Once upon a time, cities were full of tall buildings, many, many tall buildings.
People were walking up and down the tall buildings.
There was a vampire who bit a tall building and knocked out his teeth.
He kept crying and crying.
The other vampires asked him, why are you crying? It's just baby teeth.
He said, no, that's my replaced tooth.
The other vampires knew he could never be a vampire again, so they left him one by one.
This is a very lonely little boy MAX came up with his own. What kind of loneliness can make a little boy tell such a story, but despite this, his family still ignores it. So the little boy got out of control, got manic, got mad, and ran away from home.
Maybe you will think that the image and character of MAX at the beginning of the movie are too unpleasant, and the dull background music, dim picture, and cold-colored scenes always make people feel a little difficult for this movie, which is very fairy tale, but it is filled with sadness. entry.
However, MAX's inner loneliness has reached a limit as can be seen from the completely uncontrolled exchanges between MAX and his sister, mother and strange man. He was unable to vent, and even his ability to communicate normally was gradually swallowed up. The long-term single-parent family life and the inability to face male parents made him gradually become an island in his heart, a fairy tale world born of loneliness.
You can beat anything, what about loneliness?
MAX drifted on the sea like a juvenile pie, and finally came to a beast country. Of course, the animals here are not "beasts", and they are all adorable. In order to survive, MAX told the animals of the Beast Kingdom that he is a Viking Kingdom, saying that he can defeat anything, and then Carol asked him: "You can defeat anything, what about loneliness?"
In fact, although this kingdom seems very peaceful , very comfortable, but when they face the invaders, they only care about the powerful opponent of loneliness, which also emphasizes the theme of this film again.
Skeuomorphism, who are you, and who am I.
In fact, similar to MAX, the kingdom of the beast can also be understood as a father, which is a state of absence. Therefore, after MAX said he was KING, everyone was very happy to accept him. MAX is in this "kingdom of his own". "In, finally no loneliness, they ran together, screaming, laughing, wanton. Doing everything he wants to do and should do.
Perhaps because of the deep influence of Ang Lee's "Youth Pie", since MAX began to drift, I automatically turned on the check-in mode. Carol here is actually the incarnation of MAX himself. Like MAX, Carol has powerful destructive power, is uncontrollable and moody, but MAX also likes to be with Carol the most. In the end, when MAX left, the one who cried the most was Carol. .
The role of KW in the film is not only a female role, but also refers to MAX's mother to a greater extent. Not only is it more mature and gentle, but also in the subsequent appearance of KW to let MAX get into his body. This setting and that shot strongly imply that MAX was conceived from KW's body. When MAX left, he only hugged KW.
When MAX failed to successfully build a home, the companions of the Beast Kingdom began to question MAX and said that he was not the king. Facing such doubts, Carol was very excited, even more excited than MAX himself, he even violently ripped off his companions. The arm, and then wanted to eat MAX like a madman, which means that MAX cannot accept in real life that he is about to lose the recognition and companions he finally got.
But everything has to come to an end, and MAX finally decided to leave the beast country and return to the world he always wanted to escape but couldn't really escape. The animals in the Beast Kingdom did not persuade him to stay because this world may have been imagined by MAX himself. Once he decides to return to reality, no one can stop him.
When boarding the boat, MAX couldn't stop looking for Carol. At this time, Carol was struggling in the cave, and finally rushed out of the beach, crying farewell to MAX, until only the white spot in the sea was left in his eyes. There are tears here, so tears, really tears.
It was not until MAX returned to the city and ran for home that happy music appeared in the whole movie, which also means that MAX yearned for family and affection, and it was no longer the neglect and blame of his family who greeted him, but his mother. hugs and loving eyes.
All emotions can be comforted, all experiences can be grown.
OK, if you don't have time to read the above, it can be summed up in one sentence: You have passed the age of avoiding the kingdom of fairy tales, so in the face of loneliness and setbacks, you can only choose to be strong, or find someone to "vent", I mean unhappy .
