I watched it with very high expectations, but I had no choice but to look forward to it again. I can only say that it is qualified after reading it. After all, there are a few paragraphs that I really like. For example, Riley was "premeditated" from a dream. The whole process is actually the joint action and mutual influence of the spiritual environment and the spirits in the brain. It is inevitable in Riley's spiritual world, and the effect presented is just in line with the logic of the dream, which is a very harmonious situation. Suddenly broken by dissonant elements. Plus it has a core expression of "harvesting joy and releasing sadness to achieve emotional balance", so it barely fits the bill.
Due to the high evaluation of this film, I will not mention some other advantages. I mainly want to talk about what I can't accept this film and my dissatisfaction with American animation (Disney Pixar). It is purely personal feeling, and there are many things that are wrong. Correct.
First of all, when I saw this movie, I thought of To Qifeng's "The Detective". It stands to reason that it would be a bit boring to put such two irrelevant films together, but I do feel that it is necessary to compare it. First of all, "Inside Out" "The five "elves" set are "joy", "sorrow", "fear", "disgust" and "anger", which are obviously the five basic emotions that everyone is born with. Where did that emotion come from? It depends on character, a person's character determines when and in what form his emotions are released, and then the emotions displayed drive the person's behavior. Conversely, behavior can also be reversed back to character. This is where its design is misplaced. Emotions will inevitably arise in certain situations, while ignoring the character, which makes the whole film empty and without a real soul.
Now comparing "The Detective", Wei Jiahui sets the character, and emphasizes three kinds: insidious and cunning, greedy and cowardly, and violent. These "ghosts" are the most fundamental self-externalization of Lin Jiadong's heart, and then these characters affect his personality. On the body, if Lin Jiadong is included in any "ghost", it is still himself, because every behavior can be traced back to his own character.
And "Inside Out" is terrible, Riley's five emotions have independent consciousness, it is easy to understand that each body can only have one consciousness, and now the movie shows Riley's consciousness (or Riley's consciousness). There is no consciousness) and the consciousness of the "elves" are separated, and Riley's consciousness is controlled, she becomes an object, a manipulated puppet, and the "elves" are the subjects who can dominate the objects. It can be recalled that every action of Riley is the will of the "elf", and Riley herself is in a state of unconsciousness (or schizophrenic), isn't this "Truman's World"? If you had told me in advance that this was a horror movie, I would have given it five stars.
We simply follow the logic of horror movies. Riley has no personality. I said that a consciousness corresponds to a personality. If there is a consciousness, where is this personality? Elf? No, because they are just emotions. Their only goal is to make Riley happy. Since there is no central will, we can only set an ultimate goal, and then use external obstacles to promote the achievement of this ultimate goal. One of the reasons it looks good.
In addition to nitpicking, the final text successfully demonstrates the importance of "sadness", she is as important as happiness, so what about the others (green and red only complete functional plot advancement, purple directly soy sauce) )? Then they can actually disappear (on the topic). Some people will say that "The Detective" is only about three of the seven. They are the embodiment of inner identity. Besides, the remaining four are left there without speaking. You This emphasizes individuality and independence. It is important to say that everyone has value, so what is the value of several of them? So the essence of the two is not the same, it can be considered that the expression in this regard is not thorough enough, and it is a lack of completion.
Finally, I want to emphasize that visual imagination ≠ visual effects. I thought I could be "Jinmin" after reading the comments. After reading it, I found that it is Xin Haicheng at best. I can only say that the production is still exquisite, because you are very simple. The cross-presentation of two independent spaces, the real time and space and the spiritual space and time have no interaction at all. The sprite in the mind is just a concept and has not been implemented into the vision, so in the end, there is no idea for a live-action movie like "Detective".
Then I talked about the talents of Disney (Pixar) animation. I have always been unable to understand those comments that they are imaginative and creative (no other meaning, I really don't understand.), in my opinion, it's just upside down. The three-axe routine, one is adventure, the direction of this kind of play is particularly "inertia", and most American animations have this tendency to some extent. "Dream Ring Travel Notes", including this "Inside Out", is not to say that they are not good, they just keep going the old way. When it comes to this routine, it's actually the same as "Ice Age", but the other one makes sense. The protected object has no personality. Because it is a baby, the author will focus on the values of elephants and tigers, and then show it. Their conflict, so it looks good, and I like it a lot.
The second is to give things or animals life or personality to broaden the narrative space, "Toy Story", "Finding Nemo", various stories, this one is a bit different to a certain extent ("Detective" is earlier than this), but the above said personality does not exist.
The third, most boring, is to set a foreign background to attract attention. The earliest was "Mulan", and then "Kung Fu Panda", "Legend of Magic Strings" and "Super Marines" followed. It's just a few times, it's okay to look at the past, it's already 2010, is it still like this?
The themes are nothing more than those: family, growth, memories, and at most one redemption, is there anything new? On the basis of these 10,000-year-old themes, sprouting the main characters as much as possible, such as Dabai, Minions, etc., are these routines. Undoubtedly, many of them are above the standard, but I am skeptical that it is not a masterpiece, and my imagination bursts.
So in the end, what is imagination? Does it have to be fantasy texts to highlight imagination, or the imagination of American films is only reflected in concept, not in vision, not in form. For example, the so-called vision is " Crazy Dating Mirador has an independent visual style, and the form can be really ingenious in structure like "Waltzing with Bashir", while more than 90% of American animations are standard three-stage, which must be Admit it, and the real visual imagination mentioned before... Everyone should have seen Jin Min.
After all, I basically have no confidence in American animation. It can be seen from the crazy IP renewal in the past two years. Various 2, 3 and even 456, at least at my age, must not buy it, I can only see the industrial assembly line. Can't spend any more feelings, or win over the audience after 00? (By the way, Riley's imaginary friend in "Inside Out", I think the routine is so explosive, it may be that I am old, everyone likes it.)
