The three themes of The Incredibles 2

(Continue to belong to the series of short reviews accidentally written over)

Among the three themes, the theme about family has the highest degree of completion, echoing the current upsurge in feminism, reminding the world that the contribution made by housewives to the family and society is underestimated. The impulse to value and dream, on the other hand, is exhausted by the naughty, education and adolescent rebellion of the bear children. It is estimated that most female audiences feel the same way. Men may also express their gratitude and admiration to their other half after watching it. love.

The other two topics I think have only scratched the surface and have full potential to continue to dig deeper:

One is to use the concept expressed by "screen master" to satirize the impact of the overwhelming electronic information flow in today's society on the public: in the face of massive information flow, the public has no ability to distinguish good from bad, and they indiscriminately tend to sensory stimulation. and emotionally controlled programs and videos, on the one hand, it is a waste of one's own time and life to receive spam (in fact, this aspect is secondary, after all, one of the purposes of entertainment programs and games is to use the least social cost. to consume most of the excess energy of the public); on the other hand, the media has become a tool for some people to control public sentiment, whether those people are advertisers, merchandising, state machines, politicians, or xx groups with bad intentions. Just like in the film, when the public put on glasses and looked at the black mirror, the incompetent masses were hypnotized to forget all their incapacity, while the slightly capable "supermen" were systematically assimilated into continuing maintenance. Desk advertises the screws that control the machine. Where the film is not perfect in this direction is that I don't understand at all, since "Screenmaster" opposes and discriminates against media marketing and control, how can it suddenly become the object she opposes itself, and how does she want to break this. What about controlling the machine? In reality, it may also be a difficult problem for the time being, not to mention the question of how the (regulatory) power itself is regulated in the next issue, the setting of regulatory standards will inevitably violate the larger issue of the boundary of freedom of speech, and The implementation of supervision itself is difficult.

The last one is the legality of the "superpower" that is now being discussed. In fact, the comics and movies of "Watchmen" are so good that it can be said to end the final issue of this superpower anime and movie. It can be said that it is a very realistic and rational result. I won't say much here, if you want to go deeper, please go to "Watchmen"!

Incredibles 2 quotes

  • Bob Parr: I used to know what's right, but I'm not sure anymore. I just... wanna be a good dad.

    Violet Parr: You're not good... you're super.

    [Bob starts snoring]

  • Screenslaver: Screenslaver interrupts this program for an important announcement. Don't bother watching the rest. Elastigirl doesn't save the day; she only postpones her defeat. And while she postpones her defeat, you eat chips and watch HER confront problems that you are too lazy to deal with. Superheroes are part of your brainless desire to replace true experience with simulation. You don't talk, you watch talk SHOWS. You don't play games, you watch game SHOWS. Travel, relationships, risk; every meaningful experience must be packaged and delivered to you to watch at a distance so that you can remain ever-sheltered, ever-passive, ever-ravenous consumers who can't bring themselves to rise from their couches, break a sweat, and participate in life. You want superheroes to protect you and make yourselves ever more powerless in the process; while you tell yourself you're being "looked after", that your interests are being served, and your rights are being upheld. So that the system can keep stealing from you, smiling at you all the while. Go ahead, send your supers to stop me. Grab your snacks, watch your screens, and see what happens. You are no longer in control. I am.
