The small table lamp that jumped out at the beginning made people look forward to this work. To be honest, the animation plot and creativity produced by Pixar are really good. The surprise is the name of director Shi Zhiyu, it is always exciting for Chinese directors to be recognized in Hollywood. A series of actions of Bao Baozi at the beginning of the film, coupled with festive music, and bright colors create a warm picture. Does it feel a little familiar? That's right, it's very similar to another Chinese director Ang Lee's "low profile" diet for men and women. As soon as the picture changed, the aunt who was cooking put two drawers of buns on the table. Old TV sets, photos on the wall, ceramic dolls, and calendars on the wall all have a strong Chinese style. At this time, the first interesting picture appeared - except for an old black and white photo and a group photo of the uncle and aunt when they were young, there is a little boy in each photo and even a little boy holding a football. Single photo. It is not difficult to see from the family portrait that the boy is the child of the uncle and aunt. The boy's photo appeared many times in the back of the film, but the boy's figure never appeared at home. Where did he go? what happened? We have no way of knowing, only that his face is round. With this question in mind, let's move on. The uncle's departure from work made the aunt extremely lonely. Just when she was going to eat the last bun in solitude, a miracle happened! The protagonist has appeared, and the buns have become fine! Turtle, this is an ordinary bun, this is clearly a ginseng bun! I don't know what Mr. Liu thinks about this plot. And the face of this "ginseng bag" is also round. Since then, there has been one more person in this family, Bao Bao. The rising line on the wall suggests that the child is growing. During this process, another interesting picture appeared. The signboard in the vegetable shop was very eye-catching. What is a video voucher? The answer that emerges is another product with Chinese characteristics - "food stamps", which were a must in Chinese families in the 1970s and 1980s. Of course, this is just an inference, but I prefer to believe that this is a hint of the director's time. Just like every growing child has experienced, Bao Bao also experienced a rebellious period, and the fuse is that he and his friends are playing football, pay attention to Bao Bao's playing clothes, red short sleeves. What is the clothes of the boy holding the soccer ball in the previous photo, and it turns out to be red short-sleeved, what is their relationship, and how can they taste so consistent? Did you read the same men's fashion magazine? The aunt tried to save this relationship through food, and the food was several times more abundant than the uncle and aunt could eat together. Perhaps Chinese-style family affection is inadvertently displayed in this way. But Bao Baobao didn't appreciate it and turned around and left, and this time the aunt was revengeful. She eats all the food in a very dark environment, which also reflects the grief and anger in the aunt's heart. And the fight didn't end there. Baozi broke out the conflict because of the separation of his girlfriend, and the film also entered a climax - the aunt ate Bao Baobao. Tears of remorse followed, eh? Why didn't it taste anything. Back to the topic of the book, there are actually several interesting scenes about the plot of eating steamed buns. Bao Baobao's eyes were left outside the door when he was pulling Zhongbao, and when Bao Baobao was eaten by the aunt, the door was open, and in a blink of an eye, the door was closed! It was closed inexplicably, it became weird for a while, and then the aunt turned into a doll? I'm sorry this is alma's plot. Why do you say this scene is interesting? Can you make an assumption that in the end, the aunt did not leave the "Baby Bao", and the eyes that stayed outside were actually Bao Baobao who left. And the door was closed when Bao Baobao left. The plot of eating steamed buns is just aunty's yy.

The answer is quietly revealed in the shadow in the final picture, even this bun really looks like a human being, no, people really look like a bun. In any case, at the end of the film, a family of four lived a happy life, which is exactly the life of a Chinese family. This is the end of a western fairy tale. nice, perfect, reunion.

Diss the director, Asians still have big-eyed puppets like me.
