happened just in time for the inflammation of the wisdom teeth... Yesterday, the toothache was a little better, and the swelling on the face was also reduced... So, I went straight to the cinema after work.
Dare to go is really afraid of wanting to laugh but dare not laugh, holding back internal injuries, and this movie did not let me down, funny clips emerge endlessly, laughter after another, especially Mr. Ping's story about A Bao's childhood: I Feed you, I'll give you a bath, I'll feed you, I'll still feed you, I've been feeding you... With the cooperation of the cute little panda, it can make everyone laugh, and at the same time feel very warm ...
well, let's get to the point.
First of all, it's about "cultural invasion" and Zhao Bandi
's writing such content into film reviews really makes me feel a little inappropriate, and taking these as the beginning of film reviews doesn't mean how much I value it, but Just like the title, we need to put some issues on the table to discuss and face them directly, whether we like it or not, just to be objective
Hollywood movies have been carrying out this "cultural indoctrination", but these people can only see " Invasion”, while ignoring the ideas expressed in the movies, the social issues reflected in most movies, the family affection emphasized in European and American movies, and the “love” in a broad sense.
Kung Fu Panda has indeed been processed in many places, but if the panda’s eyes are designed to be Green is the ugliness of pandas, which is really nonsense. Just like when we were discussing the unreasonable design of the "Olympic mascot", you interjected: You see there is a mascot with a green hat. We just have to think you're funny and imbecile. Such movies promote the cuteness of pandas and various Chinese cultures to the world, why can't you see them? Is it an insult to us if someone else uses it and makes some slight modifications? If this is the case, I welcome you so-called "artists" to insult me, as long as you do better than others, now you can't do anything but plagiarize and mess around, and when people do something, you start chirping crooked, like a clown, very sad
One aspect of self-humility in Chinese culture means: don't take yourself too seriously. People are just telling a story, taking Chinese culture and pandas as the subject matter, and some misunderstandings and deviations are inevitable. If we can't see identity but only deviations, it can only show that we are too sensitive. Perhaps the most important feature of Chinese culture is tolerance. It is the tolerance of people and the integration of culture. But just like the sentence I saw before: In martial arts movies, Chinese people can't see Chinese being beaten by "foreigners". Why do we have such a strong sense of "national identity and belonging" and "patriotism"... This is something to think about.
Mr. Zhao Bandi once said: If you don't watch American blockbusters, you will die. I want to say: after watching so much, I am not dead. If I have a son, I will also take him to see Kung Fu Panda, I believe he can see cuteness, joy, optimism, friends and love.
Then if I have a chance, I will go to see the IMAX effect of Kung Fu Panda 2 again. The 3D effect is really explosive, just like a line in it: Pirates? Master Shifu. What's the problem? Pirates? Vandals at the Volcano Mountain? When Po realized "inner peace", he really felt like reaching out to touch the green grass. When the artillery bombarded over, he subconsciously wanted to dodge... In this regard, the 3D panda is not inferior to the 3D animation " Rio"
Then, the introduction of Chinese elements. It is said that DreamWorks has recruited many Chinese employees who are proficient in "Chinese culture" in order to make Kung Fu Panda well, whether it is the paper-cut shadow puppet at the beginning and the end or the use of Chinese musical instruments in the soundtrack, from the residential buildings in Phoenix to the Palace architecture, from fireworks to artillery, from kites to farmland, from divination to Tai Chi, is simply a "kungfu bag" made of Chinese elements (the shop of Mr. Ping, the adoptive father of A Bao, sells this thing), I have to say, DreamWorks' understanding and application of Chinese culture have reached the level of meticulousness. In addition to showing and respecting, they also do not forget to tease occasionally: The lines of a pig in Mr. Ping's shop are as follows: He once served me, see , the soup stain on this dress is proof. Such meticulous and thoughtful works are rarely rejected or disliked by Chinese people.
Since it is a big Kungfu bag, of course there is stuffing in it, one of the stuffing: "growth" in Hollywood tradition, hero-themed movies, growth and understanding are always the key to turning defeat into victory, and Kung Fu Panda is no exception. In the two films, A Bao grew up after experiencing setbacks and failures. The difference is that in the first film, A Bao's growth is almost passive, or it is not so much A Bao's growth as "master shifu". ” (Master Raccoon), although he did not understand “inner peace” at all, he understood and tried “believe”, and then Po’s natural understanding of “the best soup is soup with nothing added” , can be said to be the foundation for the understanding of "inner peace" and Tai Chi in the second part. Another difference is that in this type of film, the doubts about the hero after the failure, the first one includes the questioning of Master Raccoon and the Five Heroes against A Bao, but it does not appear in the second film, but the trust of friends. and sincere cooperation.
Stuffing 2: Epiphany
For a rigid person like me, I hate to understand and be optimistic about Epiphany, because I believe that there are turning points in everything, but the emphasis is on accumulation. There may indeed be progress in temporary understanding, but in the end, various kinds of things are still needed. Various experiences to revise and perfect, but I love the epiphany that comes from watching Kung Fu Panda
In the first part and the second part, the epiphany plot appeared in the dialogue with the raccoon master before the turtle master went to the fairy (the epiphany about the secret of the dragon... I know I still can't comprehend it now, laugh, laugh), the sheep fairy guide A Bao's search for his heart and memory, these two episodes are undoubtedly the core of what the two films want to express: u just need to believe it. and do not fight it, let it flow. The progress of Master Raccoon and the progress of classmate A Bao All come from epiphany, exploring inner dissatisfaction and fear to achieve "inner peace".
Stuffing No. 3: Po's story
I like "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" written by Mr. Shuxia Yehu. I read it repeatedly, and I don't feel tired. I really like the sentence in it: A person's real strength lies in knowing how to fear. . With continuous growth and success, when you meet a powerful opponent, you will know his strength and face your fears before you can find a way out and defeat your opponents. In the second part, Bao, the fears he faced are memories of his childhood. , and this as an opportunity, let him continue to move forward on the road, to search, to explore, where exactly did such a picture come from? Who exactly are you? What happened? And when he was able to see the peacock feather-shaped emblem, he went from being completely ignorant to gradually daring to face it, and finally he reached the opportunity of epiphany and understood the truth of "let it flow". Self-cultivation is here. Words like ignorance and fearlessness always belong to speculators and reckless people. The reason why there is religion and worship is precisely because people have fear and then go to find sustenance. I once saw a comment saying: like the Chinese, a nation without religious belief and fear has no future. I think there is a reason for saying this, because a nation like the Han does not have a fixed religion and does not know how to worship and fear. But don't forget that our culture contains introspection and fear. "There is a god when you raise your head three feet up", a truth that the most ordinary Chinese will know. far away...
My favorite line in Panda 2: What we have endured in the past does not determine who we are, it is all about our own choice (forgive me, I can't remember it for so long, roughly what it means), when I saw this At that time, I immediately thought of the line from Wayne in "Batman": it's not who I am underneath. But what I do that defines me. Although the meanings are different, the key lies in emphasizing our own choices and actions. Lord Shen chose to kill and take revenge, while A Bao chose to face his fears. He also faced the shadows. Different choices made different decisions The trajectory of life, even... good and evil.
On the causal loop: It's easy to feel that way when watching the second, um, karma. Because of the fireworks, the Peacock family has the Phoenix City. Because of the evil strength in the fireworks, Lord Shen's parents found Gu Yangxian for divination. Because of the result of the divination, Lord Shen went to slaughter the panda village. Therefore, twenty years later, because of the evil strenght , Shen Wangye made a comeback, because of the shelling, A Bao was rescued by Yang Xiangu again. All kinds of retribution are unhappy, "everything must have a cause and effect", which may also be part of the Chinese culture conveyed in the play.
Then there is the more interesting love story of A Bao and Hu Niu... This is a little... a little... The species are different and there are wood... I think there should be a female panda behind... than a tigress It's better, and it's easier for people to accept
. Then a line from classmate Mantis: I think I should find a female mantis in my life, get married, and then be eaten by her... I'm very happy
and at the end of the play, classmate A Bao's father is still alive , there is also a panda village, and then the probability of the appearance of young female pandas is relatively high,
and then A Bao has a faint appearance of surpassing Master Raccoon. Although the martial arts is not very strong, but the attainment is quite deep, since it is a Kung Fu Panda, the latter There will still be progress. The panda has learned the last trick that the turtle taught the raccoon, so the follow-up progress should depend on his own father
and a highly recommended movie... After the detailed subtitles come out, I will do it again. Introducing the lines
