Thirteen years later, the sequel, Finding Dory, is finally released. It is said that this is an era of brushing feelings, but it has never been the style of Pixar to focus on feelings and light quality. Under the circumstance that the previous work has been consecrated, "Finding Dolly", as a sequel, can only be a propositional composition. Under the circumstance that the previous work has been very full and successful, the story continues within a certain framework. This is the time to test your talents and skills. Andrew Stanton, as the director of the two masterpieces "Finding Nemo" and "Wall-E", finally returned to the animation field after his first attempt at directing the live-action film "Alien Battlefield".
Of course, "Finding Dolly" is not like "Minions", as a derivative sequel, just pretending to be silly and selling cute (although cute is so cute that I also like it). If "Minions" is a limerick that is popular in the market and makes people laugh, "Looking for Dolly" is a serious literary work that precedes the worries of the world.
Most of the Hollywood animated films follow the younger-aged route of family fun because of their strong commercial attributes. But Pixar can always tell you a really deep story under the surface of joy. We are accustomed to appreciating the demeanor of heroes in various commercial blockbusters, whether they are superheroes with extraordinary talents, gold medal agents who jump over the eaves, or heroic speed riders, they are all charming and robust. ,perfect. However, "Finding Dolly" uses the channel of "animation" to maximize the ability of imagination and plot setting, with the less "perfect" Dolly as the first protagonist. Including Marin, Hank, Destiny, Bailey, all have physical defects of one kind or another, however, in such imperfect lives, they accomplish what those superheroes, gold medal agents, and speeders have accomplished. As a result, minority groups, including disabled people, homosexuals, etc., can experience the theme of "anti-discrimination" in this story.
In addition to this, there are the themes of education - Marin's education to Nemo, Charlie and Jenny's education of Dolly are very different, which resonates very well with parents; the theme of environmental protection - this time The background of the story is placed in the Institute of Oceanography, which was originally an organization dedicated to environmental protection, but the sewage of the organization polluted the ocean and devoured the beautiful underwater scenery, so the "release" at the end is even more pleasing; the theme of self-positioning ——Dolly has been busy for a long time. Facing her memory that is disconnected at any time, her own lack of confidence, and the worries and doubts of her friends, she does not know how to live in the vast sea. Fortunately, in the process of searching for her roots, she gradually becomes more confident. .
Also, the theme of family affection is the most moving, and it is also the origin and foundation of the whole story. When Dolly found her parents along the direction of the shell, what she actually accomplished was not only a reunion, but also a fusion of several major themes. Because her parents were worried that Dolly could not find her way home, they told her to recognize where her home was through the shells. In the end, Dolly did it. This is a success of education. Because the seabed was polluted, other animals were moved away. Only Dolly's parents, Charlie and Jenny, stayed where they were, waiting for their daughter's return. This was an accusation of environmental pollution. Because she found her parents, Dolly finally knew where she came from, and what she loved and cared about in her heart. This was the comfort of growing up overnight.
After watching this movie, I often think of an old song by Fan Xiaoxuan, "Oxygen" - "If you love me, you will come to me". The song of the year sang sad love, but it was so suitable when used in this story about searching. With love, Dolly crossed the sea and the horizon, shaken off the dust of her life, and finally returned home. With love, Charlie and Jenny never gave up, regardless of the changes in the sea. With love, Marin and Nemo overcome the fear of traveling again, and they are always there for their friends.
That's what a movie is about, and that's the magic of Pixar. Although compared to the natural agility of "Finding Nemo", "Finding Dolly" is still a little more deliberate and verbose. The plot of the former relies almost on "quick wisdom", and sees tricks and moves; the latter has Hank and Bailey, one walking and one positioning, which is much more convenient, and it is almost effortless to do things, although the whole plot is generally reasonable. , but also a little less exciting.
If 2015 was a year of global character explosion, then 2016 was a year of steady progress for Disney to usher in a bumper harvest. Star Wars still has its prestige, and "Zootopia", "Fantasy Forest", "Captain America 3", and "Finding Dolly" have been sieging the city in a relay-style, gaining a double victory at the box office and word of mouth. And "Finding Dory" is likely to surpass "Toy Story 3" as the best-grossing animated film in North America. While this isn't the best sequel, Pixar is undefeated this time around.
