However, Die Ya and Wall-E, who were also somewhat silly, gave people a completely different feeling. Banya only stays at the level of entertainment, while WALL-E brings complex emotions such as sympathy, warmth, sincerity, and touching. It can be said that “Danya” in racing is far less than Wall-E in “robot”. Why is this?
Because Wall-E's naivety is a kind of simplicity, he never had any inferiority complex and hesitation. Banya's stupidity is a kind of pastime, its every move, every word and deed seems to make people laugh, but after laughing, he can't think of what is ridiculous. Wall-E's naivety finally turned into a persistent pursuit of love and a courage to not fear any danger. In the end, the stupidity of Dian Ya was only broken by an inexplicable flash of light. As a low-level dilapidated car, it was inexplicably equipped with various high-end weapons-if a low-level machine was finally equipped with high-end weapons. Weapons and equipment have achieved victory and recognition, so can they still represent the capabilities and values of the "class" of inferior machines?
Wall-E's charm ultimately comes from a sense of tragic depth. First of all, it is ignorant. It does not know what it is for its endless and never-ending work on the earth. It can only work aimlessly according to the procedures set by human beings. Second, it is especially helpless. It was unable to overcome the dust storm on Earth, and was scared into a ball by the alien spacecraft and almost got burned. But it is such an ignorant, helpless and mottled robot, but it can always amuse itself and be full of optimism-it has set up a collection of parts with great interest, and it also cherishes the grass that it stumbles upon. Therefore, the audience is full of pity for such a simple and lovely character appearing in such a sinister environment. Its ignorance and helplessness seem to be doomed to a tragic ending. At the same time, its simplicity and cuteness add a few bright colors to this tragic piece of music. In general, this tragic feeling is quite deep. and plump.
Teeth are completely different. It is also ignorant, doesn't know what mustard tastes like, and eats a large lump of mustard like ice cream; however, its ignorance is only at the level of knowledge, not at the level of thinking about the meaning of life. It knows exactly who it is, what it is doing, and why it is doing it. It has friends, ideas, and emotions. In other words, if you eat a cut, you will become wiser, and Banya won't eat mustard next time, and it won't look so ignorant again, but Wall-E can't even eat such a cut. It doesn't have any tragic overtones, but instead is full of clown-like comedy.
The difference between Dian Ya and Wall-E lies in the difference between the sense of comedy and the sense of tragedy. While people love both comedy and tragedy, they tend to be more impressed by tragedy. Because tragedy always makes people think more than comedy.
In addition, I also feel that the dialogue of "Cars 2" is too "long-winded". This kind of "long-winded" is not only reflected in the lengthy and meaningless jokes of the TV station when broadcasting Doctor, Italian Racing and Die, but also in the heavyweight speeches that can show the theme of the film. In fact, it is much better not to say some words than to say them.
This film has two themes that it wants to express: one is friendship, and the other is that inferior machines can have their own value. The film spares no effort to rely on the protagonist's heavyweight speech to directly state these two themes, for fear that the audience will not see it. In fact, for a sensational theme like friendship, it’s okay to rely on McQueen or Diane to talk about it; but for a social theme that low-level machines can also have their own value, let the audience not break it and let the audience It may be better to experience it yourself. In the film, Dian Ya said loudly when surrounded by villains that even a spurned car model can exert its own abilities, and even if you become very rich, you may not be able to get real happiness. I think this kind of speech actually reduces the IQ of the film, and sometimes it is very important to reserve some space for the audience to think for themselves.
In contrast, "Robot Story" also has two themes to express: one is love that transcends hierarchy, and the other is environmental protection. The film reveals the importance of environmental protection and returning to the earth's homeland through heavyweight speeches, but it maintains a relatively hazy and gradual way of expressing the theme of love beyond the hierarchy, leaving the audience with infinite space for reverie.
