After "Frozen" pursues personal freedom and "ZooCraz" promotes racial tolerance, the theme of "Ocean" has reverted back to a more traditional style of 90 years: the protagonist (usually a princess) eager for adventure, but was cautious. 'S parents are forbidden, while the kind grandmother secretly encourages and reveals ancient secrets. As the disaster struck, the protagonist was chosen by the supernatural force as the savior, and he assumed the greatest responsibility. He survived all kinds of hardships and dangers, saved the tribe, and realized his own growth.
Polynesians are the earliest professional navigators of mankind. They conquered islands in the Pacific Ocean by canoe. There will be a plot in which future generations are afraid to go to sea? In fact, remove this shell, this is a typical story that has been told thousands of times by Disney in the past century. "Ocean" and "The Little Mermaid" and "Pocahontas" in the 90s, and even the "Crazy Primitives" (I know this is DreamWorks) in the past few years are exactly the same. Some of these sections are also very old-fashioned, such as Moana's dream at sea, such as the silly chicken that is actually quite boring.
However, it was after watching "Pocahontas" that I finally decided that Disney's tireless clichés are precisely where its strengths and confidence lies. The theme is simple and clear, and it can focus on expressiveness. Those who have been to Hawaii will be remembered by the bright blue sea and the hula dance of the grandmother in the film. This film has worked hard on Polynesian culture. Not only the name of the character, the origin of the gods, the craftsmanship of the canoe, but also the healthy skin color, simple facial features, plump body, and optimistic personality of the Polynesian people. When the protagonist Moana was a child, he first saw gems in the sea. In between, and in the leisurely movements of the old grandma dancing alone on the beach, everything went deep into the hearts of the audience.
Of course, the deepest accumulation of Disney is still singing and dancing. The song and dance of this movie has reached a new peak in terms of density and quality. This is the first time I have made the decision to buy the original soundtrack immediately after watching the movie. Several songs are not only very beautiful, but also have a strong emotional impact. Among them, there are many authors who can be called gods: there is a typical Disney pop style. Every time Moana cheers up from adversity, he sings "How Far I'll Go", which makes people immerse in Moana's firm belief and simple charm; there is also a strong The Polynesian wind, along with the "We Know the Way" of the ancestors riding the wind and waves, the majestic wind and the optimistic qualities of the Polynesian people, made my scalp numb, and I couldn't directly control the wet eye sockets.
Of course, Disney's musical talent does not stop there. From the coquettish and funny crab Boss, the neurotic David Bowie's "Shiny" is really amazing. All the songs are sung by the voice actors themselves, and all of them are talented.
These are enough. When these elements that are not new can still achieve the ultimate, the positive energy that is blowing in is hard to be rejected, even if it is "legacy". When the kind grandma is happy outside the house alone, she will tell you a touching or scary legend from time to time; when mom finds her daughter is preparing to go out for an adventure, under the worrying face of every mother, again At the moment when I silently helped my daughter pack up, I felt that the sincere interpretation of the "cheese" is universal value.
In addition, there are several small innovations that are different from the past, such as Maui's very active "mood tattoo", such as the weird coconut pirate, and the evil crab little Boss, as this moving positive The embellishment of energy, although "Pocahontas" has a cliché theme and a Chinese translation, when you walk into the theater, you will eventually be infected by it.
