Fourteen years ago, in 2004, there was no Marvel dominating the big screen, no DC universe, only Sony's live-action version of Spider-Man was released, and superhero movies didn't even become a genre movie.

Pixar had already built a family of superpowers at that time. In "The Incredibles 1", Mr. Super's family was hidden among ordinary people.

The husband suffered a mid-life crisis, and the wife was worried about her husband's derailment. The villain in the film also questioned the owner of the superpower for the first time.

Pixar has always explored story thinking, which is more profound than many other films of the same type. Even today, looking back on "The Incredibles 1" 14 years ago, the topic and depth of the story are very creative.

In 14 years, the Marvel Universe will enter the 4.0 era, the DC Universe Justice League has also assembled, and the R-rated Deadpool sequel has also been released.

Finally, "The Incredibles 2" is long overdue. As the saying goes, it is produced by Pixar and must be a boutique.

When Da Cong watched Pixar animations, he always felt a sense of solidity in his heart. As long as it was a Pixar movie, he could put 120 hearts into the movie and enjoy it.

——Slightly drunk spoilers will not affect viewing——

Of course, the explosion depends on luck. For example, the previous "Dream Hunter" swept the world. Although this time, "The Incredibles 2" did not have such an explosion after watching it, but the animation quality is well deserved.

If you are familiar with Pixar's so-called routine, you will understand that no matter how creative the outerwear of Pixar's work is, its core is the pursuit of family love.

For example, Toy Story is about friendship and growth.

Monsters, Inc. is about father-daughter love.

Finding Nemo is about a parent's love for their child to let go.

Inside Out is about the importance of family companionship.

"Dream-hunting Travel Notes" is the interpretation of the family's love to the extreme.

The same is true of "The Incredibles 2". It is not a superhero movie in the traditional sense. Although the main line of the film still defeats the villain, the sub-line shows Pixar's ambition to return to nuclear family love.

Following in the footsteps of the times, "The Incredibles 2" allows women to perform tasks independently, and turns their husbands into full-time family masters. It is indeed a physical and mental test for a husband who was already caught in a mid-life crisis.

Although Mr. Chao Neng is proud of his wife, there is a flame in his heart that he wants to prove his strength. Men have a natural desire in society, that is, they want to prove themselves in society, which also leads men to always think that at home Being a full-time wife is easy.

This is well explained in the film. When Supergirl has to go out to do tasks, Mr. Super easily said that he can take care of everything at home.

But family chores are actually not as simple as you think, especially when there are three super-powered children.

The three super-powerful children represent the most difficult stages of serving the three children.

My sister was in a period of emotional confusion in her youth, and many secrets began to be hidden in her heart and did not want to be shared. Her invisibility ability just insinuated her mind and wanted to be invisible.

Mr. Super Neng arranged a special meeting for his daughter with the boy he liked in the way he thought was right, but it ended up being extremely embarrassing.

Sometimes parents' excessive concern for their children may be self-defeating and turn a blind eye at the right time. Perhaps the children themselves can find a better way of dealing with others.

The younger brother is at the age of knowledge absorption and physical development, so he will become a hundred thousand why, and will become a little boy with excess physical strength.

The younger brother has the super ability of super running, which also reflects the inner world of children of this age in society.

Mr. Super Neng wants to grow and learn together with the child, which is the best companion for the child.

Little baby Jiejie, he is full of unknowns in this world, so he is also full of unknown superpowers.

Jiejie's superpowers, in reality, just reflect the various troubles parents have to deal with children, which are no less than the unknown superpowers brought by Jiejie in the film.

As for Elastic Supergirl, although she went out to do tasks, she was the first to find her mother in the process of doing the tasks, which shows that the status of mothers in the family is still unshakable and precious.

Moreover, the first call Supergirl called home after finishing the task was to ask about the situation at home, explaining that as a mother, she would always be unable to let go of the ties to her children.

Therefore, Pixar has always used its various unconventional ideas to put on a warm and touching family core, so that the audience will gain some thoughts while entertaining.

The short animation "Bun" at the beginning of the film also caters to the extension of the family concept.

In the story of "Bun", perhaps we are more likely to be involved in the play than the crooked nuts. The traditional Chinese family concept and excessive protection of children have unknowingly created a gap between the two generations.

In addition to these family thoughts hidden behind the film, the whole "Incredibles 2" is not inferior to the same type of superhero films in terms of action scenes.

The film perfectly showcases the superpowers of each character, especially the scene where the supergirl stops the train, which surprises the audience to see the correct way to open the superpower, which has a strong impact.

There is also Jiejie's super power, which almost breaks through the ability of any super power. Setting fire to Cyclops and turning into a small monster is just a small case. Entering the four-dimensional space is really refreshing.

Although the plot of the film is a bit old, Da Cong guessed who the villain is in more than ten minutes at the beginning, but when he guessed the ending, he got an unexpected surprise. The viewing experience is still worthy of recognition.

All in all, "The Incredibles 2" is suitable for the whole family to watch together, with joy, surprises, and touching.


Pay attention to the public account of "Da Cong Watching Movies", do not pursue the running volume, but only grind the fine products.
