The film tells the story of a group of animals who grew up at the New York Zoo, living a happy life without food and clothing. Suddenly one day the "bestiality" of the class horses awakened and they wanted to go to the more exciting world of WILD, so these urban "beasts" such as lions, long deer, hippopotamuses, etc., by accident, came to the fourth place in the world. Big island Madagascar. .Faced with new life, animals have different choices and encounters. The film ends in a hurry with the singing of "Good friends should be together forever". The film is about eighty minutes long.
I have never dared to underestimate Hollywood cartoons, and firmly believe that they are not the product of pure play and entertainment, but a vivid reflection of American Tezhu's life experience, life and speech. Therefore, it is not too much to say that Disney cartoons carry the main theme of American values. Looking back at the American cartoons over the past ten years, all of them have conveyed American values (such as heroism, pioneering spirit, religious feelings, etc.) to the audience and to the next generation through vivid images.
According to the above logic, this DreamWorks work should partly reflect the current American mentality and tendencies. The beginning of the film is very exciting and gives people great expectations. The audience is waiting to see how these beasts who have lost their animal nature will face the wild jungle that truly belongs to them after living a comfortable and comfortable urban life.
But it's disappointing that when these animals are really facing the sinister nature, the screenwriter irresponsibly takes the future life of these animals after doing a small section on the emotional changes of facing the new environment. Also unclear summary. Are these animals willing to return to their nature, or continue to enjoy the happy life of eating and opening their mouths? The audience doesn't know. All I know is that all animals have the urge to return, but they cannot avoid the vulgarity of lingering in material life. Zooming in on this conclusion, isn't the materially rich Americans facing such a dilemma on a new level? But in the whole film, it feels that the ideal of returning to nature is no match for the rolling red dust.
Of course, it's a funny and unrealistic thing to let a cartoon like "Madagascar" carry such a grand discussion, but after all, it partly reflects the confusion in the heart of the American people. They use this ridiculous and exaggerated cartoon A way of expressing and dispelling anxiety about the prospect. Those so-called values of friendship and mutual help are just very mentally retarded preaching in this film.
