Mais il faut aimer la vie !

I have never seen such a profound animated film about character, psychology, memory, emotions, family and growth. It is refreshing that Pixar externalizes and personifies these inner constitutions of man, and casts the brain into a realm of imagination.
Comment on the three points that touch me the most.
"Happy" when the little girl's core memory was lost and her personality interests collapsed, in order to get everything back on track, she persevered, never gave up, and optimistically faced the seemingly unsolvable dead end, which was touching.
"Sadness" seems useless and disliked by others, but it plays a role at a critical moment, which makes people think that what exists is reasonable, whether it is a person or a thing. Therefore, we can neither ignore others nor belittle ourselves. At the same time, nothing is absolute, and not everything that is beautiful is happiness, sadness and bittersweet are not all that is a precious experience in life?
"bing bong" is an unrealistic fantasy and companion of childhood, and in the eyes of adults, he is probably nothing more than an ugly and silly monster. When he and "Happy" rushed to the top of the cliff with a silly spirit singing battle songs over and over again, I actually laughed out loud, and then silently shed a tear when he chose to sacrifice himself and was forgotten and finally vanished.
I really feel that this is an animated film made for adults, and I wonder if children can understand it (maybe it’s because I have the heart of an adult as a “little person” again). Without experiencing growth and maturity, how can we know how many childish, ridiculous, and now pointless things we have abandoned? And when we lose our goals, feel that life is meaningless, and wander in the crowd like wandering ghosts, is it because the five little people in our minds have disappeared, busy helping us retrieve the lost core memory?
End with the most impressive sentence in the film: Mais il faut aimer la vie! We still have to love life!

    3.5. The scientific basis for the establishment of the film’s brain hole is a certain sense of "psychologicalism"; but just as psychicism is widely criticized for conceptualizing and simplifying people's complex emotions. Regardless of this setting, both clues in the film are weak. On one side are small things that are big and broken and grow up; on the other side are the stereotyped adventures of various "characters". Wins in the playful lines and slightly chicken soup growth pain.

    This film is delicated to our kids. Please don't grow up, ever. When I saw the last subtitle of credit, I could hardly control myself. The familiar and perfect Pixar finally came back.
