The film - which was written by Bob Peterson (Finding Nemo, Ratatouille) and directed by Peter Docter (Monsters, Inc.) - delivers all the things we’ve come to expect from a Pixar animated feature: gorgeous visuals, a strong story rife with moral lessons and (gasp) good character development; humor both low-brow (for the kids) and high-brow (for the grownups), with strokes of bold wit and a dash of sagely wisdom for good measure.
And yet, UP also delivers something quite unexpected: Pixar’s most adult-oriented story yet, slyly disguised in a fantastic adventure tale.
UP tells the life story of Carl Fredricksen (the unmistakable voice of Ed Asner), a shy little boy who grows up in (1930s?) America, an era in which people pack into movie theaters to watch news reels about adventurous explorers like Charles Muntz, who travels the world on one epic quest after the next.
Young Carl Fredricksen idolizes Muntz: He spends his lonely days roaming his neighborhood pretending to be Muntz until one day he runs into Ellie, an energetic and fearless young girl (everything Carl is not) who idolizes Charles Muntz just as much as Carl does. Ellie and Carl cross their hearts then and there and swear to be great adventurers like Charles Muntz, and with that oath, theirs is a match made in heaven.
After that fateful first encounter, we get a truly beautiful montage of Carl and Ellie’s life-long romance. We see the young kids grow into a teenage couple; see them get married and buy a house, working day jobs (balloon vendor) while saving up for the kind of adventures they fantasized about as kids. We watch the couple deal with the ups and downs, joys and tragedies of life; and gradually we watch them grow into old age, Ellie’s “My Adventures” scrapbook still unfilled, even as her time on Earth ends.
With Ellie gone, Carl becomes a disgruntled old man desperately trying to hold on to a house, heirlooms and a lost-love he cherishes. A physical confrontation with neighborhood developers leads to Carl being forced into a retirement home for the rest of his days - but before the old man will give in he decides to honor the oath he and Ellie swore as kids and take one last shot at adventure! Carl ties an impossible number of balloons to his house (working a balloon cart at the zoo was his job for many years), rigs a steering system and UP he goes!
執(zhí)著,信任,希望和愛,是皮克斯電影里永恒的主題,它們并不是要告訴人們這些理念有多么偉大,而是讓觀眾隨著主人公們的經(jīng)歷一起重新理解這些被過分濫用甚至扭曲,但卻無時(shí)無刻不在左右我們生活的人性。這份真誠,不會(huì)讓人失望的。
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

美國影片與中國影片最大的不同就是從不說教,但卻會(huì)讓你感動(dòng),感悟,會(huì)人性,對(duì)人生,對(duì)生活,乃至對(duì)世界的大的價(jià)值觀有一種正確的認(rèn)同。正義,環(huán)保,以及愛情和感情,總是在影片中一點(diǎn)一滴的讓你接受。反觀我們的影片,總是以一種愚蠢的高高在上的姿態(tài),告訴我們,該怎樣,不該怎樣,特別是總是要把愛黨、愛國、愛人民掛在嘴上,這不但收不到效果,反而更讓人反感。刨除社會(huì)意識(shí)形態(tài),世界各國人民大的價(jià)值觀是趨同的,都是向往民主democracy、自由、正義、和平。不得不承認(rèn),西方文化對(duì)這方面研究運(yùn)用的很嫻熟consummate,他們注重細(xì)節(jié),通過細(xì)節(jié)來潛移默化be imperceptibly influenced by的傳遞出自己的價(jià)值觀,而且讓你不由自主的接受這種價(jià)值觀!讹w屋環(huán)游記》里的每一個(gè)場景,每個(gè)對(duì)白都是那么精心,那么認(rèn)真。男主人公自己獨(dú)居后,所住的房子成了房地產(chǎn)開發(fā)商眼中的釘子戶,開發(fā)商特意設(shè)計(jì)成穿著黑西服Western-style clothes,看不到眼睛的黑勢力形象的人物,開發(fā)商手下的人不得不想辦法讓老人搬走,但卻設(shè)計(jì)的很溫情,同情老人,而且還變相的幫助老人。這樣的場景影片中很多,看起來那么溫情,真實(shí)。
每個(gè)人都有夢想,影片的主線就是實(shí)現(xiàn)夢想,并由夢想清醒過來,維護(hù)正義的一個(gè)過程的展示?雌饋砜捎H,愉悅,溫情。但在片中我看到了人性的良善,看到了成長,看到了正義戰(zhàn)勝邪惡。這些就夠了,呵呵,有機(jī)會(huì)朋友們也看看吧,別以為只不過是一部動(dòng)畫片,我相信你也會(huì)被感動(dòng)的。
