If you can’t escape the rigidity of the plot, just do it step by step.

As the last movie before the beginning of school, the author and my friends chose to watch "Monsters University". For this reason, the author downloaded "Monsters Electric Company" in advance to do homework.
I remember that before the opening of the movie, a friend said, “The first story touched me, so I want to see how the two protagonists of this prequel met.” The author’s answer was: “I actually want to see the hair. How far has the system been upgraded?" The friends laughed out loud, and laughed and cursed. I have to admit that the author is really not someone who has made achievements in software and materials, but I still have some contact with it. As far as I know, in 2001, the hair system of "Monsters Electric Company" shocked the 3D animation industry at that time, which can be called a technological breakthrough. The author can’t tell the specific details, but the material of this work 12 years later is more real. It can be seen from the reflection of the big eyes and the strange eyeballs, and the movements are more lively and lively, but it is undeniable that the current animation works It is becoming more and more clichéd and cannot be said to be vulgar, but basically the plots follow the dramatic style, and the themes cannot be separated: courage, unfair harm, skill, humor, kindness, being in danger, by friends and family Love, hard work and perseverance. But it is undeniable that the play is well-handled, and the depth is even worse than that of "Crazy Primitive". That's because since you can't get out of the rigidity of the plot, you simply do well at every step.
Many people like the movie "Crazy Primitives" very much. "Crazy Primitives" is so good that when I watched this movie, I laughed from beginning to end, basically without stopping. I once thought that watching this movie makes money. It turned the sky, but after careful reflection after watching it, I found that there is nothing impressive about the movie. Now mainstream movies are increasingly pursuing utopia, but blindly utopia will make it difficult to remember the result. For example, there are a lot of classmates in the class, everyone has a name, but everyone's personality is similar, and the movie is like this now. If you want to be deep, you must leave something different. This movie did it, the following is the author's analysis.
The opening of the movie takes 5 minutes to tell how the big-eyed boy has the dream of coming to Monster University. At the same time, it renders the world atmosphere of the monster world and implants the monster's fear of children, and that only scared children can be Get details such as energy. This also indicates that the movie will use the big-eyed boy as the protagonist to tell the story in rookie mode. (The rookie mode, as the name suggests, is that the protagonist grows up in the movie in the rookie mode, so that the audience can better understand the world and empathize with the protagonist of the film. There are many such films, such as "The Lord of the Rings", "The Matrix", and "Kung Fu" "The King" etc.)
In the university, the protagonist first met his roommate Chameleon, and later appeared as a "scared second generation" Mao monster. It is not difficult to explain why in the first part, the Mao monster is a celebrity intimidating staff. The big-eyed monster in the film is shown by the top students who are not talented and hard-working. On the contrary, the Mao monster, on the contrary, a quarrel before the test provokes the principal of Mao, so that the monster and the big-eyed have to join the OK club. Get the scare cup competition to win back your own respect and enter the scare academy. In the end, OK Club won the championship, but it was the Mao monster cheating that made Big Eye a perfect score. Faced with Mao Wei’s distrust, Big Eye tried to prove himself in the real world. In the end, he failed and was fired. Mao Guai and Big Eyes formed a deep friendship, and together they started from the lower level of Monster Power Company and became excellent employees. (There are easter eggs at the end!) The
film explains a lot of the content that "The Power Company" did not explain. It is not so much an explanation, but a star guest appearance, which is why this film has a warm nostalgic feeling, just like " "Toy Story" is the same. For example, at the end of the film, auntie from the anti-child group appeared in protective clothing, the enemy chameleon, and the fur monster of Himalayan. This is something that the non-series film does not have. The difference between the opening and ending credits is very good. The first work begins and ends in the style of decorative painting; the opening of this work uses a simple animation to tell the hard-working process of the big-eyed boy’s school entrance, and the ending ends with the star card of Monster World. People's sense of the times is more authentic and credible.
Finally, with regard to the depth of the film, the author emphasizes regret. A story without regret is not a good story. However, many films now have to bend down and bow their heads for the sake of social effects and compromise on a perfect ending. Just like "Crazy Primitive", if the father did not escape in the end and died in the destruction of the world, then the story would end here. It is much better than he changed the rhythm and style of the film at the climax in a magical way. On the contrary, in "Monsters University", everyone has to face choices and make mistakes. Many times they have to make a trade-off, whether it is a foul or a failure. The difference is that every choice of "Monsters University" will cause more or less pain to the protagonists. Because of the pain, they understand. Just like a song: "Ah! What a painful comprehension." More plots will not be revealed. In the author's eyes, there are gains and losses in the real movie. The perfect one is a dream and you can watch it, but Can not be referenced.
It didn't break out of the rigidity, but each one went well, and the end credits were also very good. Monsters University is a movie worth going to the cinema.

    Strongly hold back the hand that hits the two stars. Pixar, who has lost his imagination, is getting more and more mediocre and terrifying. The narrative fatigue that has lasted for several years, where is the unique and amazing worldview in the past? Copying the human world is the most annoying animation creative thinking, there is no one.

    I feel like watching a live-action movie, and it’s amazing to have this kind of movie-watching experience for a cartoon! The film’s thinking logic, plot setting, and theme feelings are exactly what a live-action campus inspirational youth film does. It also reveals a sentimental laughter and childlike innocence. Those who have watched [Monster Company] will also gain something easy to make people feel. The moment when the egg tears of childhood. Without inspiration, it's okay to have a brain to polish the details. ★★★★
