Brazilian elements, universal values

Oceane 2022-04-21 09:01:39

Hollywood-style entertainment films generally convey the most basic universal values. Birth, old age, illness, death, love, marriage, respect for life, evil and righteousness, etc. Then add their technology, industrial standards, and mature marketing to make the world's best film industry. But master-level films may not come out. Often those literary films come from places like Europe, Iran, and Taiwan. I especially like Taiwanese, Japanese, and French movies. I personally think that French films can generally represent the spiritual, cultural, social and other aspects of the West. Taiwan and Japan are purely oriental, full of oriental ways and emotions. But movies in other places have not paid much attention to, one does not have enough time to watch, and the other does not have enough background knowledge.

The director of this film is Brazilian, and I thought it was the Americans who started doing Brazilian things (such as "Kung Fu Panda"). It seems that the Brazilians who are still out are more authentic. My knowledge of Brazil is still stuck in the popular labels such as Amazon, football, Samba, and Bossa Nova. This film happens to be a spoonful of these things, making a big collection. The protagonists are two rare blue macaws from the Brazilian rainforest. The interesting thing is that I am familiar with parrots in the Brazilian rainforest animals. I think many people still clearly remember the cute parrot Polly in the junior high school English textbook. The male protagonist in the background grew from a pet to a natural bird and fought gangsters bravely to win the return of the beauty. The venue is the Carnival in Rio de Janeiro, with football matches, Brazilian street kids flying motorcycles, and young men and women fighting against gangsters. The music of the movie is also lively and lively, so that the audience will know that it is Brazilian when they hear it.

The values ​​conveyed by this film are still the most basic things I mentioned at the beginning, that people all over the world can identify with and understand, such as love, the victory of justice over evil, etc.

As for the movie itself, I don't want to say too much, I just think about whether we can make this kind of movie ourselves, with strong Chinese characteristics, but it can convey universal value. Don't bully, kill, pervert, etc. eye-catching things as soon as you come up. It's very uncomfortable to watch.

    This is called national image film and high-level product placement. After watching it, people have the urge to Rio. The translation is good, and it keeps pace with the times~ Even words such as "playing soy sauce" and "powerful" appear just right

    The music is full, the picture is full, the parkour is less, the plot is weaker, the climax is shorter, and the rest is good. The laughter is actually not as dense as imagined, and it is on the level of Ice Age 3. . There is no Angry Bird scene, which is a bit disappointing. If there is a group PK + parkour in the back, it will be more dashing - is this for the sequel to have something to shoot?

Rio quotes

  • Jewel: I can't believe I have to drag your clumsy butt up there.

    Blu: Drag me? Watch and learn.

    [he leads the way in climbing the tree house, dragging Jewel behind him]

    Jewel: Blu? Just wait! Woah, woah!

    Blu: Who's dragging whose butt now, huh?

    Jewel: [sarcastically] Ha ha, very funny.

  • Blu: [as Blu reaches the top of the tree house] You see? Who needs flying?

    Jewel: Birds. Birds need flying. Flying is... it's freedom and... and not having to rely on anyone. Don't you want that?

    Blu: Mmm, I don't know. Sounds a little lonely.

    Jewel: Get some sleep.

    Blu: Uh, I-I-I'm probably gonna be up for a little while. Well, cause I'm... I'm still on Minnesota time.

    Jewel: Goodnight.

    Blu: Good night, Jewel.

    [looks out into the sky]

    Blu: Good night, Linda.
