The fact is that I am very self-subjective and preconceived in my work. Tradition has defined me what beauty and ugliness are good and evil. In the shallow consciousness, it is very difficult to unconsciously think that things that are ugly on the outside can achieve great goodness. Naturally, there is no expectation at all. So I never thought about watching a movie about monsters. Everything about them is beyond my scope, unless the monsters appear as a foil for heroes. Even after seeing Ratatouille, I still haven't awakened me to look at some ugly things in the traditional sense objectively.
However, after watching this movie, I have to admire the Disney animation team again sincerely. Putting technology aside, their creativity and imagination have reached the realm that made me amazed. Another space is an alien race completely different from humans, but their lives are so similar to humans. They need electricity, they need to try an alternative restaurant that they don’t usually go to when celebrating a certain birthday, and they need idols to worship. Fitness is needed, and the company needs an annual meeting. The protagonist inside is a small white-collar worker who usually works hard. The leader is tough in appearance and struggles in his heart. The opponents in the company are also gearing up in secret. Apart from the appearance, these monsters are no different from human beings. . These drips, which are too common for humans, are placed on another group of creatures in another space. They seem so comical. At this point, the movie has formed a mirror, which is 24 times 365. Our life, the ups and downs of daily work and struggle will resonate with the progress of the film.
This film also focuses on warmth. Where is the warmth? Except for those great sorrows and joys who saved the dead and healed the wounded. In this society, can we still be moved by other things? The answer is yes. When your heart feels hard enough, it actually needs to be softened at that moment. This movie is the catalyst for that moment. When the long-haired monster struggled to find the missing child and persisted in the whiteness of the ice and snow, when he mistakenly thought that the child had become trash, that kind of self-blame, grief, and hard to believe a series of complex expressions and strong harmony The expressions in his eyes were fully expressed by a cartoon character. If the directors of the film have not experienced such emotions, have not been moved, how can they attach such real emotions to a cartoon character to truly express it. I think the creative team of this film is really working hard to make a film, not only want to make everyone funny and simple, they also make people find their own shadow in the film, the shadow of life and smile with their hearts. This laugh is a laugh that can only be understood after experience, not a facial expression made for the sake of expressing happiness, so the level of this laugh is many times higher than those that use simple body and language to make the audience laugh. And it will make people remember the characters in the animation from the bottom of their hearts.
It is often said why the film industry in the United States is so developed. After the movie is released, DVDs are released, then the original sound, then the protagonist cartoon characters, then the movie props, then the imitation show, the auction, and the sequel. . . . There is everything that can be developed. In China, most of the films are still racking their brains on how to make a gimmicky advertisement. Does anyone care about the late-stage products? Basically no. what is the reason. It’s the quality of the film. First of all, it’s difficult to make it easy for both adults and children to enjoy the plot. Then it’s the characterization. This is not about acting. It’s that the characters in the script are not rich enough to make people like it. Passionate, so that most of the film people after watching haha and happy, two days later they don’t know who played the protagonist. It is not impressive who would buy his small model as a commemoration! The last part is the overall strategy of the movie. At present, domestic movies are still in the stage of capital preservation and cannot budget for the later stage of the market. If there is a big investment movie, it will put all the bullets on the advertisement. In fact, the meaning of the movie is more than just On the side of the road, the large advertisement under the bus stop sign, or the brilliant flash of a star, its basic function should be to let people find resonance and self, and experience purity and perfection.
Monster Company has exceeded the basic line, so it can make me deeply worried about the new, and I can't forget the eyes of the long-haired strange. A movie that makes me feel wonderful will give people unexpected surprises at any time. When the film came to an end and my nostalgia was precipitating, the subtitles appeared, and a small picture appeared on the other side of the subtitles. This is actually another innovative feature design of the production team. It’s quite common for an ordinary movie to add extras at the end of the movie. The extras of a live-action movie are people’s laughter, wrong lines, unexpected scenes, and a series of invalid films, but how can a cartoon appear? Where's the tidbits? This is the special idea from the directors. They re-ranked the characters inside, and specially produced some events outside of the plot, allowing the audience to appreciate the characters in the play from a new perspective. It seems that the characters inside have escaped the limitations of animation. They are good actors, and there are also My own emotions, anger, sorrow, and joy, there are also times when you say the wrong lines, of course, there are also times when you are laughing, when you are playing pranks, when all the cartoon characters are spoofing together. . They are so cute that we will look at them, abandon the original aesthetic, and fall in love with the name monster.
