The film title The One and Only Ivan (2020), alias the unique Ivan.

"The One and Only Ivan" Picture Book
Watching social news in the early years, or buying picture books for children, the audience may have a little impression of the story of the gorilla Ivan.
Ivan originally lived in the wild grasslands as a child, and was captured by poachers. After being rescued, he came to the United States and was adopted by a family. By the age of 3, Ivan was too big to fit at home, so he was sent to a mall in Washington State and became a big star in the mall.
Ivan has lived in the mall for 27 years, and later became the focus of people's discussion again because of his ability to paint. People protested against Ivan's living conditions, demanding better housing for him, and eventually Ivan was sent to Zoo Atlanta to live in a vast world.
With the technical endorsement of "The Lion King 2019", the animal images in "The Unique Ivan" have been made real.
The joys and sorrows of the animals are vivid, and what the audience sees is not an uncivilized beast, but an old acquaintance with flesh and blood.
Just showing a silverback gorilla Ivan wasn't enough to support a standard-length movie, so many other animals were added to the story.
Ivan's living environment has changed from the original shopping mall to a small town circus, where there are all kinds of animals, as big as elephants, as small as rabbits, sea lions in the water, and parrots in the sky. be expanded.
In addition to realizing his dream of freedom, Ivan also helps other animals to complete the character growth, and the whole story is immediately full.
Ivan the One and Only is so technically crafted that I am moved every time the eyes of mammals are shown in close-up.
Humans themselves are a type of mammals, and it is easy to empathize with mammals, especially when you see them flickering with big eyes, what you see through their eyes does not seem to be an untamed beast, but flesh and blood. love friend.
Movies can make people temporarily escape from reality. Everyone yearns for freedom, and animals also yearn for freedom, but rushing into the wilderness, with freedom, there is no guarantee of survival.
If Ivan, who has not left the mall for 27 years, is returned to the wild environment, Ivan will most likely not survive. Only in relatively safe and secure wildlife parks can the Ivans survive.
It's like we think about "I quit my job" every day, but after complaining, we still go back to work obediently, after all, "eating is important".
After watching the film, you have to admire Disney's skill in telling heartwarming stories.
A simple story that is deeply digged and polished becomes emotionally charged in no time.
There is not a single bad character in the whole film, everyone and every animal has a good starting point, as if everything is bathed in holy light. That's the power of promotional work, creating an image that's incredibly convincing. Even if only a few people can believe it, it will be successful.
On the surface, this film seems to tell a story of the pursuit of freedom, but it can't help but think about it.
What kind of freedom did Ivan pursue, and what kind of freedom did people finally give him? Can Ivan harness the freedom of nature, or has he changed from a small cage to a big one? People protested against the improvement of Ivan's residence, not against the control of Ivan, but a change of place.
Therefore, as long as flickering is in place, limited freedom is Mr. De. If you don't fudge, limited freedom will not be recognized.
Excellent storytelling skills and shooting techniques,
Gorgeous all-good guys and fairy tales.
