Tribute to classic film noir and B-rated films

I really dare not talk about this topic. Disney symbolizes the beautiful innocence, the sunshine, and the horror films and film noirs, right? But I can't help but say that many of the details in the movie "Toy Story" borrowed classic sections from film noir or B-level films to enrich the story. Let me tell you in detail, saying that it was a summer weekend twelve years ago. I watched this movie in a movie theater near my home. At that time, I was young and the pictures were so beautiful that I was stunned. , The ups and downs of the plot, the vivid characters and the touching and sensational story I am in a mess. It is worth mentioning that the dubbing of the upper translation is the icing on the cake, and the joy of watching the movie feels unforgettable. Recently, it coincided with the rebroadcast of this classic on the movie channel "A Good Date" section. I was able to revisit the movie again and was surprised to find that after many years, there are still many interesting elements in the movie that were not discovered in the past. When I watched the movie again, I felt so familiar and kind, like chatting with an old friend I haven't seen for many years, and reminiscing about the past together. Combined with the current movie experience, it turns out that this film contains so many movie elements and bridges from horror films and B-level films. As for the character "Buzz Lightyear", the directors cleverly borrowed the prototypes of many classic black science fiction movies and treated him as a memory that was instilled by toy manufacturers as a hero to save the galaxy universe, but not at all. Knowing your true identity is just a toy. The concept of character setting like this can be found in the science fiction films "The Sixth Day", "Universe Dragon", and "Blade Runner". Fans of B-level films and horror films may wish to pay attention, and I believe that after watching, everyone will smile knowingly like me, and amaze the editors and directors for their imagination and bold creative spirit. I don't want to use the word "spoof" because the borrowing here is full of love and wisdom. When Woody and Buzz Lightyear broke into the room of Tong Ashe, the child who abused toys, the big thorny baby in the room was simply the Q version of "Raising Ghosts and Eating People"; the big green hands in the box When crawling forward, you will find the same scene in "Man Playing with Ghosts"; the idea of ​​removing various parts of other toys and then splicing them together abnormally is believed to have come from the horror film "Live Jumping Corpse"; When Woody warned Axue not to harm the toy, the sudden 360-degree head rotation was obviously imitating the classic horror scene of the little girl in "The Exorcist." Of course, there are many such small details in the film, I will not list them all here, waiting for everyone to discover and have fun together. What’s interesting is that when the directors put these rather obscure and dark elements from B-level movies, horror movies or black science fiction movies in this movie, the chemical reactions they get are so interesting. , So full of childish and sensational. Sweeping away the unique obscurity and gloom of noir movies, not only makes the horrible plot less rigid and acceptable to the children, but also achieves the perfect effect of panicking and laughing in the second. Like this film, the creative technique of adding black elements to animated films, I believe that this film is not only the first of its kind, but also a relatively successful case. It reminds me that the staff of the creative team behind "Toy Story" must be a group of diehard fans of B-level movies and horror movies. It is estimated that even if Quentin Tarantino were asked to direct this film, it was just such an effect (laughs).

Classic works always have infinite vitality. They will grow with you over time. You will have different gains at any stage of your life to taste them.

    Woody is down-to-earth, but always worried about being abandoned; Buzz Lightyear fantasizes about flying into the universe to be a superhero every day, but he is sensitive and fragile; the toy that the rabble gives up judgment, the toy that looks fierce and kind-hearted... The shaping of characters and groups is all about It's so alive, it looks more and more like the real world.
