When it comes to the Spring Festival, the first thing that people think of is the annoying Spring Festival travel. Travelers from all over the world go home together, blocking the traffic without hesitation, just for the annual reunion. However, what is New Year? What is the meaning of the year? It seems that these things are gradually forgotten by us.
Because of this, many people will complain that the Spring Festival is really no flavor, and the Spring Festival is becoming more and more boring. In fact, for ordinary people, the Spring Festival is about eating and drinking. Even if it is more advanced, the Spring Festival is just about playing. If it is more elegant, it is about family reunion and family happiness. But these are superficial meanings. What is the real meaning of the Spring Festival?
There are many legends about Nian, but all of them have the same meaning. That is, Nian is a fierce beast. Every New Year's Eve, people will appear to eat people. Therefore, New Year's Eve, that is, the New Year's Eve beast. Fortunately, although the beast is ferocious, this guy is afraid of red and firecrackers. So every New Year's Eve, thousands of families put on lanterns and decorations, stay up all night, and set off firecrackers, in order to drive away the beast, keep the family safe, and let the family be free from evil trouble throughout the year.
However, although the film "Battle of Nian Beast" takes the legend of Nian Beast, the story has nothing to do with the legend. Instead, it tells the story that in modern times, the beast Nian, who was tired of celebrating the Spring Festival, finally understood the true meaning of celebrating the Spring Festival through the process of turning enemies into friends with a little girl.
In the film, Nian Yu and his little partner belong to the "Oriental Company", which is a company that aims to collect "happiness". The happiness of the world will turn into a sphere and be collected by them. This actually fits in with today's social environment - living standards have improved in recent years, but people's happiness index seems to decline rather than rise. In the film, Dongfang Company only completed 70% The performance is getting worse and worse.
Seeing here, it is obvious that the movie is going the way of Monster Company. Dongfang Company collects happiness, while Monster Company collects fear and uses fear to generate electricity. The performance of both companies is getting worse and worse, which leads to this story. Even the size of Nian beast is similar to that of Maoguai - the difference is that Maoguai has Maonian beast but no hair. Maoguai has two horns and Nian beast has one horn. As for their abilities, they come down in the same line, all of them are to frighten people! So that people can not help but suspect that the western company in the movie is the monster company.
And the following story is a bit like that of the Brains. The little girl in the movie, like the lonely little girl in the brain secret service team, was rejected and hated by her classmates, and could not be integrated into the class. In addition, the work of her father and grandmother made her feel particularly inferior. The whole person was controlled by such emotions as disgust, worry, fear and anger. However, with the help of Nian beast, she finally bravely demonstrated her strengths. Finally, she not only found the Spring Festival with Nian beast, but also welcomed back the warmth and happiness of the family.
Therefore, Ning Hao's film, starting from the traditional customs of our country, tells the warm heart theme of what the Spring Festival is really about in the form of monster companies and even the Brain Secret Service, and finally conveys positive energy through moving plots, so that young friends not only understand why they celebrate the Spring Festival, but also whip the social ethos of hating the poor and loving the rich, Let the little friends know that everyone is equal, whether rich or poor.
Finally, of course, it's still Sister Pig~~
