The second part after 8 years, I forgot the plot of the previous one and thought that the plot at the beginning was filled with water. The tone of this film is still a lighthearted and happy family movie, and the plot trend is mixed with various stalks from time to time, which is humorous and humorous. Adventure is still the theme. In the adventure, the first presentation is a bizarre fantasy world, which makes people feast their eyes and enjoy a ready-made fantasy feast. Resting swarms of moths like woods, 6-eyed tarantulas, sharks on land, and more. And with that comes conflict. One of the conflicts is the privacy and freedom of the daughter and son-in-law. Should Guage let them go? The second conflict is barbarism and civilization, better man or cave man? The latter is the representative of barbarism and vulgarity in the eyes of the former, "don't even know what the wall is for". The latter also believes that the former is full of conspiracy and selfishness. "I always feel that there is some hidden secret here." The third conflict is the choice of the male protagonist. On the one hand, he is a friendly neighbor family and a wealthy and worry-free life when he was young, and on the other hand, he is a beloved who has gone through life and death, but is poor and hungry tomorrow. And this film does not directly face the conflict, but in the adventure, in the struggle with the third party. Let some people choose to compromise, let some people learn to grow. Better mom felt guilty for being rescued, so she learned to understand and joined Thunder Sister on the principle of joining if she couldn't beat her. The male protagonist knows what he wants most because of the fear of losing his life. And the Guage family also understood that the family in front of them were also bloody three-dimensional characters, not just arrogant fools, and chose to accept them. As for the Banana Brothers.....
So in the end, everyone lived happily in the wall, and the elopement between the daughter and the son-in-law ended in a nonsensical single room in the wall.
Besides, the character of Dawn, although it is a flower in the greenhouse, has a clear goal and firm belief, which is completely in line with the character of the big heroine. Compared with the ambivalence of the male protagonist at this time, this character has a more affinity.
In addition, there are many metaphors in the film. The silly son reports the window frame to look at others every day, and the contrast between the inside and the outside of the wall. Fantastic.
Of course, the final and deeper issues have not yet been covered. For example, how will the two families live and work in the future?
But in the final analysis, this is a family-friendly film, humor and entertainment are the most important, and the rest are to make the film more layered. There is no obligation or willingness to go to a deeper level to develop. There is no need for everyone to deliberately over-interpret various metaphors.
