The furthest distance in the world is when I am at DreamWorks and you are at Disney.
So out of curiosity, I went to see the movie. It is really a very good work, whether it is from the brain hole, the wonderfulness of the story, and the shaping of the characters, it is irresistible.
The film opens with a scene where Jack frost is "born" as he discovers his magic and returns to town only to find himself invisible.
Then the time jumps directly to 300 years later, at the North Pole, Santa Claus is carving his toy, only to be interrupted by a snowman. Going out to see what happened, under the dome of a medieval castle, there is a huge globe with a modular shape and constantly flashing bright spots, which instantly makes people feel like NASA's command center. Later, with the unfolding of the plot, time has indeed crossed into modern times. It reminds me of another DreamWorks work "The Polar Express". Unlike Disney, which likes to tell stories from the ancient times or with a blurred time background, DreamWorks prefers to combine the classical and the modern, and clearly inform people of the time background. This combination of fantasy and modernity is really attractive.
Because of the Daredevil's return, Santa has gathered his pals to fight the evil one together. Seeing all the people who came is another climax of the film. The Easter bunny Bunny, the tooth fairy, and the dream god sandy who doesn't speak the whole time, but is too cute, uses golden sand to create beautiful dreams for children. Especially in the later time when everyone had a dispute, the dream god desperately used gold sand to form various symbols on his head, but because he couldn't make a sound, he was blamed by Santa Claus. Why didn't you say it earlier, I was really worried for him.
In fact, the plot of the whole story is not very complicated, that is, the Night Demon wants to be remembered again and replace the good hope in the hearts of the children who are guarded by Santa Claus and the others with fear, so he wants to be forgotten from the inside, The Ice Prince, who can't be seen, starts to disintegrate their alliance. He first grabbed all the little tooth fairies so that they couldn't take the children's teeth under their pillows, but the Guardian Alliance joined forces to foil the first round of Night Devil's plan. During the period, there were a lot of Chinese scenes in Shanghai, Beijing, etc. I don’t know if it was to please the Chinese audience, haha~ But the scenes were really well done! It's amazing.
The second time is to destroy Easter, once again feeling the director's wonderful imagination. Santa Claus lives in the North Pole, and his site is like a huge handicraft workshop, producing many toys; Tooth Fairy’s site is a dream castle, full of children’s warm memories; and Rabbit’s site is in his cave Inside, the huge green lawn and two egg totems, as well as countless small eggs, are reminiscent of the scene in "Alice in Wonderland". Dreamy and playful.
The result is of course that the guardians failed, and the dream god was also infected by the night demon. Seeing this scene, although I knew that the protagonists would definitely be frustrated before they could usher in the next moment of reversal, but the moment when the dream god disappeared. , still feel very sad. Because of that cute dream god, it's too reluctant to give up.
After that, the ice prince retrieved his memories with the help of the tooth fairy. He finally succeeded in protecting the child who believed in their existence because he had seen them, aroused his belief, and relied on him to wake up his life. Friends, come and join the fight against the Night Demon. The most touching thing is that when the guardians were a little helpless in the face of the huge team of the Night Demons, the child they protected stood up and said that he would also help the Guardians to fight against the Night Demons together. Night Demon laughed at the child's self-control at first, but when he touched the dark cavalry composed of Night Demon's fearful black sand, the black sand suddenly burst into a golden light and became its original form. color. It turned out that the hope for beauty in the hearts of the children was the power that Night Demon feared the most.
In the end, the Dream God was revived because of the children's overcoming of fear, and the Night Demon was defeated by his own fear of being forgotten, and was caught under the bed where it belonged by the dark cavalry he summoned himself. And with the defeat of the Night Demon, the Tooth Fairy began to collect the children's teeth again, all the dim light in the world was relit, and hope returned to the world.
Finally, when the guardians said goodbye to the children, the only child was very reluctant and asked the Ice Prince what he would do if the Night Demon came back after they left. The Ice Prince said the line that moved me the most so far, "Don't you believe in the moon after the sun comes out? Don't you believe in the sun when the dark clouds cover the sun?" As long as you believe, hope will always be in your heart. What you protect for it will also stand up to protect you. This is the meaning of your true protection.
The setting of every character in the movie, except for the festival he represents, has its purpose.
The Tooth Fairy represents the good memories and warmth of childhood.
The Easter Bunny represents vitality and hope, which is the beginning of everything.
Santa Claus represents childlikeness and happiness.
Dream God, represents the hope of a beautiful dream.
Ice Prince represents a happy heart, no matter what you do, you must keep a happy heart.
At the end of the film, the ice prince said why he knew that he was a guardian, because this was what the moon told him, so if the moon also told you something, then you must believe it. After watching this scene, I feel that my sleeping childlike innocence has been awakened again.
It tells us at least a few truths. First, fear will always exist and cannot be eliminated, but what we have to do is to face it and believe in good hope in our hearts, then fear will naturally be overcome. Second, no matter what you do, you must keep a happy heart so that there will be good results. The third is to believe and hold on to your dream, because it will definitely come true.
What we have to do is to protect our inner hope for the good. All good things happen naturally. Because that's what the moon said.
