Compared with other famous animation films that are also from the Big Three in the American animation industry, the popularity of this film in China is slightly niche, but this does not affect the gifts this film brings to people. Like one of its competitors, Pixar, DreamWorks has always been very good at anthropomorphizing animals to the maximum in its own animated films, and has done a good job. In each film, we will give the screenwriters unique creativity. Amazed. Different from domestic cartoons, a good script is incorporated into full creativity, making the whole movie itself a good book. The concept of entertaining and entertaining is perfectly intertwined in the whole plot. This is the achievement of American animation. The key to filming quality for all ages. From preschoolers to seniors in sixties, they can all sit on the sofa and enjoy a cartoon together. After watching it, both adults and children can get different harvests from the movie. This is also the best American animation. Place of success.
The first half of the film will let us first feel that the idea that the film wants to convey is a very typical American basic concept of quality education for children, that is, a self-identified outlook on life, which encourages people to break conventions, whether in thought or action. Above, you must know that you are unique in this world. No one can kidnap your life with any form of dogmatism, even your biological parents. Berry, the protagonist in the film, is an ordinary bee. Like millions of other bees, they "have been doing the same thing for 27 million years", which seems to them all. Inherent destiny is a life that ancestors must follow the rules for generations. Even Berry’s friend Adam feels fortunate that he “only needs to make one choice in his life”. The huge hive confines the living space of the bees, and more importantly, confines their thoughts and horizons. Only very few bees can fly out of the hive to collect nectar, but most of this huge society dare not break the shackles. Stepping out of the hive, he doesn't care what the outside world is like. For them, everyone knows the truth is that since the day they were born, the road of their lives has been well planned by this society, because "we are bees, we have the most complete social system and the most efficient working ability." .
But Berry’s genes have different thoughts. He who is unwilling to the status quo and does not believe in fate is precisely the sense of self-identity that this free country hopes the flowers of his country have. This is very different from the "golden mean" advocated in the traditional educational philosophy of China for thousands of years, and it is also an important part of Western culture that is largely different from that of the East. This is a way of encouraging people to question authority and regard the daring to take risks as a noble quality value. In the recorded history of mankind, every breakthrough discovery and leap is driven by those who have "rebellious". "Thinkers, from the first time they learned to use flames to the invention of the steam engine, from the center of the earth to the theory of relativity, from the first flight of the Wright brothers to the Apollo mission to the moon, without exception, are the pioneering efforts of human beings to successfully get rid of the constraints of thinking. . Reflected in the way of individual education, mainstream education in the West has always advocated that parents guide their children to do what they like, emphasizing their uniqueness and irreplaceability, rather than the Chinese-style hope that their children will be obedient and succumb to certain parents and society's designated Concept of education concept. Everyone's life should be determined by oneself, and at the same time, do not do to others what you don't want.
After talking about self-identification, the film began to put in the second thought content, which I understood as the concept of "existence is reasonable". The film has ingeniously created a legal action in which bees accuse humans of robbing their own honey. It also presents a formal trial in the cartoon that only adults are interested in. Federal district courts, judges, and juries. , The prosecution and defense, the news media. Judging from the accusation that the fruits of bees’ labor were forcibly occupied by humans, it was very deceptive at the beginning. Children's audiences hope that these hardworking and cute bees can win the lawsuit and protect their "private property sacred and inviolable." However, what the film wants to tell people is the opposite. Use the bees' final victory to deduce a world where no bees work, so that such a somewhat abstract concept for children can be reflected in a concrete story. The audience can In laughter, understand that the existence of everything in the world must have its conditions to maintain balance. But this thought can only refer specifically to the specific categories of bees collecting nectar. If the understanding is slightly deviated, it will evolve into a distorted thinking that "it is reasonable and reasonable for humans to destroy nature." This is for children. It is extremely terrible misleading thinking. Therefore, of the two themes conveyed in the film, the first represents practical humanistic ideological education, and the second is more enlightening science education. Although the value of the two to people can not be said to affect life, they are also quite meaningful.
On the other hand, domestically, due to various reasons such as cultural industry policies, market consumption concepts, and Chinese people’s traditional thinking towards animated films, the majority of domestic animated films tend to be younger, and the market positioning is intentionally or unintentionally limited to the elementary school age. Of children. Domestic screenwriters naturally understand this situation, so they try their best to add some educational content that is valuable to the core audience in the animation. This is true in itself. Domestic filmmakers are not inferior to foreign practitioners in terms of plot creativity. We have seen this point in recent years, but once a beautiful idea is tied to the domestic cultural policy, the animated film produced is often difficult to break through the bottleneck of young age, even if the film is no longer educational, the temperament exudes between the lines. It is still an immature "children's book" in the eyes of adults. Most of the so-called educational content is just pretending to take out this paragraph of preaching separately, teaching a bunch of boring, preaching clichés in the tone of a teacher educating students, and it is difficult to have creative innovation. The advanced concepts and sophisticated production of American animated films are indeed an excellent model worthy of our humility to learn.
