Painting style
Director Buxifan is good at animation aesthetics. His consistent works tend to be oriental Chinese style, while The Great Protector inherits the "Chinese ink style" of his previous works, with simple style, bright colors and long artistic conception.
A good animation work, the style of painting can directly determine the quality of its work, which is also the selling point of the ink painting style of the Great Protector. Although the details are lacking, the overall charm, color tone and aesthetic feeling can basically gain a wave of "girl heart".
reform
Film classification has always been the biggest voice of people in the domestic film industry, and the innovative viewpoint of PG- 13, which was independently classified for the first time in the Great Protector, really made us shine. Adult animation is used to remind parents not to take their children to the movies during film promotion.
There are many bloody movies, but there are few animations, especially domestic animations, which are outstanding. Uncle Bin thinks this is a great progress. On the one hand, it is a miracle that such a bold attempt can be tried in China. On the other hand, animation is no longer a patent for children, and we adults also need it. We can watch violent and visually shocking animated films. Isn't this commendable?
behaviour
The whole animation is not simply telling a story, but fighting and solving problems by force. The battle scene is divided into at least half battles, and it is nothing to break hands and feet. Decapitation is the key scene.
The decisive battle between the red fat man and the killer is even more wonderful to the climax. There is a line in the film that goes something like this: "Only an opponent can become a bosom friend, but it is a pity that he is invincible."
story
Is it right or wrong to fight violence with violence?
This proposition will appear in common movies. The protagonist was killed, the society was indifferent, and the system was unbalanced. They embarked on the moral road of fighting violence with violence. Almost all hero movies have this setting.
Right? What's the use of law?
Is there something wrong? The reality is always that the strong eat the weak. Can the law protect the weak?
Just like this animation of the Great Protector.
The weak are always bullied by the strong. All peanut people in Peanut Town were deceived, oppressed and killed by Lao Ji Manchu. They lost themselves and lived in a state of fear that everyone was in danger. Maybe their next death will be themselves. Peanut man was blinded by lies, even when he slaughtered his companions, he was indifferent. Indifference may be a great weapon for their self-harm.
I lost my independent thoughts and self-awareness. I volunteered to put on my fake eyes and mouth just to be like others, but I chose to keep my mouth shut. You can stand up for your partner, but choose numbness. The typical spectator culture has always been a feature in China, which is to join in the fun and watch the fun. Perhaps it is more appropriate to say that "each person sweeps his own snow and leaves others alone".
Seeing that behind the scenes, the same kind betrayed each other, I was really surprised at the boldness of this story, the depth of metaphor, and the trapped animals, which all ended up like this and eventually became the one they hated most.
