A group of villains from Orlando wanted to own Queen Elizabeth's crown and the royal power when they arrived in England. This hegemonic logic can only be made up by the United States.The United States does not pay attention to Britain, ridicules Britain's longest serving queen, even puts her in a small bar. the film makes a mockery of the British's rigid office life and dogmatic afternoon tea.The joke seems to have gone too far.
The course of Xiaohuang people's survival is actually a process of seeking hegemony.Therefore, no matter which villain Xiaohuang followed in the end, in the film's strong American style power style, eventually its backers return to the United States itself.It is the cultural hegemony of the United States that makes Xiaohuang people export to the whole world, isn't it?
The whole film is like a carnival, but after the carnival, there is no special emotion left.For example, in despicable me, the world's most despicable villain (Gru) can actually have a very kind heart. This huge emotional impact disappears in the little yellow man movies.Villains are evil and the people are numb. Besides the group sprouting effect, Xiaohuang people seem to have nothing to say.
Of course, the film is not worthless in emotional mining.For example, Kevin's protection and kissing of his companions after he grew up, and Xiao Huang's sadness that people thought Kevin was dead made us see a rare description of the emotional maintenance between Xiaohuang people.In fact, we have always wanted to know something about the little yellow people except cat and mouse action.Unfortunately, the film does not revolve around these things, but as ingredients in the ingredients.
Kevin has grown up, the little yellow man has become a giant yellow man, which I think is the most important plot in the film.Because the Survival Logic of Xiaohuang people is that they are small, they look very weak, need protection, and need to rely on the strong, so they keep looking for strong creatures to support them.They regard themselves as dependants and helpers, even with a little servility.Kevin, who has become a giant, has the physical advantages that Xiao Huang people dream of. He is no longer weak. He can protect himself and his group.He also completely broke the Survival Logic of Xiaohuang.
Unfortunately, the film's description of Kevin, a yellow man's heroic dream, is very shallow.He suddenly has the ability, can't he have any "irreconcilable desire", for example, he wants to be the ultimate villain. These ideas are beyond the imagination of Xiaohuang people.
The most important thing is that the solution of the ultimate difficulty should not be completed by the giant yellow man, but by Kevin who returns from the yellow man to the weak and helpless little yellow man. Only in this way can we realize that the ultimate strength is not the strength of appearance, but the courage and wisdom of the mind. A small body can also complete the ultimate task. Relying on strength is better than relying on oneself.
Therefore, the way of self rescue of Xiaohuang group began with Kevin's departure and ended with the outbreak of giant Kevin.In the end, they have to return to the old way of relying on strength.Of course, maybe this is what Xiaohuang people are really used to.
In a word, as the forerunner or forerunner of despicable me series, minions abandons emotion and is just a carnival of the weak under the logic of hegemony.
