The film's depiction of the university campus is full of colors, very sunny, and the architecture is classical and solemn, but in this desirable holy place, it is full of traps. Big Eyed Boy has been looked down upon since he was a child, and he was also ridiculed when he went to university. The teacher also joined in to force him to drop out. The main tone was actually quite dark. Compared with the first episode, there are not many jokes, which may disappoint some people, but I think it is very good, because the script has written the old routine of how small people work hard and lively.
Big-Eyed Boy's Way
of Survival In addition to hard work, Big-Eyed Boy's way of survival is to constantly go beyond the boundaries. From visiting the frightening factory when he was a child, he went beyond the police line to enter the restricted area of the factory, and then broke into the human world. It is also an impossible task for him to organize a group of ordinary children to participate in the scare contest at the university. When everyone was disheartened, he led his teammates to scare the factory at night. In the end, in order to prove himself, he passed the level again, and challenged the adult world with Da Lao Mao Mao. The old conclusion is courage, and I add the courage to go beyond, beyond the rules, and beyond myself.
Another important way of survival for Big Eyed Boy, which he learned on the university campus, is his partner. It's too hard to compete in the real world without a good partner. Not only do you need partners to win the competition, even if you start from the low-level in the scare factory, you also need a combination of Big Eye and Mao Mao. The importance to the partner is shown very concretely by an affectionate hug at the end of the parting.
cruelty of reality
In the end, Big Eye did not miraculously win the comparison, but cheated by Mao Mao. This design is also very interesting, adding a realistic cruelty. The movie depicts the "class contradiction" between Big Eyes and Mao Mao, which is also very fleshy, which is the uniqueness of PIXAR animation. The central idea of the story is believed to reflect the screenwriter's own situation to some extent, because filmmakers or animators have been working hard to gain the approval of "ordinary people" in this city that focuses on business and utilitarianism. Some people think that Big Eye is forced to compromise with reality and can only be a coach. In fact, he has given up his dream of scaring the commissioner. I think if a job, such as being a director, is an ultimate goal, such a good big-eyed boy is a compromise. But if work is just a way to exert his ability and strength, Big Eyed Boy can't say compromise, he just finds a more suitable position for him. Life is all about finding a good position and then flexing your muscles.
