Picture: The movie "The Travels of a Dream"
01
There is a rumor that the movie "The Travels of a Dream" was released in China.
is said to have been unable to be tried because the film involved a large number of undead and skeletons.
However, during the screening, I directly watched and cried all the inspectors of the State Administration of Taxation, so I made an exception.
Because of this rumor, I went into the cinema.
Then, not surprisingly, cried and witnessed the spectacular scene of tears running across the crowd.
Sitting next to me is a young father. While comforting his sobbing wife, he turned his head to my side and quietly wiped the corner of his eye. After
was over, the lights came on, and the adults were blushing and silent, only the children were still laughing, discussing the silly dog with tongue out in the movie.
is really envious, their life has just begun, and they still don't understand what dreaming is. Although we can comprehend the theme of the film, it is an experience that we have learned from the pain of our skin.
There are many emotions in the world, and the most painful is life and death.
This is also the deep theme hidden under the title of "Dream Quest". Before the release of
, some people were not optimistic, thinking that Pixar's dream-making ability has been weak, and it is difficult to reach the phenomenon-level animation film like "Robot Story".
However, it still became a black horse in the box office.

This means that it has successfully replaced "Finding Nemo 2: Where is Dolly" and has become the most popular Pixar movie in China.
It is dressed in a dreamy shirt, telling life and death. We know
, so we shed tears.
In two hours, we entered a bizarre world of undead. The people in
remained at the age of their deaths, passing the market calmly on top of the auxiliary bones, smearing powder, drinking and having fun-the same as when they were alive.
Everything seems to be real, and everything is so illusory. People in the undead world cannot be called alive, they are dependent on the thoughts of their loved ones to exist. To put it simply,
is a world of undead created by living people using memories and thoughts.
There are our beloved old people, where we will eventually arrive. How powerful is

?
It can make Mig, a young boy who loves music, on the night of the Day of the Dead, boldly go to the late song god Dracuse to "borrow" the guitar-stepping on his coffin board.
It can let the young talent Hector understand the importance of family affection and suddenly wake up in the promising Vanity Fair.
It can also allow the singer to murder his best friends and steal works in order to become a singer, just to reach the pinnacle of glory.
It is the bright moon on the top of the mountain, and it is also the deep valley snake.
It connects to heaven and even hell.
, these are all slowly unfolding with the presentation of the film.
We wanted to support the little boy MiG to pursue his dream boldly, but we suddenly faced the evil of human nature.
How terrible is that evil?
It incarnates a weapon for self-defense of the wicked, fabricates facts, provokes people's hearts, makes the wife misunderstand the kind husband, and since then established strict house rules that never allow the family to touch the music;
It makes Hector a sinner abandoning his wife, and the ancestral hall of the family. , Because no one enshrines his photo, it is impossible to step on the marigold bridge leading to the world. will always be trapped in the undead realm;
, which makes Xiaomi’s misguided entry into the undead realm mistaken his enemy as the ancestor, naively expecting to be able to take it with him His blessings return to the world;
it drives people to be greedy, vanity and vicious, even if they are already in the realm of the dead, they still want to cover up their crimes and put people to death. The root of
is a dream.
Dreams are inseparable from family.
It not only refers to blood kinship, but also represents all the emotions that a person has.
Without emotion, people willAllow yourself to degenerate step by step until you obliterate humanity and become a slave to desire.
This is the first theme of the film.
03
naturally, the second theme of the film is family affection.
If there is any emotion in the world that is eternal, then it must be family affection.
is connected by blood, so there is no stubborn heart, no words, and conflicts.
Mother's nagging, father's stubbornness, grandmother's overbearing, relatives' coping...There are so many things that challenge the limits of our patience.
But when we get lost or make mistakes, when the flowers wither and the applause is no longer, we turn around lonely, and deep in our tears, it is the embrace of our loved ones.
Because we are connected by blood, we cannot, cannot bear, and do not want to be separated from each other.
But ah, life is short and there is always an end.
Death is a heavy topic at any time.
When relatives fall into eternal sleep, where does their soul drift? Does their memory disappear?
They... are they doing well?
Thanks to Pixar for creating a reassuring world of undead with powerful dream-making ability.
There are colorful, tall buildings, a family or a family, no matter how many years are between Yin and Yang, they will always be reunited there.
The only connection between them is memory.
If the pictures of the deceased are not enshrined by their families, they will not be able to find their way home on the Day of the Dead.
Over time, the dead will be forgotten.
When the last living loses the memory of them, they lose the meaning of existence.
The forgotten dead will be wiped out with the passing of memory and fall into ultimate death.
That's why there is the phrase on the poster:
Before the memory of love disappears, please remember me. The plot of the movie
04
earns the audience's tears the most. When the grandmother COCO was dying, her grandson was awakened by her grandson, and she quietly sang the song her father wrote to herself on the guitar.
Her face was innocent, her father's photo held tightly in her hand.
When she was a little girl, the photo of her father was regarded as a shame by the family, but she secretly saved a long life.
The memory of love can cross life and death.
Last night, I dreamed of grandma again.
In my dream, I was still a little girl, grandma with black hair and round face, holding my hand and walking, walking through brightly colored streets.
In the dream, there are blue sky, green willows, and a vigorous old lady with deep dimples, with loving eyes, staring down at the little me.
suddenly woke up from a dream, the smile at the corner of my mouth had not been confiscated, and I felt cold beside my pillow.
For a moment, how I hope the world in the film is real.
The dead still exist, and their families will always be reunited.
Spain has the Day of the Dead, Christians have Easter, and we have the Midyear Festival.
With so many festivals linking life and death, can the people who have passed away really find their way home, in a festival that belongs to them, take a look at the people who are concerned about them?
My beloved family, there are so many photos of you, enough to fill a room.
If you put them all up, will you come back?
