deep blue ocean, orange-red anemones are like flowers blooming on the seabed, the blue water bottom is far in front of you Swimming past is the colorful, beautiful and unusual marine life. A crimson and white striped clownfish (Marlin) and blue kingfish (Regal Blue Tang) Dory cross thousands of miles to find Marlin's lost son Nemo (Nemo) ). And the joy and clarity we felt during the viewing process, splendid and beautiful, warm and moving, have always been like the undercurrent of the Sydney Bay in the movie, happily being involved in an instant, so involuntarily.
I have watched a lot of movies, thinking about my own mood in other people's stories, actions, romance, history, comedy, magic, and horror. Very often, there are moments when I look back and quickly return to the trivial state of life. In this day and age, making movies that delight most people is not an easy task. And every film produced by Pixar, at least to me, seems to touch the softest part of people's hearts, with the most primitive and broad core under the colorful colors. Watching "Finding Nemo", you don't need to prepare anything, let this blue ocean wash away we find innocent eyes, with a bright childlike heart on the road.
Every time Pixar launches a new animated film, it is a major event in the animated film industry. Many film critics will unconsciously compare the new film with Pixar’s previous films (there are a total of "Toy Story 1, 2", "Bug Crisis" and "Monster Company"), and Pixar has consistently excellent production standards. Make it a new benchmark for 3D animation films. Before "Finding Nemo" was released, many film critics questioned whether this not-so-novel theme of seeking relatives could achieve the achievements of the previous four cartoons. In fact, such worries are unnecessary. As the ocean blue stretches, the film seems to overflow with the brilliant colors of the rainbow outside the screen, and every tiny and beautiful life in the vivid cruising sea is used by Pixar. The most advanced CG technology presents an endless imagination space and a warm spiritual home for children. Looking at Pixar’s past works, they are not good at novelty and ingenuity in terms of themes and concepts. Whether it is the dual world of "Toy Story 1, 2" and "Monster Company" or the animal fables of "Bug Crisis", in fact, Inheritance is Disney's eternal theme of truth, goodness and beauty.
"Finding Nemo" is a story about love and friendship, courage and growth, freedom and choice in the theme. The structure also adopts a common two-line parallel approach: one side is the father Marin’s quest for relatives, and the other is the son. Nemo’s growth; but Pixar has injected this story into the soul of imagination. Those images that draw people’s imagination flying in the boundless waters like we are, adult audiences like us are also polished by the joy of children’s laughter. Childlike innocence, sincerely immersed in the perfect picture and the sincere humanity theme in harmony.
It would be a great loss to not have the opportunity to see countless dazzling images in the film in the theater. I just want to express my great respect to the director of the film, one of Pixar’s soul figures, Andrew Stanton, because he really understands what children want to watch , You will find that the gentle sea turtle in it is dubbed by the director. It is not difficult to tell from the inside that he himself is also a person full of childlike innocence, of course this is just a random guess). Choosing the ocean as the background of the story not only shows Pixar's extreme self-confidence, but also allows the film to broaden the space of characters and images. The ocean provides richer materials, which makes Pixar further challenge their creation and production limits: countless creatures in the ocean, brilliant and rich colors, and various forms of life, these worlds that have appeared in children’s fantasy countless times, Now they are all presented on the screen one by one, and it cannot be said that it is the best summer gift Pixar gives to children.
Due to the well-designed dozens of different forms of marine life and the natural color advantages of the sea, the beautiful and suffocating pictures in the film emerge in endlessly: the home of clownfish full of red roe in the crystal blue ocean, and the soft sea anemone The tentacles danced gently in the sea like petals, the bright colors of the ocean school, when the entire ocean was dark, Marin and Dory stared at the oval bright ball that radiated the brilliance of the stars and moon, the vast group of turtles in the ocean current. , The variety of colors makes me lacking in vocabulary and cannot make the most appropriate description. In the whole film, I think that the most concentrated expression of the magnificent spectacle in the movie is that Marin and Dory are caught in a group of jellyfish, dozens of translucent pink jellyfish floating in the ocean, that kind of visual pleasure, Even adult audiences seem to be experiencing a dreamlike experience.
In addition, the refinement of details has always been Pixar's typical style. The realism of the masses brought by the physical simulation technology is amazing. For example, Marin and Dory were thrown from the ocean to the shore, and the skin of the fish appeared after the water gradually dried up. In addition to different textures, for example, if you pay close attention to it, you will find that the clarity and color of the sea are slightly different in different regions. So after watching this movie, American film critics sighed, wondering what Pixar wanted to do but couldn't do in the field of animated CG. One film critic even joked that the most urgent wish I want to achieve is that Pixar will not fire or add any employees in the next 25 years. The implication is that the current Pixar team is dedicated to the pure dream animation film, which realizes all the elements we can imagine.
This kind of praise is not only aimed at perfect technology and pictures, stories and pictures have always been inseparable from each other. The backbone of the film is actually a story between a father and son, in which there is no real hero. The father and son gradually let love overcome fear and cowardice in their respective misses and search for each other. The psychological level is delicate but not esoteric. Each role has its own brilliance. The choreographer obviously has his own unique intentions in the consideration and setting of the role. The clownfish father Marin has been more cautious about the only surviving son Nemo because he has experienced the catastrophe of the shark swallowing all the other children and mothers. He is frightened all day long. He even lost the clownfish’s famous sense of humor, and he was not free in spirit; his son Nemo was captured by a vicious dentist in Sydney Bay and lost the free breathing air in the wide ocean; the female Blue Tang king who met Marin by chance Yu Duo Rui is a forgetful fish. He often forgets the name he heard the previous minute in the next minute, and the words he has said can not be completely free in spirit because of forgetting. But at the end of the film, after they went through the entire process of searching, those freedoms lost to varying degrees were picked up bit by bit in the pure sea. I believe that when every audience hears Dory say to Marin, "I know I always forget things and people I know, but facing you, I feel I have found a home", no one feels sensational, on the contrary we get what we deserve. I am willing to shed tears of mixed feelings on the screen.
When it comes to the warmth of the story, the brilliance of the characters is indispensable. The forgetful Yu Duorui is the most successful image in the film. If you can't hear the original voice dubbing while watching the film, you will definitely not be able to appreciate the vividness of this role. Mentioned that Ellen DeGeneres (Ellen DeGeneres) who dubbed Dory is not a familiar face in movies, but he is also a popular figure in Hollywood. He has his own talk show. He was once Anne. A homosexual of Heche (the heroine of "Six Days and Seven Nights"). Although I haven't seen her in a movie, Dory's voice performance in this movie can fully feel her excellent control over the voice, and she has an extremely accurate grasp of Dory's mental confusion and generosity of character. , Especially greeted the whales and showed friendly dialogue to Marin at the end, and the performance was full of voice. If the mainland really intends to introduce this film, I can only express limited expectations for the actor who plays the role.
"Finding Nemo" is a movie worth watching for the second time. The wonderful details we found in the film make it necessary to taste the film again. For animated films that attract children, providing surprising details ambushing everywhere in the film is like the little treasures that children keep discovering in the back garden, sparkling with the creativity of the director. The shipwreck called the "Gloomy Mermaid" buried deep under the sea, French-speaking snails, fish claiming to be unable to stand the water, mocking Marlin’s schools of silver fish in different shapes, and the yellow beaks of seagulls on the sails, Crabs fighting back and forth on the sewer pipes, seagulls and pelicans with Australian accents, this kind of funny little humor abounds, all embodying the choreographer's attention to detail.
Digression: Every time I watch a movie made by Pixar, it is a wonderful and complete journey. "Finding Nemo" is the same as the previous "Monster Company", in front of the feature film, an animated short film is inserted. The short film that was screened before "Monster Company" that year won the Oscar for Best Animated Short Film in the same year. This short film also received the same laughter. In addition, after the end of the film, the subtitle design accompanied by the wonderful jazz music is also ingenious. Each character travels in a different way from one end of the screen. Those cute little things cleverly avoid the subtitles, play and chase each other, letting the theater go The children are happy to see the flowers. Looking at the list of Pixar’s production staff lasting several minutes with hundreds of people, what I want to say is that it is the childlike innocence of the director and production team that has consistently placed in the film that makes Pixar the overlord of the animation industry. If relying solely on technology, Pixar is far from achieving what it is today.
