In fact, I have watched this movie for a long time, and even watched it several times, but I have been reluctant to write anything. Maybe it is because I have not encountered such a beautiful love as in the movie, so I always feel that it is a little one-sided to write so rashly, and what I write may contradict the movie.
But yesterday inadvertently re-watch and let me feel quite deep, thinking that even if there is no such love, it is necessary to write something, after all, he is not just love. But seriously loving someone for the rest of your life is really the coolest adventure.
It’s a romantic story
The movie “Up” tells an amazing story. Carl is a little introverted boy with dreams of adventure. By chance, he broke into tomboy Ellie’s secret base. The two also quickly become familiar with each other because of their shared dreams of adventure, and Carl even becomes a member of Ellie’s adventure team, although the team previously only Ellie.
The next thing you know, two like-minded people are married. The film then cuts to a classic quick cut of Carl and Ellie’s life. The happy picture was followed by Ellie getting sick and leaving Carl. After Ellie’s departure, Carl’s life has changed a lot, and the place he used to live with Ellie has to be transformed.
Carl became the biggest “thorn” in the block renovation because he couldn’t bear to part with the house filled with memories of him and Ellie. After a dispute with street workers over his beloved mailbox, Carl is forced to leave a house full of memories.
In order not to leave his own house, Carl decides to transform the house into a flying house, taking his and Ellie’s memories away from that long ago different street. During the flight, Karl was surprised to find that the fat who appeared at his door a few days ago was also in the flying house, so Karl and Fat began a “flying house tour”……
In fact, whether it is risky, whether it is traveling around I don’t care at all, and then when I watch the movie, the bullet screen also floats all kinds of “This is OK?” The question. It is true that such things are impossible in real life, but after all, it is an anime movie with a fairy tale color.
Moreover, the high score of “Up” is not because of his wonderful adventure story, more or Carl and Ellie that an enenvious love, which is why I have seen many times after still reluctant to write something.
It is very common to like a person, because many people will like many people in their life, and even some people can like many people at the same time, and it is a cool thing to like a person all the time.
The clip in the movie about Carl and Ellie’s life is really warm to the heart. It’s only a few minutes of footage, but it tells the story of a lifetime, with no shortage of details. Two adventurous people who have spent their lives together is romantic enough in itself.
There are so many enviable details in one shot, Carl’s handprint soiled the new mind, and Ali immediately installed her own handprint. Ellie is sick and lying in bed, and Carl sends a balloon to Ellie to be happy. So you come to me to the type of love is probably now a lot of people say two-way to it, compared to a person’s struggle to move forward, such a two-way is the meaning of love.
Below Disney level
Of course, in addition to this instant and enviable love, “Up” can win the Oscar and the audience’s good reputation by more than Carl and Ellie’s touching love. Disney’s animation production level does not need to be overemphasized.
Whether in the dynamic production of balloons above the flying house, or in the presentation of characters, Disney’s level is still a high-level representative of animated film production. In addition to the most basic characters, props and other production, there are also large scenes can reflect the production level of Disney animation.
In the scene presentation of the rain forest through the rain forest, the light and shadow in the rain forest, the color changes of the leaves and even the wormholes on the large leaves all present a very beautiful picture. Such a picture is not to say how simulation, drawing and shooting the same, and can make people feel real, which is probably the charm of animated films. In the “Fairyland waterfall” and other large scenes, the picture can give the audience a mysterious and magnificent feeling.
It is said that Disney is detail-controlled, and this sentence is not only placed on those who can locally enlarge the character to count the hair of the princess animation, but also applies in “Up”. The most obvious is the various MEDALS on the body of little Fat Little Luo, each badge has a clear line.
Look carefully at the different patterns of each badge, representing the various “various honors” received by Xiao Luo. Another point worth mentioning is the grain on Carl’s clothes, and the concave and convex sense of knitting shows a three-dimensional sense.
Disney’s painting style has always been like this, between animation and reality, it looks like an ordinary animated movie, but when it is enlarged, it will surprise people how the details can be so realistic.
The last detail that wasn’t particularly surprising, but that warmed my heart, was the gold ring on Carl’s ring finger. Although Carl’s character will definitely wear this ring after Ellie’s death, we will still feel a warm heart when we notice it again. Perhaps love is reflected in these easily overlooked details.
Of course, Disney details are not only reflected in the image and the presentation of the picture, there are many hidden details in the movie, for example, the balloon tied to the house is a safe helium balloon rather than hydrogen balloon. Another example is that although Xiao Luo carries a tent with him, it is difficult to put it up with his ability.
In this way, the family behind Xiao Luo is not happy in the setting of echo, or this is to sit behind the paving. In fact, these are ordinary but reasonable details, but such ordinary and reasonable Settings are just in line with real life, and will not let people have the feeling of being irrelevant although it is an animation movie.
That cute kid
Finally, I want to talk about Luo, a cute and talkative child. Russell is like a child sent by God to fulfill an unfinished dream in Carl’s heart. Kind of obnoxious, but goofy cute. You think this is just an innocent, happy kid?
Disney’s knife, still behind, finds Russell in a broken home where his father has found a new partner and doesn’t have much time for him. It can be seen that Xiao Luo’s mother is also a little disgusted with Xiao Luo’s words. The movie does not say how Luo’s family is, but Luo’s words inadvertently reveal the loneliness of this cute little fat.
Disney knives seem to be like this, gentle but always to the heart. Has Russell always been like this? No, he enjoyed the love that was only his, and he was a happy child. There’s a line in the movie that’s so poignant, “You may sound bored, but this is my favorite thing to do.”
This favorite thing to do is just to stay with my father and count the traffic. Along the way, Chubby seems to be very annoying, talkative and always like to cause trouble. But you can’t find a better partner than Fat, who is kind and simple and knows how to love others. Fat will take care of Big Bird when he is alone, and he will build a tent for Carl that he is not capable of.
Carl’s idol, Charles is a shrewd explorer, but if you had to choose between him and Chubby, would you choose Charles? Well, at least Carl chose Chubby Rowe. Russell’s presence made me wonder whether the movie was about adventure and love or kindness.
Disney is always in front of me to cheer for the plot, and even difficult to extricate themselves, in the back and give me a let me difficult to choose hidden in the knife warmth.
The classic stills of “Up” are probably the house tethered with balloons flying in the sky, and this classic picture has been the wallpaper or avatar of many people. More than ten years have passed, when I rewatch this film again, I still do not feel that it has anything out of place with this era, which is probably the so-called classic.
Maybe different people have different interpretations and different feelings about this movie, but for me, “learning to love someone for a lifetime is a cool thing” is the biggest feeling after watching it several times. The most memorable part of the film, I guess, is the love between Carl and Ellie, who have always understood each other.
Like a person is never a difficult thing, perhaps a chance encounter, a look is enough to make your heart beat faster, to produce you can not say clear feelings for him. But what about liking someone all the time? Will he even miss him after he left him, remember his dream, and help him to achieve it?
I remember when we first met, Ellie’s outgoing, Carl’s shy. Ellie took off the badge made of a grape soda bottle cap, and Carl let go of his fear and unease. The secret of two people in the light, Ellie’s mouth with a tooth missing always made Carl swear. The balloon floating out the window and Ellie’s heartfelt, passionate “I like you.”
The love between us may be an accident, like adventures, and most adventures are accidental, but the love will always be there until we have both walked through this life, like explorers out of the desert or the forest.
