Journal #4: The Incredibles Screening Report


insidethemagic.com

I’ve watched The Incredibles a couple of times when I was younger and every time I watch it, I get a feel that the main theme of the movie is about family and working together. A scene that I found important and corresponds with the theme very well happens at about 1:36 in the movie. In the scene, the Parr family had just gotten away from the area where Syndrome held them captive. They aboard a trailer van and attach it to the flying rocket plane using Elastigirl, Helen Parr, to hold them together. They land in the city where Syndrome’s robot has gone out of control. Bob leaves the trailer and tells his wife and kids to stay hidden while goes out to fight Syndrome’s robot he’s released. Franticly, Helen heads out of the vehicle and yells at Bob for telling them to stay back.  “You’re my husband, I’m with you” Helen asks what the matter is and Bob says “I can’t lose you again…not again, I’m not strong enough”. Helen tells Bob “if we work together that wont have to be”, Bob tells Helen he is unsure what will happen and seems afraid but Helen assures him that if they work together as a family, everything will be fine, “after all they’re superheroes” and the two kiss and decide they will “work together”. Syndromes robot attacks, Violet screams in horror and the family attacks. From that moment forward the family works together, and with help from Frozone, they defeat Syndrome’s robot. That scene is important because it represents the very moment that the family decides to work together as a family—a superhero family, and the main theme in this movie is about family and working together.
