Although there is a phenomenal masterpiece "The Return of the Great Sage" this summer, the next "The Return of the Great Sage" However, domestic animations such as Black Cat Sheriff: Emerald Star have not been successful, and have always lived and died in the cage of parent-child movies. However, "Shaun the Sheep" in the same period and "Minions with Big Eyes" and "Inside Out", which appeared after the protection month, have achieved a balance between parent-child function and adult aesthetics, which are worth learning from domestic animation.
"Minions with big eyes and cute" set the story time and space in the United States and the United Kingdom in 1968. It is destined to play the emotional card, because that is the well-known rock and roll boom period, and the movie throws a Jimi Hendrix or Beatle at any time. The stubbornness of the gentleman makes rock fans smile knowingly, and the insertion of famous rock songs such as "Happy Together", "You Really Got Me", "My Generation" and other fast-moving pictures is also quite refreshing. The key is that the nostalgic elements of this film did not affect the smoothness of the film and the plot at all, and the soundtrack also completed the narrative function. For example, the music of "Peter and the Wolf" cooperated with the evil bedtime story told by the villain for the Minions, resulting in an ironic comedy. Effect. The life force of the minions is to find the evil master and be loyal to him, but always accidentally kill the master. This setting itself requires that the actions of the character's activities must trigger a series of chain reactions, and the characters must also have misunderstandings. The dramatic interaction, if it is not smooth enough, the whole film will be lost. But this film has achieved a smooth peak, which is why we have a huge sense of joy after watching it, and the happiness index is better than watching "Despicable Me".
Just as "Minions with Big Eyes" will not ultimately execute the villain, the positive family spirit is the keynote of American animation, and the subsequent release of "Inside Out" attempts to discuss positive energy in more depth. Why does one's personality change from being totally happy and carefree to being reserved when approaching adolescence? With this question in mind, Pixar Studios spent five years making this animated film featuring a little human girl and five emotions in her head: happiness, sadness, anger, disgust, and fear. Pixar's image style is relatively unified, but the concept is relatively new. Director Peter Docter's intention is not to emphasize that people should be dominated by happy emotions, but to encourage people to face up to the emotion of sadness and grow up in venting and learning from sadness .
After the anthropomorphic protagonists Lele and Youyou fall into the subconscious world where girls bury deep fear and pain, we see a giant clown - finally a mainstream movie pierces the truth that Uncle McDonald's is actually scary! This kind of exploration of children's psychology is very interesting. The external cause of the girl's emotional confusion is that she left the place where she grew up with her parents and was unable to adapt to the new environment for a while. This phenomenon is very typical in the highly mobile society of the United States. Perhaps this is one of the reasons for the popularity of this film. . But the characters in the story did not encounter the tragic early tragedy after all, and it is not difficult to solve the problem. So the depth of American animation can only go so far. However, after all, this is the life of most people. It is divided and closed. There are joys and sorrows. It’s good to cry, and it’s fine to laugh. If you want to be touched by the negative energy niche, you should watch European and Japanese animation.
