strong heart will also be formed in this way.
Perhaps, every child has a Newton inside, but not every mother is Newton's mother.

2. But machine may out of control
as if this sentence was said by sardine dad in the restaurant to Flint who was about to get lost.
This sentence has been in my heart for a long time. I've always had a sense of resistance to science. In the face of every so-called high-tech, I always look at it with a critical eye, and compare its bugs with the previous simple tools, and then draw the conclusion that the high-tech is not credible.
Actually, I know that such tinted glasses are wrong, but I really have to believe that if we develop at this speed, one day, these tools invented by human intelligence will have some kind of terrible consciousness. Like those man-eating turkeys in the back of the movie.
What really surprised me about this movie was that Flint, who finally woke up, destroyed that machine himself. In an instant, I knew that if the earth was ever going to be destroyed by misguided technology, then we were the only ones who could really save us. Either with kill codes or spray shoes.

3. The phrase "get everything you want & be a great man"
was told to Flint by Mayor Shelbourne, who grew bigger with food, to convince him not to turn off the machine.
Mayor Shelbourne is a very monotonous character. He is the embodiment of greed. The director repeatedly wrote the word greed on the increasingly fat Shelbourne with ulterior motives.
What exactly is desire? I think it was still neutral when the word was coined. However, in this materialistic age, the word is obviously becoming more and more derogatory.
Money and power are inseparable. When you have money, you naturally want to have power, and when you have power, you naturally enjoy money. However, it is easy to get lost. The ever-increasing desire slowly devoured the heart, and gradually filled it with emptiness.
Even the little Flint got lost when it finally succeeded.
But if there is no desire, how can progress be made? Perhaps the upward spiral itself is a lie, but it is actually a repeating circle.

4. I wanted a Doppler Weather Radar 2000 Turbo
This sentence is the secret once in the mouth of the big glasses girl sam.
This little sister, who is called a temporary weather forecaster and is actually an advertising spokesperson, also had a fanatical scientific heart.
It's just that the unfortunate weather girl didn't meet Newton's mother. So at a very early age, he quickly abandoned his scientific heart and surrendered to the public aesthetics. She took off her glasses and lowered her ponytail.
But, well, movies always have countless buts. Frustrated weather girl encountered the magical weather of hamburgers falling from the sky. At the same time, encounter a nerd who is about to become Frankstein. And so, in the fairytale jelly palace, love begins. At the same time as love, there is the long-lost scientific heart.
However, at this time Flint seemed to deviate from Frankenstein.

5.Sardine papa
loves the most from the mother, and from the father deeply .
My father was always rude, my father was always deep, and my father was always the most sober.
There is a gulf between Flint and sardine papa and communication is always fruitless. Flint always thought Dad was unsupportive and wanted him to help out at the sardine shop to erase what he was best at.
When they broke up in the restaurant, sardine papa was alone in the restaurant wringing sardines alone, which seemed very lonely. While the whole island was cheering for not having to eat sardines, he was the only one who held on to his obsession with sardines. While everyone was cheering on the amazing machine, only he realized the disaster brought by the big food. But no one understands this kind of persistence and sobriety.
Finally, when Flint made a heroic limelight, papa's figure was lonely and outdated. When papa took a lot of hard work to send it to the funny cat, no one remembered that papa paid a big price for it.
Of course, what papa said with the translator was very touching, simple and profound.




In fact, the depth of this funny cartoon is always limited, but it really touched me. Compared with the old-fashioned family up and the funny-oriented IceAge. This at least also gives a new angle.
