Poetry and books in literature/dreams
Seeing the box monster has a familiar feeling. In the stop-motion animation, we can see the metaphorical ridicule of social criticism in Joy, which is similar to the Story of Two Generations of Love written by China in those years. Only now, we have not stopped. Stop-motion animation such as ink animation has long been silent in China, but this most primitive film animation technique is still blooming its own unique charm.
Today, with the maturity of 3D animation technology, it takes a lot of time and energy to make stop-motion animation of scenes and characters. At first glance, it seems so thankless. But just as Miyazaki Hayao, a Japanese animation master, insisted on hand-drawn animation, asking passers-by and others to be very close to life, Leica Animation Studio is also the insistence of a dreamer who has inherited a century-old stop-motion animation. When a stop-motion animation with a really excellent character background is presented on the screen, the unique and realistic impression is really incomparable to computer 3D animation. The Victorian period was slightly dark but delicate, like a declining but elegant wise man. On the other hand, today's tycoons such as Disney and Pixar are more eager to meet the audience than who is cute, but Box Monster is still as persistent as a stop-motion animation, telling a fable that inspires the audience with humor.
In the movie, the timid, kind and docile Boxer monster was portrayed as an evil cannibal monster by ambitious politicians. When rumors cover up the truth, they are even arranged as a stage play. Fear of the unknown makes people full of disgust and hatred for the Boxer monster. Although rumors stop at the wise, the public often cannot be immune to the power relationship itself, and those in power only care about their so-called "noble" white hat and decent cheese life. It has nothing to do with the truth of the incident. When you look at it as an American movie, you will find that a large number of boxmonsters are like oppressed slaves. Through the main line of "egg-laying", we can not only awaken boxmonsters' sense of struggle in the crisis, but also melt the ice of people's misunderstanding of boxmonsters. The metaphor understood in this animation not only makes children feel happy, but also mocks ignorance and racism.
If the moral of the film itself is the highlight of the film, it is a success for Xiao He and a failure for Xiao He. As a children's animation, the film obviously fails to fully consider the children's acceptance, the hasty rendering of love and the hasty affection between father and son, all of which make the film full of emotions but hard to impress, and pay too much attention to the expression of various metaphors, but fail to create a style that can catch the children's eye. The limitation of stop-motion animation also brings amazing visual effects to 3D animation, but
When the last egg is drawn, the hardships of stop-motion animation can not help but be awe-inspiring, and those fables full of positive energy make Box Monster more than just a superficial generalization.
