This group of Minions came back with a brilliant record of breaking the 400 million box office mark in three days.
Since the first "Despicable Me" was released, this group of stupid and lovely wannabe has captured people's attention. So where did these yellow unidentified objects come from?
The official explanation is:
In the series "Despicable Me", Minions is a capsule-like creature composed of two cups of banana puree, mutant DNA and fatty acids by Gru and Dr Navalio.
In Minions's autobiography Minions with Big Eyes, Minions is a single-celled organism that evolved hundreds of millions of years ago, and the history of Minions can be traced back to the dinosaur period at least.
But no matter what the origin is, these saccular yellow creatures, with short arms and legs, wearing suspenders and glasses, were born to follow the worst people in the world. Listening to what they say that we don't understand, they are eager to help the master do all the bad things, but they are always clumsy and busy, so our hearts are captured by these little things.
And you know, at the beginning, Minions's image was not like this.
Minions's biological father was designed by Eric Gyllen, the great god of lighting and entertainment. And you can't believe his original design.
Can't believe your eyes now? I didn't expect the first generation to have such a slave image. So, do you really know Minions?
Why is Minions Minions? Why not choose another color?
Yellow is a common color in traditional cartoon images, so there is a complementary color problem here.
Complementary colors refer to two colors that complement each other on the color wheel. In animated films, blue is widely used to create dreamy and beautiful scenes. Yellow is the complementary color of blue. Using the complementary color of yellow can make the audience get more comfortable visual enjoyment.
Minions' blue jeans collar sling also applies to this principle.
Yellow is also a very eye-catching role.
There is a very professional explanation in an online article about the color of Minions:
These professional data may be too boring to understand. Just think that we use a lot of yellow characters in our lives, and we can understand a thing or two.
In addition, yellow is a warm and energetic color, and it is also the most positive color. Compared with dangerous red, yellow is slightly soft and warm.
This may be part of the reason why designers finally chose yellow.
Another deep impression that Minions left me was the language I didn't understand. Minions has its own language system. From these Minions movies, we can hear that the language of Minions is a mixture of Chinese, French, English, Japanese, Spanish and Italian.
From this, we can also see the ambitions of designers and directors when designing slave images at the beginning. Starting from the language, it seems that people all over the world can't understand what Minions is saying, but because they can hear one or two sentences of their own country's language in Minions's language, they feel very cordial.
The meaningless bananas in Minions also make people break away from the daily complicated human society. We don't need to understand the meaning of every word of others, just simply follow happiness. What precious time.
There are many slaves, collectively referred to as slaves, but in fact each slave is unique. Ten Minions have been sorted out on the Internet.
You see, slaves, like us humans, seem to be different, but in fact they are different.
This group of noisy, silly, cheap and lovely technical houses are easy to satisfy, love to enjoy, listen to their masters, be helpful and unite as one. What attracts us most is Minions's clumsy ability to always make trouble and the characteristic that neither bad nor bad is love.
In the series "minions", as soon as they set foot on the earth, they began to look for the worst people on the earth as their masters, and the ultimate demise of many masters in "minions" was mostly related to minions.
The minions turned to follow Tyrannosaurus Rex after the ichthyosaur was trampled to death, but Tyrannosaurus Rex fell into the volcano because of the minions. Primitive people were finally eaten by bears, Egyptian pharaohs were crushed to death by pyramids, vampires died at birthday parties held by minions, and Napoléon Bonaparte was directly bombarded to death by minions. The Arctic Snowman was killed by a big ice block, and the reason why the ice fell was Minions's large size.
Besides, we look at what Minions has done, just like watching a group of children under the age of three. Destructive Superman, but cute. Kid.
This passage can almost be used to describe this group of slaves. They are as simple and beautiful as those children.
Optimistic and strong
Minions is as optimistic and strong as its color. In every movie, Minions will inevitably encounter all kinds of unlucky situations, and we are often made to laugh by this setting. And Minions can always find beauty in bad things. Always positive, always enthusiastic.
In the latest "Despicable Me", there is a passage in which Minions is chased by security guards. That's it. Minions can still perform happily for the audience after he mistakenly entered the stage. I think, although Minions has fallen into the endless abyss, he can count the stars in the sky and sing.
And the only thing that can make minions sad and lose the joy of life is to leave his master. This is also the second point that Minions taught us.
Brave and loyal
The tragic scene after Minions lost his master appeared in the film more than once. Decadence in the ice cave, emptiness in the prison, frustration in the heavy rain, at this time, the minions seem to be abandoned by their parents, sad and helpless.
Maybe it was an accident or a quarrel, but whatever the reason, Minions's final choice will be to return to his master and never change.
After returning to their masters, these little people who once seemed to have lost the meaning of life began to be filled with chicken blood. They can sacrifice everything for their master's plan. Stealing the moon is an unreliable dream in the eyes of others, but there is always such a group of people who support unconditionally and always fight with you.
When Gru was taken away by female agents, the minions did not hesitate to put down their work and shouted for the boss to catch up. The master didn't come back, so they chose to wait, wait and rescue. As long as it is for the master, they are infinitely brave.
Always curious, always love.
From the moment they set foot on the earth, Minions seems to have been full of curiosity and love. From the very beginning, I found a banana and loved it all my life. At the end, I remained curious and passionate about everything in human society.
Always willing to try new things. This point is also highlighted in the modeling of Minions. They dress up as cleaners, housewives, firefighters and tennis players. After all, the shape is changeable, which also makes the audience feel refreshed.
Not bad is love.
Although minions are bent on following the worst people in the world, they want to be a bad person. But their hearts are kind. For Gru's three daughters, it is the ultimate concern, especially the youngest daughter Agnes.
The sharp contrast between inside and outside better highlights the tender part of the film. At this time, the little yellow man really played the role of yellow to warm people's hearts, everyone in the film and us in the dark cinema.
Both directors of the Minions series like old-fashioned cartoons very much, and they like silly and funny ways. So they moderately changed the animation of children's farce to satisfy the appetite of all kinds of viewers.
Minions's ugly and stupid image, as expected by directors and designers, instantly swept the world.
However, while "Thief Dad 3" swept the global box office wildly, it also encountered many doubts: I was at my wit's end, and Jiang Lang was at my wit's end. I forced a sequel, which was occasionally good-looking and ugly as a whole.
However, amid all kinds of doubts, we still can't ignore that they have indeed brought us some joy and some enlightenment.
Not only life, but also when we watch movies.
But Agnes still likes this goat very much. She thinks it is the most beautiful, best and cutest goat in the world.
