The movie "Mozart in Outer Space": What is the metaphor of the flying toy boat?丨 contend

"Mozart of Outer Space" is a family -friendly movie aimed at the majority of the audience. The film deliberately spreads a positive educational concept in a happy atmosphere through an alternative dramatic context, while expressing the preciousness of affection. Especially the alien Mozart's understanding of the concept of "loved ones" has played an important role at the end of the film. Huang Bo's performance well balances the hypothetical and realistic logic of the film. He is good at playing the humble and well -changing little person, and can always evoke the audience's high recognition of such characters.

This film has the standard configuration of commercial films, the types of science fiction, comedy, and ethics. Director Chen Sicheng, Huang Bo, Yao Chen, Fan Wei, Huang Jue, Mei Ting, Jia Bing, Lang Lang and many other stars joined for performances. The film brings enough attention. The industrial quality of the film is worthy of recognition, and the audiovisual effects of some important paragraphs are impressive. For example, a bridge that can walk in the air with books; there are aliens to let Xiaotian understand the world of frequency. Many of the films are adopted from Beijing. In the climax of the film, several children and aliens take a toy boat flying from the Beijing landmark building complex fountain to the Great Wall, which is full of romantic colors. This is reminiscent of the sci -fi film "E.T." directed by Spielberg, the boy Eliowe riding a bicycle with aliens flying towards the sky. The toy boats flying in "Mozart of Outside Space" are not as classic as "E.T.", but it virtually constitutes a metaphor for the entire film and even a certain type of Chinese film creation.

Chinese movies do lack enough experience in the creation of Haruka Huan movies. This film is unsuccessful in grasp of the audience. First of all, it is manifested in adults that it will feel naive, the thought of the film is too straightforward, and the expression means obviously routine. At the same time, it is embarrassing to observe this film with a standard of children's movies. The protagonist Ren Xiaotian started a small difference and did not respect the teacher; art education showed great utilitarian colors in the film. In fact, even the film does not make clear what the art is. Even if Xiaotian understands the greatness of music from the aliens, it is actually scientific to understand that art is actually scientific, and in the world of sound, the mystery of the universe He also won the first place in the piano competition, and he still couldn't be interested in art. This not only proves that the music itself lacks charm, cannot conquer children, but even indirectly proves that Xiaotian does not love science. The further evidence is that although Xiaotian wanted to be astronomers, he only showed that he liked to watch astronomical magazines and visit the Astronomical Museum, but did not see his patience about his study of the basic knowledge of the textbook. He only played waybody and lacks real research. The story does not show his attitude of learning as a student as an ideal.

The disease in Chinese -style education is to arrange children's life in the name of love, deprive children as a choice of independent life. Parents always ask their children for reasons such as "all for your goodness", "you will thank me in the future", and impose their "good intentions" to the children, and the other party feels good or bad. It is not important. This problem has long been talking about Chinese literary works. There have been more and greater changes in life life today. The artists need to be tapped. People face many complicated problems that have never been encountered in their children's education. For example Problems, social hierarchies in children, students' living conditions after dual reduction policy, psychological problems brought about by the post -epidemic era network learning, mobile games and community software and children's circle society. If this film puts aside the aliens, in fact, only one old story is told, more like the memories of some experiences of their teenagers in the previous generation. The creators are not sensitive to reality. Some scenes in the movie, especially the description of the environment and interpersonal relationships of the middle school campus, are large.

In recent years, some common routines have appeared in Chinese movies, especially children's movies. For example, children in the story live in single -parent families. Unable to avoid vulgarity. In fact, we need to tell stories in normal and normal ways.

Now, when we return to that picture, the toy boat rises empty, very romantic and beautiful, making it the motivation to sail it is the art of music, and it is something that the protagonist escapes from beginning to end. This contradictory logic eventually caused it to be unable to return smoothly and trapped the children on the Great Wall, which also gave the bad guys a chance to take advantage of it. Our film creation sometimes falls into the logical errors of contradictory contradictions, only paying attention to surface kung fu, and ignoring what the real motivation is. The artist abandon the foundation of real life, which will lead to the weak narrative of the film. Even if the picture is dreamy and how hard the actors perform, it is difficult to get recognition. The creators are adults, no longer children, and can not be willful; you have dared to dream as a good child. Now you have grown up and you must dare to face a real life.
