Dare to take risks, life will be wonderful;

I have never had a father, but I have always had you;

【First impression】

Ian | nerd: smart (high-achieving student), timid, good-faced, timid in doing things;

Barry | Big Silly: Bold and bold, but fond of some ancient magic that others find worthless;

【bedding】

Ian came of age at the age of 18, hoped to be accompanied by his father (putting on his father's sweater), and learned from his father's classmates that his father was a bold person - which triggered a desire: hope to be like his father (as bold as his father).

Cowardly example: a classmate put his feet on his stool in class, he dared not insist on fighting for his own rights; when he took the driver's license test, the coach told him that he did not dare to do it;

Make a list of things you want to do with your dad: play catch, go for a walk, talk to each other, laugh together, teach me to drive, share my life;

【unexpected】

Ask the terrifying Manticore for a map of the Philosopher's Stone, but the other party has long since been assimilated by modern society into an ordinary restaurant owner who only cares about benefits and customer evaluations;

Tried to make the oil tank bigger, but because Barry kept entangled in Ian's posture and interrupted by words, Ian accidentally made Barry smaller;

Four motorcycles appeared out of thin air, thinking they were invisible people, but I didn't expect that countless gangster pink-winged elves were driving motorcycles;

The air conditioner was used to drive away the gangster powder-winged elves who broke into the car;

I thought it was an adventure to find gems in the wilderness to attract a giant dragon, but I didn't expect that the destination was the door of my house. The gem was in a dilapidated park that the city was about to demolish; and the giant dragon was made of steel and iron bones of the city, and The dragon face is the Q version of the dinosaur face on the wall;

The useless brother is actually the magic encyclopedia of this activity;

The honest Ian promised his stepfather to go home, but he didn't expect to take the plane and drive away;

【contradiction】

Ian felt embarrassed when he drove a classic car to pick him up in Bally → When using the lying magic, I agreed with the point of view that "Bally is trash" → Seeing Dad who danced strangely, the brothers reconciled and started dancing together → The quarrel that Bally took the wrong way and lost the chance to see his father → I recalled the moments when my brother was with me from childhood to adulthood, and recalled the encouragement and support my brother had always given him → I went to say goodbye to my father, and I bravely rushed to evil Dragon to fight.

【growing up】

The social worker Manticore flying lion left the restaurant that needed to be managed with great care, found his original wildness, and learned to fly;

Ian gained courage: In the process of being chased by the gangster Fan Wing, he was encouraged and urged by Bally to drive on the highway where the cars were traveling;

Mom changed from an ordinary housewife to a warrior fighting a dragon;

[Tear point: The child's desire for a father who has never met is most touching]

Ian tries to see Daddy's back from a distance through the cracks of the ruins (intensifying the appeal of this longing in hard form), he has the opportunity to see Daddy, but he gives it to his brother; the brother passes it on to his dad Hugs to him.

    The ending of the Berlinale Special is so disappointing and so complete, Pixar still does not disappoint. The American family values ​​have been promoted for many years, but the foothold has become a brotherhood that has accumulated over time. In the animation, only parents who are onlookers/resistance are actively involved in the main plot. The sisterhood of middle-aged women achieving each other is extremely moving. The board game house finally has a voice in the mainstream cultural circle, and the opening paragraphs are too dense with lawyers' letter warnings.
