Pixar grew up

One-sentence plot: A story about a rebellious young woman with ideals and pursuits who is brave enough to persist in the life arranged by her parents. Although she has gone through twists and turns, she is finally understood by her parents.

Half of the time I saw it, I always thought that there would be some plots similar to this: the invasion of foreign powerful enemies, the whole country was helpless, and the brave princess stepped forward to save the kingdom by riding alone for thousands of miles. But it seems that the most combative group of men in the film do the most thing is to drink and blow farts. Finally, when facing the big bear Boss, they are killed by a trick. The princess with superb arrows can only scratch the boss when facing the big bear. In the end, the mighty and domineering Boss was inexplicably KO...So you see, this is not actually a romantic heroic story. The so-called "courage" is not about facing up to difficulties and facing difficulties, but insisting on facing up to the heart.

The princess is a typical rebellious young woman. She doesn't like everything the old lady arranges for her. The happiest thing is to ride a horse across the mountains. If you have to say that this hobby has any special meaning, it really doesn't. To use the prevailing saying is that the behavior itself is not important, and what we look for is that kind of feeling. Whether it's fun or freedom, it's all right to make yourself happy. So when the queen asked her why she resisted getting married, she still couldn't tell the reason. What kind of reason is unfair? The phrase "not ready" is true. In fact, most young people are like this. You ask him what is ideal and what freedom is. He can't tell why he lingers for a long time, but when he tells him about marriage and buying a house, he will instinctively resist. What is the reason?" I still want to be free for two more years..." To put it bluntly, I have not prepared myself, but when will I be ready? Only God knows.

As for the queen, arranged marriages are very, very wrong, but she let the princess ask her own questions to test the concubines, which is considered okay. Imagine that if the Taohua Island martial arts contest was to ask Ms. Huang to ask the question, I am afraid that Young Master Ouyang would have been hugged and thrown into the sea to feed the sharks by Brother Jing. So the root of the contradiction is not actually arranged marriages, but the princess does not want to marry at all. The queen did not understand that sooner or later her daughter was going to marry! But she didn't know that when her daughter grew up, she would have her own life and her own happiness. Maybe the princess herself doesn't know what kind of life she wants. Maybe many years later, she will still find a prince to marry and lead the life of a husband and son, but at least now she doesn't want to live such a life. How many youths can be freely swayed in life? Scarlett said a classic line in "Midnight Barcelona", to the effect that maybe I don't know what I want, but I know exactly what I don't want. Perhaps this is the inner monologue of every young man who is unwilling to be arranged by life.

You can imagine that LZ is such a young man with vague ideals but yearning for freedom. He finally completed his studies and became financially independent. Suddenly one day my old lady called and said: Son, you are not too young. We have already paid you a down payment with half-life savings. You have to work hard for the remaining hundreds of thousands of loans... Become a house slave overnight. The taste made me tangled for a while, and I fought, but then after my old lady moved out the reason that my father was in poor health and needed care, I could only surrender with my hands. I heard Lao Luo talk about a story before, to the effect that his friend was very disappointed during his college years and felt that it would be a waste of life to continue, so he applied to drop out. As a result, when I got up the next day, I found my parents were kneeling at the door of the dormitory. A classmate of LZ had already finished his job before graduation and was confidently preparing to work in a big city. As a result, his parents insisted on letting him return to his home city to work, and they had already spent money to get him a place in a local institution. The classmate struggled for a long time and still compromised. Later, he told me that when someone tried to persuade him, he said, "The son wants to support him, but he can't wait for him", which immediately disintegrated his line of defense.

So you see that a rebellious young woman like the princess has never thought of hurting her parents, but when you make some decisions, someone will be hurt, even if the hurt is not from your heart. What is rare is that it is courage to be able to stick to one's choice when injury occurs. We can grit our teeth when facing external difficulties, even if we live in a village in the city for two days of instant noodles. But the parents' increasingly pale sideburns and disappointed eyes can make our courage disappear instantly. Perhaps in another time and space, LZ will lead a wandering life without a home because of no house, Lao Luo’s friends will run into walls everywhere in life because they don’t have a diploma, and LZ classmates will struggle in an unfamiliar city. Liu finally returned to his hometown sadly. But I believe we will not regret the original choice, because after all, everyone has only one life in his life. If you don't try it, how can you know that there is no other possibility?

The first time I watched Pixar was "WALL·E" in 2008. Four years later, we have grown up, and Pixar seems to have grown up too. In a sense, this film is no longer suitable for all ages. You can't let a child in school understand that his life depends on his own choice. The parents' love for themselves is great, but they don't have to be fully accepted and so on. Of course, different people have different lives, and not every child's parents will just arrange a life they don't want with their children. From the point of view of probability, it is normal to say that this film will be destroyed in half. After all, the probability of likes and dislikes is exactly half. The LZ coordinate is Lanzhou. The viewing time is 6 pm. There are three people in the big theater. Of course, it may have something to do with the time and version (original sound), but the box office of the premiere is estimated to be choking.
