Unfortunately, it seems that nothing in this world can match the law of "what is rare is more expensive". With the improvement of audience's appreciation level and experience, everyone began to get tired of Pixar's style. The warm line in the eternal bones and the constant dazzling technique have gradually become a drag on his works. It can be seen from works such as "Battle of Bugs" and "Cars" in recent years.
Just as Apple can't make every new product release shocking, Pixar can't make every work a classic. I really agree with someone's comment on Apple: from great to great. Although we often think that being excellent to being great is only natural, but in fact, greatness is often the result of several amazing times, which is sometimes exaggerated, and excellence should be a pragmatic and lasting style. Of course, it remains to be seen whether Apple does this, as does Pixar. But at least, we have seen such a persevering quality from them. Maybe you want to say that it is too much, and too conservative to stand still is the starting point of failure. But we also often say that what genius and stupidity have in common is stubbornness, but genius is always right~~
After five years (?), watching the sequel to "Monsters, Inc." actually adds a layer of nostalgia. When you see the fur monster and the big eye, your mind seems to return to that time in the past. , I was relatively ignorant about Pixar at that time, and my understanding of life and the world was by no means comparable to today's. I just thought that it was a good-looking animation, with inspirational, funny, friendship, and madness together. There is more warmth from the bottom of my heart. Especially when Big Eyes handed the assembled wooden door to Maoguai, it really made one's nose sour. This gift was so light that it was vulnerable to a single blow, and it was as heavy as a thousand jins of stone. Pixar is always able to make a stroke at the end of the film, which makes the style of the whole film jump. Just imagine, if Mao Wei and Big Eye did not drop out of school and make a living by themselves, but instead were admitted to the school and graduated with honors, it would greatly weaken the strength of the film. Of course, Pixar is not a domestic film, and will never fall into the same pattern. . Of course, from another point of view, the encouragement and adherence to principles by the dean of the academy is also in line with the social laws of the West. They pay more attention to results, while Eastern philosophy pays more attention to attitude: knowing mistakes can be corrected, and good is great. .
Of course, the environment and character settings similar to Harry Potter are not of much benefit to this film, and it is nothing more than making the screenwriter lazy. And the undisguised standardization of the plot and rhythm of the Hollywood assembly line that can be seen everywhere is also exhausting. I just watched a Pixar short film recently, but it is still surprising. I wonder if it is because of the changes in the production process and management system after merging with Disney.
