"Monsters in Paris" is an animated film of only one and a half hours, but it goes from the subtle individual growth and the harvest of friendship and love to the macro pursuit of social rights. It's a pity that due to the length of time, these themes are not able to be deeply discussed, but they are just understated, but it is still a movie to kill time.
Personal growth is an important theme, which is first reflected in the "short" Emil. From the beginning, he stammered and failed to express himself in front of the lovely Maud, to following the advice of his good friend and summoning the courage to invite him with postcards, and finally It is to face the "big man" fearlessly under the agitation of love, and finally harvest sweet love. Then it is reflected in the protagonist Francoeur in this film, a flea who lives quietly in the laboratory, but because of Rolle and Emile, he has become a man with "big bloody and crimson pupils" in people's mouths. monster. The fact is that it came to a strange world, puzzled by the picture projected by the square box, kindly helped people pick up pearls scattered all over the place, and everything around them was so different from the original laboratory. Fortunately, it met the kind Lucy. Although it was rejected from the door due to misunderstanding at first, it told its own story with an ethereal voice and moved countless listeners with its unprecedented musical talent. A comb, a guitar, a decent white suit, and Lucy's sweet singing voice, have made one music event after another. The talent of this musical genius has not been buried. It is enviable that it has met friends who can understand it, and can shine in what it likes.
The pursuit of power and the desire for prestige are the ever-changing trends of every era. There are as many people as there are who do not fight, who do not snatch, and who are willing to become prisoners of power, and spend their entire lives only to stand on the top of the pyramid. Let alone whether this kind of behavior is worth advocating, I think everyone has the right to pursue what they want, but I think there should be no lower limit to this right. Fortunately, the film gave us a good example. The greedy mayoral candidate desperately pursued and killed the "monster", just to give the masses a promise to succeed in taking office. After killing Francoeur, he was detained as "strong". With the hat of stealing the limelight", he became an out-and-out "monster", and eventually became a cellmate with the Flying Hands and the whistleblower, which is very embarrassing. While pursuing our own goals in life, we should consider whether it will bring adverse effects on others and society. This is what the film tells us through prisoners.
Overall, this one and a half hour was not in vain, not only realizing the infinite possibilities of individual growth, but also realizing that we are related to others in society, and we can never be alone. Are you excited to write this?
