, let's take a note here, the "Madagascar" I watched in the previous paragraph. It was a cartoon I took my nephew to watch. As soon as I sat in, I didn't react, that is, I was hooked by it, and then the thoughts in my mind did not leave for almost a moment, and there were no other distracting thoughts. . This is because the rhythm of this film is fast, which I think is faster than Finding Nemo. The pictures are beautiful, the plot is attractive, and the environment is constantly changing. Of course, this is also related to the good effect of the theater and the clarity of the sound. And I really like the little penguins as a supporting role in it. Oh, I just wanted to get their QQ numbers. Speaking of burning the package, compared to the online FLASH animation, this makes me a bit "amazing".
But after the quarrel was over, I felt a little empty in my heart for a while. Because I don't know what it's talking about. Its content can be divided into several paragraphs, each of which has a question that everyone is willing to discuss.
At the beginning, there were four good friends in the zoo, and they were discussing whether to give up their comfortable life and find freedom. In the end no one persuaded anyone.
The relationship between humans and animals is mentioned a lot here. Humans keep animals in captivity, and some animals are dissatisfied. But in the end, the animals won the sympathy of humans with practical actions and let them go.
During the third release, there was a sudden change, the penguin held the boat hostage, and the four animals were washed by the sea to Madagascar. There, they encountered the problem of how to face difficulties and dangers. Some positive, some negative.
Fourth, there is also a kingdom on the island. I don't know what animal that kingdom is, but it is an obvious dictatorship, or a feudal dynasty. This should be a topic. But until the end, they lived and worked in peace.
The lion among the five or four animals, in the unrestrained nature, began to recover its wildness, and kept wanting to eat its companions. It kept restraining itself and regretting its own mistakes, and its companions also used family affection to influence it.
There are jackals on the six islands, all the righteous animals plus the returning penguins, unite and defeat the enemy.
Regarding freedom, the film distorts it and contrasts it with civilization, and in the end everyone has to return to a non-free civilization.
Regarding the lion eating animals, it is finally solved with sea fish. Isn't this super funny, isn't a fish a creature, and a horse is more advanced than a fish?
Regarding that kingdom, the lion didn't really help them in the end, and the king couldn't solve it in the end. In the end, the people were still "headed by fools".
Regarding people and animals, people are still kind, people are misunderstood, and people have no influence on the free island.
The above is what I thought after watching the movie, and then I felt a little empty. It felt like a bunch of fireworks shot up into the sky, banging, and nothing.
I'm wondering if Hollywood is making all the "bad movies" or if there's something wrong with my thinking.
If it is a "bad film", I think it should be a problem with the production process of the entire film. It is possible that some scenes and fragments first filled the minds of the creators when they were conceived, and they each moved with strangeness and mystery people. Then when filming, the director lacked the ability to knead and blend, and was firmly grasped by those pieces due to energy and schedule requirements, and the final product was pieced together piece by piece. It's like, a person's whole body is covered with valuable brand-name things, but it is incongruous to wear a suit and sandals.
If there is something wrong with my idea. Is that an entertainment movie that does not need to be given any meaning and mission? Is it just a story about friendship and adventure? Friendship trumps everything, and is it that the wandering of thinking does not require artificial narrowness and limitations? Isn't that what American culture is like?
But Finding Nemo is pretty good, suitable for all ages, and can be shared between East and West.

The only thing that surprises us in Madagascar is the four penguins. It is said that this is the director's personal will. Before directing DreamWorks' first computer animation "Little Ant Hero", Eric Darnell planned an animation performed by four penguins imitating "The Beatles". film, and now Darnell finally let the Penguin Gang of Four "get ahead" in "Madagascar". Animals that originally belonged to the polar regions can appear in the tropical island countries of Africa. Logs, surveying the enemy's situation, everything is under control, that kind of completeness in mind, completely inheriting the mantle of "adult" and "anthropomorphic" DreamWorks. It is strongly recommended to let the "Penguin Gang of Four" fly solo, which is definitely worth looking forward to, and will surely surpass today's "Fantastic Four".
Friends are not for eating Posted on 2005-08-09 12:56 PM
When a fish leaves the water, a bird leaves the sky, and a bad boy enters school, the world is not so interesting.
On this day, in order to receive a collectivist education, we were called together to see Madagascar. In the film, there are four bad boys. Why are they bad? Because they want to escape the zoo. How can this be done? If all the animals escaped from the zoo, wouldn't the keepers, aunts and uncles be laid off? If all the children run away from school, wouldn't our teachers be laid off too? Therefore, whether it is a small animal or a child, you must love your work.
The movie begins with Alex the lion, who likes to be smug and to join in the fun. He is good friends with the adventurous Zebra Horseshoe, the sane hippo Gloria, and the melancholy giraffe Maiman. They live a laid-back, comfortable life at New York's Central Zoo, with well-prepared meals always delivered to them on time every three days. The jungle they've seen is the park in the city, and they think they're real New Yorkers.
Four noisy penguins opened the prelude to the whole story, they incited everyone every day: children, let's play truancy! Far away from school, classrooms, exams, let's go to Antarctica, we can eat popsicles every day.
Their wandering dreams infect zebra horseshoes, who are eager to discover the world. He didn't want to go to the South Pole, but he really wanted to see Connecticut. So he escaped, much to the horror of his friends, who brought him back to the peaceful zoo life.
After a series of unfortunate adventures, they are finally captured on the streets of New York City by the zoo, where they once caught the horse's hoof. However, instead of returning to the Central Zoo, they boarded a ship bound for Africa.
Their ship was sent to Madagascar, the east coast of Africa. There, they encountered lemurs, carnivorous lemurs that looked like dogs and cats. These little animals, who stumbled in the middle of nowhere and were helpless, finally knew that this was a real jungle, the world followed the principle of survival of the fittest, and everything was divided into two categories-food and non-food.
The biggest challenge came from the lion, Alex, who was used to eating red, juicy steaks at the zoo, and suddenly his good friend zebra horseshoe looked like a delicious steak.
Luckily, this isn't a kid-friendly movie that doesn't scare kids, so in the end, the team overcame all their difficulties.
This story tells us through the adventures of four little friends that we should not skip school easily. We must learn knowledge and culture before we can face the fierce competition in society. In addition, everyone must have friends, but friends are not for eating. It is used to help each other and make progress together. Wei Baozhu
"Madagascar" Posted at 2005-08-09 12:57 PM
"Madagascar"
Trailer Picture Collection
This new DreamWorks animated film feels a little different to me, and if I don't consider other factors to appreciate the latest "Madagascar", it's hard for me to associate it with DreamWorks. Even suspect that it is produced by Pixar. Most of DreamWorks' successful animation works in the past have pursued a spoof style, which is far from Pixar's relatively warm and appropriate anti-traditional style. Pixar is also more delicate in the 3D style. I don't really like the upper part of DreamWorks "Shark Story". The style of painting is too anthropomorphic in terms of cartoon image, and this time the painting style of "Madagascar" is completely different, some simple cartoon style, very suitable for my taste, cartoon image should be like this.
The story of DreamWorks this time begins with the rules of nature, and there are also many interesting thoughts in it. At the beginning of the film, Alex the lion, Matty the zebra, Melman the giraffe, and Gloria the hippo live in the Zoo in Central Park and are very good friends with each other. Because in the small space of the zoo, the animals do not have to worry about food, and they live comfortably, and there is no food in the natural world. Different from most fairy tale works, DreamWorks began to think in reverse again. The animals lived comfortably in the zoo, and most of them were not so eager for freedom. Among them, Alex the lion is represented. He is a star in the zoo, and he can eat good steak every day. He is very satisfied with the status quo. In reality, many people also have the same attitude towards life, they are content with the status quo and are unwilling to change. Although freedom is the strongest note in literature, not every ordinary person will give up everything for it in life. What's more, Alex's situation is quite good for him.
Of course, among the vast majority of those who are content with the status quo, there are also outliers, and that is Mattie Zebra. His life is as carefree, but he always feels that something is missing in his life. what is it then? When he stumbles upon the zoo's penguins' plans to escape, he suddenly realizes what his craving is, and perhaps there are people of this type who are born to breathe fresh air. Mattie's escape caused Lianso's reaction, which caused Alex's friends to run out to find him. In the end, they were sent to the safari park because of the protest of the animal protection organization, and finally ended up in Madagascar by accident. The jokes are constant, and a large part comes from the incommunicability between the human world and the animal world, which causes humans to misinterpret the meaning of animals.
Saying goodbye to the animals in New York is somewhat at a loss in the wild nature of Madagascar, especially the lion Alex, who was raised by humans since he was a child. Although he is carnivorous, he has never had any predation experience or even the concept of predation, so he Started to suffer from hunger. The film starts to lead to some good thinking. In the natural world, creatures rely on food to survive. As a carnivore, a lion must prey on other animals. His friend Mattie can be used as a kind of food. This is the cruelty of nature, the strong prey on the weak. Alex activates the nature of carnivores because of hunger. The film uses a lot of hallucinations to express Alex's carnivorous nature. In his eyes, every animal becomes a delicious steak. So Alex is caught in the contradiction between friendship and wildness, splitting into a dual-character lion.
I think the thinking raised here is really interesting. Whether survival is more important or friendship is more cherished. In fact, this is not a question for animals to think about. Animals in the wild world are all adapted to the life of the weak, but humans face such problems. The animals in the film "Madagascar" just substitute for the way of thinking of human beings. The four animals living in the New York Zoo lived a civilized life like humans and enjoyed the comfortable life brought by civilization, but when they came to the wild forest, these animals who had lost their civilization background began to recover. animal nature. What is actually said is that after human beings are far away from human civilization, whether they will abandon all constraints of human nature and civilization in order to survive, this is a difficult choice. As far as I know, during World War II, there were Japanese soldiers fighting in the jungle because of lack of food and eating human flesh. This situation is more like animal nature than human nature. However, as an animated film, it will not allow such a cruel proposition, or an excessively in-depth discussion. But it's not bad to be able to tap it lightly like "Madagascar", and then things follow the traditional old way, because the audience likes a bright and perfect ending, so the lion Alex tries to save the zebra Mattie , showed his brilliance to frighten the civet cat, and finally returned to New York on the big ship robbed by the penguins.
The final perfect ending is the most suitable result of a cartoon. No one wants the lion to eat his zebra friend. If this happens, this cartoon will have many restrictions on the level. , which will seriously affect the box office. So no matter how the story goes back and forth, it will end up like this in the end, and the audience knows it, so I don't expect this kind of cartoon to play any tricks on the big routine. DreamWorks has always been known for its "spoof" and "subversion", but in fact, if you look closely, it is actually the same. Shrek is the same. In fact, this time DreamWorks did not rely on the means of spoofing as before, but paid more and more attention to the exaggeration of friendship. In this regard, it was more like Pixar's style, which was anti-traditional while not forgetting warmth.
The film is very interesting, and the four animal friends have very distinct personalities, and there are a lot of humorous jokes designed. For example, a lion ran into a public place and scared everyone to run around, but an old lady beat the lion, like teaching her grandson a lesson. In addition to these four protagonists, the design of several penguins is also very successful, like a well-trained spy, with a hilarious cold humor. All in all, this work produced by DreamWorks made me see a certain transformation of it. Perhaps in the mutual learning, its works have become more mature, showing more and more the ability to dig deeper and to be provocative in art. . Maybe DreamWorks really wants to seize the opportunity of Pixar's breakup with Disney to become the boss of Hollywood's animated film industry in one fell swoop.
