Crazy Dating Mirador is a thought-provoking comic strip film that focuses on the small inland towns of France and the New York City of the United States, where Mirador represents. In this world, France gave the Statue of Liberty in New York to celebrate American independence. In the animated world, the Statue of Liberty has become a bloated fat figure.
The change from the Statue of Liberty sculpture is the contradiction and conflict that arises in the process of merging traditional and modern cultural values. France and the United States have the same roots and belong to the same Western culture, but in the process of modern development, they have derived different patterns, on the one hand, the traditional consciousness represented by the Western countries, and on the other hand, the modern era represented by the United States. "Crazy Dating Mirador" further expands the conflict between tradition and modernity through the key character Grandma Chabin, so that everyone can see the changes in people's emotional and inner needs behind the progress of the times.

The story of this work originates in France, Chabin and Grandma live in an unknown town in France, in Chabin's childhood, their courtyard is deserted, Grandma and Chabin plus a dog to rely on each other, this environment is the norm in the countryside of Europe, villages and villages, households are far apart, people also have a greater range of activities and more private family life with each other. However, with the development of society, Chabin's house formation was surrounded by high-rise buildings and even rail transit, and the originally quiet family life was broken by the sound of dog barking and honking.
The Tour de France is another tradition, but the honor behind the tradition has become a thing of the past. In the film, the French people are still cheering about the Tour de France, but behind the bicycles are surrounded by cars. When the value of bicycles as a tool is gradually replaced by cars, cyclists have become the scenery or objects that everyone sees. Chabin, who rode his bicycle on the Tour de France, became the object of observation by the French people; Chabin, who rode his bicycle behind the screen and did not know the end, became the object of the American people's gambling.
In the eyes of the French people and the American people, our protagonist Chabin does not seem to be very different, but in essence he has long been reduced to a cultural victim. Because Chabin, riding a bicycle, represents the French people's nostalgia for the traditional Western way of life, and the American people's curiosity for modern new forms of entertainment.
When it comes to French food, many people's first impression should be Michelin restaurants, of course, French cuisine is also known as one of the world's three major dishes. But the exquisite style, delicious dishes are not common in the homes of ordinary people, Chabin's grandmother prepared dinner for Chabin is a very ordinary stew potato with a lot of spices, it looks neither beautiful nor delicious, stew potatoes and other meals are also common cooking dishes in France and even Northern Europe, which can also be called their dietary traditions. The picture jumps to the United States, the code of the Statue of Liberty is replaced by the burger, the torch symbolizing freedom is replaced by ice cream, and the burger and ice cream have become a common diet for the American people, and they have become more and more bloated.
It belongs to the same Western culture, but the new fast food culture of the United States has formed a sharp contrast with the traditional food culture of France, and the food culture also marks that the United States has entered a new way of life, but France is still stuck in the past tradition.
The animated film "Crazy Encounter Mirador" is actually bashing the realism after the exaggeration of American capitalism, and the American people have thus shown a bloated and tired pathology, but this process is unavoidable, we cannot stop the development of the times, perhaps there will be many ills in this process, but we still have to face it calmly, after all, every metamorphosis of the times is an opportunity for all of us to grow. In the face of new things, nostalgia is also a norm, but some traditions will eventually be eliminated with the development of the times, and what we need to remember is not the external form of these traditional cultures, but the inner essence: spirit and ideological culture.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > the inner emotions and needs of the exaggerated approach of Crazy Dating Mirador</h1>
Crazy Dating Mirador uses a lot of exaggeration to describe people's emotions and needs. When Grandma Chabin followed Chabin during the Tour de France, the tire of the car was accidentally punctured, and finally Grandma used candy to lure the dog into acting as a new type of tire. When Chabin was taken away by a giant steamship, she was able to charter a pedal boat and pedal all the way across the Atlantic to New York.
These two exaggerated scenes actually show Grandma's concern for her grandson Chabin. Grandma and grandchildren grew up with each other, and Chabin developed autism because he lost his parents. Grandma feels that she owes Charlie too much, and has been trying to make up for the shortcomings of Charlie's childhood, so that Charlie can grow up healthy and happy. There is no strong concept of family first in the exaggerated performance method, but it shows the helplessness behind Grandma's concern for Charlie's life. For more than ten years, Grandma hoped that Charlie would understand her good intentions, but Charlie has been addicted to her own world. When Charlie's autism was cured, he replied to his grandmother with a "yes, it's over, Grandma", but unfortunately Grandma has long passed away and can't hear it.
The three sisters of Mirador are also another highlight of this animation, and they who were popular all over Mirador in their youth are now feeding on frogs in the wind candle, using newspapers, refrigerators, and vacuum cleaners as tools to play. The gap was discovered by Grandma Chabin, who had watched the TV performance of the three sisters, but now saw the three sisters on the street.
They were also fallen people in the end of the world, because of the exaggerated playing techniques, they came together and enjoyed a frog dinner using exaggerated cooking techniques. In the figure of the three sisters is their dedication to music, but also their adherence to friendship. In this society where wealth and wealth are easy and hardships are shared, friendship is not easy. In the relationship between the three sisters and Grandma Chabin, it is their understanding of strangers that life is not easy, but they still leave the only remaining kindness to this society.
Behind the exaggerated expression, the real family and friendship, as well as the pity between strangers, are vividly exerted. Even people who live in two different cities can still meet and help each other because of their common interests and hobbies. Even if the external environment is harsh, they can still live for themselves. Chabin's abduction was caused by the dissatisfaction of the ruling class behind the mafia with the desire for money and profit, which also showed that the emerging bourgeoisie in the United States, or the American people who had become rich, were no longer satisfied with the existing cultural life. Through the film's comparison between the lower classes and the bourgeoisie, although they are in the same city, their lives are very different. Maybe life can be simple, but it is difficult for us to keep our inner peace and suppress our inner desires.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > summarized above</h1>
Although "Crazy Dating Mirador" is an animated work, it reflects the real society through satire. From the inland towns of France to New York in the United States, we see not only changes in time and place, but also a shift in tradition and reality. We cannot stop the advent of the modern era, even if the real society has all kinds of ills, but we should also be calm in order to achieve the point of self-interest; and traditional culture will eventually leave us, even if we do not give up, we still have to give up its external form in time to retain the inner essence to grow ourselves, while embracing the present, but also accept the past, although history will not repeat itself, but the lessons left to us are enough for us to use for a lifetime.
In addition to the opposition between tradition and reality, the film also strives to render family affection and friendship, let us experience grandma's love and helplessness for her grandson in exaggerated performance techniques, re-sing the sincere friendship of the three sisters and the rich and noble, and the only goodwill between the fallen people in the end of the world. The change of the times can change a person's needs for material life, but it is difficult to change his true feelings. In a rapidly developing society, only by keeping our inner peace and desire can we not lose ourselves in the world of red and green flowers.
