Let children peep a corner of the adult world

1. Only then did I know that this type of animation I like is stop-motion animation. Only then did I realize that its production was so time-consuming and laborious, and I realized how rare their feelings are. If you focus on this, the one star deducted from the content will come back.
2. I personally think that this animation is not suitable for children to watch, and the things it tells are too dark. ①A man who dreams of becoming a lord is crazy to implement his own schemes. He is allergic to cheese, but he pursues cheese paranoid, and finally gets it and dies. The ending is not only to tell us the end of insatiable greed (from our point of view), but also the inevitable fate . From childhood to adulthood, we are all taught to pursue our dreams and persevere, but you don’t know whether the dream you are pursuing is right or wrong. The direction of the beginning is wrong, and finally we realize that we have reached the edge of the cliff. However, whether it is Right or wrong dreams, when they are realized, they all feel the same, but the latter's life is sad. Many times our persistence is unknown, but what makes some people choose the wrong direction in the first place? I'll leave the cauldron to fate. ② Box monsters are kind, enthusiastic and friendly, and they also contribute silently to the society, but they are cowardly and ignorant. When they encounter danger, they only know to hide in the box and stay motionless, and they can’t even escape. . In addition, fear is a common means of dominating the public, just like the people in the film, deceived by fabricated news of the box monster eating people, obeying the curfew in fear, and later being instigated to become followers of the bad guys. Therefore, whether it is a known or unknown field, the spirit of questioning is very important, and the power of knowledge is very important. ③ In addition, although the little boy Eggers grew up in the environment of the box monster, his human nature is still there. This is the eternal topic of many literary works, film and television works: environment and nature (or original sin). This reminds me of the "Operation Mekong" I watched recently. The manipulated children in the Golden Triangle of Drugs, each with a cold face, become a terrible killing machine, living and growing in such a vicious environment, leaving only in their nature Survival and surrender.
3. I don't know about film technology, but I really like the texture of the scenes. The soundtrack is also nice and appropriate. The humorous part in my impression is a series of jokes by Eggers at the dance. Since it is aimed at children, it can be a little more funny. In addition, the scene where Eggers went to the Red Hat to rescue the box monster could have been edited more compactly, and the tension in that scene was a little lacking.

    The style is grotesque and experimental, and a traditional new animation form is established in self-deprecating

    It's really good, there is finally an interesting animated film this year, which is quite ironic.

    Winnie: [nods head] Ummhmm.

    Eggs: I'm long boned.

  • Herbert Trubshaw: [chained up, hanging upside-down, and swinging back and forth] Jelly. Jelly. When I'm good, I get jelly. I like jelly. JELLY!
