想必从今年暑假开始,一脸萌相却又要扮酷吓人的小怪物麦克·华斯基已经成为各位心目中的励志偶像了吧。从小发奋读书,考入理想大学却因天生不“怪”而遭遇退学,没有自暴自弃而是调整好心态,从惊吓公司的传达室重新向着梦想靠近。

另一边是天生因为自己长得特别吓人而洋洋自得的怪物苏利文,他成天游手好闲,功课挂掉后就算拼爹也没能得到认可。

如此看来,虽说动画电影普遍励志,但《怪兽大学》还真是一部接地气的励志片。它在嬉笑怒骂中强调这样的事实:努力了不一定会成功;有天赋却不努力一定不能成功。当然,电影要表达的主旨并不在此。虽然主角在努力后没有得到成功这一大众认可的正面结果,但是努力的过程中却让人收益良多:麦克和苏利文不打不相识建立起来的友情,积极向上的心态养成,失败后换种方式去实现自身价值的思维方式……最后他们依然实现了梦想,成为赫赫有名的惊吓专员——电影《怪兽公司》(Monsters. Inc)足以为证。另外,同学们在得到满满正能量的同时,相信你们还发现了一个令人向往的可能性,那就是“学霸”和“学渣”也可以当朋友呢!
