I don’t like "Dream Quest"

My favorite clay animation "Mary and Marx" tells me how to make friends. It is to get to know each other, keep in touch with each other over a long road, give each other delicious chocolate, and not change each other, even if he is one Autistic, even if he is an obese patient, even if he looks so ridiculous.

My second favorite cartoon "Robot Story" tells me that love can be produced even among cold machines. When Walli cries out Eva greasyly, my heart will melt.

My third favorite animation "Flying House Tour" tells me that even if the original dream of two people in love is not realized while alive, it will become a kind of strength in the end, even if they are too old to be straight. Ya, I am also willing to take your soul to fly over the mountain and find the home of dreams.

After watching "Dream Travels", I couldn't be moved at all. All my thoughts were led by the cowboy who was turned into ashes in the cartoon. He was dying in a hammock wearing a shabby cowboy hat, and disappeared after listening to a song. . It's so fucking disgusting, a living person, who can't get love in the real world, goes to the underworld, because no one remembers him, he can't exist, and he turns to ashes. I cried. It is not to be moved, but to hate the worldview constructed by the screenwriter.

How many people have lost their homes in this world, and some of them will pin their hopes on death. They comforted themselves, waiting until they die and go to another world, maybe everything will be different, maybe on the other side of the flower, everything can start all over again. How many people live in this world and have suffered all their grievances and justice cannot be done. They cowardly and unwillingly say that I will not let you go by being a ghost. But what does this cartoon tell us? The unlucky person in the real world is also an unlucky person if you are a ghost. You have no sense of existence in the sun, and you don't have any when you are in the underworld. You can't do anything in the world of the sun, and still can't do anything in the world of the world.

"Looking for a Dream" tells a warm story, but it can't bring me a trace of warmth.

The screenwriter constructed such a worldview of life and death. After death, people will go to another world and live there. However, their survival depends on the miss of people in the real world. When no one remembers you in the real world, then you will eventually become nothing in another world.

Miguel was born in a shoe-making family. His ancestors made a fortune by making shoes. All descendants can only inherit the family business, and they are never allowed to touch music. In the family's tablet dedicated to the ancestors, in the photos of the ancestors, the corner of the husband's face was torn off. He is a heartbroken man who betrayed his family for music. He is not to be sacrificed.

Miguel loves music. By chance, he came to the world of the underworld. He met a fallen ghost. He was about to be forgotten by the people in the underworld, and he was about to turn to ashes. He hoped that MiG could return to Yangjian with his photos. This was his only hope. For his music dream, MiG had to be blessed by the great-great-grandfather of the highly anticipated musician. In the end, he realized that the desolate ghost was his great-great-grandfather and that the highly-anticipated musician was the murderer of the great-great-grandfather. He stole the fame that originally belonged to his great-great-grandfather.

In order to prevent his great-great-grandfather from disappearing, Miguel was willing to give up his dream of music and return home, playing piano and singing to the only great-grandmother who remembered his great-great-grandfather. This reminded the great-grandmother with dementia of her father and took out photos.

A happy ending. MiG's family finally agreed to MiG's music dream.

I don't know what this movie is about. If it is about dreams, then dreams will eventually be lost to family. In order for his great-great-grandfather to survive in the underworld, Miguel is willing to give up his dream of music. This plot made me very familiar. I remembered what the grown-up children want to do in some families around me. My parents strongly opposed it, and the children were rebellious against their parents. In the end, the deadliest weapon that parents picked up was "I'm going to die, I can't do it anymore." Some really fainted to show you, can children ignore their parents? Regardless of the bastard, so the child comes back and the dream is gone, parents, you just need to live well.

I'm not saying that family love should give way to dreams, but that these two things shouldn't be in a causal relationship.

In the real world, if a person has to give up his dreams for the sake of his family, that is a very sad thing. Such tragedies are not uncommon. For example, some parents feel that painting and singing are not serious jobs, forcing their children to give up their dreams and follow the steps of others to lead a so-called stable life. For example, some parents do not want their children to leave themselves, and use family affection to bind their children and prevent them from leaving their hometowns. In our generation, how many people have been kidnapped by family members, who have always wanted to get rid of but are hard to get rid of, falling into the pain of a lifetime. The cartoon even portrayed this as a warm, tear-jerking picture of family relationships. This is in line with the concept of Chinese parents, and family affection is greater than heaven. I think this is probably the most favorite plot of parents and aunts who want to control their children. Those who still desire to kidnap people with family love especially like this plot.

If this movie talks about life and death view, then this view of life and death is simply scarier than Infernal Affairs.

MiG's great-great-grandfather was an unknown musician in the real world and was killed by a friend. After his friend stole his work, he became a famous musician and was sought after by many people. Later, he also died. There was no way when they were alive. Both of them went to the underworld. One was a murderer, a liar, and the other was a really talented musician. There should be a clear ending. As a result, the real musician was not remembered as a lonely ghost in the underworld, and the bastard was remembered by many people after his death, so he was also a hot musician in the underworld, and the battle was similar to that of the head of state.

What does this show? It shows that the world after death is the same as the real world. Some filth in the real world is in the underworld, and some deceit in the real world is more prosperous in the underworld. You look down on the concert in the world, and you still look down on it when you reach the world. Tickets are still required for concerts in the underworld, and only nobles are eligible to enter.

There is a more terrifying thing, in the sun, people who are not looked down upon, and those who do not have a sense of existence can still survive and escape from the world. In the underworld, if it is not remembered, it will eventually become nothing, nothing, not even ashes left. This is to tell us that only the big family that built the ancestral hall can enjoy the longevity in the underworld. You must reproduce the offspring and continue the incense from generation to generation, so that you can survive in the underworld.

Those gays, people who live alone, DINKs, sorry, you are dead if you die, no one remembers you in the world, no one places memorials for you, enshrines photos, and when you get to the world, you can only be like that down-and-out cowboy The same, was classified into a desolate area that was dilapidated, unable to eat or drink and wait to turn into ashes.

No one wants to be forgotten. But is it his fault to be forgotten?

The real world is cruel enough. We often see that some people have no sense of existence in a group, that some people suffer from collective cold violence, are isolated, and that some people find nothing in their lives. Love, seeing that some people cannot have children of their own, and seeing some people who cannot get the world's understanding because of being in love with the same sex. They are already suffering enough, can't they be relieved after death? When you arrive in another world, you will be humiliated, even if you don’t even have room to endure the humiliation?

Why set up such a cruel view of life and death?

If you have ever been to a cemetery, as long as you observe carefully, you can easily distinguish which deceased are often worshipped and which may have been forgotten. Some tombstones are surrounded by flowers and meals, incense burners, and wine glasses. Although it has gone through some wind and frost, it can be seen that those things were put on within a year. The dust on some tombstones is very thick, spider webs are clustered, and the plastic artificial flowers inserted in the flower-arranging holes of the tombstones are dilapidated. Clean up. Whenever I go to the cemetery at a funeral and see the dilapidated tombstones interspersed with the carefully lit tombstones, I wonder, are the families of these deceased still there?

Looking at the tombstones of my grandparents and grandpas, I know that one day their tombstones will become like that, and no one will come to worship and clean them.

If there is really another world, will they be reduced to ashes at that time? I don't want that. Since we can make up an underworld, why not let the deceased have fun there, why should it be so tired, so cold and so desperate.

A friend once told me that he likes cartoons not because he is immature, but because he has already seen enough of the real world. In cartoons, human arms can rotate 360 ​​degrees, humans can jump infinitely high, they can get rid of gravity, they can go to alien planets, and they can talk to animals. As long as the imagination is enough, all the things that cannot be done in this world are in the cartoons. It will be all right. Cartoons give people hope in this boundless world, a small candlelight, a beautiful illusion. Forget the pain for a while, the sweetness of a piece of toffee.

No one would accuse Mary and Marx of throwing chocolates and toys directly into the mailbox and mailing them to each other in "Mary and Marx." The impossibility of the real world, in the cartoon, we allow it and even expect it to be possible.

No one will criticize the fact that the house tied up with balloons by the grandfather in "Flying House" can fly. We have long been disgusted with the reinforced concrete in the real world. We hope that the balloon can fly with the house, and the balloon is best. Never broken.

If people can really go to another world after death. Science has told us that it is impossible, but in cartoons, it is possible. If there is such a world, how do we hope to exist? Is it still dependent on the missing of the living? Does it have to be divided into high and low?

Born to be a human being, living a hard life, and being a ghost, why not enjoy a beautiful world freely and chicly.
