story continues the previous episode, which also happened in the Ice Age, and there are still persistent canine-toothed pine trees in it. If the intuition of the last episode is cold, this episode can only be described as cool. This is a cool, humorous and A cartoon that does not lose its humanity. Although the storyline is old-fashioned by some cartoon movies, it is by no means lacking in novelty. The thrilling action and majestic momentum are definitely the reasons for the audience to enter the cinema. In this episode, the friendship of the three protagonists is even deeper, and the humorous love of the mammoths has finally come to fruition. While allowing the audience to enjoy the cool audio-visual feast in summer, the director has not forgotten to show the consistent Hollywood spirit, and continues to bring it to life. Carry forward. I have to mention the canine-toothed squirrel Scott, who has an amazing passion for nuts. He seems to have become the spiritual focus of "Ice Age", chasing a nut almost crazy, and continues to laugh.
There's no death in cartoons, no real ugliness, even villains make jokes for a living, and we love cartoons for their lightheartedness, wit, and flirting with world affairs.
Serious men will also be shy in the face of love, show heroism in times of crisis, and mammoths finally have their emotional destination. It's really interesting that the little girl Ellie started to call herself a possum, this and this, the difference is too big, right? ! Although it is an animal and a cartoon, the big butt that twists and turns is really sexy. Ever since Diego switched sides in the last episode, I've had a lot of love for this saber-toothed tiger. It is said that tigers are the only big cats that can swim. Why are their ancestors dead? Maybe they have evolved since then, haha.
When watching this film, I am overwhelmed by the ingenious laughs in the film again and again. Even if the joke in the movie has a very strong sense of irony, we don't have to worry about the ins and outs, just be happy. Mammoth, Sid the sloth, and Diego the saber-toothed tiger, three of the best in the animal kingdom are still gags in "Ice Age 2", and after the escort of human children in the upper part, they continue to be human and their own in this part. ambulance operation. Compared with the previous part, after animals redeemed human beings and put forward a kind request that animals should live in harmony. The questions raised in "Ice Age 2" are no longer mild, and they sharply substitute our current earth environment into the movie to make a brazen spoof. And in the movie, you can see various totems depicting the end of the day in religion. But the director of the film who has despaired of the earth's environment is still kind and affectionate. Because the main group that the film needs to face is children.
In many cases, the proportions of animated films are not easy to grasp, love can't go too far, emotions can't be too extreme, and it must be easy to understand. Animated movies all have a general pattern: the theme of teaching and entertainment, the characters are fun and funny, the atmosphere is warm, and the protagonists are heroes. In this mode, the same creators are very likely to encounter bottlenecks when making sequels. Generally, all that can be played have been played in the previous episode, so most of the sequels have the suspicion of a dog-tailed sequel. Like "Shrek 2", like "Toy Story 2", there are no new tricks in the story. Compared with the surprises of the previous work, the sequel is frustrating in terms of the story, and it can only improve the technology of the previous episode. on the issue, but that's not what the audience wants. But "Ice Age 2" is not only not a continuation of the dog's tail. Compared with the previous play, which was completely unintentional, it feels absurd to use animals to redeem human beings on the general theme that humans should be kind to animals. This animation film can only be mediocre. 's funny work. "Ice Age 2" surpasses the top in the theme, the interaction of various characters, the plot design, the soundtrack and sound effects. It is also a superior work in today's movies.
Just as pediatrics is the department with the most headaches and the most difficult for doctors to deal with, the 'pediatrics' in the movie can't be easily confused, and this kind of movie is not limited to children. For adults, watching children's movies is usually the mobilization of the whole family. After the whole family is finished, the elderly can educate their children about some points of the movie. Although 'Pediatrics' is small, it has the same five internal organs as 'Big Pediatrics', and it is necessary to stabilize the mind so that the film cannot be too biased. Good or bad, the right to speak is still in the hands of adults. While making children happy, they must also make old children happy. Like last year's "The Chronicles of Narnia", the children were very happy to watch it, but most of the comments about this film were mainly derogatory, scolding the film for its inappropriateness from the whole to the parts. Such a 'children's movie' that only remembers to coax children and forget to coax adults is the root cause of failure.
In Ice Age 2, kids can see what they want: a mammoth who thinks he's a gopher. There are two gopher brothers who frequently tease saber-toothed tigers. Our hero Mr. Mammoth has a crush on the female mammoth who thinks he's a gopher. Sid the Sloth was still rambunctious, and then out of nowhere he became the king of their sloth clan. They are still thrilling and funny in the process of escaping the glacier, and the three characters have also broken through their own psychological barriers in the process. The most fun is the pair of gopher brothers, very rock-flavored. Among the newly added characters in this part, this pair of brothers is the most surprising.
The film is also for grown-ups: a satire on the status quo of the environment. The bald eagle symbolizing God and the devil. Migration target: Noah's Ark. The whole film is both an imagination on the eve of the flood that wiped out human beings in religious legends, and a worry about the current environment of the earth. The soundtrack to the movie was wonderful. Before the disaster, when the group walked out of the glacier, they sounded like the drums of northwest China, which made my ears shudder and my hairs stand on end. In that kind of atmosphere, the original drum sound was played, and every bit of it hit my sensitive nerves, and I was moved for a long time. When Sid the sloth pushed his clan to the altar to worship him, when his sloth clan followed him and made the same sounds and movements, it was very similar to Kitano Takeshi's "Zatoichi" where ordinary sounds were transformed into movie music rhythms. But have more fun.
In "Ice Age 2", we can still see the huge impact of the little squirrel obsessed with pine cones on this glacial world. Two down, it has completely become the CUTL character in my mind. As soon as it came out, there was a dark comedy feel to the movie. Many times when the nuts are successful, the world will be in chaos. When I look surprised and helpless, I always think of Wu Zhenyu involuntarily. The neuroses of these two cute guys are somewhat similar. Although this comparison is very bullshit, I feel that this CUTL temperament is very similar. Having said that, the little squirrel's role in "Ice Age 2" has obviously increased. It should be that the producer has already understood the irresistible charm and popularity of this guy. However, the construction of the little squirrel in this part is obviously greater than the destruction. The two 'nut ice breaking operations' brought disaster in advance and released floods to save the world. In its second 'nut breaking ice', far away in the movie camera, the squirrel standing on the glacier is no different from God. I really like this character.
The love story between the mammoth and the mammoth who thinks he is a gopher is the main line in the movie. Like the pair of gopher brothers who are very playful, this mammoth who thinks he is a gopher is also playful active. The addition of it is not necessary in my personal opinion, but instead makes the doomsday totems and meanings shown in the film become nondescript, but other people's elephants also want to fall in love. And its inconsistency with mammoths in various opinions can also be seen as different opinions on the same issue between men and women. Especially when everyone rushed to the Noah's Ark at the end, the different decisions between the two. The mammoth's 'going forward' in the face of survival seems to be insinuating the irrationality of men's blood and brain at the juncture of life for the female mammoth's 'detour'. It's just that the film pursues an unspoken balance, so it is arranged for the female mammoth to encounter difficulties that cannot be solved by herself on the way to detour, and still needs the courage of men to rescue.
The disaster in the movie was caused by the melting of glaciers due to global warming, which seems to point directly at the status quo, but this issue is an indisputable fact for us. The sudden rise in temperature in the past few years, the climate of ice and fire every year after the spring, the flooding of seawater faced by coastal cities, and the floating ice floating on the sea in summer have all become facts in the past few years. But we are all only interested in the disaster that is happening in front of us, and the plague is more likely to cause us to panic than the disaster that is slowly sneaking in. If I say that the ice in the north and south poles will melt away soon, and the catastrophe is not far away, I will definitely make you laugh at me for being unfounded, but why not? In this situation, what can our personal efforts change? Even if everyone had this awareness at this time and worked hard to change the status quo, it would still be useless. Various data and indications show that this is the general trend.
I don't need Noah's Ark, I'll just be thrilled if that day comes.
