In fact, this is a real-life version of a fairy tale for adults. It uses the historical memory left by the Smurfs in the 1980s as a nostalgic condiment, but the dishes they serve are real life. This is the story of the Smurfs defeating Gargamel again, that's right, but the Smurfs crossed into the civilized world in the movie, so it has practical significance, and even leaped from cartoons to the height of fairy tales. "Elf" made the post-80s gentlemen nostalgic, but also taught a lesson about men.
The Smurfs story this time still follows the routine of Hollywood's three vulgar melodramas. There used to be a group of kind people who lived a very happy life. The villains quietly appeared in the eyes of the audience, and the villains were still tight after the kind people lost their homes. Reluctant to give up, after a round of fierce competition, the good people defeated the bad guys and returned to their homes. It is said that as long as the story follows this routine, it will always attract the audience to look down. As for how attractive it is, it depends on whether it is violent or not, and whether the danger is surrounded by danger. In such a routine, no matter how flawed the story of the Smurfs is, for example, under the strange blue moon, Gargamel chases Daddy Blue's family to Central Park in New York. Why doesn't he stay in the Elf Village to chase other elves? ? Anyway, any elf hair will have huge magic power. This is the beginning of the film, and the climax of the film is like this: The Smurfs are looking for the spell to turn on the blue moon in the bookstore, while Gargamel learns from a neurotic homeless man that the Smurfs are in the bookstore, which leads to the final a duel.
This is the magic power of a similar story routine, as long as the good people defeat the bad guys, plus the Smurfs are cute, simple, and kind, they unknowingly injected the moral power of goodness into beauty into the film, and there is no obvious trace of preaching. .
Sister Lan: Why work so hard?
Heroine: Because he wants a bigger house!
Sister Lan: Oh my god~ That way you will be farther away...
Seeing no, this is a touch of ointment to soothe our tired souls.
With a perfect story and perfect humanity, the Smurfs once again defeated Gargamel, making the family more united and harmonious.
But at the same time, it should also be noted that the Smurfs, especially the blue father, also make the male protagonists in the film become more family-responsible like them, more like a "father", as if through this experience, for the wife who is about to give birth The flesh and blood are the same as the "father qualification" exam. This man passed this test, and the criterion for passing the test was that he believed in fairy tales in the cruel real world.
There are many examples. In order to keep the post promoted, the male protagonist withstood the huge pressure of the devil's boss and rushed to work on the company's advertising ideas in an impossible time. After the Smurfs appeared, the male protagonist always drove them out of the house. He doesn't care how Q and how cute they are. Under the persuasion of his wife, he reluctantly agrees to let them stay. , but brazenly said that it was because his wife asked him to come, and he wanted to kick all the Smurfs who came to his office to make trouble. When he saw that the advertisement he designed turned into a blue moon, he probably completely collapsed. The big house was I can't buy it, but it's okay, Dad Lan told him that you will be a good father, not from your head, but from your heart. At that time, the man was moved. In the end, he was completely persuaded by his wife (the Smurfs seemed to control her brain) to give up the plan to change the blue moon video to the devil boss, and he stood up and was slapped by Gargamel at a crisis point (and then fainted), and he completely believed in fairy tales . The most terrifying thing is that the devil boss actually believed in fairy tales. She looked at the blue moon in the sky and the building advertisement video complemented each other, and she moved the whole world.
There is nothing wrong with believing in fairy tales. The key is why American women ask men to believe in fairy tales and come back to be a good father, while Chinese women tell men to accept reality and go out to be a good boss. I don’t think there is a big difference. fate. Finally, I want to sing: it is not a sin for a man to cry. . . .
