To sum up the film in general terms: the wonderful adventures of a group of pets after their respective owners go to work. And because it was released after another big hit movie "Zootopia", which is also an animal adventure theme, I have certain expectations for this movie Love House and Uodi. But after watching the whole film carefully, I think it is a bit below my expectations. The first is that the theme is not clear and the main line is scattered. Because the "villain Boss" rabbit Snow ball's revenge organization in the movie originally existed for the reason of "revenge on human beings", but because the director did not want to portray human beings as heinous, even for the final perfect finale. , had to weaken the contradiction between animals and humans by passing the link of "the harm of stray animals from humans" - but this will inevitably make the villain "unjustifiable", its motives It becomes very far-fetched, and the "Chasing Max" plot that unfolds because of its impetus is difficult to stand. Look at the emotional changes between Duke and Max's two dogs - this could have been a dark line. If done well, it should be that the two characters who were fighting at the beginning finally shook hands after a series of adventures and challenges. Everyone is happy, but the director missed many opportunities to show the "friendship" of the two characters: Duke reminded Max to "run quickly" when he was chased by the administration and turned back, the first escape from the underground organization of the rabbit snow ball... The audience, my perception is that it is not salty or bland, and I even think that the director is not running this line at all. In the end, what puzzled me is that there should be a third line in the film - that is Max's admirers who organized friends to rescue the missing Max. I don't know how the director managed to make the related clues clear. . But in fact, they can both tell good stories and create brilliant points. I can feel that this film wants to tell too many things, but unfortunately it does not grasp a key point. Contrast the big villain in "Crazy Zoo" who incites carnivores to harm the residents, because its existence allows the two protagonists, the rabbit and the fox, to carry out the activity of "investigating the case" - so that the purpose is clear and the main line is clear; while the two rabbits and foxes The emotional changes of this character impress many audiences because they have run-in, misunderstanding, and understanding - this is a line with ups and downs. Second, I want to talk about character building. Some people may say that the "villain is not like a villain" problem I mentioned above is because of snow Ball is not a complete villain at all, it also has a brave and kind side. I agree with this, but I'd still say that goodness in the back of evil concessions isn't the only way to add charm to a character, the rabbit's behavior pattern is erratic and baseless, and facing justice or representing evil seems to serve the plot specifically: When it's time to let Max escape, he chases him wildly; when it's time for a big reunion, he dives to save people. Like "Despicable Me", also known as "Despicable Me", it is the sense of justice that "defeats" evil that makes the charm point a plus. There are many characters in "The Secret Pet 1". Except for the rabbit, Max should be the protagonist with a relatively heavy weight, but I will not analyze him here, because according to the preview of "The Secret Pet 2", the second The ministry should focus on his transformation. He really didn't have much protagonist halo in the first part. I'll talk about it after reading the second part. "The Secret Life of Pets 1" is not without merit, it still has many interesting supporting roles that stand out: for example, the lady dog tweeted contrastingly for love, such as the eagle who overcomes his nature for friends, and so on. But I don't know if it's the style of the film. Most of the characters' behavior patterns are nonsensical, with a bit of absurd comedy, and they don't pay too much attention to details. I still hope that the second part can fill the gaps that the first part hastily brought, because I always believe that the charm of the characters comes from the details, and the completion of a complete story is inseparable from the charming characters. Especially recently revisiting "Spirited Away", there are more small supporting roles in it, and the details of the supporting roles are also memorable. Overall, this is a well-established film, with beautiful pictures, but the moving of people is greatly reduced in the messy narrative, and I still look forward to the change of the second part.
