Cockroaches, mice, etc. have always been regarded as the enemy of the kitchen, and it is crazy that Pixar and Disney can combine the two so well in this film, and it is so successful that I even have a problem with it in the end. The food made by those little claws is full of yearning. And such a wild imagination comes from a dream - the American Dream!
Family feelings and the American dream have always been the two major themes of American animation. In fact, if it could be more general, that kind of family feelings can also be regarded as part of the American dream - to be successful and to be able to take care of family and friends at the same time. friendship.
America, this is a country that I can't fully identify with, when I also have to admit that this is a country that always surprises or frightens me. It is so material, yet so "equal". As long as you are willing to work hard, as long as you can succeed, you will be recognized and supported by people. Who cares that it's just a little fluffy mouse who makes these delicacies. But it is not unreasonable that all these exist under the name of a "dream", because they are all illusory and easy to disperse like a dream.
In reality, too many fleeting dreams have been staged, and they have even turned into nightmares. Just like Michael Jackson, who passed away not long ago. When he was at the peak of the American dream, almost everyone and all the media turned their attention to his unknown side, so all kinds of misunderstandings, suspicions, ridicule, and even slander came flooding in , Some of them are well-founded, some are chasing the wind, and some are framed by conspiracy. People "worked together" to push him into the abyss of nightmares. And just at this moment, fate showed its amazing means like a magician. The death of MJ made all negative comments about him disappear almost overnight, and everywhere was full of nostalgia dedicated to the genius who died early. , tears, flowers and praise; at first he was almost equated by various media as perverted, weird, or even a devil, and overnight by the same media as an angel, or even a god; those who slander him are like aliens Mystery disappeared. That's how the American Dream unfolded before us in such a bizarre way.
So at the end of the movie, the little mouse stayed behind the scenes to realize his dream of being a chef, maybe it was better, maybe the directors and writers understood where they would slide after appearing in the foreground of the dream. That way, it's not a cute animated movie anymore.
