Your favorite Ice Age series is also starting to learn to fool the audience.
This series was once a consistent surprise. 1 to 4 are all super high scores of 8.2 on Douban, but "Ice Age 5" can currently get 6.6 estimates of the feelings +1s given by many fans.
The Genesis section at the beginning of the film actually continues the usual nonsense funny. The planets of the solar system randomly roll to their respective positions like billiard balls, and the origin of the law of everything is just a stupid squirrel chasing an acorn. In fact, the values and attitudes to life that the Ice Age series has been transmitting are "relax, take it easy", life is not so complicated, and it is enough for small partners to play and make a fuss.
The Mammoth family, long-time leader of the Ice Age series of animals, has been the plot and core driving force in playing the heroic rescuer identity and providing a warm sample of affectionate love. The characterization of these behemoths is also the most three-dimensional part of each whole film. However, if the intergenerational differences and bridges, parent-child misunderstandings and reconciliations are pulled out again and again as the climax of the film's conflict, it is inevitable that the audience will have aesthetic fatigue that "you can no longer give a reasonable explanation for laziness".
Stereotypes are not a good word, fathers always love their daughters deeply and stubbornly do not express themselves, mothers are always extremely benevolent and tolerant and full of understanding of people and things, daughters are always enthusiastic and rebellious, and sons-in-law are always the "pig arch cabbage" who plays the intruder next door bad boy. If this kind of stem had been placed ten years ago, it was still dramatic and quite innovative, and it is really too old to look at it today.
Of course, many fans have jumped out, "What we see is the classic feelings that you pretend to be forced to understand", vowing to defend an old terrier is because it is not to follow the tide. I'll admit that sometimes "old school is better than old school", but what more audiences need is the equal seriousness of the producers, which is not yet reflected in Ice Age 5.
"Ice Age 4" subverts the theory of continental drift plate motion, and "Ice Age 5" begins to subvert the cause of the extinction of asteroids hitting the earth. Judging from the overwhelming number of children playing and crying in the cinema after the domestic release, the series has made outstanding contributions to the gamification education of infants and young children. If there are adult audiences who really feel too childish and almost sleep in the theater, for the sake of the children, it is better to sleep.
"Ice Age 5" has held several press conferences in terms of release publicity, and the selling point is focused on the strong Chinese voice cast. Ma Li, Shen Teng, Chang Yuan and other happy twist team top spirit icon, as well as not too hot when the popular fried chicken Zhang Yishan, this point is obviously set up in the 80, 90 later, but now watch foreign movies everyone likes to talk about an "original" forced grid, even watching Hong Kong films to find a Cantonese version of the city, so how much this kind of trickery can contribute to the film is still unknown.
Cartoons retain a small part of our innermost nature, and the so-called truth, goodness and beauty are also things that most cartoons try to render. The same is true of "Ice Age 5", but how much it can touch the audience, you can go to the theater to try it.
