" Dream Travels " is the 19th animated feature film of Pixar Animation Studios. It won the 90th Oscar Award for Best Animated Feature Film and was released in the United States on November 22, 2017. It was released in mainland China on November 24. After 3 years, the Douban score remained at a high score of 9.1! The protagonist of the movie
is a 12-year-old Mexican boy named MiG. Although he comes from a shoemaker's family, he has a dream of music. However, his family has for some reason forbidden people from the music for generations, and is extremely eager to prove his music. The talented Xiaomi MiG was pursuing his musical dream in secret, and accidentally traversed a colorful "world of undead" because of touching a guitar.
In this undead country, Xiaomi Mige met a family of his departed family members, and finally he decided to find the late song god Dracus, because before the sun rises, he must be blessed by a loved one, otherwise He will stay in this world forever, and Dracus, the god of song, is likely to be his grandfather. On the way, Miguel met the down-and-out musician Hector, and gradually discovered Dracus. Long hidden secrets. The support of the
family can make "I" better chase dreams.
all say that movies are dream-making machines, but no matter how big their brains are, stories need to rely on realistic materials. The MiG’s pursuit of music dreams has been "obstructed" by his family. In fact, for everyone who has left home to pursue dreams in a foreign land, family and dreams are like fish and bear paws.
However, at the end of the movie, the estrangement of the MiG family disappeared. With the blessing of his family, he can also pursue his musical dreams. This family that has never had any sound of music also began to sing and dance on the Day of the Dead. , Have fun.
In fact, the dream chaser and his family are a subtle relationship between "kites" and "kites-flyers". Dream chasers will want to pursue their own piece of sky to realize their value in life, but as long as the kite string is still there, the flying kite will still return to the kite-flyer, because this string It is "love". It seems that dreams and family cannot have both, but as long as the family has love in their hearts and with the support of their family, dream chasers can better pursue their dreams!
actually returns to Disney's classic topic: family and love. The power of love that family members can give can surpass everything! The support and love of family members can not only travel through time and space, but also cross the boundaries of death and reach anywhere, because love between family members is the true nature of life, and it is something that cannot be lost in a lifetime. The collision of "Chinese and Western cultures" behind the film
movies have always been a tool used to highlight and explore the development direction of the public’s value. From another perspective, " Dreams and Travels" is actually another piece dressed in dreams , In fact, it is a movie of family chicken soup. Maybe this routine sounds like a cliché, but I have to say that this pot of chicken soup is really applauded, because it is genuine and full of sincerity, especially for the fire of tears, the person in charge is really The mastery is extremely precise.
believes that when the young hero MiG played the guitar and sang "Remember Me", he must have harvested many people's tears. MiG evoked the memory of her father from her grandmother. Although she was old enough to be delirious, The melody of the song her father sang to her when she was a child sounded. She remembered everything. When she mentioned her father, she was like a soothed child, good-natured and innocent. This also unlocked my opinion of this movie. I wonder why the movie's other name is "Coco". Although Coco is full of wrinkles, I just think she is cute! The large number of Mexican elements in
not only create a rich sense of picture, but also convey to the audience a very exotic Mexican culture. Western culture can not only face "death" directly, but also can deeply explore the meaning of "death" .
The West has the "Day of the Dead" and China has the "Ching Ming Festival", but it is the opposite of the Qingming Festival, which is based on sadness in China. The relatives of who died in Mexico can meet each other again on "Day of the Dead" and form a complete family. They have grand carnival parties.Even the future and dispelled misunderstandings in the human world still have a chance to clear up the past in the undead world after death.
Bai Yansong once said: "When Chinese people discuss death, they are simply elementary school students, because China has never had a real death education." But in the West, death education is not only in their books, but also in school education. One of the subjects from the kindergarten has been influencing them subtly.
Just like the creative background of this movie, the Day of the Dead in Mexico is a celebration of carnival colors. In their eyes, death is only the beginning of the next journey, not forever. If someone remembers him, he will Continue to exist in the world of undead. Although this is a warm utopia created by the movie, it is precisely because of this utopia that it has given comfort to many people!
Love never stops, unless it has been forgotten.
always thinks that the opposite of love is hate or not love. I didn't understand until I read "Dream Quest" that the opposite of love is "forget".
In "Dream Quest", I got the best "interpretation" about death. It tells me that everything we are experiencing is not useless. Missing, tears, or scars are all part of memory. In the "land of the dead", memory is life. Memory allows the undead to continue to exist in another world. It gives us a kind of emotional echo: although I will never see you again, the love relationship between us is unbroken.
On January 22, 2018, my father would say goodbye to me. It happened so suddenly that I couldn’t accept it for a while. I didn’t go to work and I didn’t go out. I was afraid of receiving calls from friends, and also afraid of friends’ calls on WeChat. Greetings, because I don't want to talk to people in my heart. I can't tell why, I just don't want to.
I locked myself in the house and spent a whole day looking at my father’s photos in a daze, and occasionally picked up my mobile phone and searched the Internet: "Where will people go after they die?", "People will really go home after they die Take a look?" Questions like this. When I searched for the question "Is death the end of life, or is it the beginning of the next journey of life?", the following reminded me of the movie "Dream Traveling". I opened it subconsciously, watching and crying. I didn't expect this animated movie to give me the warmest comfort about death, which is "remember".
I was afraid that I would forget. I was afraid that my father would not see my current life, so I started to pick up the habit of writing a diary. I recorded my daily life like a pupil, down to what I ate for three meals a day. What people have been seen and what has happened. It seems that my father can receive these "current account" letters from me. Because I believe that death is not the end of life, and time will not dilute my "memory" of my father. He is involved in my current life!
Conclusion
death is desperate, it cuts off all information and channels. From then on, you cannot deposit, only withdraw. But between existence and nothingness, I have a secret idea. Although I have never declared it in my mouth, I always feel that in the wind of the world, the shadow of my father is hidden. In all good things, there is his blessing and bad things. There are also his urges. Thank you Pixar for telling me that I am not alone in the world thinking this way.
I am Dan, and I hope to record the fireworks that I feel in the world in words with temperature.
