There are three characters that impress me the most: Victor, who loves Sparky very much and is full of scientific creativity; science teacher with scary appearance, weird personality and tangled accent; and of course, Sparky, the lively puppy.
The film begins in a weird atmosphere. The family sits side by side on the sofa, watching the 3D cartoon of Sparky vs. monsters played by an old-fashioned home video player. At the end, there is a
story like "The end. Or is it?" Just started, and the protagonist is Sparky.
Everything was working fine until... One day, Victor was playing baseball and the last ball was too hard to hit the ball, he ran to pick it up, but Sparky was faster than him, and on the way Sparky picked it up and returned, a car suddenly Drive over, hit it to death. The ball rolls to Victor's feet and Sparky is killed under the wheel.
Seeing this, the first puppy I raised kept popping up in my mind. At that time, I was timid and didn't have many friends. The dog was always with me, and it also attracted many children to my house to see it. I still remember once I took it to the gate to get milk, it ran so fast, and I was very happy to run with it. But I was holding the milk in my left hand and the rope in my right, and accidentally fell down. The days with him are always full of joy, even if he breaks his knee, he doesn't seem to feel pain.
Unfortunately, I took it out for a walk one night, but it ran across the road on its own. We called it back, and it rushed back. In an instant, in the middle of the road, a car hit it, and then drove away. Before seeing its rigid body, I wished it could just lay down and escape from under the chassis of the car. Unfortunately, it still went away.
This scene in the film, as well as the Victor family burying the dog, is so familiar.
One night shortly afterward, Victor suddenly remembered the science teacher's experiment in which he electrocuted frogs to make his nerves twitch, and inspiration came to him. On a stormy day with lightning and thunder, he came to the grave where Sparky was buried, dug it up, and began his secret operation to resurrect Sparky.
In the attic, he debugged all kinds of rudimentary power generation and conduction equipment, launched a kite, and connected the conductors to Sparky. When everything was ready, the Sparky was transported to the rooftop. A flash of lightning, a thud, a burst, but Sparky didn't wake up. Victor hugged his beloved puppy and couldn't hold back the tears, only to find Sparky wagging his tail and sticking his head out, oh my gosh! Sparky is resurrected!
In order not to let everyone know this shocking secret, Vcitor hid the fact of Sparky's resurrection from everyone. Sparky still lives in its world, jumping at the owner when he sees it, chasing when he sees the cat, and playing when he sees the ball. I thought this would be a movie where the protagonist came to life after gaining strength. Maybe Sparky really came alive, but unfortunately, when he saw Sparky wagging his tail, his tail fell off; drink water, water It came out of the body; after eating flies, the flies flew out of the neck; when I was tired, instead of sleeping, I connected the electrodes to charge, and then I realized that Sparky was just a resurrected "robot dog". Not as before.
The story is far from simple. One day, Victor's classmates saw Sparky accidentally and threatened him that if he didn't tell him how to bring animals back to life, he would tell Victor's mother about Sparky's resurrection. Victor had no choice but to show him the secret of the resurrection, and the classmate also promised not to tell others. But after bringing a fish back to life, the classmate failed to keep it a secret, and told the other four students about the incident one after another, so they went to the cemetery to dig up their original pets in the cemetery, or Find some dead animals around you, and use lightning to revive them. Unexpectedly, they all turned into monsters.
In fact, what the science teacher said to Victor as he left had already laid the groundwork for the amusement park commotion at Dutch Day. “You think science is here(in your brain), but it is also here(in your heart). …Science is not good or bad, but it can be used both ways. That is why you should always be careful.”
When Victor did the first experiment, his heart was full of love for Sparky, how he hoped that Sparky would come back; and the second experiment, just experiment for the sake of experiment; one is doing it with heart, the other is perfunctory Of course, the results were quite different.
The monsters resurrected by the classmates are running around, and the playground is already in chaos. Victor's timely appearance prevented a disaster. While people panic, Victor calmly figures out ways to use salt against freshwater seahorse monsters, electric shocks against giant turtles, and more. Finally, he chased back to the windmill cabin to save the terrified classmate and her poodle. Sparky saw the owner running to the windmill cabin, took the classmate's hat and came to Victor's parents, but they didn't understand Sparky's intention. In the chaos, the reborn Sparky scared the boy's neighbors, and they also regarded the dog as a dog. for monsters. Neighbors chased the dog, forced the dog into the windmill cabin, and nearly burned Victor, who was fighting the bat cat in the cabin. But the smart and tenacious Sparky rescued the boy from the fire and continued to fight the monster, and finally died in the collapsed wooden house. The neighbors and the boy's parents were deeply moved and determined to revive it again. They used car engines to make electricity, once again saving Sparky, once again making the impossible possible...
The story is still Disney's usual happy ending, and many say it would have been better if Sparky hadn't woken up. Maybe, but I still hope it wakes up, because when I see it suddenly come to life and pounce on its owner again, the kind of touching and warmth is incomparable, just like watching the last scene of "Changjiang No. 7", the Yangtze River No. The scene with the friends coming back is unforgettable.
The theme of coming back to life has been given a lot of room to play. It's a pity that nothing comes back to life in real life, and the things that left are still gone after all.
Victor thought that Sparky's second resurrection failed, and he said to it with tears: "Sparky, my boy, don't have to come back. You're always being in my heart." At this time, Victor's heart must be very complicated , He wanted Sparky to come back, but he was worried that Sparky would work too hard and would cause more problems after he came back. Victor, grown up.
Let it go, letting go may be the best release for those people or things that we can't hold onto. Love sometimes accompanies and sometimes leaves.
