Up: Everyone is an adventurer in life

The animated films produced by Pixar Studios every year are popular for Oscar awards. "Up" is the studio's tenth film. It was released in the United States on May 29, 2009 and won the 82nd Academy Award in 2010.

It is now 2020, 11 years since this movie was released. But looking at this old film from today's perspective, personally, it is not outdated.

The film begins with the story of the protagonist Carl, who was very interested in adventure when he was a child, and his idol was a man named Charles. Monz's adventurer (who is also the villain of the film), after watching a movie about idols in the cinema, passed an abandoned cabin on the road and met a tomboy named Ally and became a playmate.

Several years later, the two children grew up and got married. And they also transformed the cabin they knew back then into a new house.

Due to Aili's health, the two did not have children after their marriage, but this did not affect the relationship between the couple. The two were still sweet and affectionate even when they were old.

When Ellie was a child, she had a dream to go to Paradise Falls, but she was never able to realize this dream until her death. But Ellie doesn't think this is a pity. Why? You will know after reading this article.

Carl once had the opportunity to make this dream come true when he was old. He bought a plane ticket and prepared for the two of them to fly there. However, when he planned to give Ally this surprise, Ally failed in front of Karl due to physical reasons. fell down. So this also became Karl's regret.

The emotional experience between Carl and Ally can be said to be one of the highlights of this film. The audience were all moved by it after watching it. After all, isn't this just sketching for the public? Of course, some people say that Carl didn't love Ally, and he couldn't realize Ally's dream of going to Paradise Falls before he died. Regarding this point, I don’t think it’s Carl’s fault. How can everything in life go as planned? When they were young and busy making a living, they probably didn’t take this dream to heart and didn’t think about it until they were old. But Carl I had already bought the plane ticket, but unfortunately, Ellie collapsed. This can only be said to be God’s will. How could we just blame Karl for the mistake.

After Allie passed away, Carl was left alone. Because he did not want to go to a nursing home, Carl still lived in the cabin he and Allie renovated. Due to the demolition and renovation of the land where they lived, Carl refused to sell the cabin and became a thorn. household.

One day the demolition team accidentally broke the mailbox in front of Carl's house. This mailbox was specially made by Ali and Carl during his lifetime. Of course Carl was very angry about this, so he was arguing with the demolition team. During a dispute, two people accidentally injured each other. Therefore, they were judged as dangerous persons and had to go to a nursing home. They were not allowed to live alone in this house anymore.

The night before the staff of the nursing home came to receive him, Carl picked up Ally's homemade "My Adventure Book" and saw the dream of Paradise Falls again. He thought about the demolition after he went to the nursing home. The team would come and demolish the house, so he came up with the idea of ??using balloons to make the house fly.

In just one night, this 78-year-old man actually made so many balloons. After fooling the nursing home staff who came to receive him the next morning, he made the house fly and started chasing Ellie. Dream flying house trip.

On this flying house, in addition to Carl, there is another protagonist in this play, Russell Luo Xiaopang (hereinafter referred to as "Ronald"), a guy who talks and thinks all day long. Become a little adventurer on the senior expedition team. At first, before the house took off, Ronaldinho came to Carl just to help him do something to get the explorer badge for helping the old man. Carl found him annoying and found something to send him off. Unexpectedly, this little guy would actually get along with him. This house takes off and travels together.

On the way to Paradise Falls with Ronaldinho, they encountered a storm. However, the lucky two people accidentally drifted not far from Paradise Falls in such bad weather conditions. of the cliff edge.

The dream is about to be realized before their eyes, so Carl and Ronaldinho stepped up their steps and set off in the direction of their dream goal.

Along the way they met the big bird Kevin and the talking dog Doudou. This is where the journey story begins.

When Kevin, Ronaldinho and Doudou were preparing to go to Paradise Falls, who knew that Big Bird actually left the team first and ran away. At this time, three evil dogs that could also talk came to Kevin and Ronaldinho through Doudou's GPS positioning (Doudou's actual mission was to capture the big bird), blocked their way, and took them away. Meet the so-called "master".

After arriving at the destination of the vicious dogs, they found that there were so many dogs here. When the owners of these dogs appeared, what surprised Carl was that he turned out to be his childhood idol, Charles Muntz. This made him ecstatic.

Dog Pack

It turns out that Montz really came to Paradise Falls to seek the real Big Bird as described in the film, in order to clear himself of the crime of forgery.

However, this childhood idol was actually a narrow-minded and possessive person. After hearing Ronaldinho mention that he had met Big Bird Kevin, he actually wanted to kill someone and silence him.

When Carl discovered this situation and also discovered that Kevin was still on the flying house, he quickly took Ronaldinho and the puppy Doudou to escape. However, Kevin was injured during the escape and was eventually captured.

Before Montz captured Kevin, he set fire to Carl and Ellie's cabin. Carl also wanted to protect the cabin, which gave Montz the opportunity to take advantage of it. After putting out the fire, Carl was very angry and drove away Doudou. He didn't want to care about Kevin's affairs. He took his flying house to Paradise Falls alone, while Ronaldinho just followed listlessly.

After arriving at Paradise Falls and setting up the flying house, Carl sat on a leisure chair, opened Ally's adventure book, and flipped through the photos of his life with Ally.

When he turned to the last few pages, he saw this passage written by Ally: Thanks for the adventure, now go have a new one! At this time, he had already understood in his heart.

This is also what I said before. It is not important to Ellie whether she can reach Paradise Falls. She will not feel regretful if she cannot reach it. The most important thing is to walk through life hand in hand with the one she loves. Life is a big adventure. No one knows what they will encounter when they take the next step, but as long as they have the courage to take risks, there is nothing to be afraid of.

Not abandoning Kevin, Carl decided to fulfill his previous agreement with Ronaldinho and embark on a new adventure again.

But when he walked out of the house, he found that Ronaldinho was already one step ahead of him and went on his own. At this time, Karl, in order to catch up with Ronaldinho, activated the flying house again. But there were too many things in the flying house, so he threw out the old things one by one. It also includes the piggy bank that I had with Ellie. He didn't feel distressed when he threw it out, but instead felt a sense of excitement after relief. This is the understanding that life should have. Some things only belong to a certain period of time. They should be discarded when they should be discarded. People cannot only live in the memory of the past.

Landing on the villain Monz’s airship, after a fight, Carl won and successfully rescued Big Bird Kevin. Here’s a small rant about the screenwriter. At the beginning of the movie, old Carl was very unlucky with his hands and feet, but later in the movie, when he was fighting on the Monz airship, he was like a different person, and his skills were not inferior to those of the young people. This is Did the legendary small universe explode?

At the end of the film, after sending away Big Bird Kevin, Ronaldinho returns to school. At the award ceremony for the little explorer, other students had their fathers accompanying them and wearing award badges, but Ronaldinho's father did not show up in the end. When it was Ronaldinho's turn to award the award, Carl appeared and gave him the award. He brought the Allie badge that Allie had given him when he first met Allie - this was the highest honor for helping the elderly.

After the award ceremony, Carl and Ronaldinho lived a new life together. The two were on the roadside, Carl eating butter shortbread-flavored ice cream, and Ronaldinho eating chocolate-flavored ice cream. The two counted the red and blue cars to each other, and whoever counted the most won. This was Ronaldinho's favorite thing to do with his father in the past, but now the role has been changed to Karl. In the eyes of others, this matter is quite boring, but in fact, whether you are a child or an adult, as long as you think it is a meaningful thing in your heart, you don't need to care about other people's opinions. Boring things are the most unforgettable.

In the past, his father was always busy, which made Ronaldinho always feel lonely. But not anymore, because with Carl, Ronaldinho is no longer a lonely explorer!

If traveling and taking risks is to encounter wonderful scenery, then meeting and staying with the people you want to see is the most beautiful adventure in life.

On the way forward, let us spread our wings and fly high!
