A qualified popcorn movie, the main purpose of this movie is to be happy and relaxed. Coupled with good movie special effects, the shapes of several guinea pigs are also very cute. As for the human characters, they can almost be ignored. The film is also accompanied by a little anxiety about monopoly companies. When everyone's CPU is Intel, everyone's operating system is Windows, when a certain commodity is monopolized by a certain company globally, It may not be a fantasy one day when your coffee machine suddenly jumps out to show its teeth and claws at you.
Today is an age of creativity, and a good idea can easily take on a huge amount of life at the right time. Especially when the level of technology can keep up today, animation should be regarded as the category of movies that can benefit most from the development of technology. From 2D to 3D, then to 2, 3D combination, and finally evolved into the current combination of animation and real people. Although this idea has existed for a long time, and Roger Rabbit has successfully tested the water in the historical environment at that time, but only in today's technology, can we completely let our imaginations go, and truly realize it, only if we can't think of it, but we can't do it. The chubby guinea pig can also earnestly take Mission Impossible, and from the hair to the expression, it is vivid, and it is not inferior to the real person in the same picture. Watching this kind of movie, I am really grateful that I was born in today's information technology, The advancement of the times, after all, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
In Hollywood, "Saving the Earth and Humanity" is a major topic that is often said and often new. There are "abnormal humans" with special functions, such as Superman, Batman, Spiderman, etc.; Resolute "basically normal humans", such as Schwarzenegger, Stallone, Will Smith, etc.; there are "completely non-human" who appear out of nowhere, such as Autobot in "Transformers" Humans, intelligent creatures under the sea in "Abyss", alien visitors in "The Day the Earth Stood Still", etc., and this time there are a few powerful guinea pigs, and even a buzzing fly, don't underestimate This fly is an intelligence expert who enjoys "government subsidies".
It is such a bunch of fluffy and noisy animals that have actually accomplished tasks that humans could not accomplish. They can eavesdrop, fight, computer, and even talk about love. Anyway, they can do what humans can, and they can do what humans can't. It is precisely because they are very small but "complete with five internal organs", they are in harmony with "giant". "The contrast between the human beings is huge, which has a strong comedy effect, making you helpless, but unable to pick on the thorns. You can only have fun and make trouble with these guys. Even if you feel a little bored in your heart, you have to comfort yourself: This is an entertainment movie. . For most fans who have been immersed in the film world for many years, such films may not be able to impress their tempered nerves, but they have to follow the film and grin. This is the genius of Hollywood animation films, because they have already The number is right on this vein. In the field of animated films, Hollywood has formed a first-class assembly line production model. As long as the script is not too lackluster and supported by powerful special effects technology, it will basically not miss. Don't forget that there are sometimes star voices to attract customers. For example, this film has familiar faces such as Nicolas Cage, Penelope Cruz and Steve Busmi behind the scenes. This is equivalent to double insurance for the film.
Not to mention the special effects of "Guinea Pig Special Forces". The protagonists such as guinea pigs, hamsters, and weasels are all vivid and naive, their expressions are varied, and their hair is slender. They are extremely delicate and very pleasing. Throughout the story, the guinea pigs have a professional attitude as agents, a sincere friendship with human friends, a sense of responsibility to maintain a "good situation of stability and unity", brotherhood, love, and even jealousy, basically what There are all of them. The elements in live-action films can be found effortlessly in this film. Of course, the indispensable gags to please the audience can be seen everywhere. But such a movie that "thinks what the audience thinks, and is anxious about what the audience is anxious" to please the audience in an all-round way, after laughing, I always feel that there is something wrong. Because the writers and directors did not dig into the relationship between the characters and the hearts of the characters, they could not arouse more resonance in the hearts of the viewers. I didn't expect to show more things. Perhaps entertainment to a certain extent is the producer of this film. The biggest goal, that's all. Of course, if it is a young person, there will be no such idea of ​​looking for trouble. What I mean is that, as most movie fans with rich movie viewing experience, "Guinea Pigs" is just for entertainment, it will never have the look and feel of "WALL-E" and "Flying House", Not even as good as 20th Century Fox's "Ice Age", the point is that the writers and directors didn't tell the story with the heart, it's obvious.
As the main producer of "Guinea Pigs", the Walt Disney Company is the leader in the history of animated films. This animation has contributed to "Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck", "Snow White" and other cartoons that are popular all over the world. In the movie empire, there has been no good work since The Lion King. If it weren't for the strong injection of Pixar's 3D technology, it would be hard to say who would win in the competition with new 3D animation companies such as DreamWorks and 20th Century Fox. In the split and combined with Pixar, Pixar became better and stronger, so that in the competition for the animation market, Disney left Pixar almost to the point of being stretched and had to "kidnap" Pixar. If you put aside the economic interests factor, this has to be said to be a kind of sadness in Disney's honor. The reason, I think, lies in the fact that Disney is too big and does not want to make progress. Because Disney, a huge empire, has too many products, it is difficult to focus on pure animation production like Pixar, but any animation without Pixar's participation is not satisfactory. , even the "Four-Eyed Chicken", which has achieved good results, can only comfort himself. Although the current field of animation is the world of 3D, but the plane animation is not completely inactive, Japanese animation is a vivid example. In addition to technical reasons, the key is that Pixar always tells stories with heart, just like a real painter, Pixar paints with all his energy, and pursues handed down works that can sell for big prices, and there is no Disney without Pixar. Suddenly he became a painter, producing assembly-line products just for selling money. "Guinea Pig Team" is such a painting that can sell for money, and it still stays at the level of a painter, not a masterpiece of a master.
Cute is a word with terrifying lethal power these days. As long as the image is cute and ingenious, you can exit silently without even bowing if you are sorry for the connotation. Let's think about it, what group is the most lovable? Girls and children, or a combination of the two, little girls. And when a little girl who pursues cuteness walks into the theater, 90% of the time she has to be accompanied by a sidekick who thinks she is cute, regardless of whether it is a suitor or a parent. Thinking about it like this, I sincerely praise Jiang for being old and hot, and Wali is good-looking, but he is a robot after all. No matter how simple, kind, and naive he is, he can be more energetic than our guinea pig. Ass, not to mention these little guys have a clear division of labor and full personality. There are good young captains who are inferior to self-confidence, young men who are hot-blooded and able to play tricks, charming, slender and caring petty bourgeois women, and finally a traditional stupid child of grass-roots civilians. Completed, several original types of juvenile comics have been gathered, and everyone should be able to find their own fan mouse. What a shrewd packaging, a cute appearance, a distinct and simple personality, uncomplicated and well-spoken character relationships, and a stylish career setting. It is estimated that before long, Disney Castle will have a theme park with cute guinea pigs. But when we calmed down and peeled off this lovely skin and looked closely at the story, all I found were two clear characters: vulgar. In fact, the stories of Wall-E, Flying House, and the Lion King of Egypt are not complicated. The problem is that there is no novelty, no novelty at all. All the passages, all the developments, we can basically recognize them in our own minds. I believe that the screenwriter of this film must be very comfortable, because he basically does not need to edit, just copy it well, and finally use the replace function to change the character name, which is basically OK. That is to say, this work does not make good use of the difference between guinea pigs and humans, and completely personifies the size, living habits, concerns, etc. Or it can't be called anthropomorphism, but it's just a mouse-shaped change of people. From this point alone, he is much less enterprising than seniors like Cat and Dog Wars.
"Guinea Pig Special Forces" is very relaxing and entertaining to watch, but it is a movie that can be finished after watching it. It is not infectious. The description of the story is superficial. The film is almost useless. If you're a kid, it's a good movie, if you're an adult, it's just a movie, a second-rate movie with first-rate images.
