      It's called a movie review

      That's right, the real name of this movie is "Look How I Kill a Scumbag".
          It's still very sad. During the decisive battle, I kept thinking in my heart, look, this is the person you loved...
          It seems that it is very common to meet scumbags, even fairies are no exception. Angelique Julia is so beautiful, but she was 17 years old when she first came out in the movie, right, that face and makeup are too dramatic, so I'm more used to it after darkening.
          Moreover, I have...

      who returned your wings

      In the wave of adaptation of fairy tales in recent years, Maleficent is probably not particularly subversive or transcendent. Those gorgeous special effects have long been accustomed to watching, and the dialogue does not have many features. The plot is logical and there is no magical turning point or surprising place. On a plane to and from the southern hemisphere, I stared at a tiny screen and watched it back and forth a few times, crying like a dog each time.

      I don't think this...

      To Angelina Jolie

      At first, it felt like a fairy tale revenge, but later found that the connotation is much more than that. No matter how big the hatred is, it will be resolved by true love. Looking forward to how far-fetched Laura would be, it turned out to be so natural and bland. That true love kiss is not between a man and a woman, it can be between two living beings. Not between lips but also between skins. The rivalry between laura and maleficent is actually not much but it is very popular. The lines are...

      One thought of heaven, one thought of hell---The mixed feelings after watching "Maleficent"

      The Buddha said: "Things follow the mind, the state is created by the mind, and troubles are all generated by the mind", "The appearance is generated by the mind, the state is rotated by the mind, the mind is connected to the Buddha, and the pearl can help the Tao." It's annoying when things change." One thought of heaven, another thought of hell.

      Just like all things in the vast world, the types of movies are also very different. Even among Disney films, most of which are produced...

      Still, it's worth going to the cinema.

      Maybe this is Disney's usual mode, adapting some familiar fairy tales, this movie is "Sleeping Beauty", and the screenwriter does the opposite, making the protagonist from "Sleeping Beauty" to the curser. When the movie went to "Kiss of True Love", the audience, including me, was really surprised, and even felt a little thunderous. But think about it, the screenwriter raised the level of "true love" from male and female love to "big love", maybe this is the central idea that the whole team...

      Fairy tales are all deceptive, I said, no one sees a beautiful person as true love, it is a sexual impulse, and true love takes time to water, no matter what kind of love, family, friendship, love, and love. Just like the [Love at Second Sight] I watched a few days ago, falling in love at first sight is an impulse, and only after getting along is the real...

      Well, I like it, although the movie almost just shoots the story frame, and many plots choose to ignore or ignore, resulting in a lot of slots, but the effect is still...

      Goddess Julie! ! Kneel and lick the queen! ! When the little princess smiled, her heart melted! ! I like Brother Bird, cute and arrogant! The Queen's tyrant is cool and occasionally cute and playful~ The effect is great! Edit like! The queen and princess are true love and must live happily together!...

    Behind the scenes gags

    ① Julie's daughter Vivienne plays the role of Princess Arlo as a child in the film. Julie said that letting her daughter play a role is completely "the trend of the situation." The other three or four-year-old actors were terrified by the horns and pointed nails on her head, but she needed another child to act in the opposite role. It could only be Wei. Viann.
    ②For the exaggerated look in the film, Julie always sticks something on her...

    Filming process

    As the artistic director of "Avatar" and "Alice in Wonderland", Stromberg, who served as the director this time, when accepting the film's invitation, thought about a different surrealist approach he used to use in the past. , But strive for the elements of reality and augmented reality.
    After the IMAX DMR technology carefully adjusts the contrast, brightness and color of each frame of the film copy, the audience can see that the soft...

    Positive view

    "Sleeping Beauty" adapted from "Sleeping Beauty", the film has made a substantial adaptation of the original story, extending the border of fairy tales and transforming it into a brand new story.
    The original story of "Sleeping Beauty" is relatively simple because it is a fairy tale, that is, the evil black witch turns the princess into a sleeping beauty out of jealousy, until the sleeping princess meets the kiss of true love before she...

    The story is not compact and special effects come together

    From the story, "Sleeping Curse" is not very subversive. It is basically an adaptation of "Old Wine in New Bottles", with little new ideas but no big surprises. Especially when Marlene Fissen reveals the maternal nature of "Knife Mouth Tofu Heart", the film does not have a real "villain" and dark effect.
    The audience is no longer worried about the princess's destiny. The overly affectionate atmosphere and the running account-style...

      [she laughs maliciously]

      Maleficent: How quaint, even the rabble.

      [Maleficent stares at an obviously nervous King Stephan]

      Maleficent: I must say, I really felt quite distressed at not receiving an invitation.

      King Stefan: You're not welcome here.

      Maleficent: [whimpers mockingly] Oh.

      [Maleficent starts laughing]

      Maleficent: Oh dear! What an awkward situation.

      [turns as if about to leave]

      Queen Leila: You're not offended?

      Maleficent: Why, no. And to show I bear no ill will, I, too, shall bestow a gift on the child.

      King Stefan: No! We don't want your gift!

      Knotgrass: Stay away from the princess!

      Thistletwit: Yes, stay away!

      [Maleficent sends the fairies flying across the room, falling into a chest, then she looks at the baby Aurora pensively]

      Maleficent: [begins to cast her spell] Listen well, all of you. The princess shall indeed grow in grace and beauty, beloved by all who meet her.

      Queen Leila: That's a lovely gift.

      [King Stephan gets fearful of what Maleficent's "gift" will hold next]

      King Stefan: Don't do this.

      [Maleficent presses her finger to her lips]

      King Stefan: [Maleficent spots a spinning wheel]

      Maleficent: But...

    • Maleficent: Before the sun sets on her sixteenth birthday, she will prick her finger on the spindle of a spinning wheel, and fall into a sleep like death! A sleep from which she will *never* awaken!

      King Stefan: Maleficent, please don't do this, I'm begging you.

      Maleficent: I like you begging. Do it again.

      [Maleficent motions for him to kneel]

      Maleficent: [King Stefan kneels before Maleficent, his advisers looking on in disapproval]

      Maleficent: All right.

      Maleficent: The princess *can* be woken from her death sleep, but only by...

      [Maleficent glares vindictively at Stefan]

    • [From trailer]

      Princess Aurora: All the other fairies fly, why don't you?

      Maleficent: I had wings once, and they were strong. But they were stolen from me.
