"Tom and Jerry", as a very old anime produced in 1939 and premiered in 1940, has undoubtedly accompanied the growth of generations of people.
It has fans of all ages and all walks of life, and in the eyes of different people, the interpretation of this animation is also different.
For example, some people quietly noticed that When others were paying attention to the plot of the animation, Tom's hostess.
There are many topics about the hostess, and the most common is to ask her why she does not show her face.
In fact, in a strict sense, this hostess has shown her face.
In the episode "Cats on Saturday Night," Mrs. Two Shoes first puts nail polish on.
Moreover, it looks like a noble lady going out on the street.
The bracelet was brought alive into a "cuff sleeve".
Is this the new posture of showing off financial resources?
Love love.
Paired with ancestral gemstones.
In today's poker game, Mrs. Two Shoes must be the only one.
Immediately after the hostess left, Tom called his little friend who lived outside and began a happy rock 'n' roll time.
Jerry, as a good baby who goes to bed early and gets up early, is overwhelmed by these noises.
One mouse vs four cats.
Jerry was hanged.
Jerry was directly tied up as "Mao Mao" and forced to accept the baptism of rock music.
So he sacrificed the ultimate trick - to sue the parents.
A phone call was made to the hostess who was playing bridge with her girlfriend.
The plot of the hostess's face is also in the later paragraph.
This shot is a shot of the hostess running wildly from far and near on the road.
The author can't help but wittily intercept the picture.
I also took three screenshots at a time.
As you can see,
This two pair of shoes, with his face appearing less, really grows casually.
But if the creator uses the dim sum, it will not be like this.
Although the two-shoe wife did not look very good, she did show her face.
The last episode in which Mrs. Two Shoes appeared was episode 70 of Tom and Jerry, The Robot Cat Storm.
Later, due to the death of the voice actor of the role in 1952, the role ceased to exist.
Later, among the owners of Tom Cat, such as Jonny, George, the man, etc., most of them had names and officially showed their faces.
Many people wonder why there are so few opportunities for mrs. two-legged wives to show their faces, and what is the reason for this?
Reason one: The hostess is a supporting role
The reason for this is very simple, the main plot of "Tom and Jerry" revolves around Tom and Jerry, and the main embodiment is the chase and jokes between cats and mice.
The hostess is the dragon set, and the role in it is not important.
Reason two: the problem of perspective
Because of the difference in height, pets who look at their owners from the perspective rarely have the opportunity to see the whole body.
Most of the scenes in the anime for the hostess are taken from her lower body.
One of them reflects Tom's position in the home, which is to catch mice, rather than as a pure pet as in modern times.
This way of framing not only lays a more stable background for Tom's cat, but also increases the distance between Tom and the hostess. At the same time, the dominance of the hostess in this house is highly emphasized.
The second is that such a framing can highlight the setting of "Tom and Jerry".
From the perspective of animals, the basic worldview settings appear more realistic, and the sense of substitution is raised and the sense of violation is reduced.
Reason three: racial discrimination
The creator himself actually does not have this problem, otherwise he would not have deliberately set up the role of the black hostess.
You know, in the social background at that time, most of the nannies were black, and their usual actions were very limited, let alone wear gold and silver to play bridge in high-end clubs.
But after all, the arm was not enough to the thigh, even if the role was designed, in the social context of the time, the two pairs of shoes were doomed to not get the same treatment as other Tom masters.
This claim is not nonsense.
In "The Cat of the Weekend Night", the two pairs of shoes are tragically beautified by a single touch, and they change from thick-legged blacks to thin-legged whites.
Looking at the comparison charts before and after these beautifications now, people feel endlessly ironic.
This change reminds me of the little mermaid who was "blackened" this year.
And Snow White, who can no longer "wash white".
What did the Little Mermaid do wrong?
Why did Snow White jump into the Yellow River and wash it white?
These things are just the result of the struggle between several forces.
Compared with these two, the situation of the two shoe wives is much better.
Although she was born into a society that was not very friendly to her, at the insistence of her creators, she assumed the role of authority and order in the anime Tom and Jerry.
She decided that the cat was indoors and the dog was outdoors; and that the rats were in the indoor realm as saboteurs.
Because of her existence, there is a contradiction between "Tom and Jerry".
From here, the authority given to her by the creator is enough to see that the creator has given her full of care.
And it's not an unclean sludge.
