The translated name of "Crazy Alien" in the dream poetry book is so abstract and casual compared to this new DreamWorks work. I personally prefer the name "Home". The movie uses a wanted alien. The absurd adventure with a girl looking for a mother not only reveals the love and affection of the family, but also reflects the problems of the big family in the world and the beautiful long-cherished wish of harmonious coexistence.


Like DreamWorks’ past works, the film is full of wild fantasies. "Crazy Aliens" uses a childlike approach to tell a story about aliens invading and occupying the earth. A group of displaced Boss will The earth is regarded as a treasure place for settlement, and they simply regard humans as low-level creatures in need of help, and they "help" humans occupy the earth in their own way. Xiao Ou, who is not so adapted to the lifestyle of the Boss, accidentally puts his own party The invitation was sent to the mortal enemy of the Boss. He was wanted and met the little girl who had not been taken away to find her mother. A road-style journey with friendship and affection started from this, and in this "Crazy Alien" "The big difference from previous DreamWorks works lies in its deep thinking about hegemonism.


The Bossian’s occupation of the earth in their eyes is a kind of assistance to mankind. In the movie, the Bossed people unified and concentrated human beings, gave them habitable houses, built a casino, and built a platform that seemed to be able to communicate. Then came the dignified encroachment, and completely eliminated the things that I considered useless, and transformed the earth according to my own wishes. The irrationality in my own eyes should not exist, and it cooperates with the joke created by the ignorant bureaucratic despotism of the Bossian captain Smike. The film’s humorous humor shows that American hegemonic thinking has penetrated into people’s subconscious metaphors. Its presentation and can also match the innocent childishness of DreamWorks’ work style. Perhaps this innocence is already a bit old-fashioned in the eyes of adults. The film's enlightenment for children to establish a correct worldview is indeed commendable.


Home is the core proposition that runs through "Crazy Aliens". The earth girl Xiaoqian finally found her own mother, and the enthusiastic and alternative Xiao Ou also changed the inherent selfishness and indifference of the entire Bossians. The mortal enemy is nothing more than a misunderstanding of lack of communication. Courage, tolerance and communication are the thoughts that the film sends to the audience when facing the big family of the earth. This corresponds to the words of many works before DreamWorks Animation, maybe " "Crazy Aliens" has a solid form in its presentation techniques, but it has changed from a comical and pleasing style, forging a deeper connotation comparable to Pixar's "Robot Story".


At the end of the movie, the party invitation sent by Bossian Xiaoou by mistake attracts more aliens to come to the earth to participate in the party carnival. Seeing the big from the small is our home. In fact, we who live on the earth are like the movies. Many innate estrangements, but lack of courage, tolerance and communication.

    Simple and beautiful, the 4-year-old nephew especially loves to watch it. The song of Rehanna and Jennifer Lopez is so good.
