Recently, I was addicted to watching animated films, and I stumbled upon an animation "Snowman" that was released last year. Since its release, it has been well received at home and abroad, ranking second in domestic animation films, second only to "The Devil Child of Nezha".

This is the warmest anime I've seen this year, even though it came out last year. Some people say that the plot is old-fashioned and the characters have no memory at all, but I don't agree with it.

I've always liked movies with simple plots that don't require too much thinking to watch, and it would have been better if it had a warmer tone, and this animation fits perfectly.

It made me cry several times, and laughed in tears, if you haven't seen it, I really recommend it.

The plot of this animation can be summed up in just one or two sentences, but it needs to be watched carefully.

Next, I would like to talk about my perception of this animation from the three stages of the encounter between the protagonist Xiaoyi and the little snowman "Da Mao", acquaintance and companionship.

1. Magical encounter: Fate is a wonderful thing that allows us to meet in the universe

A "monster" who escaped from the research institute, a girl who has become withdrawn and sensitive since her father died, what story can happen between them?

The film starts with a fluffy behemoth fleeing in a hurry, bringing people into a tense atmosphere. There is still some curiosity in the tension. This person is not a person, and an animal is not like an animal. What kind of creature is he?

It fled all the way, panicked, was hit by a car on the way, and climbed to the roof of a residential building in a panic.

At this moment, it meets Xiaoyi, the protagonist of the film.

Originally, to ease the pain of missing her father, Xiaoyi, a young girl who ran to the top of the building alone and played the violin, unexpectedly, a strange creature suddenly appeared in front of her. Before she could figure out what it was, she found that someone was following it. .

All encounters in the world are reunions after a long absence. When she saw this fluffy little monster being tracked, although she didn't understand what happened, she seemed to see a lonely self who had also been trying to hide in her life.

So, she decided to help the helpless little guy in front of her to hide first.

After the tracker left, Xiaoyi searched the Internet to find out that it turned out to be the legendary magical species - the snowman.

She tried to get closer to the snowman, probing step by step, little by little, cautiously. She didn't know that from the moment she approached the snowman, her heart was slowly approaching.

Later, Xiaoyi tried every means to help the little snowman arrange and build a hiding place. The pictures of the film took a whole day from early morning to sunset.

Faced with an unfamiliar behemoth, Xiaoyi was of course afraid at first. In this fear, there is the fear of the unknown and the fear of strangers. However, she took the initiative to approach the snowman later, bandaging its wounds, and playing the violin to comfort it. She didn't know that she had begun to change.

She was willing to give and help it, even though she didn't know who it was or where it came from. In front of her, the little guy also put down his guard and fell asleep peacefully.

There is a scene in this part that I am very moved. When Xiaoyi's neighbor Pengpeng and his brother went to the roof to look for Xiaoyi's lost air conditioner, they accidentally bumped into Da Mao next to Xiaoyi, thinking it was a monster holding Xiaoyi. They want to take Xiaoyi back.

As for the little snowman, thinking they were bad people, it stretched out an arm to protect Xiaoyi behind him. At that time, maybe even earlier, Xiaoxueren already regarded Xiaoyi as his friend and family.

For friends, for family, the little snowman is ready to fight.

One, from daring to approach at first, to approaching cautiously, to taking the initiative to help it deal with wounds, build a hiding place, and feed it.

The other, from vigilance and intimidation at the beginning, to slowly lowering the guard, and then to being able to sleep peacefully.

Two people from different worlds are trying to approach each other step by step, and their hearts are slowly approaching.

2. Lucky to know each other: Although the language is different, but love makes them close and understand each other

During the few days they were together, Xiao Xueren happened to see the pictures of her and her father in Xiaoyi's violin, as well as some landscape postcards. The little snowman stroked the postcards with his fluffy palms.

At the time, I didn't know what the special significance of this picture was. Later, I realized that it turned out that on the way back to the Himalayas, all the scenery they passed by was specially arranged by the snowman for Xiaoyi to help her fulfill her wish.

Have you ever had a pet, a kitten or a puppy, or even a reptile?

Anyone who has raised them knows that although we do not understand the language with them, we believe that many times we can really understand what they are expressing.

Because we have love in our hearts.

Although the little snowman is not Xiaoyi's pet, although they have only known each other for a short time, and they do not understand the language, they can still communicate well, because they have love in their hearts.

When Xiaoyi accidentally caught a glimpse of the look in the eyes of the snowman when he was looking at the snow mountain poster, she knew how much this little guy wanted to go home and miss his family. She also seemed to see her longing for home and family in the eyes of the little snowman.

In the film, through the dialogue between Xiaoyi's mother and grandma, she explained that Xiaoyi has become withdrawn since her father's death. Her heart seems to be closed, and she is unwilling to open her heart to her family again, and she has become unable to communicate with her family.

Xiaoyi makes herself very busy every day. In addition to getting rid of the pain of missing her father, she also hopes to save enough money to go to the scenic spots on the postcards as soon as possible to fulfill her unfulfilled wish when her father was alive.

But these, she has never told anyone, and she is not willing to mention them easily. This is her own secret and concern. In her opinion, others don't have to understand, don't have to understand, and won't understand.

One, he can only rely on playing the violin to express his thoughts for his dead father; Two people who are lonely in their hearts seem to have found another self in each other.

Little Snowman is much like Xiaoyi himself, but the difference between them is that Xiaoyi has a family and relatives, but he doesn't seem to feel it, while Little Snowman can't even go back to his home, and he can't even see his family.

So, Xiaoyi decided to help the poor little snowman go home and reunite him with his family.

3. Heart-warming companionship: The journey of returning home together is also a journey of self-growth and healing

When Xiaoyi decides to help Little Snowman go home, he is chased by people from the research institute before he can set off. When they were overwhelmed by the chase, the opportunity came! Taking advantage of the city's "light show", they were able to escape onto a ship that was about to leave port.

She told the little snowman the route home, "You just need to cross the Huangshan Mountain, cross the Yangtze River, and reach the Himalayas to get home." Although there are only a few words to say, but the little guy who doesn't understand people's words and doesn't know the way, how can he know how to accurately find his home.

She saw the dazed little guy, flustered and clumsy, distressed, and her heart began to shake. After thinking about it, she decided to send it home in person.

When Xiaoyi jumped on the boat regardless of her body, I burst into tears. Her firm eyes and neat jumping motions have said everything.

Jumping on the boat, turning around and looking back at home, Xiaoyi knew that from now on, she was getting farther and farther from home, and the road ahead was unknown, and when she would come back, it was even more unknown.

At that time, the little snowman had his own name - Da Mao, which was started by Xiao Yi.

Since then, their fates have been closely linked.

In addition to them, there are two other people who have also embarked on the journey to help Da Mao get home, that is Peng Peng and his brother A Jun.

On the way, when they were hungry, Da Mao sang softly and made the trees grow a lot of blueberries. However, before they had time to be happy, the size of the blueberries became more and more exaggerated, and then they exploded, and a few friends were stunned. , can only be chased by blueberries.

I think they will never forget the exaggerated scene of being chased and fleeing by the blueberry "bomb".

This blueberry journey makes people feel warm and funny.

Pengpeng, who loves basketball, also taught Da Mao to play basketball. The two played together during the trip and became good friends. In fact, Da Mao is a playful Pengpeng in another world.

When they were chased by a group of people from the institute again in Huangshan and escaped on a giant dandelion, Jun and them were forced to separate. Dandelion landed in a desert. I don't know where she was. Xiaoyi began to regret and blame herself. At this time, Da Mao patted Xiaoyi's head with his big plush hand to comfort her.

Friends, give us courage and confidence, so that the way home is no longer lonely and distant.

On the way, Xiaoyi's violin broke. It was the only thing left by her father, and it was very precious to her. The piano was broken, as if the connection with her father was lost. She would not be able to play the piano if she missed her father in the future. She felt very sad.

Da Mao was so sad to see Xiao Yi, although he couldn't speak or comfort him, but he repaired the violin in his own way, and it was still an upgraded version, because his own fluff was added on it.

Big hair is so warm! It's amazing!

When they finally reached the Himalayas, Da Mao's home was right in front of them. Unexpectedly, people from the institute also arrived. At the last critical moment, they actually captured Da Mao and Xiao Yi was pushed off the bridge!

I was very sad, and my heart was pounding. I don't want to see this ending, I don't want them to go through all the hardships and not be able to reunite Da Mao with his family.

Originally, Da Mao had the opportunity to escape and hide in the snow-capped mountains. It was only a bridge away from his home, but he ran in the opposite direction, and even Boss Bo, who wanted to catch him, watched at that moment. Out: It's protecting the family.

Da Mao has already regarded Xiaoyi and the others as family. So, it won't give them up and run away alone.

Xiaoyi, who was pushed off the bridge, struggled to grab the rope and struggled to climb up, but she seemed so weak that she couldn't hold on any longer. At this time, she thought of her father again, and remembered what her father often told her not to give up.

So, she cheered herself up again and tried her best to climb up. When she stood on the bridge, watching Da Mao and her two companions being taken away by the bad guys, she played the violin again, and put her thoughts and help for her father into the sound of the piano.

In the sound of the piano, there are thoughts, anger, helplessness, and sadness. She prayed to her father to help her, give her strength and courage, let her continue to fight against bad people, and encourage her not to give up.

A miracle happened! The sound of music awakened Da Mao, who broke through the cage and drove the bad guys back!

"Outside the pavilion, beside the ancient road, the grass is blue and green. The evening wind blows the flute, and the sunset mountain is outside the mountain...".

Yesterday, we were still together in the wind, laughing and laughing all the way, but tomorrow we will say goodbye at the intersection.

I watched this last part crying, although Da Mao returned to his home and to his parents, although the "escort team" successfully completed the task.

I was in tears when I should have been happy.

It is always sad to be separated, not to mention that they have experienced so much wonderful and experienced so much happiness together.

As if just yesterday, the dandelions turned into parachutes, the Leshan Giant Buddha was full of flowers, and the clouds turned into koi. The "escort team" crossed the blueberry fruit forest and the sea of ​​rapeseed flowers all the way, soaring to the clouds and the wind, and finally escorted Da Mao home safely.

The hardships and dangers of the trip were replaced by the rippling Qiandao Lake, the majestic Huangshan Mountain, the beautiful sea of ​​rapeseed flowers and the mysterious Buddha.

I believe that when the little friends return home, the secrets between them and Da Mao and the past with Da Mao will become their best memories.

They, no one will forget who. Although it ended in parting, it was a beautiful relationship, and even the pain was soft in parting.

On this journey to send Da Mao home, Xiao Yi and her friends helped Da Mao and healed themselves.

They have seen a wider world, appreciated more beautiful scenery, and changed themselves invisibly during the journey. The travel destination in Xiaoyi's dream, the scenery on the postcard, Da Mao has seen all of them one by one.

This journey is homecoming for Da Mao and leaving home for Xiaoyi, but it is also a spiritual homecoming.

At the end of the film, Da Mao stretched out his hand and handed Xiaoyi a photo. It was a group photo of Xiaoyi's family. Everyone laughed so brightly and happily, and it was a warm and tear-jerking scene.

Farther and farther away from home, but the heart is getting closer and closer to home.

Xiaoyi, who returned to her own home, regained the courage to love. She not only learned to communicate with her family, but also learned to express love. She also understood her grandmother and mother, as well as the meaning of family and company.

Home is where there is love and family. Home is the place that gives us strength and courage at all times.

Family members are those who secretly hide all their concerns in their nagging, those who have been silently caring about themselves even though they have not expressed them, and those who have given us endless warmth without expecting anything in return.

I believe that Da Mao and Xiao Yi have become each other's special family.

A few kind and brave teenagers, a snowman with a pure heart, the story of love between them has planted a kind of fire in people's hearts, which will illuminate our lonely or dark moments in life in the future.

Everyone is healed, including you and me.

【Conclusion】

"We met and crossed the distance. You ignited my courage to face the greatest enemy. After the night, there is dawn. You waited with me, and did not want to wake up from this beautiful dream..."

From Shanghai Street to the Himalayas Snow Mountain, a little snowman escaped from the research room, a group of kind-hearted and adventurous young people, a fantasy adventure story spanning 3,000 kilometers.

After watching this animation, you will gain laughter and emotion.

A good movie, in addition to telling a wonderful story, is more important to express the 100% of the content that is not told.

Often, the simpler the truth, the easier it is to be forgotten.

Please continue to believe in kindness and courage, please continue to be the boy who once had a dream in his heart, and please still believe in the power of love.

Thanks to this animation for creating a beautiful fairy tale dream for us and protecting our childlike innocence. May we always have dreams to dream and someone to love.
