I've watched “Wreck it Ralph”
recently and I've got to say that I totally love this film. You can
feel connection to characters and the story has some twists – this
already place this movie beyond average, but let's look at it closer.
It's story takes place in the world of
game arcades and the main character – Ralph is the bad guy in one
of the games. I think he has some kind of middle age crisis, because
the game celebrated it's 30th anniversary and poor Ralph
still live on the dumpster and receives absolutely no appreciation of
his work – wrecking the building.
At some point, after a couple shots in
the bar he decided to change his life by getting the hero gold medal.
It's hard for bad guy to get one. Well actually impossible, but today
sponsor of the but cliche is Nike – “impossible is nothing”.
Pursuing the dream it is important to
to remember the saying “fear the moment when your dreams came
true”, because you can't think about all the consequences and
winning your dream will probably fail something else, maybe even
important for you.
During his quest for gold medal and
appreciation Ralph met quite little glitch girl – Vanellopee von
Shweetz in the world of another game. This girl wanted to take part
in the race competition and she took Ralph's gold medal as her enter
pass. Ralph was against these actions but Vanellopee was quicker, and
to be honest, our bad guy hasn't got the medal in the right way, he
stole it from another game.
But for some reason everybody in the
race game world are against the glitch girl taking part in the
competition and Ralph decides to help her win, because in that case
the Vanellopee promised to give the gold medal him back.
At this
point I probably stop talking about the story specifically, but lets
talk about it in general. When I tried to remember animated movies
about good bad guys two films came to mind – Megamind and
Despicable Me. I've watched
and quite enjoyed all of them. In all that stream of superhero movies
even shifting focus from hero to the villian make movie more original
and opens some space for new jokes and old jokes from new angle.
Also I'd like to say a
few words about voise actors. John C. Reilly and Sarah Silverman as
Ralph and Venellope done a grate job. Other actors also fitt well, as
I sad before - you definettly can connect to the caracters and that
is possible mostely thanks to actors.
Animation looks great
and alltogether movie looks wonderfull. I totally enjoyed watching it
and maybe some day i will rewatch it.
