"Brigsby Bear" never leaves "Brigsby Bear"
In a remote desert, James (Kyle Mooney) has a warm home and a loving father and mother. He knew the air outside the house was poisonous, so he had to wear an oxygen mask when going out. He spends most of his time at home watching videotapes of the TV series "Brisby Bears" he ordered, except for the occasional lap of the house at night with a mask on. In my spare time, I also go online to discuss the show with other fans.
(spoiler)
Unexpectedly, there were unforeseen circumstances. One night, a few policemen came and put his parents in handcuffs. They were all taken to the police station. Only then did he know that he was a kidnapped baby. The "Brisby Bear" was created by his parents who kidnapped him to accompany him, and those so-called fans were also written by them on the closed network at home. Now he is sent back to his biological parents, Greg (Matt Walsh) and Louise (Michaela Watkins). It's a brand new home, to be sure, with different parents, a completely different environment, and no "Brisby Bears."
It's not that his own biological parents haven't worked hard, but it seems that he can't work hard. The most important information in James' mind is the bear. In order to miss his past, he asked for the big bear head and several props from the police, ready to shoot a "Brisby Bear" movie, with the support and help of new friends. down, and started shooting. Then put it on the Internet, and there is a little reputation in the local area.
Fitting into the new family wasn't easy for James. He also always misses the companions who accompanied him from childhood to youth. In the end, his parents understood him and helped him make this film, which made his wish come true. He also found the original dad to record the opening remarks of the film.
In the end, the film was released successfully, but James, who was too nervous, only dared to hide outside the door.
In the past, a person lived in one place all his life, or in his own hometown for generations to come. They are either relatives or friends in the village, and they can say hello wherever they go. In today's society, almost everyone will encounter a similar situation, that is, entering a new and unfamiliar environment, whether from the countryside to the city, or from China to a foreign country. Everything needs to be overhauled. Habits, friends, and even languages are new. It takes a long time to join the society. Finding accommodation, finding a job, or learning a foreign language takes time. Some TV dramas are stories of small places going to Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou to work hard. There are immigrant stories right here in the US (see my blog posts " Our Common Brooklyn" and " Our Common Brooklyn "). There are also countless refugees who immigrated to Europe from African and Arab countries. Humanity itself is a constantly migrating creature, which makes the world have human footprints. There are also attempts to conquer the moon, Mars and more.
James is lucky enough to have a supportive family in his new environment. Although a little rusty at first, his new (and old) parents joined him in the filming themselves, understanding each other's nostalgia for the past.
The couple kidnapped him just to have a child, so there was no particular malice. They used all kinds of tricks to keep him at home, but they still nurtured and educated him, so he didn't hate them either.
