Am I overinterpreting it? exactly!
All the students who are trained in Chinese courses in the Chinese education system have a strong ability to over-interpret. Maybe it's just a random sentence, but it has been given special meaning by the language teacher and the question maker. And this film will also be over-interpreted by the author and given special meaning.
Most of the film is about the war between black ants and red ants for sugar cubes. During this period, there are many naval battles, land battles, stronghold offensive and defensive battles, and the use of weapons of mass destruction, which is very lively. It is not difficult to see what the black ants and red ants refer to. The Black Ant's stronghold is an ancient fortress, which symbolizes Britain and France as the center of world civilization and represents the Allied forces. The red ant's stronghold, with straight lines and rigorous structure, has the characteristics of Germany, a large industrial empire, and it is easy to be reminiscent of the Nazis. Well, this red-and-black war actually represented the war between the Allies and the Axis powers for resources during World War II.
However, the protagonist of the movie is the ladybug. He is a lonely little person who was abandoned by his family and bullied by mosquitoes, and his life experience can be inferred from the dreams produced by his sleep and coma several times. By chance, he discovered the candy box that became the focus of the war, and thus met the leader of the Black Ant Alliance and became friends with him. The little man was involved in a war that was not his. When the black ant stronghold was besieged by the red ants, the ladybug resolutely rushed out of the siege to find the key matchbox for the war.
In the process, he discovers another ladybug of the same kind as him, and seeing her is like seeing himself. After the baptism of war, he decisively challenged the mosquitoes who had bullied him and defeated them. In the end, he successfully brought back the match, which controlled the battle.
At the end of the film, the little ladybug returns to peace, and he and she live a good life. The ladybug and the ant stood on the top of the mountain where they looked at the moon and the sky together before the war, admiring the sunset, as if the war had never happened, but the friendship between the two was even deeper.
The movie uses insects to anthropomorphize. The smoke of war and love in troubled times are the most common themes in such films. The soundtrack of the film, the symphony is majestic, and the military music is high-pitched and passionate. If you just close your eyes and listen, it is hard not to equate this film with a war film. And speaking about his participation in the war from the perspective of a small person and an outsider is the most used routine for those classic European and American war films.
It is often said that a thousand people have a thousand Hamlets. But in fact, there is only one Hamlet written by Shakespeare, and the remaining 999 Hamlets are forcibly interpreted by readers and audiences. Everyone always loves to apply their own experience, experience, and independent thinking to the people and things in the works, so that the characters and stories originally created by the author become the people and stories created by themselves. This is what I call "excessive interpretation".
