Julian and Maurice - Cheap Kings and Honest Ministers

Humberto 2022-03-22 09:01:27

In the Madagascar film series, we often see such a scene: the protagonists are fleeing tragically, the penguins also contribute their wisdom and wretchedness, and even the monkeys, who have always been greedy and fearful, are also nervous. When I got up, there were two lemurs who were always able to survive in difficult conditions - Julian, the king of lemurs, and Maurice, his minister.

rulers and intellectuals

Maurice is the person with the strongest comprehensive ability in their group. He is knowledgeable, able to manage, has a good temper, and is of the right age. He can hold a young and nervous king upwards, and can make ignorant and kind subjects submit to him downwards.

Although he has the strength of a king but has no rebellious actions, is it because he is loyal? At least I didn't see it. Morris didn't think that their cheap king had any ability in his heart, although he would cooperate with his saucy appearance every time, but there were ridicules everywhere in his words: "There is an honorable king, the one you know. ——” “Please, the honorable king, Julian XIII, who calls himself the King of Guinea Pigs and so on—” His inaction is honesty rather than loyalty. Maurice, who was honest and friendly, silently raised a smile on his face, seeing that this was the sullenness of intellectuals.

Morris is the think tank. The lemurs in Horse 1 see their natural enemy Fushui being scared off by Eric the lion. Julian proposes to make good friends with Eric. The other monkeys also agreed. In the lively atmosphere of everyone cheering, Morris asked, "Have you ever wondered why Fushui is afraid of Eric the lion? Maybe we should be afraid of him too? Is he more terrible than Fushui?" The role of a wise man Just to guide people to think. The crowd was quiet, but it obviously swept Julian's face, so Julian was arrogant: "Morris, you didn't raise your hand to speak, so your comment should be deleted."

As for the neurotic Julian, although he looks very watery, he has all the qualities that a leader needs: concave shape, exaggeration (dancing when speaking and paying attention to other people's reactions), narcissism, and not modest. Julian is very good at being a leader. For example, when everyone in Horse 2 was instigated by him, he said, "Hurry up and act before they are conscious." As a leader, Julian is different from the Penguin Boss, the Penguin Boss. He has real strength and is maverick and cute on the principle of not sticking to anything that has nothing to do with his interests, while the cheap king has no real ability and wants to rule the world, but he just enjoys being respected. It will enslave the subordinates and instead implement the policy of happy rule. It is hard to say which of the two is better.

In short, the king is good at driving everyone to live in the moment. No matter how bad the environment is, he will always say: "Who wants cookies now?" Wise people will always hope that we will be vigilant and not presumptuous. The two always despise each other: one is arrogant and the other is stupid and arrogant, but with a good balance, it can also go straight on the ground, just like Morris and Julian, full of CP.

Because I like Julian better, I will say a few more words about him next.

narcissism

Taking advantage of the technology of the penguin and the kindness and tolerance of the Lion Justice Four, he boarded the plane with Morris, but occupied the first class cabin without any self-awareness. He also shouted: "Can you please come over there? gone?" (convinced)

Madman attribute

During the plane crash and free fall, the other people were so panicked that they grabbed the handrail tightly, and he went crazy there: "Ahahaha-ahhaha Maurice! It's more fun to raise your hand! Ahahahaha ——" Seeing this, I couldn't help laughing and scolding next to the screen, "This ****!" Every time I was made to laugh and get angry, but after laughing, I liked him more, after all, not everyone has the confidence to live madly.

About Ma 2

I don’t know if you have noticed a point in Ma 2: the water source of the animal sanctuary is depleted, and the rabble is helpless and messy. The plot began to divide into two groups - the lion justice group advocated to take a look at the dam upstream of the river, and Julian encouraged everyone to put sacrifices into the volcano to please the gods.

But the sacrifice was not as smooth as he had hoped, because the original sacrifice, the giraffe, was gone. Julian complained to Morris: "I don't understand why the tribute doesn't work, the scientific principle is very clear." Later, a shark accidentally jumped into the volcano, and at this time, the protagonist group of lions and penguins just broke the dam of the upstream reservoir—— The water from the reservoir is starting to flow into the reserve! After seeing the water, Julian thought it was the shark's fault, and exclaimed excitedly, "I did it!"

I was shocked when I saw this. I thought this movie was just a political sideline, but it still has depth: the real science can still be hidden and renamed after all, and those who don't believe can still use the original set Live well. It's really ironic, and very helpless.

Madagascar movies are really political. It's just a group of animals playing the story of human society. No matter what Yuan Fang thinks, anyway, my heart sank after laughing.
