How many movies can you watch in a year? I don't know if you have thought about it. I calculated it for myself. On average, I watch 1 DVD at the movie theater once a month, which is 24 movies a year. If you watch 2 downloaded or 2 online copies a week, 2 times 52 equals 104 copies in a year. So the total for the whole year is about 130.
There are 130 units a year, which is not a small number. Towards the end of the year, how many can you think of? This is another problem. Of course, those who are short in time will be remembered first, and those who are far away are a bit more expensive, but no matter how you think about it, in my 2008, "Wall.E" will definitely be counted among them.
I have a buddy who is of that kind of rough and big leaves. One day we were sitting on the bed side by side, holding a wine bottle and a laptop while watching "Death Speed". We watched it online. When we saw the end, we suddenly got stuck. So while I paused the buffering, I put the "Wall.E" downloaded on the computer. The buddies fainted as soon as they saw a cartoon. "Animations are so boring," he yelled, "Are there any action movies that are exciting and a little bit of love?"
I wiped. Just put your stinky sock on your pillow to frustrate others, and you still need "a little bit of love"? I said, in this case, don’t shout, let’s just let it go for 10 minutes, and if you feel boring after 10 minutes, let’s change to another movie, OK? But Ya still didn't follow: "Is there a little love in this movie?"
Love...Love your mother's head... I really wanted to slap Ya's mouth directly. But I can bear it. I said, yes, there is love.
You probably already guessed the plot later. Later, we forgot the hapless "Death Speed" and watched "Wall.E" from start to finish. The buddy was basically a hemorrhoid sufferer in the first ten minutes. In the fifth minute, he questioned "Why don't you talk all the time", and in the eighth minute, "How can there be love in this movie", then gradually became quiet, and then yelled again. ——"Fuck me!" He said, "The cartoons made by foreigners are so beautiful! How the hell made this!"
Maybe there are some misunderstandings in my statement, my buddy is not a vulgar truck driver. In fact, he is a master, majoring in optoelectronics. Besides, he has a strong tendency to be literary and youthful, plays a good guitar and likes to read some books. But his understanding of movies and cartoons is as simple as...Uh, it was like a piece of white paper, it should be like a roll of toilet paper. Because of his prejudice, he always feels that movies and other things are tricky, not an art.
As for whether film is considered an art, this question alone is enough to write a series of books, so I will skip it first. In fact, I myself came from toilet paper rolls, and I have only rolled it all the way to this day, only to have the smell of high-quality printed aromatic napkins. Regarding animated movies, I was shocked by an "Aladdin" I watched in my freshman year, and then I learned "Beauty vs. The Beast" in the aftershocks, and advanced to "The Lion King", which gave me a little fuzzy concept. Then "Toy Story" came out. As we all know, this is Pixar's famous work.
Which song can I sing without a word until now: Oh I come from a land, from afaraway place, where the caravan camels roam... Believe it? Although I still don't know what this caravan means, I remember the opening song of "Aladdin" and every word (transliteration) of "Arabian Nights". At that time, I was so obsessed. After being shaken to the ground by the picture on TV, I got up and listened to the OST over and over again. That was also the first time I learned an English song, although when I sang this song to others, they would always say: This is also called a song?
There are many Pangu axes in my life. In the field of animated films, "Aladdin" is a hit. The original animation can be so delicate and exquisite, and the plot can be so complicated. My peasant baby is deeply fascinated. In the history of animation, "Toy Story" is another axe. It's all computer production. At that time, I didn't really know what the concept was. In fact, I don't like it very much. Despite the exciting plot and rich imagination, I always feel that the characters are chubby and weird. I still like the delicate brushwork that is close to life, and the bumpy face, so the toys didn't impress me deeply.
And then... to use an old phrase of mine... Many more years have passed. Pixar, already in full swing, has launched "Wall.E". I have no idea. What kind of animation will this be? There are so many people who praise it and those who disagree with it. "Use the robot's new bottle to fill the old wine of the old-fashioned love." They said. So I struggled. On a really boring night, I thought, let's take a look first, let's take a look, and then my evil black hand touched the mouse again and clicked on the evil thunder.
Then I was conquered. Well, I'm such a dishonest person. Such simple science fiction plots and such old-fashioned love conquered me. What that sentence says-"The devil is in the details". I want to say that, the devil wields an army of one hundred thousand to carry out a massacre in a sea of brain cells. And thousands of new cells were reborn in countless corpses. This process, to put it succinctly, is: subversion.
Countless details hide countless demons. The butcher knife wielded by a terrible devil is a terrible imagination. Two robots with almost no faces express rich hearts. This is imagination and imagination. Another film that must be mentioned in 2008 is "Assassin League". In terms of imagination, it has the same amazing display as "Wall.E". Car battles, arc guns, and suicide waltz, I have to say, that is the best and most innovative action movie I have seen in recent years, one that prevents you from fast-forwarding or pausing. movie. Because it is subverted.
Subversion is the slaughter of the devil. It makes some people ecstatic and others fear. Others will say: "What's the matter", "Too nonsense", "Really unreliable"... and some people will say: "It's awesome... It's awesome." And in such an education system, it's sad. In the kingdom, people who say nonsense account for a very sad minority. They may have extraordinary imagination on another level, such as yielding one hundred thousand catties per mu, such as three push-ups, but in terms of artistic creation and enjoyment, they will only continue their trivial way of thinking. "Is this possible?" "That's too exaggerated." Once people fall into this mode of thinking, a lot of fun is lost.
The good thing is that I have not fallen into this situation, and the good thing is that I am still curious about this world. When Wall.E cowered and rubbed Eva, when he held up an umbrella for her under heavy rain, when he forcibly raised her arm to hold her hand, when he lost the memory of her...I can still Laugh or sigh with emotion. Fortunately, I am not old yet.
So whether film is considered an art is actually a boring question. It doesn't matter whether the damn art is artistic or not. The important thing is that I can still be touched, and I can be as a teenager mentally. This is enough. enough.
