"The Flying House" is the tenth animated film and the first 3D film produced by Pixar Animation Studios directed by Peter Dougert. The film tells the story of a little boy Carl (Carl Fredricksen) with a love of adventure and encounters the tomboy Ellie (Ellie), and Ellie treats the whole house as a big ship. The game actually makes him a little fascinated by this girl. The same hobby eventually Make two people become lovers for a lifetime.
They had a dream, that one day they would go to the "Wonderland Waterfall" in South America to explore, but until the death of Ai Li, this dream failed to come true. Finally one day, the old man Karl who used to sell balloons actually dragged his house into the sky with colorful balloons. He decided to realize their unfulfilled dream. What Carl did not expect was that Russell, a little boy who claimed to be a "wilder pioneer", appeared on the porch. Ronaldinho's chatter made Carl particularly annoyed by this little chubby...
Pixar's animation feature Most of them are G-rated. According to the American film classification system, films of this level are suitable for viewing at any age. So Pixar always wants to take care of as many audiences as possible, so storytelling is often parallel in two levels: one shallow and one deep. The shallow layer is clear at a glance, and is for children who have not been in the world. And the deep layer is often a mixture of helplessness, sadness, and emotion, which is for adults who already understand more or less what is love and death. The story of the boy Ronaldinho is told to most children. The childhood life is carefree. You can do whatever you want. You don’t have to worry about too many external factors. So Ronaldinho is a boy in the eyes of adults. The troublemaker who provokes right and wrong. But for children, that is a happy thing! The story of the old grandfather Carl is that with adults, we have our own direction, sometimes blindly to achieve a goal, forget the road we have walked, and even fail to notice the beauty along the way.
Of course, to me, the movie is very attractive, but what strikes me most is the fragmentary fragments of the life of Karl and Avery in the title. Love is born from a young age, saving money to realize a common dream, but after all, it can't wear the bumps of life. Until Avery's death, he didn't save enough money to realize his dream, but the joy of life accompanied by it seemed far greater than the beauty of his dream. At this stage of the movie, people understand that there will always be dreams, but the pace of realizing the dreams is languishing.
After Avery’s death, the house became Carl’s favorite in life. The house represents the memories of Carl and Avery’s childhood, middle age, and old age. Even everything and everything can make Carl feel the existence of Avery. , But I think that although watching the house has become his biggest wish, Carl is full of guilt, just because the two have always dreamed. When the house carrying the memories was about to be taken away, Carl chose to flee with the house. When the colorful balloons floated in the air, Carl was happy in his heart. He finally took the first step for his lover and his dream. , And the house is the incarnation of Avery in Karl's eyes. Taking the house to take off seems to be realizing the dream together. Carl locked himself in the memory of his beloved, unwilling to face reality, unwilling to face his life, and bet the rest of his life in the most romantic and crazy way. This is love and persistence, but also despair and paranoia. At this time, the house is more like a burden on the elderly, the weight of dreams and the helplessness of confining love with love.
Carl's memories of his lover are the most precious, but when the memory confines the soul and makes people unwilling to care for others, it becomes a chronic illness. Pixar movies will not end with this, after all, it will start a spiritual journey. So the whole movie is not about the story of a romantic messed up old man flying across the ocean in a hot air balloon made of a house to realize his wife’s wish, but how a sad old man regained his life and love. Object. Finally, as the house fell into the waterfall and Karl's loneliness and self-blame, he would never forget Avery, but he would never numb himself with memories.
Finally, the house landed safely on the mountain of dreams. Isn't it a dreamlike perfect ending? I think this is really the case, even if it is not, she no longer confines an old man whose heart is released. The distant dream has been realized in the old man's heart, and the perfect life now can awaken the old man's motivation to be strong and happy again.
