Teddy bear film series, two films have been made. The first film was released in 2012 and the second film was released in 2015. I don’t know if there is a third one.
The themes discussed in the two films are different, but the essence of the reflection is the same: a lifetime partner of Lei Lei.
Every child, in their lonely childhood, imagined that their plush toys could speak, and become a lifelong good friend with themselves. So the director fulfilled everyone’s childhood wish: Jonny’s plush toy Ted, inspired by his Christmas wish, became a talking teddy bear and accompanied Jonny. Eat together, sleep together, play together, and communicate together.
In this way, Johnny and Ted formed the strongest buddy group in the world—thunder buddy for life: every night when thunder and rain, the two of them have to sing their original Thunder buddy in bed. The song of thunder, fight thunder together.
As Johnny grows up, the exchanges between Ted and Johnny are also in the "Fuck" and "Shit" verses. They are concerned about starting a family in the adult world, looking for a partner, getting married, having children, and so on. The problems that have to be faced are discussed in depth.
Ted is the partner who grew up with you. You are one year older, and he is also one year older. Your mental maturity will always be highly synchronized. In addition to the appearance of the stuffed toy when he first saw it in childhood, Ted is a teddy bear with independent thinking and mature consciousness. The relationship between him and Johnny has also undergone subtle changes after the two adults became adults.
The first part of "Teddy Bear" tells that after Johnny had a girlfriend, Ted looked like a teddy bear in the way between Johnny and his girlfriend, so Johnny could no longer be with him as he did when he was a child. Ted ate and slept together: Imagine that on a thunderstorm night, Ted jumped on the bed, lay between Johnny and his girlfriend, and sang the song of thunder and thunder with Johnny. Which woman could stand it.
This is actually a coat of stuffed toy, about how adults deal with the issue of small relationships when they start a family.
Compared with the first one, I prefer the second story. After Ted got married, he wanted to adopt a child, but the court ruled that he was just a teddy bear and had no human rights. So Ted lost his job, couldn't adopt a child, and the marriage was ruled invalid. After the divorce, Johnny supported Ted as the strongest friend, and along the way to fight for Ted, Ted continued to bring Johnny and the female lawyer Dobby to develop a second relationship.
In the second part, the relationship between Johnny and Ted is more mature and coordinated than in the first part. The two have fully adapted to how they can support each other and live together as friends. Compared to Lori, Johnny's girlfriend in the first part, I prefer the tease that Johnny met in the second part than the female lawyer Samantha. Funny than a female lawyer, obviously more in line with Johnny and Ted's cock aura than the white-collar lady Lori. When Johnny and Samantha are together, they will be happier, because after having Ted, the Thunder and Thunder partner of his life, Johnny has another Thunder and Thunder partner with matching temperament.
In the second and first parts of the movie, there is a perverted character, Downey: Because he wanted to have a talking teddy bear as a child, he couldn't, so he tried every means to get Ted. The appearance of Downey in the movie made the entire "Teddy Bear" film more adult and focused on taste. In the two "Teddy Bears" movies, the director used a talking teddy bear to construct an absurd background; and the director created an absurd scene in his own hands, reflecting American modern society, popular culture, and family conflicts everywhere. Social issues... The relationship between Johnny, Ted, Downey and their relationship is full of the companionship of the adult world, quarrels, contradictions, possessions, jealousy and other passions. The conversation between Johnny and Ted can see the penetration of American popular culture everywhere, and the ridicule of the degeneration, drug abuse, drunkenness and death in the current American society. Justin Bieber has been quoted twice.
The only thing that is not too special in the film is that Johnny and Ted insist on being heterosexual from beginning to end. The two expect to form a traditional family of monogamy and raising a baby. If one day Ted finds out that he is gay, not only can he bend or straight, but he can also have a toy love with plush toys. It would be even more awesome to tease the various sexual orientations of American society in the movie. .
Winnie the Pooh tells the story of soft toys accompanied by healing, but the teddy bear completely broke the warmth and healing of soft toys in childhood. Although Ted is full of swear words, don't you think Ted is as healing and warm? Ted has always been with Johnny, sticking to their childhood promise of being Lei Lei partners for a lifetime. Ted and Johnny also quarrel. In the first movie, Johnny couldn’t help but yelled at Ted because Johnny couldn’t handle the relationship between Ted and his girlfriend Loli, regretting that he made Ted a club. Talking teddy bear. With an expression of wounded and angry expression, Ted fought with Johnny. After the fight, the two fell to the ground again and said to each other: "I love you". This is how adults deal with feelings.
When you grow up, Winnie the Pooh is still as naive and silly as a child, and loves honey. You find in Pooh the warmth that you have missed in your childhood. But Ted’s worldview opened up a new world as Johnny grew up: smoking and drinking, hanging hot girls and watching porn... Enjoy the fun that can only be enjoyed in the adult world. Growing up with Johnny, and always standing on the same ideological front with Johnny, is the way Ted keeps him and Johnny's lifelong friends.
Therefore, the proposition of the movie "Teddy Bear" is: Do you like watching stuffed toys grow up with you?
