In the animated film The Incredibles, Bob Parr, aka Mr. Incredible, finds himself jobless.
He gets a package from a woman named Mirage. She asks him to help terminate a
robot for an award from her boss. He takes up the offer and he tricks his wife,
Helen Parr, into thinking he is going on a business trip. He is sent on a plane and travels to the
island of Nomanisan with Mirage. She explains to him the top secret mission to
terminate the robot. She explains that the robot can be tricky because of its
ability to able to solve problems it’s confronted with. Mr. Incredible is faced
to find the prototype robot deep in the jungle of the island. Once he get off
the plane, he finds himself running through the god-forsaken jungle. He is
sweating, realizing how out of shape he is, when the robot attacks him. He
still uses his super strength to defeat the robot, but the robot figures out
his moves and leads him to a volcano. Mr. Incredible pushes him into the lava,
but the robot comes popping out with hi one red eye. He punches threw the robot
and it is stabbing its self-multiple times. The robot rips out its power source
and falls over. Mr. Incredible laughs and jogs away. Then presented is a parrot
with its eye as a camera. Watching threw the camera is Mirage and the mysterious
boss in the shadow…
The
scene I described above demonstrates that Mr. Incredible still knows how to
defeat the bad guys, even out of shape and older. When he still wears his old
super suite, it shows he is still stuck in the past, but knows he has missed using
his superpowers more than anything. Also, the scene has advanced animations
with the jungle and the volcano. It feels and looks like real vegetation and
steaming hot lava! When Mr. Incredible decided to take on this mission, he lies
to his family and does not want to admit to himself that he misses hero work
and the adrenaline rush from it. This scene demonstrates the dramatic fight
scene between the robot and Mr. Incredible. The scene has many creative angles
and humor while during this “Boom Pow!” fight scene. At the end, they show that
someone has been watching him the whole time to defeat Mr. Incredible and soon
further into the movie with the rest of his super family!
That scene was almost sad in my opinion because he was willing to lie to his family and put them in danger just to pursue his "glory days" of being a super hero. It really shows his drive to want to be a hero.
