In the Hong Kong film "The Thief of the Years", Luo Jinyi, in order to coax the happiness of Fang Fei, the girl he likes, said that "the fish only have a few seconds of memory" when Fang Fei was gloomy because the fish could only wander back and forth in the water tank. . For the fish, every time they go back and forth in the tank, it is actually a brand new journey. The incident of amnesia became the reason for Bo Jiaren to smile.
In the first part of "Finding Nemo", Dolly's "short-term memory loss" (short-term amnesia) in the process of Marin's search for his son Nemo, while constantly happening to make Marin laugh and cry, and at the same time become a frequent A catalyst for things to come to light when you are in a desperate situation. At this time, the memory loss has become the existence of ridicule and transformation.
In the market more than ten years ago, whether it is a live-action or an animated film, short-term memory does not seem to be a sad thing, and even acts as a spice of life. But with the sudden appearance of the term "Alzheimer's disease", the trend of the matter began to take a sharp turn. In "Return", Lu Yanshi accompanies his wife Feng Wanyu every day to wait for his return at the train station, which makes people feel embarrassed.
Times are starting to change.
Therefore, 13 years later, "Finding Dolly: Finding Dory" put the short-term amnesia on the unprecedented popularity of the discussion. The audience felt a touch of sadness while watching the movie and on the journey of pursuit with the protagonist. The origin of this film may also be that the creators suddenly realized how terrible it would be to forget the beauty in their hearts. According to director Andrew himself, when he rewatched the first film in 2011, he suddenly worried that the forgetful Dolly would forget Marin and Nemo. Therefore, he hopes that he can give Dolly a happy ending.
Fromm, author of The Art of Love, argues that loneliness, and the guilt and shame that accompanies loneliness, stems from a person's awareness of being divided. In the panorama shots from time to time in the film, when Dolly's figure plunged into the vastness of the ocean, it stirred up fears in people's hearts. Netizens once gave an interpretation of loneliness. There are seemingly clusters of stars in the night sky, each of which is several light-years apart.
For Pixar, it seems that starting from "WALL•E", under the lively, novel and joyful appearance of each work, a faintly sad core has become more and more obvious. Not so much to improve the ideological depth of the work, it seems more like the creators are increasingly facing their hearts and the fear of gradually forgetting the past.
In this year's hot "Happy Comedian", a round of the theme was set as the very popular chicken soup "not forgetting the original intention". In order to regain his original heart, Yue Yunpeng returned to the restaurant where he once worked, not to find his original partners and guests, but more to find his original pure heart. This is also a new work of "Finding Parents", which seems to be more in line with the theme. Because what I have been looking for in the play is the self.
However, under the seemingly profound theme, this "Finding Nemo 2" actually has a lot of slots. Compared with the previous one, there is no eye-catching breakthrough in the performance of the picture, and many of the stalks are directly applied to 13 years ago, and some overly exaggerated scene performances show that the authors are careless in their imagination. The various domineering side leaks that are going to fly to the sky in minutes are somewhat untenable. Fortunately, with the help of such a movie, people can still think about how to find their former self.
