The Sing movie I watched on the plane, to tell the truth, the current animation movies are not simple... I feel like starting with "Zootopia", some American animation movies have begun to change their styles. It's no longer a gag-style funny plot that feels like it was forced into the movie to make up for the length of the movie, or a clichéd plot that starts to sing and dance at a disagreement, making the adults present in the movie theater very embarrassed for a time.
In fact, in terms of the overall plot, if such a script is placed in a live-action movie, it will inevitably be a bit cliché. But the key is that this is an animated film, and the prefix "animation" itself adds a more "simple" element to the film. Like Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales, which I have never been tired of seeing since I was a child, it removes various impurities and complex additions in the adult world, and presents a truth itself or a simple emotion in the most primitive manner in front of the audience. . Children can't understand so many complex components, so in order to increase the fun and tell more truths to children, there are fairy tales. And the modern mass media has produced so many animated films to present to the audience, and the same is true.
Andersen said that the fairy tales he wrote were for children as well as adults. At the same time, let children and adults use different thinking to understand the same fairy tale. However, Andersen did it anyway. My first Andersen fairy tale was obtained in the third grade of elementary school. At that time, I only regarded it as entertainment and to complete the homework of the extracurricular readings assigned by the teacher on time. That Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale is not the kind of children's book with pinyin and a bunch of illustrations, but a literal translation of the original version, which is almost full text for teenagers. I have to say that when I read Andersen's fairy tales at that time, the feeling was very complicated, because to be honest, I didn't understand it very well at that time, and I felt something vaguely felt, but I lacked some understanding. I don't understand why some of the fairy tales in it have a sad emotion mixed with a hint of hope. Just like when I was too young to understand emotions other than the most common emotions. But when I read the already quite old Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale after the third year of junior high school, the previous hazy suddenly became brighter. And I believed then that I would understand more later.
How do I say this feeling, it's like the phrase "History always spirals upwards", I don't remember when or where I read this sentence, but after I understood this sentence, there was a time when I often Put it on your lips. Not only is history always strikingly similar, but so is one's memory and understanding of the same thing. Just like me in the third grade of elementary school and me in the third grade of junior high school reading a book again after six years. But no matter how similar the history is, it will never be the same. "Man does not step into the same river twice." Everything in the world is in motion. The third grade of elementary school and the third grade of junior high school have different understandings of things, so I can discover more hidden information in fairy tales. It is precisely because adults also pay attention to fairy tales. Another very important point is that it is not children who really have the final say in evaluating the quality of an animated film. It is also interesting to say that the film is made for children, and the film reviews are written by adults. Children are only responsible for understanding the most "simple" part, friendship and dreams... Barabara. The hidden information is discovered and understood by adults.
So much nonsense, let's get down to business. In my opinion, Sing's film is not only for children, but adults can watch it as well. But what's a little different is that this movie, even children, will find it. Even if it is "everyone who has a dream is amazing", not everyone has the perseverance to fulfill their dreams, and not everyone has the consciousness to endure the hardships they have experienced on the road of pursuing their dreams. Too many people give up easily. There is a simple truth in this movie. Adults have been brainwashed by it, and children are being brainwashed by it - as long as you work hard, you can succeed. What exactly is the definition of "effort"? In most animated films, no no no, too many inspirational films, there are too many montage scenes like this: the protagonist first shouts a few slogans with his/her friends, and then a string of seemingly "hard work" "The scene flashed by the cheerful and collected background music. In order to avoid the audience saying that the number of frames was made up or getting bored, this kind of scene that highlights the "hard work" of the protagonist generally does not exceed one minute. Well, a decision that can affect the protagonist's life, "working hard" for less than a minute [smiles], yes. Even if it is a daily bowel movement, it takes at least two or three minutes. The most brainwashing thing about this scene is the cheerful and collected background music. Under the catalysis of this cheerful and collected, the audience's emotions are greatly stimulated. It gives you a brainwashing delusion that "success is easy" and "as long as you work hard you can succeed". If anyone grows up with this kind of awareness and finally succeeds, then I really thank his family.
Digressing away again...Sing this movie. Almost the entire article is about how the protagonist and his friends work hard to achieve their dreams (nonsense). But what's new is that each person (in fact, each animal) has different obstacles on the road to success. It is not an obstacle of evil forces, this is not a fighting animation between justice and evil, but a responsibility or emotion that has penetrated into our daily life, and we cannot let go. It is these routines, the routines that we carry with them every day, that have become the biggest obstacles on the road to our dreams. Maybe you are a housewife who is overwhelmed by the stereotypes of life, singing is your only pastime; maybe you are the son of a gang boss who dreams of singing, and you do not want to inherit his father's business, so you have a estrangement from your father; maybe you It's a frustrated girl who took the road of singing to support her boyfriend but was cheated on by her boyfriend; maybe you have a big opera dream but a poor boss who doesn't have your own talent; maybe you are very talented but afraid to show off your singing voice. Shy girl...maybe you are a lot of people. Going forward on the road of dreams, but blocked all the way, you are thinking about whether to give up. This movie can't say that it will give you an accurate answer. It can only say that maybe you will give up soon, and you are already standing on the edge of a cliff in pursuit of your dreams. This movie might make you hesitate a bit. Of course, it's just maybe. After all, this is just a fairy tale, and even if history is spiraling upward, whether you choose to continue exploring fairy tales is only a small branch of your many decisions. After all, everyone can succeed just by working hard.
