"Frozen 2" uses this metaphor of contrast and conflict to warn viewers of the fact that only by dissecting, recognizing and tame different aspects of their own personality can they be qualified to be the best self.
"Frozen 2" once again plunged Disney into the spell of "animation sequel". Although
has many supporters, trying to prove it from the music, special effects and the costumes of the two heroines, cute pets and even the MV. The production of this sequel is upgraded, the pictures are more beautiful, and the story is more intriguing. But the declining ratings, especially the widening gap with the first movie, are proving that more viewers are not buying it.
However, this kind of non-payment cannot be used as evidence of "the masses are very discerning." On the contrary, this can only prove that in popular culture, the masses love the new and dislike the old and how terrible they are to be picky. For "Frozen" in 2013, well-crafted production is naturally the most basic factor for it to sweep the world. For example, the highly vocal "Let it go" is the indispensable hero behind this grand success, let alone its success. The story and spiritual level, the "betrayal" of Disney, and the fit of the world's cultural trends.
In 2013's "Frozen", the two princesses Aisha and Anna not only subverted Disney's 90-year stereotype of "Prince Charming can save the princess", but also conformed to the trend of feminism, allowing the sisters to complete the "same-sex self-help" At the same time, it is embedded in the consciousness and process of female growth. So when Aisha sang "Letitgo" and built an ice and snow palace for herself, the audience, especially female audiences, would feel the unprecedented soundness. This is probably because it can sing the streets and alleys, and Princess Aisha became the most popular among girls. The reason for the Disney princess. The unprecedented height of
, both commercial and artistic, not only attracts Disney’s creative ideas for a sequel, but also raises the threshold of a sequel—not to mention that for 90 years, Disney animation has had a sequel of death curse (we are familiar with Disney animation Some sequels have been published, such as "Snow White", "Bambi", "The Lion King", "Mermaid" and so on, but few viewers know and remember them, and even Disney itself does not want to mention them on official occasions). But the biggest problem of "Frozen 2" is actually the problem of succession between the two stories:
has overcome the fear of growth when she transforms herself, what challenges does she need to meet?
has no villain, which is the difference between "Frozen" and most movies, and it is also the most difficult problem to face in the sequel: In movies with villains, the protagonist will encounter all kinds of things in each movie. Opponents; In movies with no villains, the protagonist’s biggest opponent is always himself, or his own heart-this means that Aisha, who has overcome her fear of growth in the first film, must follow the most basic of this IP Routine, challenge yourself again.
According to the news released by Disney, in order to find a new challenge for Aisha, the creators spent 3 years and wrote 12 complete storytelling stories. This is what we see now "Frozen 2:" Aisha didn't hear the call from afar, and was determined to find the answer, and finally uncover the mystery of her life experience. This means: If the theme of "Frozen 1" is "Who am I", then the theme of "Frozen 2" is "Why am I me".
It is easy to accept oneself, but it is difficult to find oneself.
After all, you can't ensure that you are your ideal self. The fear of
made Princess Aisha, who had experienced family repression and fled to the wasteland, always resisted. This was also the reason why she gradually became restless after hearing the call from afar. It wasn't until she realized that her refusal had caused the kingdom of Arundel to be in danger of extinction, she resolutely embarked on the journey-this interesting setting, using the "heroes" routine in the genre movie, opened up us Realistic dilemmas that we all face when we find ourselves: Unless we are pushed forward by a bigger dilemma, we would rather stay on the sidelines than torturing ourselves.
Anna wants to make a choice between Aisha’s family affection and Christopher’s love, Xuebao has to work hard to complete the thinking of eternity and adulthood in the playful treasure, and the reindeer Swain has to take on the role of a warm man at the critical moment. Christopher is always planning a failed wedding and falls into unrequited love. Because these characters have their own clear and complete stories and tasks, Aisha’s main line has been severely cut.weak. This problem is most prominent in the first half of the story: each character is locked in by its own task, and the movie is locked in by the overall length of time. The movie has to take the second place and replace it with excessively intensive music. A story that resonates with the audience-this is also the reason why the movie was criticized "should not be included in the movie in the MV." The most typical part is Christopher's MV in the 1990s in the foggy forest.
In "Frozen", music is an element more important than the plot: they replace the redundant plot, and condensedly point out the theme of the story. For example, "Let it go" emphasizes that Aisha no longer suppresses herself, but instead follows her inner voice; and this time "Into the Unknown" and "AllIsFound", the message is that "the unknown truth will eventually be turn up". This "unknown truth" not only refers to the hidden murderous intentions of the grandfathers, but also emphasizes the true source of Aisha's magic power: her mother is a northerner, and her combination with her southern father makes her the natural choice for the spirit of nature. Female (that is, the spirit of nature itself), the purpose is to bridge the historical shortcomings.
On the way to pursue the spirit of nature, Aisha and his party have encountered wind, fire, earth and water spirits. These four demons can be connected together only through the spirit of nature. This is actually the biggest metaphor of "Frozen 2": the spirit of nature is Aisha, while wind, fire, earth, and water correspond to different aspects of Aisha's character: wind signifies freedom, and fire points towards It is enthusiasm, soil symbolizes tenacity, and water is aimed at fickleness. In this process, Aisha did not defeat any kind of demons, but got along with them in peace. For example, the cute fire lizard and the water spirit horse rushing in the dark sea. These two scenes, when Aisha confronted the strongest, were also the most terrifying dark moments of the movie. Once Aisha grasps their qualities, the conflict will end immediately, and even the picture will become warm and moving.
"Frozen 2" uses this metaphor of contrast and conflict to warn the audience the fact that only by profiling, recognizing and tame the different aspects of their own personality, they are qualified to be the best self. To put it more bluntly,
's biggest problem in life is not to defeat yourself, but to learn to reconcile with yourself.
This is the core theme of Frozen 2.
