As far as Pixar is concerned, the balance and implementation between industrialized production and authored creation is their housekeeper's magic weapon, and most of its works are easy to use between the two. There are not only toys that come alive without the owner's attention, monsters that come out to scare children at night, superheroes who have retired for many years, and mice who aspire to be chefs and other protagonists to build the entire world view; there are also the spirit of silent movies in Wall-E. The half-hour opening of the movie, the minute montage at the beginning of the Flying House Tour, and the visceral commentary of the venomous tongue critics are amazing passages. Whether it is an idea or a paragraph, the results Pixar finally handed over can always exceed the audience's expectations and catch up with its peers.
The predecessor of Monsters University, Monster Company, has basically constructed a huge and interesting world view-a monster world that scares human children to obtain energy, and a subtle ending that subverts its world view and closely narrates. Twelve years later, the sequel can’t make more articles on the creativity of the previous one, but looking at it as a whole, I didn’t expect that this supposedly more energetic and youthful university story has become so smooth and moderate: there is enough to watch the movie. Experienced audiences can immediately guess the plot of the next minute, the plot advances sloppy and frizzy, and the characterization is becoming more and more modelled and lacking in detail... The problems that should be encountered in Hollywood assembly line products basically appear in Monster University, and the imagination is gradually lacking. , Is a problem that Pixar cannot avoid at the moment, and it has become more and more serious in recent works.
But there is no doubt that Monsters University is a paragraph movie. If you feel that the previous tribute to the witch Carrie is not enough, then at the short climax of this movie, you can feel that the suffocating creator has gathered all the spirits and spirits of this horror film to show the die-hard temperament. In the exhaustive passage, the high-contrast treatment of the human world and the monster world is the same as the previous composition. The temporary lesson of Big Eye Monster is not only a tribute to the genre, but also a vivid director lesson-how to use limited audiovisual language materials to create a scary enough horror segment. At the same time, the metaphor of reality in this paragraph cannot but be moved. In the human (adult) world, the cold and gloomy tones of the children’s dormitory have replaced the original fantasy color tone of the monster university. No matter how scary monsters meet adults, they have to Survive with trepidation. Fortunately, the final solution is still cinematic. This is the final dignity of Pixar as an art creator: Since reality is beyond our control, let the film solve it.
For Pixar, the utopian and carefree student life is over. How to compete with other graduates who are getting better and better, and avoid becoming a passionless assembly line product maker in a big factory is the biggest thing they face right now. test.
