Mom is (really) Superman

Before the start of the film, the main creative staff had a few words of "confession". The last sentence said: "Thank you for your 14 years of waiting. Believe me, it is worth it." As a small fan of the Superman family, I couldn't help but feel a little moved.

I look forward to the release of Superman

I still clearly remember the day I watched the first "The Incredibles" when I was in junior high school, and I opened a new shop selling pirated DVDs downstairs, where I bought the latest cartoon with a red cover. of. On a day when my parents were away, she and I, who are still best friends, sat lazily on the sofa, drank a drink, and watched the movie with a laugh. There is no dubbing and the subtitles are terrible. Many special effects may look old-fashioned now, but the sweet aroma of that summer still lingers. With the passing of time, it brought me from Beijing to New York, and also brought me from a childish youth. The undressed little girl became the mother of a child.

Before going to bed last night, my daughter put on her sleeping bag, the sleeves were put on, her legs were still outside, and the sleeping bag hung behind her neck, looking like a cloak. She said to me: "Mom, look at me as a Superhero!" I said, "Yes, you are mom's superhero." The daughter said, "Mom, you are my supermom, and I am your superbaby." I laughed. We watched the first "The Incredibles" on the computer together, but she didn't expect her to remember it.

The second part touched me a lot, but as a mother, what I like most is its strong humanistic care. Elastic women in family life, like every ordinary wife and mother, are busy, meticulous, and sometimes seem restless and long-winded. As a superman, she used to be so free and easy, confident, and unhurried. Mother Superman returns to the workplace. When a new job opportunity comes, she has some self-doubt, surprises and eager ambitions, but she can't let go of the worries of the three children.

Although Mr. Superman is arrogant, reckless, and has a machismo plot, he still fully supports his wife's career. Not only is the wife's career (maybe) able to realize his own ideals, but also because it "can create an opportunity for our children." So we saw Mr. Superman, who was once omnipotent, making breakfast for the children, sending the children to school, tutoring homework, bathing the little baby, feeding milk, telling stories, telling stories, dealing with love accidents, and tutoring homework until he Stubble on his face, unable to sleep. Unexpectedly, the workload of being a mother is bigger than being a Superman (huh!).

The story was told a thousand times, but the child still didn't sleep. Daddy everyday.

In the face of a phone inquiry from my wife who was saving the world, even though the baby in her hand had become a ball of fire, she still had to pretend that she had a good handle, "No problem, my dear, the children are great." This is simply one. The lively "Superman's Fall is Hard to Remember", pitiful and funny.

The villain is also a very family-minded person. The reason for her deterioration is precisely because she thinks her parents have misunderstood the world. So she wants to educate mankind with her concept, that is, she can't trust others too much, and her own destiny is in her own hands. So she invented a system that can use television signals to make people lose their minds. This metaphor is very similar to the pervasive media advertisements in the last season of "South Park." Social consciousness continues to invade personal consciousness through various media, until all people become part of the commercial society.

So what can finally untie the blindfold that blinds people's eyes, ah, here is going to be sublimated, it is family affection. It's a child's hand. Because not only mom and dad are supermen, but children are also supermen. They know and feel the world through their own eyes, and give their parents and many true feedbacks to the world.

Are these hands? Just watch the movie.

Although Superman parents constantly want to protect their children from fighting and the unpleasantness of this world, they finally understand that children's power is also part of their super power. To defeat evil, we must not only fight alone, but also work together. Believe, support, and let everyone try and do what they do best.

Everyone is so special, maybe you look like a tortoise, but you can twist the metal, maybe you get nervous and talk a lot of nonsense, but you can let objects travel through space. It is everyone's colorful knowledge and rich cognition of the world that constitutes the super power to break the rule of thought. Family affection allows us to return to the basics, and respect for individuals makes the world more perfect and stronger. Yes, Pixar is so fond of combining a lot of great theories into a very attractive and attractive story, which I have to admire.

The animated short film "Baby Bao" screened on the PS title is the work of Chinese American director Shi Zhiyu. It shares the warm tone of "The Incredibles" and is also a very moving family story. I was surprised to see the works of Chinese directors, especially female directors, on the big screen. This short film has both a Chinese cultural background (the background scene and the old CCTV tower) and an American expression. It is well handled in narrative and art and is worth watching.

    Whatever vulgar as I see it is very joyful.

    Some thoughts flashed through the process of reading: Is there any part of dystopia and anti-heroism in it, but after reading it, I don't think it is. As good as the previous one
