For me, Pixar is the Metro Man (superhero) in the film, and DreamWorks is the Megamind (big villain), Pixar always tells a story about the truth, the good and the beautiful, and DreamWorks is always trying to attract people with spoofs. However, DreamWorks gradually found that the audience was getting farther and farther away from him, and gradually gathered around the spokesperson of truth, goodness and beauty. As a result, DreamWorks also had an era like Megamind, which was extremely vicious, smashed, and crazy. The audience will not buy it, but their eyes are full of disappointment, so DreamWorks suddenly woke up from the dream, learned from the decline of several years, and gained strength from the justice of Pixar. "Super Villain" also took off the wretched face of the unscrupulous spoof before, and told two sufficiently wonderful stories in a way of spoofing and true feelings, just like Megamind at the end of the film, with his own unique way and sincerity won the citizens and audiences . Shrek reminded us many years ago that a beast-faced human heart is always better than a human-faced beast heart. But once a person reaches the top, they can only maintain a perfect state of ten years and one day. This is why Pixar has been slightly declining in recent years. The sensationalism is always a distant beauty, but the true nature of DreamWorks is more approachable, or Pixar Also try some new options like Metro Man in the movie.
The film depicts special individuals in three states: "heroes", "villains" and "upstarts", excavating their generating incentives and psychology at a certain level, and giving us thinking beyond their own categories.
First, neither "hero" nor "villain" is born. Although the hero "Subway Man" and the villain "Big Brain" in the movie have superpowers, their path to becoming a hero or villain is the result of the combined effect of various factors. We can see in the film that the growth conditions of "Subway Man" and "Big Brain" are completely different. One fell into a wealthy family and was supported by classmates and praised by teachers since childhood; while the other was devoted to Prison has suffered from the scorn and neglect of others since childhood. Different living environments result in different personalities and values. This is the case with the so-called "southern oranges and northern oranges". Second, the existence of "hero" and "villain". Heroes and villains are also human beings, and if they are human, they will have a meaning of existence, that is, the needs of social attributes. The villain "brain shell" in the film has no desire for money or power. The main motive for his behavior comes from the revenge mentality and the desire to prove himself after living under people for a long time (Subway Man). To put it bluntly, it is the pursuit of social identity and belonging. Feelings (and the same goes for Roxanne's love).
As for good (construction) or evil (destruction), it is a matter of choice. Relative to good, evil is easier, the cost is lower, and the benefits are greater, while the risk is almost impossible for those with super high abilities. It can be ignored, so it has become the first choice for many people to realize personal value. Third, the survival status of "heroes" and "villains". This is an often overlooked part of many superhero movies. What is life like behind the scenes for the heroes and villains? Are they happy? Are you worried? As stated in the film, "Subway Man" doesn't want to be a hero at all. He is tired of what a hero needs to do and shows. He just wants to play music well. Although unexpected, but also reasonable. Who stipulated that "with great power comes great responsibility"? When a person is forced to do something he doesn't like to do, this horoscope becomes a fallacy that imprisons one's freedom. There is nothing wrong with "Subway Man" by feigning death to do what he really wants to do. And the living state of the "brain shell" is not ideal. Similar to the superficial scenery of the big hero, the big villain's heart is also very empty. Especially after defeating the "Subway Man", the "brain skull" tasted lonely, the money and power at his fingertips was not what he wanted, and at this time there was no opponent, so he suddenly lost the motivation to be a villain. When a villain does not want to continue, there is often a fear of returning to society, so it is not easy to be a bad guy. Fourth, the sad end of the "upstart". The cameraman (artificial hero Titan) in the film is a sad character, just like many wealthy upstarts in the real world, the superpower upstarts lack sufficient psychological preparation and correct value guidance, which not only leads to individual tragedy, It also had a catastrophic impact on society. From a certain point of view, the "upstart" is the primary form of the next "hero" or "villain", and the constraint that determines the direction of his behavior lies in the individual's consideration of realizing personal value. Fifth, the right to choose in life. Through the above reading of the film, in the final analysis, it is a matter of life choices. The three religions and the nine classes, the pawn dealers, the heroes and villains, what one chooses to do and what kind of life they choose is everyone's freedom and cannot be imposed or deprived. However, how this choice is made is determined by the individual's education, growth and life experience. Unlike cartoons, once a choice is made in real life, it is not so easy to change. Doing good and evil is not only a thought, but also determines the path of our life. For most people, since "heroes" and "villains" are not easy to do, it is enough to be able to control themselves and be a mortal from beginning to end.
If you are a person who likes animated movies, you must know that DreamWorks has always had interesting and weird ideas, and new perspectives have been continuously updated for a long time, so every work produced can make people feel bright and naturally attractive. It is big enough, but the plot structure of most works has always been very simple, but only a few are different. Setting, so just imagine, one or two may not matter, but what will be the consequences of long-term immutability? It can be seen that everyone has a little bit of this kind of self-knowledge. "Super Villain" makes it clear that they can do well if they want to do it. Except for a happy ending that is "comfort" for themselves, the rest is left. A series of twists and turns related to the plot were completely unpredictable, just like I was a passenger from a different place and he was a local driver, how to go is completely up to him, because this "road" was full of difficulties last week. Unfamiliar and unfamiliar "scenery". It can be said that he is trying his best to hide many key details of the whole story like a trap. Even the unbiased assumption that the trailers and posters give people a long-term battle between good and evil can be easily denied early, which means that it is mass-produced.” over the wall ladder". Counting the protagonist Gru in "Despicable Me", if you compare it with being cheap and evil, Mike Mai in this work has greatly surpassed the former (dubbing is an indispensable condition for success), even if he did not go to space to steal the moon His ambitions can often be counter-intuitive and disturb the whole city, and even inexplicably make Comrade Superman find out his true life direction. There are more scenery, but after all, they are two fundamentally different stories. It is not very appropriate to use some touching warmth and laughing pure subversion. However, one thing is the same. The bad of some so-called "bad guys" is just A superficial assumption, to judge the essence of a person, you still have to look at the inside. One after another, the fresh connotation of jokes and various characters with distinct personalities make the story very full. The various appearance props and the plot are also well matched, as well as the rich expressions and interesting lines that steal the spotlight from time to time. , but there are also some small flaws, such as the handling of the character's emotional transformation seems very hasty; well, after admitting "How to Train Your Dragon" to please the audience, DreamWorks has won again. Of course, you are the winner again and again. There are also many failures in the work behind it, the fate of the loser, and the failure in awards. If it continues to be sluggish, it will be a loser forever. The movie said it well, "I think Destiny does not decide our path, but gives us the path to decide for ourselves. "It's up to the person who has fallen on the ground or got up to decide. This movie subverts the usual routine of superhero movies. There is neither a "Superman" who saves the earth from water and fire; nor does it have a slightly dark color. The "Batman", let alone the "Hulk" who is both good and evil... The hero in this film, tired of his role positioning, chose to cheat death and escape in a battle, even in the end At the critical moment, he was not persuaded by the beauty to make a comeback; the big villain in this film has actually been good since he was a child, but his good intentions have been misunderstood as malicious, and finally he resolutely chose to be evil to the end; this film is honest and honest The common people have superpowers, and the humble and pitiful ambitions are also infinitely magnified, becoming the number one public enemy that endangers society. How does a hero become a hero? It is not because there are negative characters and negative events. Is it possible to be a hero only when there are comparisons and differences? This film blurs the discussion of "people are inherently good" or "people are inherently evil", blurring the boundaries between "good people" and "bad people". Society can be regarded as a challenge of concepts. For the Chinese society, which has been instilled with the simple concept of good and evil, such as "the big bad wolf is bad, and the little white rabbit is good" since childhood, this film is subversive, it is rebellion, It is to bring real thinking to the audience. "The Big Bad Wolf" may be the most reliable friend around us, and the "Little White Rabbit" may also disown his six relatives and jump up viciously to bite people... With this The creative theme of "Super Villain" is unique among hero movies, and each main character in the film has not been "masked" or "positioned". The first impression and the final fate of the characters appearing to the audience can be described as simply It's a world of difference. So, don't jump to conclusions before seeing the ending. Although as an animation, there are not many funny scenes, and the characters are not particularly worthy of praise, but the story is very high-minded, Don't have a kind of meaning that can make people reflect and aftertaste. This also makes this film truly "entertaining and entertaining". The hero in this film, tired of his role positioning, chose to cheat and escape in a battle. Even at the last critical moment, he was not persuaded to come back by the beauty; the big bad guy in this film actually grew up as a child.

DreamWorks and Pixar have become evil in the animation industry, one is warm and the other is spoof. Although the two sides occasionally meet, their respective brand directions are basically set. This division of labor is naturally a joy for Pixar. After all, the mainstream If you can get a lot cheaper, at least there will be more word of mouth and trophies. In contrast, the non-mainstream DreamWorks is a bit pitiful. The results of its same efforts are always laughed at. After all, the reputation depth of famous books and jokes is indeed a lot worse. I finally got a dragon training book that is reliable. People immediately used the more reliable toy 3 to prove that I was still the main theme, so I had to continue to adhere to the anti-tradition of the escape class. Compared with the despicable me, he went further and thoroughly. Let the opposite of the superhero be the protagonist, the super villain, and also succeed in doing evil, at least from the appearance of eye-catching gimmicks, who doesn't want to see a real villain. Of course, judging from the results, in fact, this big villain can be said to be not bad at all. His so-called evils are all pranks. His original intention of doing evil is not to pursue evil results, but to enjoy the process of rebellion, especially because there are super With the presence of heroes, this process is doubly fun. So this is not a super villain, a super urchin is almost the same. He can say that he has done no evil at all. The only evil is to plan to destroy his old enemy superhero. The only thing he has sidelined with evil is his appearance, and this image, including his appearance, his assistants, and his inventions, all borrowed the traditional evil image. To use an inappropriate analogy, this is like making a lump of poop with sesame oil and sesame oil. The first impression is indeed the same, but as long as you shake it a little and get out of this shape, that is, the real villain in the story. When the time comes, this lump can be put up and made into the same sesame sauce noodles as everyone else. So from the perspective of being anti-traditional, there is nothing new in this film. If you have to say it, it is actually better than fighting aliens or Kung Fu Panda, because there is no real turning point in the story. He is a good person, but he does not Be understood, plus a little fun. But I still think there's something interesting about this story, because he brings up a concept that's rare in animation: choice. Most of the characters in the animation, especially the positive characters, have no choice. A good person is a good person and will not stop doing good. The evil person often fights back, being influenced and moved. This is purely a plot need. In fact, if nothing happens, It is estimated that they will not choose to change. In this story, Uncle Superman is the first to realize that he has to choose his own life. In my impression, this is a rare example of a good person quitting on his own initiative. This is not Retirement. Retirement means handing over the work, that is, there are still people doing it, and he has washed his hands with a golden pot. No matter whether there is someone to take it or not, I quit anyway. This realistic approach is very interesting, especially when faced with a crisis, the uncle still insists on his own ideas, no matter what, this is fundamentally different from those experts who refused for a long time and finally got it. , I have to decide my own destiny, no matter what others do, I just don't do a superhero anyway. Of course, this feeling also infects the protagonist. When his love conflicted with his playfulness, he chose the former. This change is not so much the traditional abandonment of darkness, but rather to satisfy himself. "I don't think it's good to be a good person, but to be a good person can find beautiful girls. This kind of self-serving transformation is different from that of a hero. The real traditional hero helps others for the sake of others, while the blue head helps the city for himself. Only good people can win the favor of girls, isn't it, so the wonderful point of this film is that his characters are very realistic, there is no such fake hero, I don't have anything to do by default. I do things to practice my own life. This kind of realism and egoism rarely appears in cartoons.
Yang Zhu said that if everyone pulls a profit from the world and does not do it, the world will be peaceful. In fact, there is some truth to it. Everyone protects their own interests and everyone pays attention to their own rights, which will naturally encourage everyone to obey the rules. Everyone respects the choices and rights of others. This film seems to be the first time that I feel that the exaggerated and non-realistic animated characters are not selfless and fearless. They can also have themselves. As the trajectory of life progresses, everyone will make some turning choices. The real characters can, Why can't animation characters work? It is true that this kind of performance is much more exaggerated and illusory than realistic movies, but after all, it has come out with some new ideas. Heroes can choose not to be heroes. As long as they have great abilities, they don’t have to rush to take responsibility. This is also a kind of Free and easy, or even a more reasonable attitude towards life, so seeing the big head holding the beautiful back, Uncle Superman is happy to become a passerby, I am very happy for them, because compared to those aggrieved warriors who endure humiliation, their lives are far away Far more chic and happy.
