French classic comics

In my impression, this animation was seen in primary school, but I remember that when I saw it, its name was "Three Sisters in Kerry Village", which was a classic in my impression.

Animation, especially it doesn't have a dialogue from beginning to end, but it makes people understand its content and there are few problems in understanding, which impressed me very much. Recommended to see!

This is a French cartoon. In the era when three-dimensional animation is popular in America, people may think that traditional animation has disappeared, and it has lost its charm. A new era has arrived. However, after watching this movie, I think you will change this idea. Traditional animation is still charming, and he is still the best spokesman for that kind of infinite imagination. The three sisters in beautiful countryside use traditional painting techniques, exaggerated modeling and detailed pictures to make the film very appealing. I remember one of the pictures, a dog lying on the ground, and then there were black spots moving on his face, and the moving route was very strange. At first, I didn't understand what it was, which was very strange. Later, as soon as the camera turned, I realized that it was raining outside, and raindrops rolled down the window, reflecting a shadow on the dog's face.

brief introduction

I lost my parents' champion and lived with my mother-in-law since childhood.

Every day, I am unhappy and miserable, and I talk to Bruno, a loyal dog, every day. When you are free, accompany your mother-in-law to reminisce about the old things in the ancient doll box and enjoy the wonderful performances of three beautiful women.

The only thing that fascinates the little champion is a bicycle with only two wheels. As soon as he got on the bike, he was alive and kicking. Mother-in-law had a brainwave and decided to do what she liked, carefully tailoring and training, so that she would participate in the Tour de France in Europe in the future.

The day was very successful, and the champion was trained by a little fat man to be a fine steel-type athlete. However, the traitor was in power. In order to control the result, the French mafia even tried to stop the popular champion from playing a vicious plot and sent two men in black to kidnap him.

Mother-in-law and paparazzi Bruno came to a championship rescue operation. When they met a trio of beautiful women who were once loved by everyone in the car and saw their car, the beautiful women in Fanghua karaoke bars who had been washed white and turned into advanced English bands were still indignant and stretched out their necks. Three mothers-in-law buried six knives and joined the rescue operation together to fight against the mafia.

In the search for the light to break the spell, Kennai met Koda the bear, and this lonely little thing stuck to Kennai. In the process of constant running-in, Kennai and Koda have developed feelings beyond brothers, especially when they are constantly being chased by their human brothers, Kennai finally realizes his mistakes. ...

[behind-the-scenes creation]

Belleville in Crazy Dating Beautiful City is not named as the United States, but from some clues in the film, it is not difficult for the audience to find that belleville alludes to the United States. When Champion's grandmother came to the' Beautiful Capital' by boat, there was a statue similar to the Statue of Liberty on the dock. The gangster took a photo as a souvenir, and the background was "Holly Food" written on the mountain, which was an allusion to Hollywood. The Statue of Liberty and Hollywood are both cultural symbols of American exports. In other words, the life of "this beautiful city" in the animation is the American society in sylvain chomet's eyes.

Many people in' this beautiful city' are chubby, and one of the passers-by wears an' I Big' T-shirt, which is actually imitating the' I NY' T-shirt worn by Americans. On the one hand, the fat people in the "beautiful city" reflect that many Americans are fat in sylvain chomet's eyes; On the other hand, the addition of "I am big" reminds us of michael moore's satire "Everything is bigger" on American society, pointing directly at the self-expansion of Americans. "Crazy" in the Chinese translation can be said to be sylvain chomet's impression of American society. In the film, when the' beautiful trio' catches frogs for dinner, they throw a Grenade and blow them into the air. The author thinks this narcissism is a kind of black humor, satirizing the American way of doing things full of violence. On the other hand, although the gangsters in the animation are from France, their black suits are reminiscent of gangsters in American movies (such as Some Like It Hot) and special police (such as Men in Black). No matter which prototype sylvain chomet uses, it can produce an effect of satirizing beauty by borrowing French. The gangsters in the animation advocate violence and solve everything by force. For example, shooting a cyclist who can't finish the race in an underground casino is an act of "objectifying" people, which is also ironic for the United States.

Hollywood movies always portray domestic people as heroes and foreigners, especially Asians, as villains and terrorists, full of American chauvinism. Although sylvain chomet, the director of Crazy Dating Beautiful Capital, is French, this animation is not full of French chauvinism. On the contrary, the leader of the villain gang in the animation is French, which is obviously different from many Hollywood commercial films in the United States that portray the natives as inevitable decency. On the other hand, women in Hollywood movies are often marginalized or reduced to vases, and their main' function' is to satisfy men. For example, Marilyn Monroe plays a stupid blonde. "Crazy Dating this beautiful city" is aimed at this gender orientation of American culture. The protagonists in the film are the champion's mother-in-law and the "this beautiful city trio", which are American female images from 1930 to 1940, but they are not vases and occupy an active role in the film. The author thinks that this is a satire on the patriarchal ideology of Hollywood movies through the appearance of American culture.

[creative technique]

In terms of creative techniques, Crazy Dating Beautiful City is also very different from mainstream American animation. In Disney and Warner animation, most of them (except Finding Nemo) deliberately create a beautiful fantasy world from the beginning. Crazy dating, beautiful city is a bit like Finding Nemo. From the beginning, it created an unsatisfactory environment: Finding Nemo's mother died long ago, and she was born with a defect and a fin was not well developed; The champion in "Crazy Dating Beautiful City" lost his parents and he was autistic. His grandmother, who lives alone with him, has long legs, and his dog Bruno is an "abandoned baby". The opening of "Crazy Dating Beautiful City" creates a world that is not suitable for children, which is different from the "purified" world of most American animations. On the other hand, American animation, while striving for a sense of vision and attracting audiences through 3D animation, Crazy Dating Beautiful Capital does the opposite, drawing characters with simple lines, and there is very little dialogue in the whole film, as if to explain to the audience that in addition to a large number of exported American culture, the audience can have other choices.
