I finally had time to make up for "The Incredibles 2", only to find out that it has been 14 years since the first film. Although I only watched the first film in the first half of this year, I don't think there is anything old about the film more than ten years ago. On the contrary, I feel that the two films are perfectly connected and deduce a deeper theme.
Fourteen years ago, the Marvel Universe had not yet made it to the screen, but Pixar animation has built a superhuman family for us. However, due to the government's prohibition policy, all superpowers can only hide their identities and live the same life as ordinary people. Mr. Superpower's family can only rely on the "subsidy" of friends to survive.
Not being able to fight crime in an open and honest manner, not being able to use their abilities to protect the society, this is a huge blow to the Superman family. Especially for Ba Xiaoqian and Ba Xiaofei, who were still children, they felt a huge loss and dissatisfaction when they were restricted from using their superpowers as soon as they discovered their superpowers.
Life is unremarkable, and turning points come quietly. A successful businessman named Winston Devore has had great trust in superpowers since he was a child. He hopes to fulfill his father's wish, and one day can help them gain the understanding of the masses and protect the society in an upright manner. .
Mr. Super was moved to tears when he heard the news, but fate seemed to play a joke on him again. This time, Winston hopes that Supergirl will save the world and become the spokesperson of superpowers. Mr. Chao Neng silently retreated to the second line and became a veritable dad. He has to take care of his three children when his wife is on a mission.
The subversion of the social image of the male protagonist and the female protagonist is the first point of the film. As an almighty dad who can go to heaven and earth and is full of muscles, Mr. Chao turned over while dealing with family affairs. Facing his daughter Xiaoqian's rebellious self-thinking in adolescence, facing his son Xiaofei's math problems all over the table, and baby Xiaojie's amazing superpowers, Mr. Superpower feels exhausted physically and mentally, and he has nowhere to handle. When Elastic Supergirl called to tell her about her work achievements today, although he expressed his support and encouragement to his wife and let her do tasks outside with peace of mind, in fact, his inner loss and collapse had already struck. He lost that he couldn't fight crime as brightly as before, and he was helpless because of the problems of the three children in front of him. Even after Xiaojie's superpowers turned into an irritable baby, he sent him to "Mrs. Yi" for custody.
This is the truth from life, and I believe many parents have such feelings. The mother brought the baby smoothly, but handing it over to the father was another scene of despair. The purpose of the film is not to promote "feminism", but to hope that under the social division of labor, both parents and mothers can balance the relationship between career and family, and understand that compared with others, the harmony of their own family and the healthy development of family members is the first.
In addition, the three children of different ages in the film face different problems, which also reminds parents that they should use appropriate methods to solve them. Mr. Super Neng asked someone to erase the memory of his daughter's date without asking his daughter's opinion, which made her angry and thought she was being disrespected. This approach is obviously not desirable. Fortunately, the super dad found out in time. After apologizing to his daughter, he patiently communicated with her and took the initiative to help her meet the boy. Love and trust are the best way for a family to bridge the gap.
The second highlight of the film is the villain "Pingba". When people wear the glasses of "Pingba", they will be controlled. This character setting is completely in line with real life. Since people have become bow-headed people, they have to face various electronic screens every day in addition to sleeping. Gradually, I don't want to go out of the house, I don't want to get close to nature, I don't want to think deeply about enjoying life as it is, but I am addicted to the pleasure brought by electronic screens. Since the beginning of this year, we have heard too many tragedies caused by playing with mobile phones, how many children lost their lives due to the neglect of their parents' attention to their mobile phones. From this perspective, the director hopes that we can realize this, return to real life, and pay more attention to family members. This again coincides with the theme that families should accompany each other and love each other.
The whole movie brought us thinking in the light and laughter, and the ending was also a great victory with the unity of the family, and the superpowers finally won the trust of the people and the government. Looking back at our life and the life of the Superman family, they have powerful superpowers but still encounter many difficulties, so how can we ordinary people complain, it is better to learn from them and use love and trust as the best weapons to solve difficulties.
