I will not discuss the plot itself here, only the ideological concepts that are quietly output under the story. This film once again fully expresses the colored glasses of Westerners. I will compare several aspects of the description of East and West in the film:
1. Monster face (image shaping)
The Western Bigfoot (Susan) has a naive face, round face, round eyes, orange represents enthusiasm, and at first glance is kind (see the fat panda, who dares to say that I am not cute, let him sit in prison ,Humph!).
The snowmen of the East have abominable and hateful faces, with an inverted triangular face, slender eyes, and cyan representing indifference, especially the snowman patriarch, who feels evil at first sight without speaking (refer to Western witches who tempt others to eat apples).
2. Monster behavior
In order to find their relatives, Western Bigfoot has gone through untold hardships, overcoming obstacles, overcoming all kinds of difficulties and obstacles, and helping each other to find a destination with friends, which is simply a symbol of bravery and justice. Shows the optimistic and brave character of Westerners (Westerners represent justice).
The only way for the Eastern Yeti to meet distant relatives is spears and ridicule. It has only narrow prejudice and rejection toward the same race. It is suspected of racial discrimination by mocking the color of Bigfoot hair (it may not mean this here, but I have to say that the most racial discrimination in the world The more serious thing is that Western whites, all the thieves cry out to catch thieves), do not want people to know that Shangri-La expresses the timidity of the Orientals, so it is self-proclaimed and unwilling to share such selfish character. Locking the protagonist and others into the hole directly shows the nature of the yeti demon (the Oriental represents the devil).
3. Comparison of roles between East and West
The protagonist of the West, a typical gentleman, humorous, upright, proud, stubborn for friends, born to death, bravely resisted in the face of threats, and finally accepted Susan into human society Contrast formed by the narrowness of the world. The police of the world are not in vain, all for world peace?.)
The Tibetan grandmother began to say that she wanted to protect Shangri-La's secrets forever, but when her grandson was being held hostage, she compromised and told the wicked destination. In terms of the plot, everything seemed reasonable and reasonable, but when people watched it, people would subconsciously think that the old lady was cowardly afraid to fight and had no resourcefulness. Deal with the enemy. Portrays the cowardly and cowardly character of the Orientals. (Recently, the depiction of the Oriental grandmother as spitting and swearing in American film and television dramas caused a large-scale backlash.)
Of course, justice defeated evil in the end, and everyone was happy. But the subtle contrasts among them are the current Westerners' views of the Chinese.
Only when we Chinese are truly strong, not only economically and militaryly, but also ideologically, can the robbers face us Chinese.
Finally, some Chinese, please stop kneeling and licking foreign adults. We have stood up in 49 years.
