After watching "The Mermaid", I was very sad. After watching "The Son of the Monster", I replaced the "Mermaid" with sadness. Why didn't "The Mermaid" become a fairy tale mode like "The Son of the Monster"? Maybe it's Zhou Syndrome? . As I said, when you push "Son of the Monster", you have to force our star to get over the addiction.
I watched "Summer Wars" first, and I still remember that there were several brain battle action scenes in the middle of "Summer Wars", which made the Lun family almost sit on the ground in excitement. Huh? Ah? Ah? Essie! Copy it! ? Copy star? ! After researching the time, "Summer Battle" came out 5 years later than "Kung Fu", so it didn't run away. The familiar action scenes in "Summer" largely borrowed from the classic fights in "Kung Fu". No fuss, see for yourself. Therefore, "Kung Fu" has become a benchmark, isn't it? In China, Japan, and even Hollywood, action and martial arts cannot be bypassed, and its influence is not generally accepted.
It is said to be Japanese animation. Maybe most of the animations produced in the world belong to the healing department. This is determined by the relationship between supply and demand. Most of the movie fans have glass hearts, which are brittle and fragile, and they are eager for these things. In Japan, Mamoru Hosoda's painting style and stories are closest to Hayao Miyazaki and Hayao Miyazaki's films, which are typical of the healing system of returning to nature, with a big theme and more world. Hosoda Mamoru's films also embrace nature and focus more on personal growth. , this is the difference between a master and an upcoming master. Now that Mr. Gong has retired, "Son of the Monster" has naturally become the annual expectation of many people.
Each of the 4 feature-length novels is more mature than the other, and my favorite is the latest "Children of Monsters".
(The part that involves Xing Ye is far-fetched)
The core of the story of "Son of the Monster" can be said to be the same as that of "Kung Fu"!
At the end of "Kung Fu", Xing Zai opened a candy store and reunited with the dumb girl. The camera panned and turned, Xing Zai returned to his childhood, and entered the candy shop hand in hand with the childhood dumb female. You can see the pig cage city appearing on the street. Most of the residents of the village, this stroke can be said to be lyrical, or it can be said to allude to the true face of the story of "Kung Fu": the adult Xingzi mixed with the axe gang, and later the heroic deeds of police and punishment came from Xiao Axing (I believe this more), this is a classic stroke that established the characteristics of the fairy tale of "Kung Fu". It's not hard to explain, when a child is bullied by bad boys and no one helps him, he may be under the covers, imagine himself as a superhero, vent as much as he can, call the shots, show the limelight, and clean up those bullies Your own people, dare you say that you have never done this before?
Let's look at "Son of the Monster" again.
The boy in "Son of the Monster" lost his mother and lost contact with his father. He was lonely and lonely. One day when he was 9 years old, he was walking in an alley in Shibuya. Suddenly, he got lost and walked into a monster world. . He chose to live with him without any doubt, and the two also had a wonderful chemical reaction, like master and apprentice, more like father and son. Aside from the fairy tale world, for a child, this kind of "lost" is naturally a simulation of a child's pure fantasy, isn't it? And the second half of the film also hints at this: in the real world, in the process of teaching Jiu Tai literacy, a high school girl Feng told the adventure story of fighting a giant whale, and when the monster world and the human world were in chaos, a wolf After Yan became a bad boy, why did he turn into the image of a giant whale? It can only be said that this is the result of reality intervening in imagination.
Ichirohiko is a child who wants to become a powerful monster, and his image is mostly from the bad boys who bully Xiao Jiutai, just like the bad boys who bully Xiao Xingzai in "Kung Fu". And by the side of Jiutai, Feng, a woman who is also lonely and melancholy and has no playmates, overlaps with the image of a dumb girl. Look at the end of "Son of the Monster". Finally, the monster Xiong Che turned into a sharp sword, merged with Jiutai, and cleaned up the bad boy Ichirohiko who fell into the dark. It can be said that he is a 9-year-old child who lost his parents. Created a father-like hero Xiong Che, Xiong Che is like a tiger in the juvenile pie, he is a product of his brain, the ancients said: strong imagination brings reality, that's what it means. (The inspiration and ideas of "Kung Fu" and "Monster's Son", I think it may come from "Spirited Away", think about it carefully)
The part of "Monster's Son" that I like most is the father-son relationship between Jiutai and Xiong Che This is also the father-son relationship model that people like me who can’t talk to my father for a year are most looking forward to. Like couples arguing, whoever wins first will lose. On the surface, they despise each other, but in their hearts they recognize each other more than anyone else. Moreover, unlike "Wolf's Children Rain and Snow", mother's love seems to occupy a natural advantage, which can be given directly in text and in film and television. The father-son relationship is very difficult to express, and there are many twists. It is the feeling of slowly approaching in "The Man and the Dog in the Mountain", and it is also the kind of noisy and lively in "Yangtze River No. 7" and "The Son of the Monster". I can't see it, I can't live without that feeling, although it's more difficult to express, but once it is expressed, it's easier to touch the lacrimal glands, so let's taste it slowly...
Ang Lee said that Stephen Chow's movies are children's things, and they are so powerful that he can't tell them.
Adults also often say that fairy tales are all lies. However, even so, they still use fairy tales to lull their children to sleep. And Hayao Miyazaki, Mamoru Hosoda, Zhou Xingchi, etc., and then tell these deceitful fairy tales to the adults, and put them to sleep, isn't it like this?
