The boxtrolls--beyond the craftsmanship

After watching boxtrolls, my mind is full of naked boxtrolls shaking little buttocks...... It's really cute that I have a nosebleed. How to describe this feeling of being cute? In addition to the intuitive visual impact brought to you by the appearance (if it is reasonable to only look at the appearance, the box monster is really not cute except using the box to make clothes~), and further, it is a harmless little naughty with a childish temperament. , like the little sister next door who always likes to sneak out to pat you and hide with a smile. Going a step further, it is the kindness and bravery that shines from the heart, dazzling and gentle, so powerful that even the wrinkles on the forehead look so cute.
So when those timid people who are so timid that they hide in the box even when the other party speaks out loud, to protect the people they love, they leave the box they have worn all their lives and jump out bare buttocks one by one, I am so cute in my heart The point of defense has completely collapsed. Looking at such box monsters, I always think of human beings. Internal and external factors, large and small, have created various rules and regulations around us, and finally we have our own "box". The box is so safe and comfortable, no matter if you are sad or scared, you just need to shrink in.
So when will we have the kind of courage to take off the box in broad daylight and jump naked in front of people to pursue our hearts?
And the "villain" in the movie is also lovable and lovely. The two box catchers, one thin and one fat, are golden partners. Adhere to his "morality", and from time to time he will discuss whether his "credibility" is really correct, and discuss philosophical issues from time to time, such as, "Hey. Do you think the Box Monster knows what justice and evil are?" "Hey .Do you think we are the real monsters?" Such "fanatics", even if they go astray for a while, but because they insist on their own creeds and reflect on themselves from time to time, they are harmless and lovable in the end.
Even the conspiracy master boss "Red Hat" is just a poor man driven by his own inner obsession. Unwilling to live in a dilapidated factory, and firmly believing that "no one will pay attention to your pain and needs, you can only work hard to become stronger and find a way out", is it not like everyone who is struggling in his life's future. people.
The only shortcoming of this movie, in my opinion, is that the character setting of each character is vivid, while the protagonist seems a bit bleak. The craftsmanship of stop-motion animation can be praised, but if I say that this movie does not have a good story, I will naturally be unconvinced. At least the characters do not have an absolute "good and evil" distinction, the story can be deep or shallow, suitable for different age groups to watch, in my opinion, it has been called a good story.

    It should be the best stop-motion animation film made this year. Fairy Tale and Black Strange, or produced by LAIKA, stop-motion animation is about to be contracted by you.

    Watching "The Box Monster" has a familiar look and feel. The sarcasm and joy in stop-motion animation is similar to that of China's "The Story of Avanti", but now we not only stop moving forward, but stop-motion animation is like ink animation. China has been silent for a long time, but this most primitive way of film animation is still blooming with its own unique charm.

The Boxtrolls quotes

  • Archibald Snatcher: When I destroy every last Boxtroll in this town, I shall EARN my white hat, and join you in the Tasting Room.

    Lord Portley-Rind: [facetiously] Good Lord! I don't know who should be more terrified: the Boxtrolls or us.

  • Archibald Snatcher: [as Madame Frou-Frou, singing, verse 1] Ten years ago a plot was hatched, Where evil was with cunning matched. Whoever left their doors unlatched, Would find their infant children snatched by Boxtrolls. Ooh, no, Boxtrolls!

    Archibald Snatcher: [verse 2] Trubshaw Senior loved his kid, The same as regular fathers did. If you don't want to share his plight, Make sure that you are locked up tight from Boxtrolls!

    Archibald Snatcher: [verse 3] For this night, baby's dad Trubshaw, Quite forgot to lock the door. And as soon as he began to snore, The Boxtrolls came in to withdraw poor baby! Those vile Boxtrolls!

    Archibald Snatcher: [verse 4] So lock your windows, bolt your doors, or Boxtrolls with their creepy claws, Will take your children in their paws, And drag them down to feed their jaws. Boxtrolls!

    Archibald Snatcher: [verse 5] Mr. Trubshaw went quite wild, When he found out he'd lost his child. He did what any dad would do. He ran off swiftly to pursue those Boxtrolls!

    Archibald Snatcher: [verse 6] Help, help, help me, please, won't you? But the Boxtrolls did what Boxtrolls do. They snatched him up and began to chew, Until there was no residue of Trubshaw's.

    Archibald Snatcher: [verse 7] They pulled him down into their nest, Hardly pausing to digest. They left his bones, but ate the rest. Never be a dinner guest of Boxtrolls. Oh, those Boxtrolls!

    Archibald Snatcher: [verse 8] So that's the story of the Trubshaw Kid. Don't do what Father Trubshaw did. If you see Boxtrolls don't placate them, Catch them and exterminate them- the Boxtrolls! Kill those Boxtrolls! Kill those Boxtrolls! Kill those Boxtrolls!
