Pixar's latest tear-jerking animated film, King Kong Wisdom in 1/2 Magic
The newly released Pixar animated film 1/2 magic takes place in a fantasy world of elves, centaurs, unicorns, and dragons.
Although magic once existed, the advent of modern technology has made it gradually forgotten.
Elves no longer fly, centaurs no longer run, unicorns roam through the trash cans.
The protagonist's younger brother Ian is an introverted, timid, and unconfident child, and his older brother Barry is the opposite of his brother who is not afraid of heaven, earth, and big grin.
The brothers lost their father from an early age, and the biggest common denominator is that they miss their father incomparably.
On Ian's 16th birthday, he unexpectedly received a gift from his father: a wand and phoenix stone.
Using magic to revive Dad for 24 hours, and when casting the spell, the Phoenix Stone ran out, only the lower body of Dad was conjured up, and in order to find the Phoenix Stone to resurrect the complete Father, the brothers embarked on an adventure.
Ian was timid and afraid to drive, but when his brother became the size of a palm and couldn't drive, he was forced to drive himself to escape the revenge of the elves.
He shouted nervously, "I'm not ready." ”
His younger brother shouted, "You don't need to be ready, change lanes!" “
Ian, who did not have time to think, was forced to change lanes quickly, and actually managed to escape the pursuit.
People tend to overestimate the power of the future and ignore the actions of the present.
Ian, who did not need to prepare, became a master driver, and at this moment he set off for love and advanced at full speed.
Next, there is an even bigger test that awaits Ian – confidence in himself.
The brothers had to have a man walk across the cliff to the other side to release the suspension bridge, but only Ian had the ability to cast magic.
At this moment, he needs to cast a spell to create a transparent path in the middle of the high cliff.
Whether this path can emerge depends entirely on Ian's inner confidence.
Faith spells work and the way appears; once faith is lost, the spell fails and the path disappears.
To reassure Ian, his brother tied a rope around his waist.
So Ian walked on the cliff with confidence, and suddenly the rope broke, and Ian didn't know it, he walked more and more freely, and he also circled on the cliff.
When he was about to walk to the cliff on the other side, he suddenly turned back and found that he did not have a rope on him, and immediately feared, the magic failed, the transparent road disappeared, and he did not fall down by the last pull on the edge of the cliff.
Everyone has far more potential than we think, but do we genuinely agree and have enough confidence in ourselves?
We try to find security from the outside, just as Ian thinks his safety comes from the rope around his waist, when in fact the greatest security comes from his own inner confidence.
Only you can give yourself the greatest guarantee and confidence.
After Ian and his brother go through the difficult tunnel, they find that the end of the tunnel is actually Ian's school.
Who would have thought of going through a difficult expedition to find the Phoenix Gem, but the gem was right next to them.
It's like in our lives, we have been grasping for precious things, but we have never thought that the most precious things are around us.
But Ian, who returned to the starting point, was different from the timid and cowardly man he was when he set out, and the various tribulations and setbacks along the way re-created a courageous and heroic him.
The Phoenix Gem is guarded by a dragon, and he bravely goes to fight the dragon.
At this moment, there are few 24 hours left, and finally face the moment of resurrecting dad.
When Ian learned that his brother's boldness stemmed from the regret that he had not said goodbye to his father on his deathbed, he decisively gave up the moment when he wanted to see his father day and night to his brother and went to fight the dragon himself.
When Ian watched from a distance as dad and brother hugged and disappeared, he pulled out a list of dreams he wanted to do with his dad.
Regrettably, when he crossed out each project, he suddenly found that these things he wanted to do, his brother had all accompanied him to complete.
It turned out that the brother had been giving Ianna another "1/2" of his father's love.
His brother also passed him his father's hug.
What he wanted to have, he already had at the moment.
He becomes bold, confident, selfless, and fulfills all his wishes, and Ian has become more intimate with his brother.
The world around them also changed: elves flew together, centaurs began to run again, unicorns came back to life, and the fantasy world regained its true vitality.
Let's go back to the teachings of 2,500 years of ancient wisdom: what you get is what you give, and your seed creates everything around you.
When Ian was obsessed with meeting his father who died young, and learning to drive, play games, walk together, laugh together, and try his best to almost succeed in his father's company, he left such a precious opportunity to be with his father to his brother who had regrets in his heart.
At the same time, he found that the brother he wanted had all accompanied him.
And the timid Ian has been looking for himself in this way of finding his father, his courage, courage, confidence, and invaluable love.
And he originally had all of them, but he was obscured by the shadow of losing his father since he was a child.
He regained everything he had, and he found the most precious gift around him, the company of his dear brother.
Filled with love and courage, Ian created a whole new world of love and energy around him.
If you want to create such a world, take the road with love.
