Westworld of ugly animals

Recalling the animated movies you have watched, what type of animal station is C in general?

Answer: Cute mammals.

Needless to say, "Zootopia", the fox and the rabbit flirt and flirt regardless of reproductive isolation; "Ice Age" revolves around the mammoth family and their friends; "The Little Birds", the protagonists are also cute clownfish and birds. In "The Secret of Pets", a group of cute pets who have no ability to survive in the wild save their abducted companions, while the villain team, except for the leader Little White Rabbit, is trying to "pretend to be fierce", snakes, frogs, hairless cats These ugly little soldiers don't look like a good thing.

"Rango" does the opposite, with a humble, ugly lizard as the protagonist. The painting style of the rest of the protagonists is also not very cute. The film's appearance of cold-blooded animals is very realistic. The snake scales and frog skins are clearly distinguishable. In addition, the strong apocalyptic wasteland wind (the road battle scene in the canyon even reminds me of it) "Mad Max 4"), it's also good to have a heavy meal once you've had enough desserts.

But the story frame of the film, I think, is no different from other personal heroism films - nothing more than a "waste wood fantasizing about becoming a hero, mistakenly mistaken for a savior by accident, enjoying honor and arousing the heart at the same time. A sense of responsibility, and in the end, although there were struggles in the struggle against the villain, he still heroically saved the people" story. The novelty is a little lacking. As soon as the villain appears, it is determined that it will not reverse. Basically, the follow-up direction can be guessed at the first appearance.

However, after all, this film subverts people's stereotype that "only cute things can be the protagonists". Coupled with the unique elements of western films, small towns, bars, duels, and galloping horses in the dusk desert are bloody, and it is still worth watching. watch.

In addition, it is said that all Westerns pay homage to the Red Dead trilogy. It seems that we must take time to watch the classic works of Mr. Dongmu.


An Easter egg, a little spoiler:

The python killer in the film is named "Jack", and when the villain shouted "Jack the Ripper", he almost spit out a mouthful of water haha.
