The collapse of idealism

The expectations for the How to Train Your Dragon series are still amazing from the first part.

A lanky boy from the mighty Viking tribe, the legendary extinct dragon king, met by chance.

One has a broken leg, the other has a broken tail, one person and one dragon are also broken, but when combined together, they are fierce, and they achieve each other and achieve completeness. Some young people with low self-esteem rekindled their longing for the future, and the lonely dragon king who could not fly was able to roam the sky again.

Through getting along with dragons, the teenager found that dragons are not the tyrannical nature in traditional cognition, but can be tamed in many ways, so the teenager dreamed of breaking the tradition of dragon slaughter and changing the relationship between the tribe and the dragon, from fear to familiarity, from hostility To domestication, how idealistic, how passionate youth.

The first part went round and round to reach a reconciliation, the second part was lively and peaceful coexistence, and in the third part, it was a miserable return to the wild. The idealism was finally shattered, the young man finally became an uncle, the dragon king returned to the dragon family, and the chief returned to the tribe.

For the third part, basically two words can be summed up: disappointment.

Plot: So embarrassing...

Suddenly, I went to rob the dragon, but there was no plan to protect the dragon. The Boke Island was full of dragons, and it became the target of the dragon hunters. I suddenly decided to move the family, suddenly decided to settle down, and then suddenly decided that the whole family released the dragon. Why do you keep responding, why is the chief so easy to be? ? ?

It's still better for Toothless to fall in love... The black and white double sha (bushi) dance in the air, and the fireworks can also disappear like magic, how cool.

The male protagonist wanted to find a hidden place to hide and let the tribe and the dragon live in harmony. It was enough to shrink back, but what was especially incomprehensible was that after the male protagonist went to the edge of the world and was blasted out by the dragon, he never tried anything again. A way to establish a connection, the great plan of harmonious coexistence between people and dragons that has been working hard for many years is then shelved forever. ? ? ? Boss, can you try harder? It's so easy to give up, is it foolish to be urged to marry?

Picture: hard to surpass...

Toothless is still trying to be cute, but more and more like a dog...

The vision at the end of the world is still very beautiful and shocking. However, the beautiful fairyland in many animated films are similar in appearance, and the fluorescent color of Yishui’er will still cause aesthetic fatigue...

The picture of Long Feixiang is still quite dazzling, but watching two dragons fall in love affectionately, a single dog can easily become a lemon essence...

Kernel: The loneliness of growing up...

If the first part is a wonderful beginning, many story lines point to youth, growth and ideals.

Then the third part is an ending that has to be completed, always with a lonely and dark color.

The weak boy encountered the magical dragon, experienced the hero's journey, realized his ideal, achieved the highlight moment, and became a legend.

Then what?

Ideals will always be shattered, people always have to face reality and return to their own lives. Legends will eventually return to plainness, and heroes will eventually become mortals. In such a life, there are wives, children, clansmen, and responsibilities, but there are no dragons.

The end of the movie makes people feel emotional, the mature chief takes his children to see the dragon. Tell the children, don't be afraid, the dragon is his father's friend, the friendship between people and dragons is touching, and the family heritage is touching.

However, other dragons still won't approach, and other people will still slay dragons, has the world changed?

The How to Train Your Dragon series tells us that a legendary story can make people yearn for it, but it can't bring about actual change.

Will the world really change?

Idealism, will it ever be shattered?
