The most tender Transformers ever and some detailed thoughts

Weston 2021-12-01 08:01:28

Let me tell you a story about the American version of the snail girl.

By the way, Charlie’s little sister is a solid girl with a good physique and a bright personality. She has been repairing cars and diving with her father since she was a child, and she was also a favorite little princess. But my father died of a heart attack, and his happy life was broken. Mother got a new love, and also gave her a little brother.

On this day, Charlie's eighteenth birthday, aggrievedly accepted a bunch of bad gifts at home. If you lose, you must gain. The owner of the car dealership gave her a surprise-a yellow beetle in good working order.

Charlie drove the beetle back home to study Zhengmei Zizi seriously, but when he saw a realistic robot face under the car, the robot's eyes would still emit blue light. After confirming their eyes, they met the right person. In view of the fact that this beetle robot will make a buzzing sound like a bumblebee when the mood swings of the beetle robot's tall yellow and yellow, let's call him "little fat yellow".

Next, just like all the stories of a handsome man with amnesia you found on the roadside, Fat Huang and Charlie’s relationship quickly heated up. They went for a ride together, walked along the beach, trained hiding skills, watched DVDs, remembered dad, listened to records, and met. New friends, let's vent their anger by smashing Bichi's car and hiding from the police. Charlie also cured Fat Huang's loss of voice. From then on, Xiao Fat Huang carried a radio with him, communicated with people through songs and radio, and became a man with his own bgm. It is important to mention here that Fat Huang's previous life should be a polar bear or an ostrich, and his concealment skills are very strange.

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, and Fat Huang's identity was still revealed by uninvited guests. It turned out that he was a general of the Neighboring Star Kingdom. In the civil war, the leader of the Fat Yellow Sect was unable to return to heaven, so he sent Fat Yellow to the earth to lead the battle. The organization was prepared to hide its strength on the earth and wait for a comeback. Unexpectedly, when Fat Huang arrived on Earth, his voice and memory were destroyed by an enemy general's choke. With the last trace of consciousness, it turned into a yellow beetle and came to Charlie.

The truth is revealed. With fear of unfamiliar species, the whole world persuaded her to leave her "bad friends", mother, stepfather, police, and military commander. However, at the critical moment, how could Charlie leave a fat yellow who is still in a state of amnesia and unable to protect himself? When Charlie arrived, Fat Huang had been beaten to the cold by the two enemy Decepticons camp robots. Charlie still didn't believe that Fat Huang died like this, and a burst of electric shock treatment actually resurrected him. Fat Huang regained the memory of the general, and when he saw someone bullying Charlie, he blushed and turned into a murderer. Charlie finally calmed the obsessive Fat Huang to regain his consciousness, but Fat Huang didn't want to be Charlie's ignorant little cutie anymore. He is a general. He wants to defend his home and the country and prevent the Decepticons from using the signal tower to transmit information to attract a large army to attack the earth.

The most exciting scene is here! ! ! [Okay, everyone go and see for yourself]

The dust settled and the crisis was lifted. The cute puppy, Fat Huang, is about to run for a more distant future. He changed from a Beetle to a cool Chevrolet and disappeared into the traffic under Charlie's gaze.

In fact, this is a story of meeting each other and knowing each other in a vast crowd of people. Simplified, the plot of the story is no different from the traditional folklore of the snail girl in China. Accidentally picking up a small car home, the small car becomes a friend, accompanied all the way, and mutual assistance accompanied by growing up, achieving goals, and going to their own future. Their life trajectories are staggered into a big X. But thinking about it, our life is not a process of getting closer and closer, and then drifting away after the trajectory touches.

————————————————————

1. About Person Setting

Compared to "Change 1" released in 2007, this one can be described as a prequel. The director Nike Master is very witty. He did not continue the more and more exhausting unnecessary fights in the Transformers series 3 4 5, and instead explored the awakening and growth of the first Transformer that fell to the earth before all this began. As the first robot known to us in the Transformers movie series, Bumblebee is the most intimate and lovely one. He was arrested by the military at every turn. After a period of severe torture, the military found out that the wrong person had been arrested, so he quickly released it. It's also very unlucky. But in a awake state, the Hornet has never harmed human beings even if it is threatened. It is very friendly and attracts fans. Compared with the earth-shaking man-machine battle at the beginning of "Change 1", the Hornet's Hornet at the beginning of this movie was really beaten badly, and it couldn't fight back. The contrast is very strong.

In this movie, the bumblebee sprouted up into the sky, blatantly trying to win fans among female audiences. The first close encounter in the movie, everyone was scared and the hair was blown up. Charlie originally thought that the robot was very aggressive, but the bumblebee with amnesia was more like a frightened little animal. The main defensive skills were to hug the knees and shrink the corner. The action is coherent in one go, and the strength cos "secretly observe" expression pack. Charlie kept a distance to observe him, and saw him turn on the puppy mode, his big blue confused eyes blinking and blinking, and the small inner pair of the same style of Samoyed and the slightly drooping eye tail seemed even more innocent. He squatted in the corner, obediently, and the two little yellow hairs on his head were very pitiful. But he is too big, this kind of contrast is terribly cute. He couldn't speak, and he didn't have any memory, with a hint of fear in his shyness. The indomitable 37-footer still needs the protection of Charlie's little sister, which really awakens the surging maternal love in the hearts of countless girls in the audience. As it had no memory, Charlie gave him a new name-Bumblebee.

2. About the name

Charlie was so heart-warming when he called out Bumblebee. In French, Charlie's act of naming the bumblebee is called "Je te baptise", which not only means naming him, but also refers to baptizing a baby in religion, which implies a new birth. The robot that has lost its memory wakes up like a cracked chicken, and Charlie is naturally his mother at first sight. Under Charlie's care, he changed from the robot B-127 to a flesh and blood life-Bumblebee, a unique existence. Thinking of the yellow Chevrolet Bumblebee, the real big brother who held the audience as soon as he appeared in "Change 1", the Beetle Bumblebee in this film is more like a child. From ignorance and ignorance to being slaughtered by others, to becoming a predator, Charlie grew up with him all the way. The existence of Bumblebee also made the heroine Charlie a better person.

Three. Heroine's relationship line

Although the fighting scenes in this play are bursting, the warmth is even more moving. There are two lines of warmth, one is the main line, which focuses on the emotional training of Bumblebee and Charlie and the memory of his father, and talks about the present and the past. The other is the attached line. The relationship between the new family and Charlie reorganized for the mother is gradually unfrozen, and it is about the present and the future.

The death of his father not only left Charlie with permanent wounds, but also left a poorly repaired car and resistance to diving. The three members of her mother's new home are full of fun, and Charlie is sad in her eyes, but feels that she has been excluded from life. Even for my 18th birthday, the gifts my mother and stepfather gave were very unconcerned. Mom gave me a pink helmet decorated with a small flower and a Barbie doll, and my stepfather simply gave me chicken soup and cheated her to change her life with a smile. Charlie and his new family are in harmony on the surface, avoiding talking about his father, and there is a hurdle in his heart. She didn't want to look back at the disc recorded by her father, she didn't want to dive, crying helplessly while repairing her father's car, and missing her father alone.

Bumblebee is a friend and confidant, and she can chat with Bumblebee about her father. This small garage has become Charlie's safe haven. When Bumblebee accidentally ruined the house, my mother ran away and asked Charlie why he couldn't try to stay happy like everyone else. Charlie responded stiffly that it was your happiness. You can forget your father and go forward. I can't. I won't forget father.

From the perspective of the protagonist, we are naturally not angry with the heroine. At the end of the story, we have a big change, and the change of opinion is natural, stemming from a family battle. The military police sent out all-out efforts to encircle and suppress the Hornet, Charlie drove the Hornet alone and ran wildly. The stepfather brought his mother and younger brother to come, before he had time to exchange a few words, the stepfather resolutely stood in line and risked his life to take his family with him to stand in the way of the military. The mother blamed the stepfather for taking the risk of his son's life. The stepfather said seriously, but I was trying to save my daughter's life! Since then, we have untied our knots with Charlie. Thinking about it, maybe it was just the lack of communication, so the family did not understand her. But even if they choose the wrong gift, they still love her, and they can choose to unconditionally believe that her family will always be at the critical moment.

4. The image of the heroine has changed

Speaking of the growth of the heroine, I have to praise the little girl for doing well. I still remember that the Hornet team in "Change 1" had a lot of help. It was obviously a justice camp supported by the military and the government. The main skills of the male protagonist are mouth cannon and running with the energy stone, and the final achievement is just to insert the energy stone into Megatron's chest (not dead yet). Afterwards, thinking about the presence of so many Transformers and so many soldiers, it seems that anyone can do this. This male protagonist is a bit soy. In this year's Hornet, the hostess awakened the Hornet, trained him, and abandoned the whole world to stay with him at the critical moment. Bumblebee is isolated and helpless, no one believes nor supports Bumblebee except the heroine. Seeing that the bumblebee was cold, the heroine just went against the sky and saved his life with a high-voltage stun gun on her own. At the last moment, while the signal was about to be launched, while the Hornet and the Decepticon members were struggling to fight, the 18-year-old Charlie risked his life to climb the tower and forcibly pulled out the battery to interrupt the transmission, with a clean and neat technique. Charlie can be called a hero in the whole process, this is what a true heroine should have.

In recent years, there has been an obvious change in European and American movies, such as this one, such as "The Number One Player", the heroines in the film have developed from sexy hot girls to teenage temperaments. Compared with the Warrior déesse in "Bian 1 2", Charlie in this film looks like a rough little boy. He is not stunning, even ordinary, and his body is flat. Seeing her playing the drums, rummaging, smelling her underarms, the two boy friends who watched the movie with me looked at each other and smiled at each other. I guess this scene is really familiar to the boy. Compared with waiting for the protection of others, these juvenile heroines are brave and take the initiative to take on more responsibilities, and are more brave and confident. I also hope that such a heroine can also lead the new generation of aesthetic trends.

V. About justice and evil

There is actually an in-depth discussion in this part. It's a discussion about the righteous and evil camps. Let's take a look at how the robot came to the earth. At first, everyone was from the perspective of Bumblebee, preconceived that the Decepticon members were bad, and Optimus Prime stayed on the earth to defend humanity.

In the beginning of this "Bumblebee", it was clearly pointed out that everything originated from a robot civil war. Optimus Prime lost the city of wheat. In the beginning, Bumblebee came to the earth just to recharge and wait for the counterattack. The relationship between Optimus Prime and Megatron is like two disagreeing parties. From the perspective of the French parties, Optimus Prime is Merangxiong’s left wing, striving for the great harmony of the universe, and Megatron is like Le Mrs. Pang’s extreme right wing has a strong national consciousness and will not hesitate to hurt other races for the development of her own race. It's hard to say who is good and who is bad. After all, justice and evil are just differences in position. From the perspective of robot nationalism, perhaps Optimus Prime is the traitor. We have a good impression of Optimus Prime, just because we are looking at problems from the standpoint of people on the earth, and Optimus Prime is more self-disciplined in its organization and will not kill innocent people indiscriminately.

Tracing the source, the Decepticon camp won the civil war, and the two Decepticon members chased the earth to destroy the poor. After they came to the earth, they found that the planet was good, and they had the idea of ​​replacing it with human beings. When I think about it, they are also for the development of their own nation, which is understandable. And there is another scene in which the Hornet was attacked by the military and went violently. The tyrannical face was completely released. Although it was a delusion, it also reflected that falling into the evil way was only a difference, and even the Hornet was not immune. So smart, tell me, is there any good person forever?

Combined with the Cold War background in 1987, Lenovo's two major ideologies, the United States and the Soviet Union, were opposed. It is hard to say that this is just a simple robot battle movie.

Six. Details worthy of attention in the movie

There is also a detail in the movie that deserves attention. The Decepticon members have obtained the support of the military with hypocritical faces and can obtain all the information. The two military leaders looked at the two robots with distrustful eyes from behind the glass window of the upper combat command room. The figures of the robots and the military leaders seemed to overlap, but they were separated, implying that they used each other to beware of each other. relation. At the same time, Bumblebee and Charlie were on the edge of the cliff, facing the blue sea. Charlie hesitated to dive after his father died, and Memo stood by her to accompany her. In the stalemate, Bumblebee, the little yellow car with its own bgm, suddenly played Stan Bush's "The Touch" ¨You got the touch, you got the power.¨ To cheer her up. Charlie and Memo followed the prestige to Bumblebee. From the perspective of the front window, the scene that overlaps with the military and the Decepticon robot is the same composition. This scene is very thoughtful. In the same scene, Bumblebee and Charlie are silently encouraging and communicating with each other without words. The same composition shows different relationships. Pure friendship ironically satirizes hypocritical allies. The relationship between two pairs of characters at the same time forms a stark contrast here.

In the process of watching the movie, many scenes seemed familiar. For example, the first time the Bumblebee out of the garage made a mess of the house, and finally frustrated, the car door floated behind him, like Howl’s moving castle; for example, when he was shocked by the military, they couldn’t even look at each other at their fingertips. The touch makes people think of "King Kong" in a trance; for example, Charlie jumped into the deep water in order to wake up the bumblebee, and the process of diving all the way is like the little mermaid in "The Little Mermaid". Perhaps happiness is always the same, but it is such a small detail that gradually enriches the character's personality, and even the cold machine seems to have feelings.

Through this movie, we finally know why Bumblebee lost its voice and how to find a way to communicate on the radio. We also clarified many small details. For example, why Bumblebee can easily accept the goddess of war in "Change 1", but hate the bitch hot girl in "Change 2", and even spray oil directly on her. Except because she is a robot, after all, she is also a virtuous group with the Bitch trio who bullied Charlie on the cliff.

Seven. About the ending

My biggest doubt after watching it was why the Hornet stayed with the hero of "Transformers 1" released in 2007, but did not stay with Charlie in 1987. It is clear that the relationship between them is deeper. Recalling the big watery eyes of the bumblebee chick when it broke its shell, I suddenly understood that for the bumblebee, Charlie is like a mother, who accompanies him from naive to mature, and the birds will leave the nest one day. The heroes in "Change 1" are like teammates. They fight fiercely together and face a broader world. In the last scene, Charlie watched the Hornet upgrade successfully and gradually disappeared into the distance of the traffic, as if her mother was watching the chick grow up and fly high.

But it is not appropriate to say that their relationship is mother and child. After all, when saying goodbye, Bumblebee said, thank you for helping me get my voice back. Charlie said, thank you for helping me find me. Thanks for making me feel me. What a beautiful farewell. In the end Charlie finally repaired the car left by his father, and the car ran into the distance, finally letting go of his knots and heading for a better future.

It can only be said that when we meet on a narrow road in our lifetime, it is a blessing to be able to grow together.

PS: I have a strange brain hole. If the bumblebee transforms, its head is hidden under the car facing the ground, what is the perspective during driving...
