Write in front
Hi everyone, I'm Sheng Sheng Bu Xi.
At this moment, my dog is pressing his short, thick, and fat back close to my leg, and he is sleeping soundly and steamingly.
Recently, it likes this position very much, blowing on the air conditioner and leaning against the owner, so cute and pleasant, it almost makes me forget the potential of demolition in the dog's body.
In my life, the time spent with dogs occupies 2/3. I am familiar with their every move, as if I am familiar with my own breathing.
Of course, if you have a naughty pet, you can probably feel deeply about what true love and killing is every day.
However, when I go out, I often miss it. If a child with long hair is at home, what will it do and what will it think about?
This is probably the psychology that all shit shovelers will develop, and it has also become a prerequisite for the popularity of "The Secret Life of Pets".
01
I still remember the sensation caused during the release of "The Secret Life of Pets" in 2016. Those pets living in the red apartments in New York surprised and accurately poke every cute spot in the audience.
For example, the noble and glamorous poodle in front of the owner actually likes heavy metal roaring rock;
Sister Pomeranian, who is as beautiful and cute as a snowball, actually has a brave moment of going crazy and crazy;
There is also the cat Bingbing who steals food from the refrigerator, and his tangled eyes restore the weight of you and me...
In short, the cute and contrasting images of the pets made the movie applauded as soon as it was released.
When we see in the movie, they also have their own social circle, they can chat, hold parties, love adventures, and even fight for love. The smile on their faces is kind of kind.
So at the end of the movie, I always felt that I was still not enough, and I wanted to go home as soon as possible to accompany my Mao child.
After all, in the movie, Max’s most important thing every day is to sincerely wait for his master to return from a trip.
Compared with the first part, the multi-line narrative attempt of "The Secret Life of Pets 2" is not very successful, but fortunately, the children are still full of cuteness and the core of the story is still relaxed and warm. It is still worth watching.
02
The film is divided into three story lines.
What is the opportunity for a person (a dog) to grow instantly?
The answer is, give TA a child.
The first story line of the film revolves around this.
In the first part, through a series of adventures, Max learned to live in harmony with Du Boss and share the love of the master together, and in the second part, they once again welcomed a new family member.
The Lord gave birth to a young master, and Max has since started a painstakingly "bringing baby" life.
Max said at the beginning of the film that he doesn't like children.
It looks at the pets who play with the baby in the pet park, and really feels sympathy for them.
In fact, the arrival of his own little master has indeed brought about a huge change in Max's life.
He is really naughty. He would hit Max on the head with candy, hold his tail tightly, and chase him all over the room...
In short, in the beginning, in Max's opinion, children really hated him, and the little master was simply a little devil, and he was tortured so much that he didn't want to live.
Until one day, the little master suddenly gave it a hug and said happily:
I love you, Max!
At that moment, Max's heart melted.
For the little master, it began to change from resistance to acceptance, and it even spewed deep love and responsibility from this, and involuntarily shouldered the arduous mission of protecting him.
When the family goes out for a walk, it will nervously follow the little master and help the little master remove all potential dangers.
After pulling the little master away from the telephone pole again, Max asked Boss Du in fright:
Has this world been so perilous all the time?
This is probably the meaning of growth.
If there is no small master, Max will not realize that the world is big, colorful and dangerous. It needs to become stronger in order to protect the one he loves.
Later, Max met the sheepdog Rust in the country.
It is a real strong man, tall and majestic, able to give orders to cattle and sheep, but also to protect the safety of all animals on the farm without fear of danger.
Max admired it, and jealous of it a little awkwardly.
Coming to nature in the wild for the first time from the cozy apartment, Max is like a clumsy rookie, revealing the unique fragility of pet dogs, not wild, and even less courageous.
It was not allowed to sleep in the house for the first time, and could not fall asleep over and over on the grass at night, and was frightened by the wild animals that appeared at night.
And Rust is like those unsmiling teachers around us, not good at words, and lonely with a little pride.
The film does not tell the story of Rust when he was a child. As soon as it appeared on the scene, it was already an imposing farm guard.
I guess, when it saw Max, who was timid and incompetent, it probably also remembered what it used to be. That's why it carefully guided Max to find the lost lamb, half-forced and half-encouraging him to send him to the cliff to rescue, and At the very moment, he slammed it onto the land.
After this "catastrophe", Max finally took the first brave step and had a highlight moment worth showing off.
With the friendship from birth to death, Max and Rust became closer invisibly.
Under the full moon, it followed Uncle Lu and raised its head high, using the power of its belly to make a long cry, looking for its forgotten nature.
Max, who returned from the country, did indeed have a bit more boldness and courage that he did not have before.
Wearing the scarf given to him by Rust, he no longer pretends to be a pet dog, and has learned to face the crisis.
03
The second story line of the film focuses on the most popular and most contrasting rabbit Xiaobai.
At the end of the first part, Xiaobai, a human being, was domesticated instantly because of a little girl's hug and petting, and turned into a completely cute rabbit, leading a comfortable and comfortable pet life.
The violent factor nowhere in its body has also evolved into a blood of justice, so that every time it puts on that set of superhero pajamas, it starts to dream about saving the world.
God seemed to hear its voice, so he gave Xiaobai an unparalleled huge challenge——
Rescue the little tiger imprisoned in the circus.
With the help of the Shih Tzu Daisy, Xiao Bai put on his "battle suit", brainstorming a heroic rescue of the United States, and came to the circus majesticly.
However, it soon discovered that there was a huge gap between reality and imagination.
He is just a weak rabbit, and the enemy on the opposite side is a group of wolves who are as fierce as the owner.
It was so frightened that it was peeing, stumbled and rushed, and finally, with the help of Daisy, was able to successfully escape from the circus.
I think after this catastrophe, Xiaobai should also face his own abilities more seriously and understand the importance of win-win cooperation.
The third story line is still Hiromi Tweet's emotional drama with Max.
As a pampering white and rich beauty with a sauna mask, Tweet Tweet has a deep love for Max.
In the first part, the scene in which it violently beats a hairless cat in order to find a boyfriend is the best model for a savage girlfriend in the pet world.
When it came to this one, Chu Chu accidentally dropped the toy ball "Little Bee" that Max had handed over to her for safekeeping, and fell into the gathering place of dozens of cats.
In order to get the little bee back, Chiu Chiu once again showed admirable wit and courage.
He went to Cat Bingbing for help and learned how to be an elegant cat.
As a result, we saw the "cat" tweeting wearing a cat's hairpin and wearing socks on his tail. After a series of training, we went to the cat group alone and "caught the little red dot" with a deep understanding of the cat's psychology. Successfully incarnate the cat of the day, and reap the surrender and worship of the cats.
At the end of the film, Chiu Chiu successfully led the cat army and rescued her boyfriend Max once again.
Such a high-looking, bold and daring Bai Fumei, who can work hard for love, may I ask who would not like it?
04
Although on the whole, the three clues of the film did not fit together very harmoniously, fortunately, the wiring of the early stage was integrated at the end.
Max, Xiaobai and Tweet, the power of the group, successfully rescued the little tiger, which ignited the climax of the whole film, from which we can feel the innocent courage and friendship, unity and cooperation, and then ushered in a happy ending.
In terms of portrayal, "The Secret Life of Pets 2" is still a movie that can evoke broad resonance.
Whether it is the delicate and realistic style of painting, or the vivid expression of the various habits of cats and dogs, the majority of pet lovers sigh from the bottom of their hearts:
This is not my hairy child!
In addition, the film also has a core theme that seems obscure, but in fact runs through it throughout:
Love.
In the first part, Xiaobai hates humans because it was domesticated and abandoned.
Even so, when it felt the warm embrace of human beings full of love again, it still couldn't help but put away the thorns all over its body. It forgot all revenge and confrontation, and became happy and turned into a one that was despised by itself thousands of times. Pets.
This is probably the innocence unique to animals.
A touch, a hug, even if he has suffered unscrupulous abuse and abandonment before, he still can't resist the kindness that comes on his face, turning into a soft and cute little girl.
In the second part, even though Max said that he hated children, he was still stiff at the end:
I still hate children, but I just like this child in my family.
I don't know if Max realizes that the emotion that makes oneself hard and soft is the love on which we humans depend.
Love allows people to accompany each other, guard each other, and remain loyal.
Just like at the end, when Max looked at the little master who staggered into the kindergarten, the words in his mind:
You don't know what will happen in the future, but you have two choices: Either escape or face it bravely. And I will always be brave and take him to see this vast, crazy but colorful world.
How many people are faintly admiring these cute pets while watching the joy and warmth of the movie?
Compared with the complex adult world, the feelings of animals and children are purer and simpler. Because of this simplicity, we can tolerate the flaws of the film and watch the end with a smile throughout the whole process.
The friendly world without treacherousness, temptation, and no betrayal is really too desirable and too heartbreaking:
If the host is out, then stand at the door carefully and wait for her to return home;
If the owner lays on the bed, he jumps up to step on her belly, and then vomits a fresh dead mouse like a favor;
If the owner is unhappy, then lie down quietly at her feet, or lick the tears on her face;
Every toy that the owner gives to himself must be carefully preserved;
When dealing with your companions, you are usually noisy, but you still have to spare no effort to help at critical moments. What kind of species are different, and the personality is not compatible. All stand aside...
Look, the animal world has no deception, let alone utilitarianism and prejudice. Once the owner and partner are identified, they must be loyal to each other for a lifetime.
Faced with these little furry lives, we can understand more quickly what is responsibility, what is trust, and what is needed, and we are ready to melt in those cute eyes at any time.
In the days of living with them, we will slowly learn to wait and give, understanding and patience, so that in the process of healing and being healed, with full of optimism and kindness, we will welcome all the happy, sad, and indispensable. An elusive and mysterious future.
Life is hard. If there is such a period of time, we can let go of worries, let go of pressure, and concentrate on company and play. At least at that moment, we are as pure as them.
In order to live up to the worship and trust of Mao's children, we as masters must strive to become better people.
