Woman: I feel strange after watching this short video. The story is too simple, right? Didn’t you say that Oscar-level movies have never been so easy to understand? It's just such a tin toy, it doesn't want to see a little baby sad after a fall, and makes him happy regardless of danger... How can such a slight emotional turn win the award ?
What do you mean: If this tin toy can be replaced with a little duck, the car will be fine too?
Woman: Yes, how can it be impossible to write, isn't it just such an ordinary segment?
If you know the predecessor of Pixar Studio, if you know that at the top computer conference SIGGRAPH, this epoch-making 3-minute edited version shocked everyone present. After the film was broadcast, the audience stood up for it. Applause , and then, "The Tin Iron Soldiers" won an Oscar...
Woman: Of course I know that this is also the first short computer animation to win an Oscar.
This is the biggest problem. If an art student, a director, or an art practitioner, they feel the same after seeing a short film from a junior high school student or even a primary school student, do you think he really understands the artistic connotation? Why does such a short film win so many awards?
Woman: I really don’t know the good thing...?
This short film is indeed very difficult to understand, so I will take you to analyze it and see where the secrets of this film are...
At the beginning of the film, we found a few things on the ground, paper bags, transparent toy boxes, a string of colorful beads, pyramid toys, and tin skin soldiers...
Female: Yes! I also struggled with my brain, trying to find out some mystery or clues from these kinds of props, but I really couldn't find any...
Well, let me take you to analyze it. Let’s see, when the little soldier finds a baby crawling towards him, the little soldier’s expression is very happy, kind, right?
Woman: That's right! Tin Boy is really kind, he likes children very much and hopes to make friends with him. But that baby seems to be an idiot , and has a terrifying face , not cute at all...
Okay, then let's call him Trump! Trump baby bit a plastic ring of the pyramid toy with his teeth and tore off the bead necklace, right?
Female: Yes! The soldier felt bad and planned to run... and I noticed that Trump baby had a long nose and was wearing an exaggerated big diaper like a steel helmet. He was in a state of lack of mind...
The baby is like this. When he grows up, he will be a good monkey, and maybe he can manage the earth! The key is what he came into contact with in the process of growing up, how to learn and experience his life...
The plot behind is very simple. The soldier ran under the sofa and found many toys trembling. Let us now pay attention to what exactly does this tin soldier and baby have in common?
According to the four-dimensional one-piece pull-sheet analysis method , let's analyze the characters.
Woman: I didn't find anything, how could there be something in common? Let's make a comparison:
1 I just said that Xiao Trump’s saliva and big nose run out, he wears diapers in his crotch at any time , and he cries when he falls on the ground , he can’t stand still , he doesn’t know how to play with toys, he has no self-control and self-control. Power, destructive power is extremely strong...
2 Let's talk about Xiaobing: You can't walk with your hands and feet, and you can't even make a sound. It makes a noise as long as it moves, kicks and clanks, and moves like ...
Woman: Yes, how should we summarize these two states?
involuntarily!
Female: Yes! From a certain point of view, they do have this commonality, and neither of them can control their own limbs or even a certain aspect of their actions.
Yes! Which toys will we look at, and what characteristics will you find? The gold tower plastic rings are placed in order of size. Obviously, Trump's parents used them to unlock the intelligence of their children.
Woman: Obviously, Little Trump has no brains to play with this stuff at this time...Haha
Well, wait until he is eight years old before playing...! Also, that string of beads, paper bags and toy packaging boxes... We can imagine that Trump’s parents first took out the toy packaging box from the paper bag and took out the soldiers from the inside , and then took out the beads from the paper bag in turn. Pyramid ... You are all stories behind the screen, requiring imagination and artistic thinking. What can you see from the content I summarized...?
Female:……,? ? ? ...
logic! Behavioral logic!
It also includes the concept of order, like a pyramid, like that string of beads, there is a clue!
Woman: Oh, you reminded me that I was a little bit awake! Little Trump broke the beads. Obviously, all his behaviors were illogical and brainless. His dementia reaction and state , including his emotions, would cry and laugh at the same time , making the Tin Man not know what to do. Coax him, right?
Trump is a typical involuntary state without behavioral logic . As for Tin Soldier, although he can't control his body to make noise, he still can control his emotions and thoughts .
Female: Yes, it shows that Xiaobing has behavioral logic!
What is the logic of that soldier's behavior?
Female: It's caring and kindness, right?
Love and kindness, a heart of gold...
This is the baton that determines a series of behaviors of the minions, just like the line of a bead. Note that this is a trajectory, and the logic of behavior has a trajectory!
Just like the props at the beginning of the movie, paper bags, paper boxes, beads... seemingly messy, they are actually tracks of behavior!
Woman: Yes, yes, although the little soldier ran into the box in a panic, he actually had a track. Later he came out of the sofa and coaxed the child to be happy. There was logic and a track to follow!
So do you remember the opening, close-ups one by one, starting from the paper bag, to the plastic box... and finally to the soldier...
Woman: Oh, yes, there are rules to follow. Hi, after what you said, the three-minute video is really deep...
Okay, now that I understand, I will test you a few more questions
Woman: Say it, I'm ready now too!
Why is the box of Tin Tin Soldiers transparent?
Woman: It's the packing box, it's all like this! Of course, there is another meaning, which shows that Xiaobing has a heart of gold , knows how to care and considerate, treat people kindly, warm and friendly, clear and transparent...
kindness! well said! These few words of you are the level of professional film critics. Let me ask again, why at the end of the film, the soldier is still chasing Trump...?
Female: Obviously, the soldier has no ill will towards Trump. Even if he is still on, there is no resentment. The soldier just hopes to make friends with Trump baby, because there is a scene where the soldier touches Trump’s feet with his small hands. The feeling of love. In addition, as you said, Xiaobing and Trump have one thing in common, and they ca n't help but become a pair of good friends and playmates.
Yes, at the end of the film, Xiaobing follows Trump, which also symbolizes:
Love, follow and accompany the growth of Trump. Loving each other. This child must be a kind person who knows how to care when he grows up.
Female: Oh, really, our life trajectory should also have love, kindness, and sunshine . That is a clear line of emotion... Your interpretation is really feel!
Haha, this film presents behavioral logic and examines the audience's thinking logic!
Children have children’s toys, and adults have adult toys. Watching a movie is to examine your vision and thinking. These are artistic skills... Why do I want to comment on these Oscars? Because of the different levels, they naturally have heights.
Woman: That is that. I also think you are already immersed in this, and you are indeed superior! I now find that this short film is no less difficult to understand than "Three Billboards"
This is indeed the case. The theme of the movie is about logic, it must be so! So let me tell you, these should all be classified as brain-burning works, which can't be seen by ordinary kung fu. It requires extremely professional people to comment and analyze.
Do you now understand why everyone stood up and applauded at the film festival?
Female: Hi, if you don’t understand, there is no feel, sitting there like a fool, it’s definitely boring!
Yeah, how embarrassing it is!
Some of the above comments are definitely nonsense, and you can ignore them!
But art is like this, no matter whether you look at her squarely or not, they always exist...just like that track on the ground, someone can always see and applaud for it...
