The other day, I was taken away by a movie that isn’t anime.
Holy Shit, right Ana? (Fifty shades of grey joke!) What movie? Wreck it Ralph!
Yes, believe it or not, Disney has actually touched my heart like it used to do
all the time when it was cool to be a kid! I took the movie personally because
I always had a weakness with video games. However before we jump into anything
big about this movie. There was a small part in the movie that grabbed my
attention right away was that it shown a girl, A GIRL playing video games! Not
a little boy, a nerdy looking girl! Which to me was just awesome and hell they
even shown small hints on the ways some gamer guys treat girls that play videos.
And if you don’t know it’s not very nice! If you are a gamer girl, you know the
bullshit you get from guys. (Not saying all guys but I come across some jerks
treating me like idiot because of my gender!) The girl picks the most ‘violent
and scary’ game in the place first. (From what we can tell) So, right away I liked her and I don’t
even know her name! I’m glad Disney shown that there are girls out there that
love video games just has much as any gamer boy and maybe even more. Thank you,
Disney. The girls are not getting much love lately…even DS is making girls look
bad with the whole “I’m not a gamer but with the DS” Bullshit but I’m getting
ahead of myself again…. Wreck it Ralph!
Anyhow. The movie gives you an almost toy story feel to it
with the whole when everyone is away, everything comes to life! Which, I can’
help but like for some unknown reason. They put a lot of thought and feel to
the animation and characters. Oh my dear, the characters are just awesome! I
really love all of them, even the little brats in the sugar rush game.
Ralph takes the cake in the most moving character in the
movie. It shows a lot of grey with the villains in the video game world and
made my heartbreak seeing how lonely and unloved they are. I cannot blame, the main character for
wanting to be loved and his search to be the hero instead. Don’t we all? However,
he becomes not only the hero but also a big brother to a poor misunderstood
“Glitch” named Vanellope.
Now, Vanellope is a sissy young lady who has such a great
sense a humor but behind that “happy face” she’s hurting a lot from everyone bulling
her and making her feel worthless. She holds onto her goal, her dream I should
say to race with the other video game characters in the game. The simple dream,
that is so far away from her reach. Heartbreaking, I know. Ralph and Vanellope
built such a sweet relationship that makes you want to cry.
Fix-It Felix, Jr. the hero, good guy in the game Fix-It
Felix, is such a nice guy. However, since he never deal with any real
heartache. He is painfully native with Ralph’s feelings and just wants to keep the
peace with everyone. A part of me
wishes that I can dislike this character but I can’t!!!! He has this charming
old fashion way about him that I end up smiling about. You got to love his
keep-it-clean-way of speaking with the other characters. I feel like he come
out from a 50s television shows. He is just a cute character! How can anyone
not like a cute character?! Seriously, how!?! “I can fix it!” Damn, right you
can. haha
Now, let’s drop the cuteness and take a look to the compete opposite
of Felix, Sergeant Calhoun. This
video game character is from the scary game called Hero’s Duty. (Hah, get it?)
She is a really tough and doesn’t mess around at all. She’s all about action,
which makes sense since she’s from a video game all about actions!
The lovely thing about this movie it’s the message I gotten
from it. The titles don’t make you who you really are. “You bad guy but you’re
not bad guy.” “Come on, that’s not
me, this is me.” I don’t want to be the spoiler…I’ll leave it to that.
During the movie you see some familiar video game characters
in the background and honestly, I was searching to see if I could spot some
more that I knew. Sonic you can’t mess at all in the movie. He appears number
of times and even though I’m not much of a Sonic fan. I smiled, I actually
couldn’t stop smiling seeing Sonic there and I laughed when he actually used
the line.
“It’s no good~!”
Oh, beautiful.
Oh, j-pop fans, I got news for you in case you haven’t
heard. The music group AKB48 actually sings one of the songs in the movie! The
song is called “Sugar Rush.” Ah,
Disney you have undone yourself in the movie, haven’t you? It was such a treat
to hear some Japanese music in the movie.
Ah…Sonic. It’s all-good!
So, if you are a video game fan this is a must see or if you
love some storyline and some deep and charming characters, see the movie or
just simply see the movie because it’s just so great! I personally loved this
movie and can’t want to get the DVD of it whenever it comes out. I’m hoping that Disney will make more
heart touching movie like this that make me feel like the kid watching the
little mermaid for the first time again. They did their homework in this one
and for that I will give Disney my love once more.
