In the afternoon of a certain holiday, because I haven’t been able to watch a movie for a long time, and I’m a little tired of watching those “big movies” full of philosophy and full of detailed lens language, I suddenly feel that watching a cartoon is also a good way to heal the mood at the end of the term. Good choice.
Build a "monster" world
The journey of Big Eye Boy and Mao Monster to work shows us this "monster city": this is a complete society, the same as human society, with rules and laws. An orderly life, individuals with different appearances, monsters with different accents... In fact, the footage in the later "Crazy Zoo" is very similar to this paragraph.
TV commercials, family phone calls (this part can get the tag of "Innocent and Cute" for Big Eyes), screening and training of newcomers, snot-like "coffee" the boss drinks, and water monsters and snow monsters are all exiled The monsters and so on, including the close-up of the sashimi in the sushi restaurant where the big eye boy is dating... while building a new world, it also retains the inextricable connection with the audience’s traditional cognition. I personally like this This kind of fun, and I really admire the creativity of the screenwriter, but I don't know which monsters are made into sashimi... In fact, it is also insinuating the cruelty of human beings.
There are also many allusions to human society. The high level of vigilance and fear of human children is just like the human beings’ vigilance and fear of unknown creatures; whether the rumors that human children will die are the same as the characteristics of people’s falsehood that three people become tigers; working monsters wear sharp dentures , Put on terrible eyeballs, changed his usual appearance, and removed his disguise after work. I don’t know if those urban white-collar workers will resonate after seeing it; the interviews with the child witnesses on TV made me understand the screen. Smile-the media pays more attention to the hot spots, and there are really a few truths... The director did not grasp a certain point to discuss something, and he can understand it naturally, and the children can’t It doesn't hurt to understand, I can only say that the creative team is interested.
The collapse and reconstruction of trust and friendship
The plot took a huge turn after they went to the boss for help (of course it should also happen). The boss became a behind-the-scenes boss, and the two were banished (I really want to mention that the snow monster is so cute). What impressed me the most was the collapse of trust between Abu and her Kitty. The child saw the hideous face of the fur monster who had been caring for her, and hiding from him, the fur monster also saw it from the monitor. The scared expressions of herself and the girl, and the guilt in their hearts, may be the reason why the Mao monster can't wait to go back to the girl, which also promotes the development of the plot from a certain angle. In fact, the friendship between Big Eyed Boy and Hairy Monster is not "collapsed", it is just a contradiction, the image of a plump character~
Warmth and growth
These two points are common to almost every animated film.
From the beginning of meeting the little girl, the fur monster was melted by her a little bit-it is the most scary monster, and it is also a big Kitty who is holding a piece of garbage and weeping. It resolutely went back to save the girl, and grades and fame became unimportant. Compared with Ran Dao's obsession with grades, Mao Wei is a little more calm; compared to Mike's witty elves, it is a little more honest and reliable. It was because it realized that "the energy of laughter is ten times that of screams", saved hundreds of people on the verge of unemployment, and turned the factory that was once full of screams and roars into a happy field of laughter and laughter.
Mike went from resisting to accepting the girl, and finally bid her farewell gently. He never understood the furry monster. He helped him put the girl's door together and hurt his hand everywhere. Finally, he saw the bar code on the magazine. I was still so happy when I was blocking it—just as it was at the beginning, the beauty that remained after the changes in the world was also moving.
The girl went from being naughty, relying on the fur monsters, and afraid of Lan Dao at the beginning, and then fighting to protect the fur monsters. While laughing "the little girl is so powerful", it is also her growth.
The movie ends with a familiar "Kitty!". We don’t know if Mao Wei meets Abu again, but I believe it’s the warmest ending. I also believe that these cuteness really exist in another space in the closet. Monsters. From then on, the children are no longer afraid of the monsters of the night, because they are all here to make you happy, and when you smile, they will have light.
