Some netizens have made the following complaints about Pixar's long animation:
Pixar's latest feature-length animation is called "Mind Agent Team" (people are obviously inside out), you should not be misled by this unsynew Chinese title, in fact, Pixar this time opened his mind, for fans to present creative and sincere masterpieces. I don't believe you can see the score of Douban yourself!
The protagonist of "Mind Task Force" is the five emotions in the brain of 11-year-old American girl Riley: joy (joy), sadness (sadness), anger (anger), fear (fear) and disgust (disgust). Pixar simplifies the multiple emotions of human beings into these five types, and presents the inner world of the human brain through creative ideas.
Joy is shaped like a golden star, jumping up and down like chicken blood all year round, and is a complete tomboy. Her job is to make Riley happy, optimistic and positive, she can always handle the big and small situations inside and outside her mind. She is Riley's dominant emotion.
Sadness is shaped like a teardrop, and the whole body color is blue, which can make Riley feel sad. Looking at her slow-moving figure and depressed eyes, you know that she is "not a female classmate without a story."
Anger is a brick of fire, a grumpy and arrogant uncle, and when Riley is angry, it is because he spews fire in his head. Since people forget their fears when they are angry, angels often abuse fear.
The fear archetype is a neuron, and as his name goes, he is naturally afraid of anything, but don't think he's just timid, and fearful emotions can keep humans away from potential dangers, like a wire on the ground waiting to trip Riley to fall.
Disgust determines Riley's tastes and tastes, such as her keeping Riley away from broccoli, or washing and blowing. But she herself was like a broccoli. The director does not mean black broccoli, instead he likes to eat broccoli.
These five emotional villains, which form the control team of the human brain headquarters, will form a memory ball when each emotion is generated, which will temporarily exist in the headquarters to form short-term memory; in the middle of the night, the memory ball is transferred to the deep layer of the brain to form a long-term memory. In addition to the brain headquarters, the core memories in the memory ball also form corresponding personality islands, which are displayed on the basis of human personality. The island of personality can be established or disappeared with personal experience, and can also be rebuilt. The most subtle thing is that "Brain Task Force" also turns human dreams, subconscious, imagination and abstract thinking into "brain holes" and visualizes boring and complex concepts.
Before "Brain Task Force", there was also an animation based on the interior of the human body called "Ultimate Cell Warfare", which tells the story of white blood cells fighting the mutant Ebola virus. The two are similar, but Xiaobian believes that "Brain Agent Team" is better: after all, the brain is the most complex organ of the human body, there are more mysteries to be solved, and the creator's brain hole can be infinitely released; in addition, compared with the single story line of "Ultimate Cell War", "Mind Agent Team" not only has to deal with the relationship between the various emotional villains in Riley's brain, but also takes into account the relationship between Riley and her parents outside the brain, which is an unprecedented challenge for the creative team of only 45 people.
Growth seems to be the constant theme of Pixar, Andy in Toy Story, Abu in Monster Power, Nemo in Finding Nemo... They are all facing the troubles of growing up in this way and another. And this time in "Mind Agent", Pixar wants to explain why there are troubles in growing up.
Because joy dominates the emotional console, Riley was happy until the age of 11. But when Riley's family moved to San Francisco, the change in circumstances left Joy a little overwhelmed. She struggled to address the situation and also limited sadness's work. But forcing a smile didn't work, it caused more trouble. As a result, Riley became withdrawn and did not like to communicate. Faced with one collapsed personality island after another, "Chicken Blood Star" joy also cried bitterly with his core memory. After the grief, she discovered that the five emotions were all responsible, and sadness's work was indispensable to Riley. So at the end, we see a sad Riley telling her parents that she wants to go home, and the family of three hugs each other with tears and laughter.
After this big change, joy also understands the existence of "mixed feelings", and Riley's memory ball is no longer monochromatic. This may also explain why we miss that "simple happiness" more and more after we understand things.
In addition, the movie seems to be able to answer the parents' questions - what do the children think every day? Most of the creative team of "Mind Agents" has children, and the experience of living with children has brought a lot of realism to this animation, especially the dialogue scene between Riley and her father when Angel controls the console, which almost every family will encounter. Perhaps after watching the various warning states of emotional villains when they quarrel, you as children and parents have since become more understanding of each other.
Riley's brain has an important role in addition to the emotional villains and brain workers at headquarters (pink elephant nose brother in the picture below).
The drama of this product is very heavy, involving important plots, and the editor is fiercely selling a close here.
There are also many moments in the animation that pay tribute to Pixar's previous works, and interested fans can look for them. "Brain Agent Team" is expected to be released in the mainland on October 8 this year, Pixar, Disney brain fans must not be stingy with silver, go to the cinema together to open their minds!
