MESSAGES

Loss

A young girl whose father has disappeared suffers from not seeing him anymore. Her father was someone who reassured her. This type of loss makes it difficult to function with others, risk of withdrawal. Grief. Young Yi couldn’t mourn her father, she says her family is not the loving kind. It is by traveling where her father wanted to go that she will work on her loss, continuing to play the paternal violin (the theme of travel accompanies that of mourning).

Asia

We are shown a story that is spoken in China, with a large megalopolis, we are shown a large hi-tech building with sound and light, we discover how technology is present there. Then we are taken into nature, we are shown different places, such as the great Buddha of Leshan.

Friendship

Children parenting together on an adventure. Growing up, you can lose a bit of the link with the other, an adventure can recreate the link. We could have thought that there was going to be a romance between the two teenagers, but we avoid that during the film.

Family

Growing up, it is more complicated for parents to understand their teenagers. Parental protection. The Yeti needs to find his family, he is a child who needs to be with his family. Importance of protecting children. Single parent family. Yi is a young girl who no longer has a father, she lives with her mother and her grandmother. We see the mother’s concern and the difficulty of communication between her and her daughter, they can no longer communicate and no longer understand each other. The teenager must not run towards what he does not have, but understand that his family is important. It’s good to function well with your family, but you don’t have to tell them everything. Adolescence.

Perseverance

Even when things are really bad, you must not give up (whether you are a fish or a young girl who wants to help a lost animal). Combat. When necessary, we must confront those who prevent us from reaching our goal. strength of the weak. Children can win against armed adults.

help the other

Yi will help the hairy monster, and even heal it. She cheers him up by playing him a violin tune like his father used to play him. Jin will exchange his precious cell phone to go find his friends to help them. Protection. Need to take care of each other (Yi’s family would like to help her, but she helps a big monster). Return a Yeti to his world.

Nature

Great contrast between the city and the countryside. We are shown very beautiful landscapes (we don’t really make environmental remarks, even if cans are left in the middle of nature or a man wants to cut down a tree for his pleasure).

Bragging

We criticize the one who thinks he is the best, the most beautiful. Appearance. Jin pays attention to his appearance, girls like him.

Money

Money can help a lot (we see that the bad guys use the money so that people don’t talk). A rich person thinks only of himself. We see how the millionaire allows himself to take whatever he wants for himself (have a beautiful tree cut down to bring it home). class difference. Rich people laugh at those who have less money. Yi needs to put on his sunglasses to look rich. Power is money and those who have it can afford anything. Consumption. He who has money consumes and believes that his new shoes are important. Work. We see that a young girl wants to make pocket money by doing small jobs (but she works all day and is rather exploited).

Freak

We are told a story of Yeti (he will not be seen as a monster, but as a friendly creature who here is still a child).

Magic

The monster has the ability to modify plants, to make them grow.

New technologies

We see a young person who uses his laptop a lot, it is difficult for him to be cut off from his social life when he no longer has a network.

Animal protection

One criticizes a man who taps on rare snakes (creatures deserve respect). A zoologist wants to protect the animals (especially the rare ones) (but this is only a facade and the only ones who appreciate and protect are the children).

Repair

The old man changes his mind, he becomes nice again just at the end of the film. People can change, it is enough to live experiences that allow this.

And in bulk

The movie features a lot of little themes that are only present in a few scenes. Sugar. Sodas make everything excited. Basketball. One of the children is a basketball fan. Violin. Music can give us well-being. Pleasure to hear or play the violin.

gender stereotype

The monster makes a big burp, Yi who was wondering what sex he was sends back to him that it’s clear that he is a boy.

Abominable

DIFFICULT SCENES

Hazards

The big hairy beast flees through the streets and is hit by a vehicle. Fruits become immense and risk crushing the teenagers, they must flee. The armed men prevent the children from helping the Yeti, they put him in a cage, tied with chains, the woman goes to give him an electric baton, Yi tries to prevent her, but she gets thrown off the bridge , they leave without her, we can think she’s dead given the fall, but she’s hanging on a rope.

Faintness

The beginning of the film is in subjective camera, with grunt and dark corridors, we are in the eyes of a big animal which frightens scientists and flees them. Lightning effect at night. We see that the big hairy beast would like to go back to Everest. Yi doesn’t dare to tell the truth to her mother, she hides things from her, gets up at night, she lied to her telling her that she had sold her violin. Yi is disturbed by a helicopter on the roof of her building, she falls and sends her violin close to the hand of the creature, she tries not to be noticed, but makes a noise, the beast goes towards her and she has fear. Then she understands that the helicopter has something against the animal and she hides it, we fear that she will be discovered. She discovers that the beast is injured, she uses her savings to help him. Yi approaches the monster slowly. A stern boss orders his men to find the Yeti. Two boys see the Yeti, one of them calls the police and this informs the bad guys of the whereabouts of the animal, a helicopter arrives, it must flee, and it takes the little girl on its way. They risk being shot, they are in the sights. Yi is in danger of falling from a height, the Yeti recovers her. The helicopter finds them, they are stuck on a roof. Yi decides to leave with the Yeti who seems not to know how to manage on his own. The military follow in the footsteps of the children by following the cans of soda (no one remarks that it is not ecological). Drones discovered the children. They are all hanging on a flying dandelion except one of the kids who failed to go with them, the drones are chasing them, they want to knock them down. The zoologist pretends they’re the good guys and Jin gets swayed to tell them where his friends want to go. In a few moments the heroes find themselves in the middle of the desert. We understand that ultimately, the zoologist is more dangerous than the old man, she plays a double game and does not hesitate to want to seize the Yeti so that it is then cut up. Fear of losing Jin whom they thought they recognized (but it wasn’t him). The bad guys find the Yeti, they chase the animal. Amphibious vehicle that chases the heroes, the magic of Everest manages to make them sail on the fields, the wave becomes immense and they no longer control anything, they end up being knocked down, we fear for the life of Peng who is unconscious on the ground . Everest is going to release something from his mouth, he vomits petals on Jin. Yi’s precious violin is broken, she leaves sad alone in the forest. In tense music, the bad guys prevent the heroes from crossing the bridge that was going to allow the Yeti to return home, the magic sends them lightning, they want to shoot him with a tranquilizer gun. Flashback where the old man sees himself face to face with a Yeti who scares him. The old man no longer wants to take ownership of the Yeti, the fake zoologist has his boss shot, then has all the men shot at the animal, which falls from a height unconscious. The Yeti is angry, he sends ice cubes on the road and it creates accidents with cars. The woman decides to rush against him, she crushes him against a mountain which will flow over them, the vehicle is taken down the cliff and the avalanche passes close to the heroes. Everest will leave the heroes to find his family.

Mockery

We make fun of one of the children full of himself (finds himself with blueberries on his buttocks and moves forward waddling his booty), he cares a lot about his shoes, it’s rather laughable.

VOCABULARY

Classic. We don’t really understand why the grandmother has a Chinese accent and speaks less well than the others since they are all in China and had to speak Chinese
