Keywords: Disney Princess Ocean
One. It is
recognized by technology that the visual effects are well done, especially seawater and hair. The end of the film lists two departments dedicated to seawater and hair, which shows the amount of engineering.
There is no denying that story is important to film, but technology is at least as important. Even pure text can play a lot of tricks (such as Borges), not to mention that the elements in the film are very redundant: sound, picture, performance, editing, special effects... a story is one thing, how to express this story is another one thing. Furthermore, cut off the branches and vines, the motifs that come and go are nothing more than those.
two. Story
1.
There are not many ocean-themed animations in Ocean Impressions. But if you think about it carefully, the backgrounds of Finding Nemo and Shark Tale are all set in the sea. So if you narrow down the scope a little, it should be said that there are not many marine-themed animation works with people as the protagonists?
Haven't seen The Little Mermaid, but guess the ocean is probably just a set board. "Song of the Sea" should be a positive example, and like "Pocahontas," is born out of mythology.
2.
The conflict between the theme and characters and the physical father is a very common plot in growing-up films, and a strict father and a loving mother are also standard. It was the grandmother who took on the role of spiritual father and pioneered the challenge of authority ("I'm the mother of the chief, so I don't have to report everything to him"). After seeing her grandmother's death, Moana immediately went to sea, as if she saw the young pioneers taking over the banners of their ancestors...ahhhhhhhh. Thinking badly, this is "the old don't go and the new doesn't come." Losing your external support is the first step for you to find yourself and gain inner strength. It is exactly the same as Maui's awareness of "I am still me without the spear" . The growth of Moana and Maui may be the same.
3. Double line
When I watched it, I always felt that there were a lot of growth points in the settings. I tried and retreated every now and then. I thought about it a little bit, except that Moana grew up with more levels (whether it is an outlying island - persuade Maui to cooperate - go up by myself), maybe because there are still Maui's growth line (actually the goddess also has a growth line... God of creation - lost herself - Moana called to find herself). In fact, "Frozen" (Frozen) has already begun to double lines... But there are probably two flowers blooming and one branch each, and here they go hand in hand...
4. Some
theoretical movies that do not directly give answers in the film ( There is no need to list all the ins and outs, the causes and the consequences, and the audience (readers) have to use their brains occasionally. First of all, always assume that the development is reasonable in a cooperative attitude (Grandpa Mark Twain said that works are more logical than life).
For example, why did Maui go back to save Moana when he was in the nick of time?
Since Maui is not like Moana as the first protagonist, he can only rely on his brain to figure out the process of "I am me/I am me without the spear".
For example, why can't the ocean send his heart back to the hands of a dummy?
Is it because the black goddess can't touch the water, so she can't get close...
3. Label
1. Feminism
A. Princess
Disney used Maui's mouth to satirize the so-called "princess", "wearing a skirt" and "making friends with small animals" (I thought it would be the little pig with Moana, but I didn't expect the chicken to come out later). In fact, Moana doesn't look like a princess. The film has always emphasized that she is the future leader. Although he also mentions that he is the daughter of the leader from time to time, he focuses on the conflict between father and daughter rather than a princess without real power vs a powerful king. The future head has shown her solid working ability (picking fruit) and extraordinary problem-solving ability (what if the chicken is too stupid, what should I do if the coconut is broken, what if I can't catch the fish) - an outstanding leader.
Of course, there doesn't seem to be any conflict between being a princess and being a future boss. If the Sakli law is implemented, the princess may become the queen. I don't know what the inheritance law of Moana's tribe is like. However, the former leaders in the flashbacks are all male. If it has always been a direct descendant, it seems that it was not until the Moana generation that there was no male heir? After all, Moana is an outstanding representative of the only child in the story. If you think about it, the lack of boys in the chief's family is probably the result of the erosion of darkness...←_←
B. Love
a Cinderella, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, The Little Mermaid is the beginning of a love story, and later magnolia Frozen Love is not the main line of the prince men should step aside becomes the villain, Moana branch altogether with love are gone, 100% free of impurities friend .
Some people say that Maui is too ugly mainly because of his face?
Thick hair, strong body, tall man, please, this is the traditional handsome man of Polynesia!
By the way, I like Moana's figure very much, with a healthy complexion, rounded arms and legs but not bloated, can run, jump, carry and fight, plus the cuteness of the two-dimensional six-headed body. In aesthetics, we still have to believe in multiple values.

The topic of political correctness and political correctness has been discussed enough. This year, the US imperialists and Europe are not peaceful. I am still afraid that the refugee camp will be built near my home, and I am still especially afraid of encountering black or Middle Eastern faces when I walk alone at night (well, in my records of being stolen, robbed and harassed, the ethnicity of the perpetrators is relatively single...), Still don't like overkill political correctness. However, political correctness is still useful. You can't ignore the rebellion just because you talk too much and forget that the so-called overcorrection is nothing but a revolutionary cause with weak foundations and yet to succeed in just a few decades. Teacher Beard said that his 4-year-old daughter watched too much Snow White and always thought that only white people could be princesses. After seeing Moana, she finally accepted a brown-skinned princess. Still a long way to go.
