How to save our anime

I don’t know if anyone is as weird as me who likes to smell gasoline. Every time I go to the gas station, my wife only hates that the window doesn't rise fast enough, but I just linger. She called me a pervert, and I was very sad. Apart from sorrow, I can't remember where my metamorphosis started?

Two days ago, I was bored and turned on the dusty TV. The classic childhood cartoon "The Adventures of the Sloppy King" was shown on the screen. It's just that kind of one second, electric light flint, all my memories are like little sheep that have been lost for a long time, all come back.

Yes, I like to smell gasoline. I learned from the mouse king in this cartoon.

The purpose of telling this story, of course, is not to prove the origin of my brain damage. A cartoon can affect a person's behavior and habits. If my brain-dead behavior like the smell of gasoline can prove the charm of classic cartoons from childhood, I would like to suck it for a lifetime.

Sadly, Chinese animation, which had hoped to compete with Hollywood, collectively degraded to pre-kindergarten level at an indescribable point in time. The so-called domestic animation boutique that was exhibited at the exhibition was actually "Big Head Son, Little Head Dad". This kind of work that seriously violates the law of human reproduction, a father with a awl head gave birth to a son with a pie-faced face, isn't this what the old Wang next door did?

This kind of violation is also reflected in two modes of movie-watching behavior-

"Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf". It is children who take adults to watch. I have seen several parents like this in the movie theater, crying and crying that they would rather give My child buys an extra ice cream, stands in the aisle and waits, and is unwilling to be brainwashed by the mentally retarded for two hours; while the "Kung Fu Panda" and "Crazy Primitive" are adults who take their children to see them. The disliked children simply abandoned the family and abandoned their children.

Specifically, the movie "How to Train Your Dragon 2" obviously belongs to the latter.

Frankly speaking, in the past few years when the quality of Hollywood animation has declined, "How to Train Your Dragon 2" can only be regarded as a mediocre work in a mediocre year. The script is excellent but hard to escape clichés. The production is perfect but it is difficult to innovate. "How to Train Your Dragon 2", a family-friendly animation work, is a reversal from the jaw-dropping counterattack of "Shrek" back then, and there are still several in the middle. A monster power company.

Dragon training masters are the most resistant to catching the dragon devil. Between love and hate intertwined with ice and fire, father's love disappears and mother's love fills up the seat. Young people learn to face their own destiny through youthful impudence and growth restraint. In the legendary dragon battle Sounded the clarion call to prove the value of life...

If the central idea is expressed in a sensational way, then the movie "How to Train Your Dragon 2" is just like that. This kind of omnipotent script outline replaces the dragon with a sports car and the cartoon character with Wang Sicong, and can almost immediately vote for a story about the rich second-generation prodigal son returning to Jin Buhuan to compete in Cannes, France next year.

But, in fact, this movie is not simple. You can see the real chapters in the details, and it is full of Western awareness of our celestial dynasty.

Dragon, everyone knows it.

As early as the Han Dynasty, there was a story of Ye Gong’s good dragon. After the Yuan Dynasty, the exclusive relationship between the dragon and the emperor’s family was established. The "Chinese Romance" written by the Russians stated that "No one outside the imperial family dare to use yellow and five-clawed flying dragons. If it is found... to be punished with capital punishment." In

modern times, the Chinese people have awakened their national consciousness, and after pulling the emperor off the horse, they even regarded themselves as the descendants of the dragon.

When you think about it this way, "How to Train Your Dragon" seems too ill-intentioned.

In the entire cartoon, the foreign devil with blue eyes and big nose is flying all over the sky on a dragon! What does it mean? Do you want to continue riding on our Chinese children and shit?

What is puzzling is that a certain bureau's review has always been strict, why this time such an obvious innuendo has not been seen. I suggest that the Central Inspection Team should check it out~
