A few days ago Sir disc this year's nine-point drama.
Finished, just about to release, look again... Panicking.
I went, how did I miss it?
It may be the sweetest dessert of 2020, the most cute and soft gadget.
It's!
Know, say "Pony I melted again";
Don't know... Say what you're doing this year.
The first feast for sci-fi fans this year, the second season of The Mandalorian.
To say that the story is good, the worldview is new, the sci-fi scene is enough to burn money... That's all right.
But it's all secondary.
Who doesn't understand that the reason for the real fire of this drama is to create one of it?
On Douban, a small number of people are still pretending to be serious about science fiction.
Most people have long since torn off the masks of adults.
"The scene of walking Yoda Baby is still tearful, the special effects are too good"
"Cry into a shower head"
More excessive.
It is someone who deliberately stirs up trouble in an attempt to use it to confuse the real world:
"Why is the PRESIDENT either Trump or Biden?"
Why can't it be Yoda Baby! ”
Okay, Sir got it.
The most fiery and of course highly contagious.
Once this science fiction species, the one we know is called "Master Yoda", the heroic idol of the post-80s childhood.
But it's 2021, hero, how to compare to cute things.
(This so-called Baby Yoda is actually a fellow of the master.) ）
Don't think it's cute, it's just trying to play silly and sweet.
Yoda's baby is cute, but it transcends language and cultural barriers.
When the Mandalorian spaceship, flew over the vast sea of stars.
Baby Yoda has also conquered countless planets by the way... There are no more than fifty-six nationalities.
How does it work?
Let me come along.
01
Where did the baby come from?
Coughing. The first figure.
First, let's explain the origin of this little thing.
The most interesting setting of "The Mandalorian" is actually a pair of contrasting cuteness.
The protagonist, Mandalorian Ding Jaren, is a designer designer of high-end armor all over his body.
Because as a cold Mandalorian, he often does not look at people with a straight eye.
Dress up all season, be a bounty hunter, and drive a spaceship all day long.
口头禅，this is the way。
△ He comes from a declining organization with a very high belief in combat, so the Mandalorian is not a "person", but a creed
But met Baby Yoda, the way?
way啥啊way。
The entire career development route has been distorted.
Of course, at first he didn't think so.
A little thing, huh, a little thing that requires me to pity to have a way to live.
For the sake of conscience and creed in his heart, Dinh Jalen took Baby Yoda with him and embarked on a long...
Give Baby Yoda a way to find a daddy.
This "daddy" is also a metaphor.
Students familiar with Star Wars know that Baby Yoda and the Jedi Knight are related.
The Mandalorians slowly discovered that the energy field that could control the objects in the air, the existence of the "Force" in the cosmic legend, also seemed to be closely related to the talents of this race.
The Mandalorians began thinking that Yoda's baby lacked a father.
But I didn't expect to look around and spare myself.
In short, this pair of contrasts belongs to -
Because of fate, bump into;
Because of conscience, by the way;
Because of tacit understanding, the heart is connected;
Because of love, each other acquiesced to the dry father and son...
And because of the separation?
Say later.
So it seems to be the right one, The Mandalorian.
Sir thinks it should have a cute nickname...
"The Father-Son Relationship of the Mandalorians".
Well, by the end of the year, no one wants to lose this sugar.
Sir still take you and savor its sweetness - the main story line of the two people's peers is mainly to perform the violent task of the bounty hunter, so the small matter of sugar is done along the way.
But every scene is a classic.
Classic to the point that you only remember these scenes, but forget the main story line...
The baby just started, but also a little afraid of the male protagonist. I don't know if he loves himself or sells himself.
(Because of his high price, the Remnants of the Empire, the Star Wars villain, are looking for him in an attempt to deprive him of the Force.) ）
But after a long time, Baby Yoda found out... This man is truly in love with me.
Just don't say it on the surface.
Jaren was injured in battle with outsiders, repairing his armor with electric welding, and gasping for breath in pain.
Several times, Baby Yoda wanted to get out of the stroller and use the Force to help him fix it.
You see Jaron this love... Immediately put down the work at hand, endure the pain, hug and hug.
There is no line, cool man or cool man, but body language is not saying:
...... Baby, go back to the stroller and stay in the baby?
In the second episode, Jarun's spaceship, the Razor, is stolen by the Jawa people, and he rushes onto the Jawa people's "caravan" ship, ready to fight for his life.
Okay, what about babies?
Just drive a little stroller and follow behind your ass... This is to fight for love!
Because of Jalen at this time, the Mandalorian armor was not expensive, and it was seriously damaged, and the combat effectiveness was greatly reduced.
Three times and two times, they were driven away by the Jawa people.
He could only use the mud horned beast's giant egg to get close to the Jawa people, so as to exchange for his own parts and equipment.
Fighting with giant beasts, Jia Lun, who is alone, does not have the advantage.
Or lean on the little guy, nuzzle the little face!
Unleash the Force!
Only to control the beast.
And Yoda Baby also passed out due to excessive consumption.
This sleeping position, not doing a crib endorsement wasted.
Episode seven, again, is the highlight.
At this time, the relationship between the two is getting better and better, and they are all trained by fighting monsters all the way (don't look at the baby is small, the key moment is very top thing).
There is a detail in this episode, Jarron and his teammates break their wrists, but Baby Yoda doesn't understand ah, thinking that people are going to hurt daddy.
In a hurry, baby I want to cheat!
It used the Force and almost didn't strangle its teammates.
Looking at it, we felt as if the Force was endless, it was simply a show of hands for Baby Yoda.
But not.
In the second season, Jalen finds the Jedi Knight Asoka and wants to entrust the baby.
But people explained that the success of entrustment depends on fate.
"And I feel that you and him are more related."
Because Baby Yoda generally contains his Own Force, only in front of people who trust extremely, they will reveal it unguarded.
really.
This Jedi Knight, Asoka, seems to guide and train no matter how... Baby Yoda just won't exert his strength (don't recognize this daddy).
But Jalen picked it up as soon as he threw it.
Notice the small ball in his hand.
Perhaps afraid that this relationship has no evidence, the screenwriter specifically found a prop to prove the existence of this love relationship.
Is this a normal ball?
be.
But ordinary?
No.
02
Where did the ball come from?
We all know the word "love keepsake.".
In movies, many feelings need "keepsakes", because things can carry emotions, and without lines, they can impress the audience.
Just as Forrest Gump thinks of his mother with chocolate, Neo puts on his sunglasses and thinks of Trinity.
The ball works the same way.
It was originally just a small handle on Jalen's spaceship and was not worth much.
At first, it was only because Baby Yoda got on the boat and liked to poke and poke, that he was given a substitute.
You know, what is the most untouchable thing for men?
Car.
But watching the little guy do all kinds of things in the cockpit, Jalen just couldn't help it.
The ball on the operating stick, at first he did not let the baby take:
"It's not a toy!"
Later in the second season, you'll see.
As soon as you get in the car, send toys, or take the initiative!
Although still wearing a mask.
But by the end of the episode, the expression of the Mandalorian under the iron mask can already be imagined by the audience.
So, it should be a seven-love above, right?
Yes, it was about to break up, and he had that hunch.
When you are about to break up, you know how much you care.
Those past experiences, those changes that I made inadvertently, are all on the top.
The first time I took Baby Yoda, it was for the bounty, a barrel of expensive Mandalorian iron.
With a straight mouth, he had to say that people were "enemies."
△ When communicating with other Mandalorians, face is important
The first time he gave it to someone else, he betrayed the contract and betrayed the bounty hunter's work ethic.
In the future, he can even block the gun for the baby.
When the head of the Imperial Army's villain points a gun at the baby.
The Mandalorians are in chaos, and this time they are not only professional, but also dare to take their own lives.
In fact, the feeling of this thing does not have to be verified by strong winds and waves.
More terrible than the wind and waves.
Is it the name that pops up in your mind when the wind and waves are calm and boring, or that person.
Baby Yoda's name is "Grugu".
The only time the Mandalorian laughs in the whole play is because he knows the name.
He also called repeatedly.
Not why at all.
03
Where do the good ideas come from?
Sugar is quite a bit.
Here's the time to learn to dry goods.
Was this father-son plot routine invented by The Mandalorian, so good?
"The Mandalorian" is a "Star Wars" spin-off series, which was originally a subject that pure fans would be interested in, but it has become a popular hit (each season is the popularity champion of American streaming dramas).
China is the same, Douban last two seasons, more than 100,000 people hit 9.2, 9.5.
This is a beautiful turnaround battle after the "Star Wars" series was sung.
If according to Sir's analysis, although the main line of this drama is good, it cannot rely on commerciality.
The reason for the real popularity, of course, is not only the cuteness of Baby Yoda... Cuteness alone is inevitably superficial.
To make Meng valuable, it is necessary to impress the audience from a deeper ethical and emotional level.
Real hard moves must be dispatched.
In fact, the most sensational father-son relationship on the screen occurred 50 years ago.
In those years, Japanese master director Kenji Misumi made a set of samurai films with father-son love, scientifically called sword films, but the background color was actually a commercial blockbuster - the "Wolf with a Belt" series.
(His good work also includes the "Blind Man" series)
This set of films is based on a manga, sir watched it in college, and did not want to go to class at all.
Silent, wandering bounty hunters, with their children in exile.
Blood, violence, revenge, and magic blend in with soft father-son love.
The protagonist is a stinky-faced man who resembles a Mandalorian.
Baby, although not Yuda's cuteness, but also has the power to melt the audience that year.
The samurai's heart is cold, and the samurai's sword is cold.
But the samurai touched his son's hand, always hot.
Six, the departments sold well, and became a classic emulated by countless masters later.
Wong Kar-wai, Shinji Fukasaku, Quentin...
In the second part of "Kill Bill", Beatrice holds her daughter and watches TV.
What TV to watch? It's "The Wolf with the Belt" (the dialogue has been exposed).
In "East Evil and West Poison", Liang Chaowei's sentence before his death is very classic.
"I used to hear people say that if the knife is fast, when the blood spurts out of the wound, it sounds as good as the wind."
It is suspected of using a passage from the mouth of the villain in "The Wolf with the Belt".
Therefore, the success of "The Mandalorian" is not only to create a contrast.
The real contrast is between human emotions:
Innocence in killing.
The tenderness of the heartbreaker.
They are all core elements that stir up the most basic human emotions.
It's time.
Finally, we can talk about the moment of separation, which is also the key scene of "The Mandalorian" that makes people cry. But before that, Sir wanted to mention a helmet.
Helmet, symbol of the Mandalorian Creed.
Even if you are seriously injured, you think you are going to die.
He wouldn't let the robot (not yet a living person) see his face.
It can be seen that rules are more important than fate.
Is that rule more important than love?
At one point, Jalen almost opened her heart to love, and in the indisputable village, a simple aboriginal widow wanted to take off his helmet.
He didn't let it pick.
But in the moment of no one, he silently took it off.
But the face, did not let the audience see.
This is the most "life-like" moment in his whole play.
In the wild universe, for the first time, he revealed his yearning for love and family.
Claiming not to take off his helmet, he actually took off the whole drama four times.
Each time the node is picked, it is a "opening" to the self.
And the ultimate open, because of Yoda Baby.
The previous time was to save the baby, he had to take off his helmet and undergo a systematic facial scan.
The other time is the end.
At this time, take off the helmet, there is no need for plot.
Because Baby Yoda just wanted to touch his face.
But at the same time... Why wasn't he no longer staring at the "son" through the cold helmet screen.
In fact.
Jaren has worn a mask since he was a child, and the mask is a creed, and the mask is a shield on feelings.
Earlier, he had also told the little widow who was almost emotional about his life.
And the emergence of Yoda Baby's little life.
Only then did this lonely wanderer, who was accustomed to hiding his feelings, have the most symbolic imagination of "home" and "love".
This is the way？
This is the way。
The meaning of home, the meaning of love, is the ultimate epiphany of the play.
A cold mask can hide a momentary feeling, but it cannot hide a lifetime.
If you're still wearing a mask... Wear it first, cool is also very important.
It's just, the moment you meet someone you really care about.
Remember in time to take it off.
