The story is the experience of ordinary characters looking for "where they came from". Dolly, who was lost a long time ago, couldn't remember what she was looking for because of her short-term memory defect. Seeing migrating rays rebuilt her memory of home, so she followed the ocean current to California to find her parents and home.
Most of what excites me is the marine scenes depicted in the movies, and the depictions of many species have a documentary-like beauty.
At the beginning of the film, the scene of the shoal of rays migrating is so beautiful that it is suffocating. The angle of view of the movie is shot upwards. On the one hand, it is in line with the characteristics of manta rays migrating on the shallow surface of the ocean, and it makes the shoal of fish look as calm as flying. I absolutely love watching rays, and they always remind me of flight as they swim past and go further up. And because of their flat bodies, they don't look like flying birds, but flying carpets, a scene from a fairy tale.
In the film, there are thousands of rays in the migration season. Their broad side fins rise and fall, their movements are calm as if the end is in front of them, and they are so turbulent that they can set off a vortex that can reach the depths.
At that time, like Dolly, we looked up and saw these ancient and graceful species forming a magnificent array in the ocean, the surging undercurrent hitting the heart, the rhythm of "Go home! Go home!" I'm afraid everyone wants to hurry to find the place where they were born, and care about the ocean currents that wind around them, and the big shark that can swallow you at any time.
I have always been fascinated by the sky light from the sea to the depths of the sea. In the painting class when I was a child, the depths of the ocean I depicted were always in the tone of "there should be light", and I would use yellow to draw beams of light, so the teachers could see my preference.
This movie is full of such light-filled pictures. At the beginning of the film, swarms of rays swim by. The gray fish did not block the light from the water surface. The light penetrated the sea and hit the rays, as if to illuminate. their way home.
And on the cliff under the sea, you can also see a ray of light in the distance, where Nemo ran away in a fit of anger, Marin embarked on a journey to find his son, Dolly remembered her parents, and rushed to the distance desperately... So, Marin is there Complain, why every time here, someone wants to go. Yeah, why do you want to go? Maybe there is light in the distance, and I only see light.
When Dolly got lost in the water, the tentacles of the surrounding aquatic plants were floating in the water, looking exactly the same in every direction. Only the sun shines through from above, radiating into the gaps of the water plants like stars. It was probably the light that made this place less of an abandoned place. Let Dolly find her way home in the next minute.
There is also a beam of light, from Pixar's small desk lamp that turned to look at the audience.
Pixar's animations are always related to the memories of many students. The deepest impression was when I was in junior high school. A small group of students in the class would always gather around the computer on the podium during their lunch break every day. I just finished watching "Robot Story" in a short section every day, and when I saw the cute disinfection robot Mo, Everyone laughed together, and then Eva held Wall E's hand, and we were just as nervous as she wanted him to wake up.
Later in college, someone asked Ed Hooks, the acting expert who always spoke on the film, and he said that we would be moved because these things that are different from people express human nature.
Pixar's animations are always surprising, they tell stories that no one has ever told.
What Pixar does seems to be just arranging human stories for some inhuman things, but these stories seem to be full of aura and imagination.
Perhaps there are fewer people who are willing to tell the stories of ordinary people. Everyone prefers twists and turns and bizarre, grand and tragic stories, but in fact, what they experience is precisely those in Pixar animation, farewell, search, growth, friendship. So the people who are closest to the child at heart tell these stories.
Thinking about it carefully, isn't the theme of Pixar's movies the fantasy that children often have - always thinking that when they fall asleep, the toys will wake up and play by themselves; you need to confirm whether there are monsters under the bed that will haunt at night; and the fish tank The fish inside seem to be always looking at themselves.
At that time, I always felt that everything around me should be able to speak, but I couldn't hear it myself.
Toys, animals, monsters, cars, machines, emotions, Pixar really makes them all talk, and the people watching have started to care less about them. Cartoons remind people that we can actually care. In fact, you can look at the old toys in the corner, and you don’t have to be afraid of the one-eyed monster that appears at night; in fact, the clownfish prefers to live in the sea, but the genius little mouse is willing to be your assistant; in fact, machines understand love better than humans, and are actually happy It's not everything, and there's nothing wrong with grief.
If you accept my absurd metaphor, people today are more or less like a memory-impaired Dolly, growing up and forgetting constantly, forgetting childhood playmates, forgetting the way home, and later I forgot what I was looking for. Then, they put "can't go back, can't go back" to their mouths and said it to themselves so that they could believe it.
And Pixar said this time, in fact, there is always a way back, in fact, you still remember.
