Pixar launched "Toy Story" in 1995, "Toy Story 2" in 1999, and today, 11 years later, Pixar launched "Toy Story 3". To be honest, I can't remember the plot of the first two films, and I don't seem to have read the whole second part, but I may not have read a lot of content more than ten years ago, just like I may be missing it now. But I still try to keep my feelings down.
The theme of the film is also how the toys as always should face the fate of being replaced and abandoned. As Andy grows up and doesn't play with his childhood toy buddies for a long time, and Andy is leaving for college, the toys feel lost, inevitably thinking about their future lives, spending the rest of their lives in the attic, and comforting each other. I thought at the time that it was as if we were about to retire, so we had to adjust our mentality and try to be positive and optimistic.
The toys were sent to the Sunshine Kindergarten because of a misunderstanding, and everyone was willing to stay there. Only Woody was determined to leave. He wanted to return to Andy. Andy is his master, and following the master is his Faith, he eventually left alone. Choosing to stick to it is really a difficult decision, even if you know you will go through hardships, even if you know you can choose to give up, I think this is a responsibility, a commitment to your love and those who love you, marriage, parenting, relatives, all you need is The power of that commitment.
However, the plot took a sharp turn. Sunshine Kindergarten had no sunshine, only darkness. The big bear controlled all the toys with fear and violence, and established a hierarchical toy society. The new toys could only go to the caterpillar home to be tortured by naughty children. They were imprisoned in the cell at night and had no freedom. Big Bear even said officially: "For the stability and harmony of the whole kindergarten, the new toy must bear the responsibility of being tortured". Buzz Lightyear was wiped out of his memory and became a violent tool for Big Bear. One of the lines he said to the big bear was also very interesting. It was roughly: "Don't worry, sir, I have been brainwashed in the military school." There is a bit of irony about the war. This story makes me think that these toys leave Andy like a person stepping into the society to survive independently, to face the reality and cruelty of the society, full of inequality and exploitation. And a society that classifies people seems to be returning to a slave society, where some people live only to be enslaved by others.
Woody was lucky enough to be brought home by the little girl Bonnie, and felt the happy time he had with Andy, but when he knew the dark side of Sunshine Kindergarten, he resolutely decided to go back to rescue his partner, even if it was a toy hell. Woody and his friends made a perfect escape plan, interspersed with the magical figure of the potato husband and the funny Spanish model of Buzz Lightyear (which echoes the proud Spanish pair of the World Cup in South Africa). The plan went smoothly until the "telephone toy" came to an end. The phone toy is like an ordinary person who can't escape in the real world and can only bear the burden of humiliation and survive. His kindness made him provide Woody with information about his escape, but he would betray it in order to survive, because not everyone in the world is like Woody. strong.
Looking at the garbage truck from far and near, the big bear threatened Andy and his friends to disarm and surrender, returned to the Sunshine Kindergarten, and predicted: Even if you go out, you will be a toy that no one wants, only worthy of being in the company of garbage! And beautiful cowgirl Jesse's eloquent words are truly heart-wrenching: "I'd rather rot in the trash than be your slave!" Free or die! This is the value of American toys, and many children of the Chinese Dynasty would rather live like walking dead. Slavery has been implanted in their hearts, and freedom is just a glossy word.
Jesse also said a lot: accusing the big bear of relying on violence to maintain the rule, insisting that the power of the ruler comes from the giving of the ruled. To be honest, hearing these great principles of democratic politics from the mouth of a toy cowgirl still makes me smile a little. But thank you for this cartoon, otherwise the leaders of the great General Administration of Light (with the prejudice that cartoons are seen by children) would not let the evil universal values of freedom and democracy of US imperialism enter the theater of the Celestial Empire carelessly. . Also: Pixar chose to have Jesse, not Woody, say this highly incendiary statement, and I think it's also a tribute to women's equal courage to fight oppression.
There is also a small episode here. Kenny, who loves Barbie dolls, chose love instead of life, resolutely gave up the power of the ruling class and threw himself into Barbie's arms, and said something very philosophical: "In my eyes, you are mine. The only one." This sentence is diametrically opposed to the reproducibility of toys, and also implies the theme that everyone should find themselves. Of course, Pixar didn't forget to satirize Kenny's hedonism for material life and his costume addiction that he would rather confess than to restrain. Many MMs should resonate with him.
As the giant toy baby angrily threw the bear into the trash, declaring that the failure of the ruling class must begin to collapse from the inside, Woody and his partners finally defeated the bear, and freedom was at hand. But the dying bear grabs Andy's leg, and the buddies head back to the dump with Woody.
The garbage dump, in the test of life and death, once again showed the great friendship between Andy and his partners, indicating that human beings often face disasters before the glorious beauty of human nature blooms. Faced with the huge melting pot, Woody and his partners slowly and inevitably slide towards death, and until this moment, they have not given up the greatest quality of human beings: bravery. Everyone held hands and faced the coming of death calmly and quietly until the moment when the miracle happened. God always gives us hope, doesn't he?
The two scenes that touched me the most were both in this episode: 1. After the big bear was saved by Andy, he still chose to betray and put everyone to death. 2. After escaping from death, the partners are full of resentment towards the big bear. At this time, Woody said something to the effect: "Forget him, he will get what he deserves."
The first scene told me: the darkness of human nature is terrible, even if you try hard, he will still be stubborn. The choice of Betrayal and Hurt, this world is not an animated movie.
The second scene taught me that the only effective way to overcome hatred is to forget hatred. Hate is like poison, remember it will only torture you forever, revenge is powerful, but it also destroys your own beautiful life. In order to live a happy life, wise people will choose to let hatred drift with the wind...
These two scenes are like light and darkness coexisting in the world, and our hearts must always face the choice of good and evil.
As an animated film, the most moving quality is that there will always be a HAPPY ENDING. Woody and his friends were gifted by Andy to the kind little girl Bonnie (in fact, this is also Woody's choice for himself, and his fate is sometimes in his own hands). Human tears, Andy stated with gratitude that every toy brought him childhood memories, once again and last time happily playing with his friends with Bonnie, the warm background music and the use of slow motion, let Touching and nostalgic fill my heart. I think this episode is the best commemoration for all the post-80s who grew up watching the "Toy Story" trilogy.
All the good things in human beings: kindness, bravery, love, friendship, family affection, commitment, unity, tolerance, mutual trust, pursuit of freedom, never giving up... All vividly displayed in this 100-minute animated film, the more precious It was Pixar who conveyed it to us in a humorous and lighthearted way. Thank you to the friends who read the article here, please forgive my clueless Rory, I just want to express my feelings about this film too much.
I wish all adults would go to the cinema to watch this movie seriously, instead of stubbornly thinking that cartoons are for children. The biggest charm of cartoons is that they can perfectly combine the innocence of children with the wisdom of adults. This is a realm of life, and it is also the kind of person I strive to become - a mature, intelligent and child-like curiosity. man, an interesting one.
