Everyone is very satisfied with the translation this time, "summer" and "friendship", plus a homophonic stalk: the metaphor of "sunny day" echoes the rainy day at the end. A title that summarizes the entire film in seven, seven, eight, eight ways. From the perspective of its function, this title can give a high score, but when a title is summarized in such detail, it seems to become a strong fence. Framed the direction of development that could lead to 10 Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand readers. Although "friendship" is the standard answer selected by the director, is there any other emotion? The director also admits that the sea monster is a cool metaphor. As a metaphor for lgbtq or refugees or other ontology, it is not a Can.
After all, Disney's low-cost production of "Frozen" became popular because it accidentally hit the edge of lgbtq, and a Let it Go song finally became an out-of-the-closet song. For a cartoon like LUCA, which has accidentally hit many elements of the top homosexual film in the past five years, it is not a good thing to have too strong homosexuality. Second, they will be called rotten and politically correct.
If Pixar, which made LUCA, was not Pixar, which was acquired by Disney, then perhaps the audience would not think that Luca and Alberto's relationship is as offensive as the suspicion of love. But because it is Disney with a lot of ex-cons, it is no wonder that the audience is so confused.
But speaking of Pixar being sold to Disney by Steve Jobs in 2006, it's strange that I didn't experience until these two days that Pixar was inevitably stained with some Disney colors. Of Pixar's last 11 animated feature films since "Monsters University", I've seen two in theaters, and the other is the final piece of Toy Story, but Toy Story is an old story, as Pixar Making a fortune, when Woody and Buzz Lightyear met, Pixar was an independent Pixar.
It’s a pity that I’ve been looking forward to Inside Out for a long time, but I didn’t watch it. When Coco was released, I was still in my third year of high school, and I was too busy and didn’t have time. At that time, I also browsed Soul, a man who loves Zhuangzi and Wang Jiaer. My classmates praised it as Pixar's New Year's gift for stressed people. I wanted to watch it. After returning home from the holiday, I found that the movie theater in front of my house only had the Mandarin version. After a few struggles, I decided to take a half-hour bus to another movie theater. , but after a few days of hesitation, it went offline.
This time, when LUCA was released, there were seven or eight films a day, all in Mandarin.
I was so angry that I sent out such a violent drink in QQ space:
My mother died of laughter and suggested that I complain. So I put on a good show at Tao Piao Piao:
Finally got an original 3D game. And there is only one game left every day. It is estimated that no one is watching the Chinese version.
Closer to home, as I took the title, I think the core words of this film are friendship and dreams. It happens that these two themes have been discussed thoroughly in other feature films of Pixar and even Disney. It can be said that they are the elements created by Pixar. topic. Friendship is a topic that has been discussed since Pixar made a fortune in the first film "Toy Story". I think the friendship of toys can be said to be difficult to surpass (of course, no one wants to surpass it), which macho can be in the toys Can you hold back your tears when holding hands and facing the fire? After that, the friendship between the good students and the bad students in "Monster Power Company" is also very special and touching. Although friendship is a common topic, the friendship in "Summer Friendship Day" is very distinctive and different from the friendship shown in other works. It seems a bit confusing to distinguish it from love, and it makes people wonder: Is there also possessiveness in friendship? It's also about letting go, about the sacrifice of friendship in the face of dreams.
Due to the discussion of dreams, "Dream Travel" is in front, and "Summer Friends Sunny Day" is difficult to surpass. But the wonderful thing about Coco is not the pursuit of dreams itself, but the concept of death and family derived from the Day of the Dead is so cool. On the other hand, the cultural support of LUCA is mainly Italian pop culture in the 1950s and 1960s, which is also very beautiful. But compared to Coco's atmosphere, it lacks the essence. This can be said to be a congenital deficiency of the story of LUCA, which is difficult to change and not fatal. The really important thing is that some of the back and forth in the script are very blunt. The most sudden thing in my mind is that after Luca and Alberto quarreled, Luca went to the island to find Alberto, and caught a glimpse of the lettering in the tower, so he asked Alberto, which led to the cool appearance. Hyun's friend actually hides the fear of being abandoned.
It was so sudden, it could have been a shot of the lettering on the wall before but I didn't see it.
In short, the whole movie is very warm. In terms of soundtrack, there is a melody, which first appeared at 3:40 of Meet Luca. It's funny, I turned on the electronic organ that I haven't touched for many years - at this time due to a circuit failure, all the mi's are dumb - after deliberation for a long time, I figured out the first half of this melody, the second half is basically the same except for the last three or four notes. Went down a bit, but I couldn't figure out the pitch. Although I tried hard to hear half of it, I can't seem to type out the input method, so I can't share my findings with you here. QAQ
Going back to this melody, the opening song of the film, Meet Luca, has a very strong sense of rhythm, in the style of an animal world documentary, quickly cutting into the daily life of underwater creatures. But the core melody that runs through the whole film as a thread at the end is very lyrical, and its lyricality is expressed most vividly in Vespa è Libertà (Vespa and Liberty). Every time this melody appears without warning in the film, I have a strong urge to cry, and on the penultimate attempt, when Luca said to himself that his shoulders represent friends fighting for Vespa, in The last event bike in the summer triathlon was trapped by a sudden heavy rain. Alberto was holding a bright blue umbrella (a closer look is estimated to be a shelter from a vegetable stall) - Seeing this scene, I really couldn't hold back my tears.
The director said the film was based on his own experiences when he was young and growing up Alberto, and he intended to reflect that friendship, even though he also left Italy for a dream when he was 20 years old.
I think the role of "dream" in this film is still a bit instrumental, or because Luca's dream has always been "the world is so big, I want to see it", so Luca wants to go beyond surface ( Luca and the others call the sea surface, this wording is very suitable for the theory that "language is located in life"), Luca wants to own a small Vespa brand electric donkey, Luca wants to go to school to learn more knowledge and use it better Observing extraterrestrial planets with a telescope... Luca's dreams seem to be constantly changing, but they remain the same. He is a little boy who is full of curiosity about the world.
When I saw this, I felt a little sad. I remembered that when I was seven years old, I played the electronic piano with my little sister Hengheng who lived upstairs in my house. At first, she started to learn it first. , my dad asked the boss to borrow 10,000 yuan to buy a piano. Since then, during weekends and holidays, the two of us have been together, playing music at my house, and listening to her play "Swan Lake" at her house. The opening of ——Hengheng is still a lot more serious than me. Later, I had a new dream. For example, when I started to learn to write in the third grade, I wrote in the composition that my dream was to be a writer. In fifth and sixth grade, around eleven, I read a lot of Margaret Thatcher biographies and dreamed of being a politician. However, I ended up holding on to none of them, and by the time Luca's age (12/13) I had no dreams.
Regarding the issue of pre-puberty emphasized by the director, that is, there is no relationship between the characters, I don't think it is possible... Luca is 12/13 years old, Abeto is one year older than him, Julia should be about the same age as Luca , At this age, there is no emotion beyond friendship, which is entirely up to the character's personal creation.
Summer vacation, friendship, two little boys, one little girl, the same configuration is reminiscent of "To Kill a Mockingbird". This book Liscutt just entered elementary school, and Dill "privately agreed for life".
Just as Harper Lee and Truman Capote, the archetypes of Scooter and Dill in the book, grew from childhood sweethearts in the Deep South to unignorable figures in the history of modern American literature, I think LUCA almost contains the future of Hollywood. It may be a bit exaggerated, at least two of Hollywood's most promising young boys are in this movie, Tremblay has shown the acting skills of "exploding" in Zhao Baogang's words from the beginning of "Room", Grazer, I have known it since Shazam Yes, I already gave it a bit in Shazam, and it did came out as bisexual in March. A very cute little boy, after saying "I'm bi", he shouted a classic line in LUCA: Silenzio Bruno!
However, considering that the flowering period of male actors is quite short, if the little boys are not well maintained, they may soon be eliminated from the industry, but so far, I am still looking forward to their future works, such as the sequel of Shazam. Pixar used its high-energy technology to perfectly capture the physical features of the two actors, such as Jacob's large eyes and innocent expression, and Jack Dylan's indifferent expression. (Shazam Zachary Levi, who Jack worked with, also dubbed Disney's Tangled in his early years, but the character in it can be said to be nothing like him, and Flynn Rider is much more handsome.) For the two young actors, during the epidemic, During the period, I used dubbing to hone my acting skills, which has to be said to be a performance during the new crown period.
A coincidence is that Jack starred in "Please call me by your name" director Luca Guadagnino's TV series We Are Who We Are (True Color). There is also a coincidence that there is a promotional image in which Luca floats on his back on the water, with a human shape on the top and scales and tails on the bottom. This action is actually very similar to the way the heroine and the girl she has a crush on in the pool of "Half Understanding" , Wu Siwei wants to use this to interpret the love myth in "The Symposium". It can be seen that the starting points of the two works are completely different, but they happen to use similar pictures. This is not like when I wrote about love before, saying that the scene where two of the characters are floating on the water is very suspicious. On the one hand, the popularity of Thai dramas is not at the same level as the former. Even if the former is an independent film, it is not directly invested by a major factory, and it is also very well-known worldwide. Just as writers cannot plagiarize other writers, but students can recite famous passages in their compositions without fear of punishment.
The last coincidence, Massimo's cat looks a bit like a friend's British Shorthair, especially the expression that is not very friendly, which makes me shudder with practice.
In fact, there is another coincidence! My dad suggested that I invite my neighbor sister to see her because her teddy's name is Luca...
