Instead, they are eager to join the upper-class red hat BOSS, distorting the facts, and portraying the box monsters as “bad characters” who catch children and cannibals, making their action to catch the box monsters look just and great. Their motivation for catching the box monsters was only because of an agreement. After catching all the box monsters, the red hat BOSS can get a white hat and enter the upper class to taste cheese.
Every character in the film is not perfect. The young hero Eggers did not defeat the villain, the red hat BOSS was killed by his own greed. The villain who is allergic to cheese pursues things that are not suitable for him. "I made myself, and this is my destiny." The paranoid man was immersed in a crazy obsession with cheese and white hats, and eventually died of an allergy to cheese. The earl of the town in the white hat is really not a competent father. He cares about his daughter as much as he cares about the white hat on his head. The reason why he actively supports the red hat villain’s arrest of the box monster, Just because he was afraid that the box monster would steal his favorite cheese.
The film is also full of metaphors. The white hat that represents power, the cheese that represents the desire and wealth of the upper class. Those in power have enough money to build a children's hospital to buy expensive cheese to satisfy personal desires. At the moment of danger, Eggers shouted to the box monsters who accompanied him to grow up, "Don't hide, stand up and run quickly, we can fight back, we can do it, stand up and take a step forward." Think about it, in fact, we are just like box monsters. When encountering difficulties and obstacles, we would rather be an ostrich with a shrunken head, hiding in our own box to escape, as invisible. Speaking of bravely stepping out, but how difficult it is to take that step. We have broken through ourselves and achieved self-transformation when we really took that step.
There is much truth in what the little hero Eggs said, "Cheese, hats, boxes, these do not represent you, you are you." Everyone is the true self, not behind the position, power, fame, or wealth accumulation. Of you. But as we step into society, our desire for wealth and fame has also expanded. Who remembers, I am me?
The easter eggs at the end make the movie more colorful. For the easter eggs, it is worth giving the movie five stars. The easter egg pays tribute to the people who participated in the film with the help of the characters in the play. "Have you thought about the universe? Mr. Trout. What if our world is like a small particle? A tiny particle with giants watching us? Our every move is actually controlled by them. I blinked, It will take them a day. I move my arms and I need 500 people. I mean, such a small action requires a lot of work. Then they have to shoot the scene, discuss and blink, it’s endless. , to be honest, I think they put a lot of, I do not know how they have time, they certainly have other work, this is more a hobby, like stamp collecting, spare time to do things. "
in 3D prevalent today, You can also devote two years to produce this excellent 97-minute stop-motion animation. It cannot be said that such a company is a company of conscience. I think, as the easter egg said at the end, this is more of a hobby. Because of love, they can make such a good animation. Can only say, salute.
