As the longest-running cartoon in American history, the Simpsons have long been heard. Upon closer inspection, the first impression is that they have an American style. An important characteristic of Americans is that they understand their shortcomings, understand their own methods, and dare to put it on the table. Compared with South Park, a cartoon full of pornography, violence and profanity, it seems to be much purer. It focuses its energy on the irony of society. Its vitality is very long due to its ironic success.
At the beginning, the film opened with the story of the moon landing, with a funny interpretation of the cartoon cat and mouse, the ugly behavior and irresponsible attitude of politicians, the mainstream media was flooded in daily life, making the public seem to be actively choosing but passively accepting The commercial propaganda of the United States and the performance stage of the American pop rock band Green Day were sunk in the polluted ocean in the style of the Titanic due to the selfish and pedantic of the public. In fact, this shows that the two important description objects of this film are politicians and the general public. The main line is pollution.
From the perspective of writing, the film is a good prose, but the form is scattered but hundreds of millions of people gather. The main line of the whole story has always been around the problem of pollution, good or bad behavior in the destruction and rescue of pollution by the public, and politicians. Behavior in the process of pollution remediation. In the course of the film’s behavior, there are a variety of seemingly humorous but realistic social issues, and they are facts in life that are invisible or deliberately concealed in domestic films or even Asian films. For example, when the Secretary of Environmental Protection handed the President five plans to solve the problem of polluted areas, the President didn't even think about directly choosing the third one. The Secretary of Environmental Protection asked, can you choose without even looking at it? The President said, I became president for leadership, not for reading bills. There are also some problems in family marriages: When his wife Maggie persuaded her husband Homer about the spider pig problem, Homer's head automatically changed the channel and did not listen carefully at all. This was also one of the reasons for the various problems in their family later. Americans say that this film truthfully reflects all aspects of their lives, from the national level to the small aspects of their lives. It is true, and it not only reflects the lives of Americans, but also reflects the lives of the Chinese. Life, even the lives of people all over the world.
But at the same time I also discovered a small shortcoming of this film, that is, the irony art is higher than the storyline of the movie, or it is not called the shortcoming, it is called the characteristic. Perhaps its positioning is to embody life, and the plot is only used as the soil. A vast piece of land is always suitable for the growth of all kinds of plants, so this piece of soil needs to be able to set off the luxuriant foliage of the plants growing on it and if it does not steal the limelight.
But to talk about the biggest feeling after watching this film, I have some small regrets. The film is good. It exposes the ugliness in all aspects of life in a humorous and clever way, but it does not tell us how to solve it. , Maybe the exposing means is shouting: pay attention to it~ it’s not right, that’s wrong, it’s just about solving, it always seems that there are various methods, but often various methods are always unable to really solve the problem completely, so I suddenly remembered the great Marx’s dialectics said that everything in the world has contradictions, and contradictions cannot be truly resolved. If the contradiction cannot be resolved, then after watching the play, wouldn’t we just laugh, understand, and then continue to live? So some people say that comedy looks like comedy is always bitter.
