"Rango": On the Self-cultivation of Actors

ILM's animation debut "Rango" seems to be an unpopular animation. What attracted me to watch this film is the voice of Johnny Depp and the protagonist on the poster who has a new level of ugliness - a twisted neck , Rango, a chameleon with big and small eyes.

Rango is a chameleon housed in a glass box, a lonely pet who constantly fantasizes about being a great hero, passing time and losing himself in playing different identities. By chance, and like fate, it crossed from contemporary American society to an old western frontier town. In the later process, the fantasy of becoming a hero and the skills of an actor have made it a pseudo-identity of a hero. Sometimes others think you are a hero. Slowly, you will really regard yourself as a hero, and it is also deep in your heart. The identification with the real hero enables Rango to break through this false shell and transform into a real hero. Being a pseudo-hero may be a little guilty at first, but in the end, it is really obligatory to get rid of Bao Anliang.

Good cartoons do not distinguish the age of the viewers. Children can see cute animals, young people can see the pursuit of dreams, and middle-aged people can see political factors. With its cool soundtrack, western complex, heroism, irony, and the protagonist's emotional line, I think "Rango" is a timeless classic.
