The setting of the protagonist with super power has long been a character background that has been used badly in both movies and animations, which inevitably makes people a little tired of aesthetics. The highlight of this film is that it humanizes the role of superheroes in a way that we have almost never seen before, and creates a brand-new, very friendly way of creating superhuman characters.
As an animated film, this film goes straight to the point from the very beginning. This is what audiences of this type of film are very happy to see when they spend money to walk into the theater. Unsurprisingly, the film starts with a few minutes of excitement. Snippets to show off the protagonist's superpowers, and then a very American-style legal assumption is used to elicit the background of the story. Audiences who know a little about the principles of the US Constitution know that the judicial cases in the film are entirely possible in this country with a high degree of rule of law, and due to the system of case law, it may become a national judicial norm. In this way, the superheroes represented by the protagonist Bob were forcibly deprived of the right to use their superpowers by the government and lived in society in the way of ordinary people. This is quite similar to the book "Why the World Doesn't Need Superman" published by Clark Kent's girlfriend in "Superman" years after Superman left the earth. Regarding this, in the second part, the film uses the villain's mouth to do it. A more in-depth explanation. Of course, thinking about this question is the business of a bunch of modern business philosophers.
Heroes who have been deprived of their superpowers are like eagles whose wings are tied by chains. The supermen who used to face the criminals who burn, kill and loot are always happy, but now they can only face the frustrations of the workplace and the trivialities of life. , midlife crisis, and helpless crime. On the congested road after get off work every day, Bob squeezed in the middle-class blue broken car is the most real embodiment of all this helplessness. Seeing this, the image of superheroes has already disappeared in the hearts of the audience, but this is precisely a very individual plot arrangement of the film, and it is also the antecedent of the next story.
It is with this setting that the film makes itself jump out of the stereotyped Superman theme, and has a cynical style similar to "National Superman Hancock", which makes people shine. As for the subsequent plot, it is basically quite satisfactory, and some of the episodes are quite innovative, but in general this film is still a non-adult-oriented animated film.
In 2018, 14 years after the release of the first film, Disney Pictures once again teamed up with Pixar to launch a sequel to the film. The first impression it gives is that the second part has a very obvious leap in sound and light performance and picture rendering compared to the first part. It has more splendid image colors, more delicate character animation, and With richer picture details, the progress of Pixar animation production technology in the past 14 years is unobstructed. As for the plot, the second part follows the foreshadowing buried at the end of the previous film, which is also straight to the point. In this work, the male protagonist Bob faces the exact same problems as in the previous work. It is also the endless trivialities of life. Regarding the limitations of superheroes' superpowers, the one who suffers the most is always poor Bob, but after a long time After the suffocation, there must be an unexpected release. If the first film was about using the law to limit superheroes' powers, the sequel is about overturning that wrong decision. This not only made the people in the play applaud, but also made the audience of the movie hooked 14 years later.
The gap brought about by this almost face-slapping plot reversal is also very enjoyable for the audience. After all, watching the fun is not a big deal, and the film also deliberately carried out a lot of legal issues in the previous work in the plot. Discussion, although this is only an understatement for the entire film, the implications are still worth reflecting on.
Finally, a digression, 14 years of time in the two films is only a few seconds difference, but in the real world, countless people's lives have undergone earth-shaking changes during this period. sigh. When I look back on the first part, I was still in elementary school, and now I have been working for many years. How many people have met, how many things have happened in 2014, how many people have been missed, how many things have been forgotten, but in the film, it is only the time when the protagonists have two sentences on the same street, which is really amazing . The span of the two works carries too many of our memories, so I always cherish the actual experience of watching movies every time, and try to write them down. Maybe one of the movies will have a sequel after many years, and I will re-read it at that time. There will be thousands of thoughts flooding into my heart about the viewing experience of the previous work.
