Separation is not the change that makes friendships stronger
It's very successful as an animated film, and as a sequel, well, the theme is much deeper than the first. Under the theme of friendship, I just want to say what I think about the friendship between Ralph and Vanellope on the show.
The film's apparent conflict is over "friendship" and "dream", but in fact, it reflects an overly realistic issue. Growing up, I was destined to wave goodbye to some friends. They are just friends who accompany you through a journey, not friends who accompany you through a lifetime. In reality, we often encounter this situation: former good friends can't keep up with your vision, can't catch up with your words, and can't integrate into your new circle of friends. Of course you won't break up because of this, but if you met for the first time at this time, you can be sure that you wouldn't choose him as a friend.
In the first installment, Ralph and Winnelope have gone on a thrilling adventure. Generally speaking, such two people are destined to be good friends. But as we can see, in the second part, the two people have a different understanding of friendship. For Winnelope, friendship is the ladder of her growth, and she realizes her dream by harvesting friendship. For Ralph, friendship is something he guards his entire life. Of course, there's no right or wrong, but I sympathize a little more with Ralph. Because under the influence of oriental culture, most oriental people will think that the position of friendship is more important.
Take some works as an example. In China, there has always been Fan Zhang, who killed his dead friend and buried his life together with his dead friend in order to make his dead friend defeat Jing Ke. In order to be able to attend the banquet on time, his soul flew over the landscape to see his friend after his suicide. The turn of chicken and millet. In the traditional view, friendship is more important than life. And close friends will not change because of the years. Most of the acquaintances of these friends are normal, but once they are identified as friends, they will never be alienated for any reason. On the scale of dreams and camaraderie, Eastern values lean towards camaraderie. Say a simpler example. If Luffy is standing in front of the door of ONE PIECE, a sphinx or something is guarding the treasure, telling Luffy that if he wants a big treasure, he must disband the pirate group and say goodbye to your friends. Otherwise you give up the treasure and go back to sea with your mates. Which do you think Luffy will choose?
Of course, this oriental attitude towards friendship is too ideal today. For most modern people, when faced with a choice between dreams and friendship, it is better not to stab a friend in the back. Beautiful friendships only exist in old stories, but Americans dare to photograph them directly. But that's the pity -- as a comedy at the heart of a tragedy, this tragedy couldn't unfold more fully because of the destined HE. Vanellope stayed in Asphalt, Ralph returned to the arcade world, and their friendship was destined to drift away. Their life trajectories and the world they live in are too different. There may be occasional phone calls, and we meet every few months, but the friendship won't last. In the film, "true friendship will be stronger because of change (probably this meaning)" rounded up the past. And in fact, it's a complete bummer. Change also has forward and reverse. Changes that make friendships stronger are crises and trials, and for Ralph and Vanellope, who forged a friendship over a crisis that would destroy a video game world, their friendship was strong enough. And the separation of two places, long-term absence - this kind of change will never make the friendship stronger. For a family-friendly ending, at the end of the film, the film desperately tries to dissolve the tragedy into a range that can make the audience laugh again - the reconciliation of the two, the phone call, the Easter eggs that make trouble together... But this cannot eliminate the two The fact that people are no longer as close as they used to be. And over time, their friendship will never go back to the way it was before.
If there's a third installment, I hope poor Ralph has a new friend. A friend who really understands each other with him, and puts friendship first in life just like him.
