For many fans, this is the era of superheroes. Marvel's superhero movies are bombarding movie theaters with a sweep. "Experts watch the door, laymen watch the fun." Marvel diehard fans can always interpret a lot of deep-seated things from the movie, such as the presentation of Marvel's grand cosmology, the continuation of universal values, etc. Of course, the general audience also Don't be "frustrated", spend money to buy a visual feast, and enjoy the gags of male gods and goddesses, love and kill each other, and it is completely worth the price. In May, "Captain America 3" is like a box office harvester, and it is not negotiable to earn your money, and in early June, whether "X-Men: Apocalypse" can take over the baton of superheroes, it seems that there is not much to create a box office myth. Suspense... superhero movies, rising so incredible. For me, who has hardly missed a Marvel movie, this time the big-breasted captain VS Iron Man is really great. . But somehow, I always have a place in my heart for Pixar's The Incredibles in 2005, and he is the most unforgettable superhero movie in my mind. More than ten years have passed since 2005. Thinking about it is also emotional. I always say that time is fast, but in front of the movie, the time thief is really cunning. In the light and shadow, it is still the memory of yesterday, but when the movie ends, when you come back to your senses, more than ten years have passed like that. Silent and sad.
The Pixar animation team is recognized as the most childlike, so the themes of their works are generally healthy and upward, with more "educational and entertaining" functions, and basically do not involve the consciousness disputes in the adult world. Corresponding to such thematic characteristics, the design of the characters in their works also tends to be "cute". Even if there is a moderate exaggeration in the shape, they all give people a very harmonious and rounded feeling. Compared with the above two characteristics, "Superman" is undoubtedly a small outlier. In terms of theme, the film is no longer based on the fantasy of the children's world, but penetrates into the reality of the adult world. The helpless encounter of "Wonder Man" and his companions in the real world may be regarded as a true portrayal of every socialized adult after his childhood disillusionment, as if he increasingly realized that he was limited by many norms and systems You and I are the same. In such a realistic secular society, do we need "Spider-Man"? Need "Batmans" that come and go? Perhaps a lot of people replied: "Need". This kind of answer that doesn't cooperate at all makes me very faceless. But have you thought about it carefully: Isn't this fantasy about "need" a reflection that the real world does not allow "superheroes" to exist? It is true that "demand" reflects the "scarcity" in reality; however, "Red Sophistication" tells us that "scarcity" is probably just an appearance, which can be either the source of "demand" or the is a "restrictive" result. The "demanding" side makes us fantasize, and the "restrictive" side makes us sigh, like Mr. Wonder who does his old job helplessly in the movie, with his super bulky body stuck in the company In the maze-like rigid pattern, it is very reminiscent of the artistic conception of "water buffalo fell into a dry well" in Chinese. Such a helpless "superhero" setting obviously exceeded the expectations of children, and directly hit the hearts of adults. If the encounter of the "Wonder Man" group just conforms to the reality that they are adults, the formation process of the "little villain" in the film is completely reversing the past "education" track of Pixar or Disney. According to their previous thinking, it is impossible for a child who worships superheroes to become pregnant. At most, they will be teased and laughed at, and they should all be happy in the end. However, in The Incredibles, such a guy who was at best the clown ended up being the villain, and was mercilessly ended in the finale. It is not difficult to imagine that such a setting is not in line with the psychology of children under the age of 12 who are still full of fantasies about "superheroes". This also explains from one side why the film is a Pixar The first PG-level work produced by the company. It can be said that in terms of theme and plot setting, Pixar has the ambition to broaden its horizons. Perhaps this indicates the beginning of this traditional animation giant's march to the superior territory of DreamWorks. However, this is really just the beginning. Piksa is not as slick as it does in a purely children's world when it comes to navigating such an adult subject matter. The first third of the film follows this new path very well, and many scenes are very ironic, the confrontation between "cynic" and "secular", the "freedom" of superheroes and the "freedom" of institutional society. The conflict between "norms" can make adults feel something, and even children who are not very sensible can find laughter from the unfortunate experience of the protagonist. But when it comes to the "heroic" ending, Piksa's creators seem to have trouble letting go of fairy-tale fantasy plots—or, more precisely—carrying out realistic "cynicism" and entertaining the public (especially to find a balance between the traditional goals of children). Therefore, in the second half of the film, it completely returns to the most common hero saving the world routine. The sharpness of the attached social psychology has quietly disappeared, replaced by Pixa's wonderful imagination when dealing with the details of the action. The entertainment and viewing quality have gone up, but from the perspective of the film as a whole, the social focus has disappeared for no reason, which is too hasty, making the previous "plausible words" become like gimmicks. However, this may be what I think as an adult. The children will definitely not see it this way. Their opinions may be the opposite of mine, and they think the latter part is the thing worth the price of the ticket. When we look away from the film's gist and focus on some of the film's finer details, we're instantly at least as happy as we've gotten from Pixar's past. In terms of character modeling, "The Incredibles" is more exaggerated this time, and the proportions of the characters have been uncoordinated. Interestingly, if all the characters and scenes of this film are flattened, the audience will find that there are great similarities with two-dimensional TV animations such as "The Simpsons" and "South Park". No wonder, because the director Brad Bird Bird) himself is very fond of flat-screen TV animation, in fact, he originally wanted to make the film according to traditional animation production techniques. This tendency of his brings a slightly different visual style from the previous works of Piksa: not only the proportions of the characters are infinitely exaggerated (almost to the point of the French cartoon "Beautiful City Trio"), but also in the use of CG When perfecting the character modeling, the detail of the body parts was also intentionally reduced. And the visual style of Finding Nemo is obviously different, and The Incredibles is more likely to have a sense of humorous integration. When the protagonists don their magical outfits, the material of the costumes is not the salient point, it is the fluidity of those shapes and movements of the characters. Among the several main roles in the film, I personally feel that the wife of "Wonder Man", "Flexible Woman", is the most fully represented. Her arrogance and disdain before marriage, her virtuousness and kindness after marriage, and her love for her children, are at critical moments. His wit and calmness are all fun and full of detail. Not only in character, but also in action scenes, this former heroine with a big butt is still the most exciting. Her omnipotent body has brought a lot of surprises to the audience, which makes people have to admire. The imagination of Pixar's creative team. Relatively speaking, "Wonder Man" himself is a bit boring, there is no way, all the main heroes must be boring, otherwise they can't be the "main" heroes, because the main heroes must be typical. He was actually more cute when he couldn't display his talents in the first half, and the action scenes in the back, he can be regarded as not new, just brute force. I may be biased in saying this, but it's my consistent attitude, haha, who told me to just look at the male buddies and not be pleasing to the eye? In order to express the super "heavy color over friends", I would also strongly praise another woman in the film, that is Edna (Edna), who is the chief costume designer of the "superheroes". Mode), in-house designator "E". This short character is really the funniest guy in the whole film, and also the most "sharp" character. The "adult" aspect of the film is most fully reflected in her. Although she didn't make many appearances, she was very impressive, especially many of her lines were classics, and her voice was obviously funny, showing that the director tried her best to highlight her intentions. When I saw the scene of this lady, I laughed and thought of my dear classmate Kim Jong Il in "Team America", because they are all the same extremely funny, stylish, even the height is the same, I don't know. What would they look like together, in fantasy... even more interesting is that the most hilarious character in "The Incredibles" is also dubbed by the film's writer and director Brad Bird. It seems that in the future, if everyone wants to know which character is the most interesting in the cartoon, they will find a guy who has any creative staff involved in dubbing, and who can "catch the ducks on the shelves" to dub. First, they have two brushes, and second, they The character will make the character become more than the audience expected. As for the other characters in the film, it can be considered a good work. The "Frozen Man" dubbed by Samuel Jackson seems to be optional, and the appearance of Wonder Man's daughter is quite strange, although it is to highlight her introverted character. Shy, but you don't always have to wear straight hair full of negative ions and only show one eye, right? It's easy to think of "Sadako". In addition to the interesting character design, the most outstanding part of the film is the imaginative action scenes. Aidena's studio and the villain's lava base are all breathtaking, making people want to move them to a new episode of 007. Go to the set. There are also many novel props in the film. The many machine toys of the big villain, the car of "Wonder Man", and the skateboard of "Frozen Man" are all fun stuff. Among them, the "Manned Blood Drops" used by the villains are especially cool. The part where they chase the "Lightning" son of "Wonder Man" is the most exciting part of the whole film. The little guy runs very fast. , and can even walk on the water like flying, envy the old senior Qiu Qianren. It is worth mentioning that the film uses a lot of aerial photography, dives and rapid pull-ups similar to live-action movies, as well as a lot of wide-angle shots, making the action scenes especially refreshing and enjoyable, like watching "Spider-Man 2". Jackson's dubbed "Frozen Man" seems to be dispensable. The daughter of Wonder Man is quite odd. Although it is to highlight her introverted and shy personality, she doesn't always have to wear straight negative ion hair, only a Show one eye? It's easy to think of "Sadako".

This is an animation masterpiece with entertainment almost at its peak. For Pixar, whose technology has become more and more perfect, character designs have become more refined, and environmental backgrounds have become more and more beautifully constructed, "The Incredibles" is obviously a product of that period. Its human model is not very pleasing, the environment and buildings are modeled in a single color, relatively simple, and even a little rough, but it was quite standard at the time. The technology is not the same, but the subtlety and entertainment of the story make it a classic. The same is true of superheroes saving the world, and the story of The Incredibles is smaller. It focuses on the life of a former superhero who became a civilian after mixing into the vast sea of people. The irony is that there was a time when life and death were for world peace and social stability, but now saving a person who wants to seek short-sightedness has also gotten into a bad lawsuit, asking for no fun, and it is not easy to be a superhero in the new era. Sure enough, the development of society has long been not a simple confrontation of black and white. The proposal of the "Heroes Act" in the movie is similar to Team America 3, but "The Incredibles" is more thorough and lethal, directly depriving superheroes of the right to use their superpowers, asking them to remain anonymous, and henceforth classified as mortals .
The story style of "The Incredibles" is light-hearted and humorous. It does not have the grand world view in Marvel movies, and the character creation is not so heavy. But in fact, it is not appropriate to compare animated movies with live-action movies. The forward thinking of "The Incredibles" has successfully made a profound discussion on the boundaries between heroes and mortals. I have to say that this kind of discussion combined with the shaping of the characters in the movie has achieved a very good effect, which is very impressive.
Mr. Superman once punished the evil and eliminated the evil. As a mortal, he became an ordinary middle-aged uncle with a big belly, curled up in a small office and doing boring work. The fire of the hero in his heart has not been extinguished. He is always eager to come out of the mountains one day and return to his old business. Mrs. Superman, this once-beautiful woman is also a resilient superwoman with extraordinary abilities. After marrying Mr. Superman, her life was almost submerged in trivial daily life. Compared with her husband, Mrs. Superman's heart is more thorough. She raises three children and enjoys this stable housewife life. However, her once strong and grand personality has not changed at all since she became a mother, so you will see that she has never been soft-hearted towards the children. Compared with Mr. Superman, Mrs. Superman has more tenacity. When she brought the children to rescue Mr. Superman, her bravery and tenacity were admirable. When you look at her incarnation of a boat, even with one look, you can see her apology and concern for her daughter, and when she turns into a parachute, she still doesn't forget to give the baby a sense of security... Such a superwoman is also a good wife, good mother.
The responsibility of the family closely links Mr. Superman and Mrs. Superman together, so this is a "The Incredibles", "Saving the World", "Saving the Family". Ba Xiaoqian, who began to enter the rebellious period of youth, Ba Xiaofei, who was naughty and troublesome, and a baby who babbled. When facing evil forces, such a fulfilling and lively family, even if each member has three heads and six arms, There is also a need to take on more things - none of which can be less, none of which can be harmed.
The family drama is interspersed in the battle between good and evil, and the appearance of Cool Iceman adds more interest to a plump story, as well as the funny Mrs. Yi, and even the beauty hired by the evil boss-Phantom, each Characters get the light they deserve.
It's weird that this superhero movie came to mind all of a sudden. The cool special effects bring a stunning visual experience, and the exquisite story is not out of date at all. This kind of integration of family relationships and human touch into the big proposition of saving the world brings empathy and touching hearts. Therefore, such superhero movies are enjoyable and emotional. Superman Bob is like the ideal child who once lived in our hearts, fantasizing that he can change the world, save the world, and maybe achieve some achievements, but he is not allowed to be in society. In desperation, he hid the edge and ideals he once had, found a job where he could make ends meet, and stayed with one person. Day by day, the biggest difficulty in life is just the questioning and making things difficult for the boss. Seeing so many people around him live in such pain, he can't do anything about it, because even a superman can't even save himself after disappearing from the crowd.
Everyone has such experiences and stages, longing to be saved, longing to be able to realize their dreams. Of course, Superman is fortunate that his superpowers never go out of style, and he can cheer up when the need arises. Seeing that middle-aged man with a pot belly, becoming fitter day by day, his pectoral muscles replacing his protruding abdomen, a beautiful woman in a suit and leather shoes, and a luxury car, this feeling must be a kind of exhilaration that suddenly erupted after being suppressed for a long time.
There are no ideals that are suddenly realized, and there is no beauty that falls out of thin air. If it was just a solo show of Superman, the film would be a little monotonous. No matter how powerful Superman is, he also needs a strong backstage. But the elastic superwoman who accepted the reality was excited, then worried, and finally became suspicious while facing her husband's sudden change. Any woman would panic in the face of this situation, and the ever-powerful stretchy Supergirl would cry: What should I do, what should I do? Mrs. Yi woke up Superman with a few slaps. Also career, marriage, family, ordinary life packaged by super powers.
The ending is naturally a happy ending. After all, the villain is too weak to be the opponent of the Superman family at all. Beaten over and over again, even by little babies.
In a modern American middle-class family, the father gave up his dreams for the sake of work and the family, and the mother changed from a dashing woman to a gentle wife. It is a headache for the parents, and the birth of the youngest son drains the energy of the parents. If you put aside the shell of superhero animation, the theme of "The Incredibles" is actually a bit heavy. What's more, it seems to dig and satirize the relationship between the government, the public, and superheroes. So far, the movie doesn't say much, and I won't talk about it here. Vivid characters (or characters) are the magic weapon of animation. Especially Hollywood animation, every animation with good box office or good reputation will have at least one unforgettable character, there are countless examples, the panda in "Kung Fu Panda", the squirrel in "Ice Age", "Madagascar", "Lan Ge", "Wall.E" and so on. The characters in The Incredibles are very vivid and distinctive.
Briefly talk about the characters, as my father mentioned earlier, he gave up his childhood hero dream for the sake of his family. He had fat and an old waist. The mid-life crisis made him feel depressed. While recalling the good old time, he fantasized about being able to think again. Crazy as a young man. And what attracts us to movies is that we are often thirsty in reality, and the characters in the movie will fulfill our wishes for us and vent our emotions. So the role of father came to life, a pure man who took care of his family with a sense of responsibility. The role of mother is very outstanding. In addition to her superpowers being the most imaginative and watchable, mother's character also captures the psychology of mothers who take their children to the cinema to watch this film. "The old lady was also an extraordinary woman with a protruding front and a backside. If she didn't fall in love with that dead ghost and created so many little ghosts, I still don't know where to be happy now." My mother was dashing and dashing when she was young, but now she is completely different He is gentle and virtuous, and has his own skills in managing the family. What has not changed over the years is the trust and love for his husband. So, the role of mother is also alive. Let's talk about my daughter. I read an article before, which probably said that looking at a person's head shape in a Japanese manga can basically determine the person's character. The daughter in "The Incredibles" is the most typical example. Adolescent girls are generally more sensitive to the outside world, and are more concerned about what they think about themselves, especially the attitude of the boy they like towards them, and the daughter is born with superpowers that annoy her, so a sense of inferiority always accompanies him. This is what her long hair that covers her face wants to express, and when she faces her superpowers, the change in her head shape conveys to us the change in her heart, she is more confident, although she wears a mask, but she and the world closer. The daughter lived through this series of changes. Of course, this is the animation of Pixar, the mainstream animation of Hollywood, so everything is sunny (at least our protagonist is sunny), the husband will never have an affair, even if the wife finds out that the long hair on the husband's body will not be too much Big doubts, the daughter passed through adolescence smoothly, and the son slowly became sensible. This is the magic of the movie, which subtly implants the most mainstream values and ideology in the audience into their minds when they are laughing. Finally, let's talk about the villain. This role is very abnormal. He is a follower of superheroes and hopes to become a superhero's partner, similar to Batman and Robin. It stands to reason that this kind of character in American cartoons will not be an evil villain. It's just funny, but "The Incredibles" is uncharacteristically, turning this sad child into a big villain, unique.
Details are an important reason why Chinese animation lags behind Europe and the United States, and Japanese animation. Just to name a few small details and small scenes in "The Incredibles" that made my eyes shine. At 31 minutes and 16 seconds, Dad tore his professional book in half, a very common action, but it definitely shows that the creator is thinking hard. Dad is very frustrated, Dad wants to vent, Dad wants to destroy something, so what to destroy, how to destroy, how to make this action look good and convincing. As a result, my father tore a thick book in half at the waist, a stroke of genius. I believe that many people have heard that XX sheets of paper cannot be torn apart when stacked together, or have tried to tear a back book by themselves. This detail is an action that easily resonates with the audience. The kaleidoscopic mom is the focal point of the action scenes in this cartoon, with parachutes, motorboats, etc. imaginative, and the witty mom fight in the enemy base is hilarious. In addition, mother's superpowers match her character: flexible, tough, tolerant, and the metaphor of her becoming a ship carrying two children is very clever. Later in the film, the father drives the family to save their city. The task is urgent, and the family's character is undoubtedly revealed. It is simply a family driving in real life. What impressed me the most was when my son asked his father why he hadn't reached his destination, and his father replied impatiently: We get there when we get there. At least I always asked this kind of hot question when I was a child, and my parents also Always answer this kind of irritating talk. The animation background can be imaginative, and the story can be a castle in the air, but the details are the weapons to impress the audience. The details make the movie grounded, so it can be good-looking and the audience can love it. Finally, let's talk about the skating man dubbed by Samuel Jackson. I personally think that this task is completely created for the action scene. Because the ability of this family is biased towards "physical skills" or physical flow, it lacks gorgeous big scenes. , So the skating man came into being, and there were not many scenes, but the final battle scene did live up to expectations, and it was a gorgeous mess. The details are not only in the cartoon now, but the voice actors outside the play also reflect the maturity and perfection of the American animation industry all the time. The actor who dubbed the eldest son in the film ran around in the dubbing room in order to create that breathless effect. Going a few laps, this is something that is hard to imagine for domestic animation dubbing. In addition, in recent years, Hollywood 3D animation blockbusters can be said to have paid special attention to the beginning and ending, such as "Wall. The endings of "E", "Kung Fu Panda", etc. are all excellent, and "The Incredibles" is no exception. The ending borrows the retro style, jazz with the classic 2D beauty manga like the Powerpuff Girls, and gives another kind of expression at the end. Visual enjoyment. All in all, Hollywood 3D cartoons seem to be the same and the whole family is happy, but there are many good works worth pondering, "The Incredibles" is one of them, everyone can get what they need and can find some touches from it, this is excellent animation tablet logo.
