How to Train Your Dragon: A Nordic Symphony for Three Emotions

Chris 2022-04-22 07:01:03

There are three emotions in the movie:
The first is the distance between humans and other species. Humans always advertise themselves as the most advanced animals. In order to maintain our dignity, we are always hostile to other species, and even go to massacres. For them, the heinous degree of this invisible strangulation transcends the violence of war. Because we are emotionally different from other species, language barrier. Therefore, those of us who are higher always sacrifice all the lower ones, but do not know how to repent.
The Boke Island where Hiccup lives is like this. They have inherited the cause of dragon slaughter since their ancestors, and this dragon slaughter has slowly evolved to the ambition of slaughtering them. With the years, they are slowly released and publicized. Hiccup's father is such a person. He has been looking for the dragon's lair, but he has failed again and again, but Hiccup is a rebellious teenager. He does not have the concept of dragon slaying spirit in his mind. The spirit did not burn in his heart, and he became a fool. But Hiccup has always been eager to slay the dragon. He wanted to prove himself, so he fired a shot at the phantom-like mysterious dragon. Who knows, so far, he accidentally hit the dragon, a human dragon. The misfortune begins.
When Hiccup saw the dragon for the first time, for self-defense, or because of the traditions of his hometown, he had the idea of ​​killing the dragon. But from the confused and scared eyes of the dragon, he opened his eyes to the confused and scared himself. Under this opportunity, the human and dragon natures cherish each other, and a kind of cross-species feeling gradually spreads between the two creatures. If Hiccup is the representative of man and the dragon is the representative of nature, does their friendship imply harmony between man and nature. I really expect people to pay attention to this. But adults consider themselves arrogant, throw away their mother body, and throw away their real home. I don't want to see this shameful behavior again.
The second is the emotion between boys and girls. This emotion has been reflected many times in Hayao Miyazaki's animations, and although it is reflected again in this movie, it gave me a new and innovative touch.
A female dragon slayer who is self-improving but worried about gains and losses, and a stinky blacksmith who wants to kiss Cinderella with a toad, tied a red thread to each other through the experience of riding a dragon in the clouds (a relationship developed), Hiccup candidly controls the direction of the dragon, And his girl, Astri, used her right hand to swipe the warm clouds and mist, while Long Er kept coquettish and tossing, under the reflection of the setting sun, in the heaven and earth where the aurora advecated, creating romantic feelings for their feelings. interest.
The third is a kind of heroic emotion: Hiccup has always wanted to change the tradition of unequal species in the villagers, telling them about the horrors of dragon life and the danger of dragon lair, saving a race and saving a group of creatures, but he was marginalized by the villagers , let his father down, and even his beloved dragon was forced to become a captive of mankind. But he still resolutely did something stupid. He led his partner to drive a dragon to rescue the villagers who were caught in the battle and save his own dragon. This is the transformation of a person. For what he pursues, he will do whatever he wants, and a hero will eventually become a great weapon.
In the end, in order to save, Hiccup was lame and got a prosthetic limb, but it realized the value. Heroes should always love beauty, and the fragrance of Astrid lipstick was left on Hiccup's lips. Hiccup becomes the one who created Viking history, and Berk Island is no longer the island of dragon slaying, but the island of dragon training, and life has returned to peace.
Some people say that the story is simple, but it has to be said that the audience of animation is mainly those children, who find their own direction in the story of heroism. But as adults, we should not just watch the fun, we should ask ourselves: have we realized the value?
Next, let’s talk about other things. The true 3D of this movie made me feel the elegance of this technology. The story of this film is ups and downs, and there are also touching moments. It is a rare masterpiece of DreamWorks, which specializes in hippie mischief in recent years. What makes this film even better is the music. In the sound of Nordic bagpipes, the legendary story is even more soothing, moving the soul with a penetrating power. Combine these three emotions to blend with each other and present a Nordic symphony.

  • Gobber: [to Hiccup during dragon training] Don't worry. You're small and you're weak. That'll make you less of a target! They'll see you as sick or insane and go after the more viking-like teens instead.
