The score is so high.
As a gloomy creator, I often think about why Pixar can tell the simplest story so extreme. In fact, we all know that Pixar Animation is good at hitting the softest part of people's hearts, no matter what kind of theme is packaged, Pixar Animation The core themes of Pixar are very simple, nothing more than the three categories of growth, friendship, and affection, but this is basically the most common emotion of all mankind. This is the core weapon of Pixar to dominate the world, but in fact, any excellent work is Have such "universality".
1. The "problems" of globalization:
Whether it’s "Dream Travels" or some of Pixar’s previous works, chasing dreams is a common theme. The protagonist from an ordinary background struggles to pursue his own dreams and encounters various difficulties along the way (three obstacles: obstacles to others, obstacles to the world , Self-obstacle), finally realize the dream, and complete growth in the process of realizing the dream. Returning to "Dream Travels", the dilemma the protagonist faces can be decomposed by three obstacles. The obstacles to others are caused by the rejection of music by relatives, the world obstacles come from the recognition of the protagonist’s musical ability, and the self obstacles come from the protagonist’s growth. Drive obstacles: the choice of chasing dreams and affection.
With the global urbanization process, there are too many people who choose to leave their hometowns and come to the larger world to work hard and pursue their dreams, and most of this process is accompanied by separation from their families. Pixar is very good at using the oldest emotions (such as family affection) to comfort the hearts of modern people. From this point of view, Pixar is really invaluable on a certain level. "Dream Travels" is a typical example. The protagonist’s endogenous dilemma is the choice of dreaming and family affection. Although the core is family first, no matter how bravado, Pixar will never be cruel enough to have to choose one of the two. It will eventually give a double-best choice that satisfies everyone.
2. The root is based on the oldest emotion:
Although it is often wrapped in American values, the core spirit of Pixar’s works is often extracted from the oldest and common emotions of all mankind. It is not complicated at all. Most of it stems from the three categories of love, affection, and friendship, which are universal. The spiritual core can penetrate national borders, races, and disputes, hit the softest part of all mankind's hearts, and gain the greatest resonance worldwide.
3. Kindness is the most precious wealth:
Friends who often watch Pixar animations will know that the bad guys in Pixar animations are actually very facial, and they can’t be broken no matter how bad they are, and the common supporting roles in Pixar animations, no matter how stupid or arrogant, they The heart is extremely kind. Returning to "Dream Travels", whether it is the protagonist's grandmother, the puppy around, and the various ghosts who help him, they are extremely kind in heart. The kindness from the bottom of my heart is definitely Pixar's most precious treasure.
4. Anti-"anti-routine":
Pixar’s animation works often have impressive visual effects and setting creativity (the previous work "Brain Squad" is too creative), but in terms of plot layout, it basically follows the Hollywood three-act drama. In fact, a large number of plots are common routines, but this kind of routine arrangement conforms to the inner demands of the audience, and Pixar will definitely give the audience what they want in the end. Just like "Dream Quest", I think many people know the result very early like me, but this kind of arrangement that conforms to the audience's heart will make the audience feel comfortable to a certain extent.
Cry, there is nothing to be ashamed of, the cinema is so dark, just to make you not care about the eyes around you when you cry.
