Monsters University--The Film Didn't Fall Into The Cliché

Watching animation seems to have its own routine; justice triumphs over evil, good people are praised, bad people are severely punished, and then there is no such thing. I had a similar opinion on "Monsters University" before watching it, thinking that it was just another commercial blockbuster with little connotation, but it was well-made and worth watching. But there seems to be an unexpected surprise.

What is the dream? Can the dream come true? Can a person's perseverance create a dream? We make dreams, but to turn dreams into reality, we can’t just make an illusory dream!

A little monster that can’t scare others even with countless efforts, a big monster that can easily scare others, the The friendship between them was indeed forged in struggle. They hate each other. They hate each other. One depends on studying hard, the other is born with high quality, but it seems that neither of them gets good grades. After all, the little monster's congenital defects can't be chosen, and the big monster's stupid arrogance stops him from moving forward. Suddenly, I remembered the revelation in "Huang Zhongyong": no matter how good a person is, he will be "lost to everyone" without the hard work of the day after tomorrow. I can't help but laugh when I see this. It's like this again. The eight achievements are that the little monster defeated the bad guy through his own hard work and hard work, and finally won the honor and succeeded in the drama, hehe.

However, the plot has not developed in this way. Some defects are irreparable, even if you try hard the day after tomorrow. This is a fact. Many inspirational films are unwilling to admit this fact. This kind of feeling that people are determined to conquer the sky is often misleading. The protagonist is so crazy that many people ignore their own reality and blindly pursue their dreams in the process of pursuing their dreams. The loss and lack of self-confidence brought about at this time are also destructive, often accompanied by anger and resentment, because if you have worked hard enough but still have not achieved the set goal, then the problem must be the society, which is a lot of inspirational films. Why does the effect of inspiration often outweigh the gains in the end? But Pixar tells you that, in fact, the real inspiration is not to blindly dream that you can break through the limit, but to admit your own shortcomings, no matter how much it hurts and destroys the dream, because recognizing the objective reality and facing up to yourself are the first steps to success. Every step, and then you work hard. In the process of hard work, you will inevitably fail, and the final result may not be a happy reunion, but in the process, you will improve, progress, and gain. Even if it fails, you will also prove your existence. And then don't give up. There is only one ending in life, and that is death, so don't take failure as the end. It is just a process, and there is no real failure. Everyone comes from one place to another. Every time is a new beginning. Even if you are a recipient, you must give meaning to your work. Inspiration is not without failure; not every game is the final winner, but every time you challenge your own limits and every time you give meaning to your existence. This is true inspiration.

He scared the dean at first glance, and as soon as he appeared, he frightened the freshmen. He played the role of a bad guy countless times in the middle, but in the end, it still made people realize that he was not actually a bad guy. It has its own philosophy, knows how to correct mistakes, and its last encouragement also makes people understand its changes. I like this setting. I don’t need to always reward good people and bad people. Being stubborn is a sign of a bad person, but not everyone who is stubborn is a bad person.

Very good Pixar, worth a look.
