Because there are really no movies to watch, this year's summer theater movies are really bleak. The meaning of being bleak is not that there are no blockbusters, it is a film that really does not make people look forward to it. It's full of bad movies. Just watch the animation... The
real popular "Zootopia" is full of political myths, and it sells so cute. "Angry Birds" hides the metaphor of the refugee crisis...
In short, recently people feel that animation is really a good knife, a beautiful cabinet that can hide things. Being able to tell a story well with animation is better than serious reasoning.
If you watch "The Secret Life of Pets" with the expectation that you can think a little bit, like me, you will be disappointed. Although I knew that the Minion team's purpose is to sell cute, but I thought it was just a stupid name, oh, it turns out to be a little stupid (embarrassing my forehead...) I was so
sleepy that I couldn't control my eyelids, forget it, when I go shopping Tired of shopping.
What do pets do at home when the owner is not at home? Directly the old stalk of "Toy Story". It is not a very creative story to hear that two dogs who are jealous of each other make friendship in adversity, and a group of good friends desperately rescue the protagonist in distress.
There are a lot of laughs, and I probably missed a lot when the eyelids were fighting. The laughing point is basically all the cuteness of the small animals, all the time, and trying their best to be cute. Nothing but cuteness. This way of selling cuteness is really not as creative, natural and distinctive as Minion's cuteness.
The characters are really cute. I like the hoarse and particularly brave Bomei Tweet, and I also like the contrast between the gang boss who looks harmless to humans and animals. But in the final analysis, it is because of cuteness, not emotional, not the three-dimensional love of ta characters.
And small animals are really just pets that serve human beings. There is very little "anthropomorphism". It seems that the protagonists are pets, but they are actually humans themselves. If you want to express the affection between pets and their owners, don't want to have a happy ending. Even the bad rabbits from the abandoned animal army have recovered their cute pet attributes and were brought home by a little girl.
Man, it's not fun to take yourself too seriously. Too many shots are looking down at these pets from a human perspective, these silly cute creatures waiting for their owners to get excited. Loyalty without self. (Of course, real life is not the same thing)
This film, just like the reason pets started to exist, is to relax, entertain you, delight you, and make you cute, but without self.
