Adult stories that children can understand

It is often said that mainstream Hollywood movies are made for American teenagers whose hormones are soaring. Little does not know that most American adults are far from saying goodbye to the confusion between dreams and reality during adolescence.

Dreams are locked in reality, dignity is lost under the weight of power, and the old "wild beast" still scratches the never-old arrogant soul in my heart. If you are wearing human skin, this impulse can be stabilized by mortgages, travel, and Porsches. But if you have splendid Firefox fur in your pores, fangs in your mouth, and better IQ than the average American, your fox tail will always be exposed.

"Mr. Fox of NB", produced by Fox in the 20th century, talks about "the ferocious beast" that cannot be smoothed by the burden of life. It arrogantly left the world on the dream ice field, regardless of the risk or cost. It has to prove to the world that your life is not a dust in the torrent of world history. You have to prove to the world that you are the least to be underestimated. , Be despised, the most outstanding, talented, most NB genius, politician, entrepreneur, guitarist, talk show host, columnist, chef, scientist, engineer, doctor, or artist.

Mr. NB Fox has to prove to the world that he is the most NB chicken thief.

Simple truth: where you live reveals things related to your dreams-if you live in Hollywood, your dreams are related to movies, if you live in Silicon Valley, it is related to the information industry, if you live in Dongguan, or Dubai , I suggest you change your dream.

NB's Fox ignored his wife's promise and friend's suggestion, he moved to a place where he could realize his great dream-the chicken farm.

The coincidence of the story is here. There are meat processing plants and fruit wineries next to the chicken farm. The three factory owners also happen to be ugly, gluttonous, and low-taste adults, representing everything that is contrary to dreams.

When dreams and arrogance grow interdependently, there will be dangers. Adults will give a powerful uppercut to the dreamer at any time. Because of the tempering of adults in reality, they become cruel and excellent executioners. In the fight against dreams in reality, NB's Fox discovered that the most important ally:

—— is his wife.

The role of the wife is to act as a quality inspector for the material life of future generations. If the next generation of Fox does not have a safe, harmonious, and prosperous living environment, the wife will either refuse to reproduce the next generation, or talk about conditions with tears in her eyes.

But the wives in the world often overlook one point: whether it is for the next generation or for themselves, a life without "risk" in a greenhouse is a life trajectory that lacks life value and is guaranteed to be despised and forgotten.

NB's Fox certainly can't persuade his wives with this reason, because their wives never make sense.

Wives talk about feelings. Tell the truth.

The true feelings of males can only be revealed after setbacks (this is actually a boon for the majority of men who have no material success), and it also makes the wife happy to find that his man is willing to show himself his fragility and real side. This man, who is a man among men from skill to eloquence, is willing to admit that his shortcoming is that he must be NB.

Because of this, when NB's Fox is going to take the biggest risk, this is originally in the "reality" camp. In the middle, the wife who insists on stability and material civilization is the first to stretch out her supporting hands.

What happened afterwards is that NB is constantly upgrading. If you are a child, watching this movie will become the most important historical event of your childhood. Just like the first time I watched the "Lena Fox" made in China, a wise, confident, and unafraid family man who is not afraid of power and danger is still fresh in my memory.

Wes Anderson finally ended the historical stage of shooting children's movies only for adults, and gave children a chance to let them understand the confusion of adults. Of course, in terms of artistic means, the director really changes the soup without changing the medicine, the jealousy between brothers, the fight for girlfriend and father’s love, the love between husband and wife and the lies of the husband, and the protagonist’s self-righteousness from reality are all from Bottle Rocket. , Rushmore, Royal Tenembaum, Life Aquatic, Darjeeling Ltd, recurring.

If I can predict it, Wes Anderson's movies will always be about a group of obviously flawed, but very naive and lovely people who rediscover their love for each other.

If you have children, you should take them to see them. Including the child in your heart.
