Sorrow of too much joy

"Happy Feet" was a film several years ago. I even watched the beginning on a long-distance bus. I always thought it was an old-fashioned American self-actualization of a light-hearted song and dance film. After that, I copied it to my classmates and kept it casually. I didn't want to be surprised if I turned it over today, and I couldn't help but feel the pain.

The film tries to discuss too many topics, from self-realization to ecological balance, and even what role humans should play in protecting species diversity. I didn't break my tears when I jumped off the cliff and rushed to the human world from my big feet. I think of the blood of "Dolphin Bay", of the shocking list of endangered and extinct creatures on "National Geographic", and of "Assassin Biography" by Uncle Sima. How can the director attempt to discuss such a grand issue through such a simple channel? Too-simple idealism can cause a deeper sorrow than the pessimism born from the penetration of the dark, and it is more painful than the assassins described by Sima Qian. The assassins' mantle-arm gear is only a competition between a single species, and there are winners under excellent planning. But does it make sense for a real praying mantis to block a car? How can human greed be resolved? Can a certain species not become extinct but only rely on the mercy of the so-called smartest and highest species?

The relaxed narrative under this grand issue is really comparable to the "unbearable lightness of life". In a field that humans cannot control and cannot fully understand, the director uses a talented dance to symbolize a creature as "happiness." This seems to be born "happy" creature to carry so many pains that adults can't bear, and it is not cruel to let him save the race like a rebirth from the fire? As a bystander, seeing Bigfoot as an abandoned black sheep leaving his hometown, and wanting to speak coldly to his favorite person, he resolutely went to the danger alone, and was imprisoned like a lion, by the most idealistic Isn’t this not enough to be an adult? It's the Aragorn of "Lord of the Rings". Then it’s good to take the adult route. "South Park" is quite sturdy, but the most funny thing is that the director has to add snake feet. American heroism is coming out of the rivers and lakes. Animals live in harmony, and penguins dance to entertain humans. I finally broke down completely. . . . . . . . . . . . . Lei Cheng Coke I silently looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle.

As a result, I had to say a few words about the review system of the General Administration of China. The innocent and no longer innocent romance like "Zhiming and Chunjiao" can be positioned as a third-level film because of a few jokes of """"" (by river crab), and the Mandarin dubbing is completely reinterpreted. , And "Happy Feet" can be promoted to young audiences as a cheerful cartoon. Although adolescents are precocious and full of intelligence, as Mitchell End said when receiving an award, there are no topics that children cannot understand. The insights of their clear eyes are often beyond the fish that we have soaked in the world. As expected. But at the same time, this makes me wonder, when they use their fragile and inexperienced intelligence to understand the world, how should their soft hearts receive this too heavy information? If I assume that they can understand vaguely, what can we tell them through such a narrative? Humans save the planet, save endangered species? Cultivate an American style of overpowering optimism? Penguins can be saved by trying to attract people's attention, so should those species that fail to attract human attention live out?

This film cannot be said to be good, it can only be said to be painful enough. An excellent animation film must not have too many topics, and the tail can't get off. The problem that can't be solved by a few books in such a short period of time can only be a simple form of facial makeup, four stars to the cute penguin. I saw Popo being locked up in the aquarium for people to see and hop for fun. He kept trying to communicate and asked "Why are you taking our fish?" until his voice became hoarse. He finally numbly looked up with the penguins and opened his mouth and waited. Throwing fish to feed on the fake iceberg, he hit the glass wall needlessly, and he fantasized about seeing his relatives... It was painful, unbearable, heartbroken and sad to retell it. It can only be said that the director is too Roald Dahl, which is not conducive to physical and mental health.
