"Little Chicken Run" tells a story like this: the story of a chicken farm in Tweed, Yorkshire, England in 1950. All the chickens there face the same fate: desperately lay eggs, otherwise they will become food on the table. Thinking of this tragic ending, the chickens can only spend every day with unease.
Mrs. Cui Di’s chicken farm has such a chicken---Ginger, she always wants to take a group of chickens from the chicken farm to escape. There were a few times she had escaped alone, but because of her companions, she never escaped. Every time, she was caught by Mr. Cui Di and went to confinement. After returning from confinement, she would think of new ways to escape. She didn't just look at her eyes like other chickens, she looked farther than anyone else, and she dreamed of stepping on the green grass. Until one day, "flying" a handsome "Lone Ranger" rooster Rocky, he and the hen Ginger led the chickens in battle, and failed many times. Finally, an old rooster remembered his life as an air force. The old rooster said it in detail before they realized that it was a machine that could fly into the sky. The chickens finally made a plane and left the chicken farm. They got rid of the fate of being made into chicken pies, and got rid of the fate of being made into chicken pies, leaving only the dumbfounded chicken farmers. This story tells us that as long as we work hard and don't lose heart, things will always succeed.
"Little Chicken Run" is actually a movie that uses chickens instead of humans to have a dialogue between hope and fear. When we see these chickens on the screen, we believe that The charm of this film should not only lie in providing laughter during the viewing process. The chickens in the film are almost destined to spend their lives in this "prison". Their only reason for survival is that they can lay eggs. If they can't lay eggs, they will become dishes on the table. This may also be the life of some people, a life lacking a goal, to be born, live, and then die. But neither the chickens in the film nor us in reality will not and should not live blindly without goals. Establish goals , Pursue the goal, and finally reach the goal, which will go through many difficulties and dangers, there will be internal inertia and external threats, but the process of achieving the goal is wonderful, and the result will be beautiful. Just like the movie The chickens have had various escape experiences and have met many people who are willing to help themselves. We work together to be indomitable and fight hard in the face of adversity. Their love of adventure, active brainstorming, unity and struggle are also worth learning.
Of course, the most worthy of our respect is: the kindness of human nature---not giving up one's own companions. There are many chances for the hen Ginger to escape successfully, but she is unwilling to escape by herself. For example, under the moonlight one night, Jin Ge kept digging under the wire fence with a spoon in his hand. Soon, a pit was dug under the barbed wire, and she got out from below, but instead of running away alone, she asked her friends to come quickly, but the fat Bendy couldn't get through. In the end, she was caught and confined... She had many ways, but she didn't want to go by herself. She wanted to let her partner live a good life. Such kindness is not much now, and people are too selfish. So we should have a good experience from the film.
Although every chicken in this film looks the same, the big attraction of this film is that each character has a very strong personality. Just like the one who was a Royal Air Force veteran. The rooster, although its early existence does not greatly promote the plot, but it adds a lot of color and jokes to the whole play, and the most important point is even written in the later period. There is also a continuous fight. The "housewife" chicken wearing sweaters, the "intellectual" chicken wearing glasses and drawing drawings... From the plot point of view, the chicken's fat wings are destined to be unable to fly, and in the end they built a "plane factory" in the henhouse. To realize the dream of flying with airplanes, it seems to be repeating the "history of flying" of mankind; from the language point of view, the extremely individual lines "package" each of the extremely individual characters. Of course, the unique heroism element of "Hollywood" is also indispensable. A "handsome" rooster named Rocky came to the middle of the hen like a god-given baby, so there was a "love scene" in the film logically. No. and No. 1 are made at Chicken PieThe part of the adventure in the machine is a climax of life and death. Knowing that they will end up in catastrophe, they will be saved, but the audience may still be unable to help but squeeze a sweat for two "chickens" during the "watching" process. You can still share many common beautiful beliefs from the whole film, such as ideals, courage and trust. Although they are a group of chickens, they are not ordinary...
