1/2 magic

Geo 2022-03-22 09:01:46

1/2 is half, or part, in short, incomplete. Magic can be understood as something ethereal, or something ancient and outdated, in short, it is a bit incredible. The story itself takes place in a world that only magic can create, but in such a world, people forget magic and lose themselves, unicorns are obsessed with the food in the trash can, elves only play with their phones, centaurs police officers He only knows how to let himself go in his car, but he doesn't know that his four hooves can make him more handsome. What is this like? Isn't it the self-portrait of human beings now? With the development of science and technology, have people lost a lot of things, and what is left in their hearts? Therefore, magic is not real magic, it is the most splendid thing in human nature, it is family love, father's love and mother's love, it is the strength of brothers to unite as one, and it is the spirit of daring to give for love without fear of hardship. 1/2, it's not just that Ian's spell is wrong and only half a father is changed, it's a warning: the most precious thing in human nature is disappearing, even a child with the purest heart may remain. The next half, not to mention the adults who have been secularized for many years?

    As a Pixar work, it's a bit underwhelming, and it's almost the level between Blue Sky Studio and DreamWorks. Of course, the core is still Pixar's family and emotions. By deconstructing the father figure and finding a new father figure, one of the two fathers is almost the same as a dog, and the other is a complete "outsider". The choice of characters in the ending is great, just too childish.

    After Coco, I have a psychological shadow of this hemiplegic rejuvenation. It is not a good thing for Pixar to become more and more proficient in sensationalism. I hope this is not the last movie I watched in the cinema this year (the new crown outbreak is in sight, sigh~)
