The most exciting scene in the film is the scene when a few elves turn into colorful hair and decorate the girl who was originally inferior and unhappy, making it glow with a new color of life. Not only the prince on the opposite side will be moved by it, but anyone who feels inferior, fearful and escaping in life will be moved by this scene. This ordinary dishwashing girl actually carries the simple vision of many real people.
The story of the film comes from a "tragedy" caused by a legend. Legend has it that the Bogan clan can only be happy by eating the magic-haired elves, so the burly Bogan clan imprisoned the short magic-haired elves and imprisoned their tree of life in a cage. This legend, which seems to be able to guide the Bogan people to happiness, is actually the magic spell that guides them to block their happiness. And only when the closed cage is broken and the tree of life is reborn, will their happiness truly come.
The film says that happiness comes from everyone's heart. In fact, the tree of life is like people's hearts. Only by opening their hearts can they enjoy the joys of singing, hugging, and dancing. If you can't open your heart, you will be as numb as the Bognat people who walk blindly on the street, you will be like a young prince who is in a high position but have no interest in life, and you will be filled with revenge like a villainous chef. Even the trolls who lost their color couldn't open their hearts to others because they were trapped in the abyss where their grandmother died. And when he reopened his heart, opened his arms, and opened his voice, his life was given color again.
From the plot point of view, the first half of the film is relatively young, and the second half is more adult-like. In the first half, the evil of the Bognat and the happiness of the elves form a binary opposition, and the long-term singing and dancing life after the elves find a new residence also shows the effect of lack of conflict and purely visual symbols. But since the elves returned to the Bognat kingdom to save people and began to have a relationship with the Bognans, the film has shown the characteristics of adulthood. Deals began to appear - if you did anything for me, I'd help you, and betrayals began to appear - a genie reversed as a betrayal, and was not rescued until the end. The duality of opposition has been completely broken, and good people have begun to emerge from bad people, and bad people have begun to emerge from good people.
This is a feature that has been shown in many animations recently. Use childlike language to bring into the plot, and then gradually add adultness. The same goes for Zootopia. Entering the game with a child's stage performance, and the rabbit's simple dream of becoming a police officer, once you enter the zoo, it is a complete adult world.
When watching the film, we also found some characteristics of the audience's acceptance, that is, the children in the first half of the film are more accepting, while the adults in the second half are more involved. Adults may be a little sleepy about the previous plot, while children may be slightly puzzled by the latter plot. This kind of family carnival model is simply to mix and match the two groups representing the underage and the adult, and then let the group representing the underage change the group representing the adult. It's just that "Trolls" relies on bright magic hair and rich music to interpret this kind of ethnic carnival quite well.
In addition, this film is also a relatively rare song and dance film in DreamWorks Animation, and it can still give people a bright feeling.
