After watching this movie, I remembered two sentences.
One sentence was said by Old Master Kong, sensitive to deeds and accepted by words.
Another sentence is Nike's advertising slogan: just do it!!
Thirteen years ago, in "Finding Nemo 1: Looking for Nemo", Pixar let the clownfish Marin overcome his timidity and venture through the vast sea for the sake of his lost only son, showing the beauty of family affection.
Thirteen years later, continuing the search theme of the first part, the sequel "Finding Nemo 2: Where Did Dolly Go" turned Marin's good adventure partner, Dolly the Cyanobacteria, into the protagonist, leaving her with short-term memory impairment to find her lost parents and home.
Dolly wanders the ocean floor and meets Marlin, who is desperate to find her son, before mistakenly embarking on the adventure. And this time Dolly remembers the memories of her childhood and returns to the road to find her mother (Dolly, who constantly flashes back to her childhood in the story, is too cute to be dubbed. Please be sure to look at the English version).
Growth is the foundation of Disney animation, if "Finding Nemo 1: In Search of Nemo" once used excellent anthropomorphism to present the healing process of people who have always had a timid and hesitant attitude towards life because they have been hurt. "Where Did Dolly Go" once again presents the charm of the actor.
I can, especially the innate "I can," is the embodiment of the strong.
But as ordinary fish (people), there are always various reasons for "I can't". In this movie, every character emphasizes "I can't."
Whales called "Destiny", trapped by myopia, always hit the wall in the pool, and therefore dare not rush back to the sea, although there is no wall in the sea.
Beluga whales, which have the world's best echo localization system, always feel that they cannot use this talent;
As a reference for Dolly, similar to the complementary personalities often found in American movies, the clown fish Marin is deeply involved in his own terrible past, his wife and children fall into the mouth of sharks overnight, always cautious, fish-rich places never go to the fun, and its "animal personality" must probably emphasize "I don't believe". In the first part, because it did not believe the warning of the swordfish, when crossing the trench, it must go to the upper part that seems safe, encountered the peach blossom jellyfish, and almost lost its life.
The courage to change always flashes a more moving color than conformism.
The adventure stems from the character's curiosity about the world and shows the positive power of the positive. It is not only about the audience's adrenaline boost due to the unknowable results. Pleasure is not the goal, what is important is the process of the character overcoming his own personality obstacles, which is the result of the character's eventual growth.
As the protagonist of the inspirational story, Dolly has her own insurmountable obstacles, she has suffered from short-term memory disorder since she was a child, and after being washed into the sea by an accidental undercurrent, she can neither remember where her home is, nor where she wants to go. (Fits the human inertial perception of fish — memory doesn't take more than seven seconds.) Because of the loss of memory, I can't even remember such a simple command as turning right after two left turns.
But every dark cloud is set with a silver edge, and because she often can't remember what she has experienced before, Dolly, although she has taken the risk of mistakes, she never says anything, and she thinks of doing it, and her action is extremely strong. In fact, she also crossed the pipeline to the sea and found a home.
Marin, who never believes in others, thinks for dolly, in every possible moment of despair,
What will Dolly do?
How to do it, just do it!
See the trick, no water will die, then jump from the fountain!
The passive Marlin becomes the active Marlin, and the unconfident people solve the problem through action.
As a metaphor, the marine animal sanctuaries in the film originally followed the principle of save-cure-release. Fish stamped with the seal of incurable incurable are returned to the Marine Zoological Museum;
Disney, who never skimps on contributing cute characters, shows the characters overcoming their own insecurity in the film , Dolly and Brother Octopus bypass the crazy cops and drive the aquarists on a runaway.
Cute beaver responsible for creating traffic obstacles by selling cuteness
In the spirit of American optimism, the film emphasizes that there is no need for humans to judge what is a state that has been cured and can be returned to nature, and once the animals overcome the psychological obstacle of "I can't", they can live bravely without fear of danger, after all, the little Nemo with a disabled fin has also found his way home.
Anyway, just do it! That's it.
But then again, the cutest character in this film is actually the stubborn octopus brother, like the pessimistic hero image I am accustomed to loving, yi is not that I can't, but I don't want to, adhering to a negative attitude towards life, for example, compared to the ocean, "I just want to live alone in the oceanographic museum", and willing to make all the efforts for this.
Even a deep sense of friendship, one of the moving golden sentences in the whole film is brother octopus said, "I think you will forget me in three seconds, but it is difficult for me to forget you."
Looking forward to the third part featuring Brother Octopus, what is the most appropriate theme?
Find passion!
