      Speed Racer--It's Just a Visual Feast for Kids

      It is said that it was a visual feast that Wachowski filmed for his children. It was full of exciting game side scenes, rich colors, and superficial cartoon character descriptions, which made the Wachowskis completely move away from the dark and cool tones in people's impressions. in the opposite direction. The bright, candy-colored picture is absolutely perfect! However, the quality of the literary drama is really low,...

      Disappointed

      It was a pretty good cartoon in my childhood memory. After it was adapted into a movie, it lost a lot of very intimate feeling. Except for the 7 buttons on the Mach 5, and the brother who drove the No. 9 car, I would never think of it again. What familiar scenes have come up? The picture has strong cartoon characteristics, and there are many special effects. The overall is a bit messy, and the plot is not very clear. There are many differences with the original version. Compared with Charlie...

      If Douban had six stars, then I would only give this movie

      1. The ultimate in imagination.
      2. If you know a little about pop art that was popular in the 1960s and 1970s, have a little interest in graphic design, and like comics and retro, you will definitely fall in love with it.
      3. I can only say that this film has completely turned the imagination of comics in the reader's mind into a real picture. This kind of picture is not only different from the plane of the comics, but also different from the pure live-action movies adapted from...

      Dirty driver brothers, those who don't understand you, go away!

      I have to say, another super daring attempt!!!!
      Just read the comments, what impatient, what one star junk movie, what movie exits after 10 minutes, I can't help but ask, you really understand Dirty driver brother??
      Of course I don't understand, but no matter which time, the last thing they left for me is only shock, shock, and shock, haha.
      From the beginning of The Matrix trilogy, there are many people around me. Many of my friends say I can't understand it, I can't stand it,...

      Use love instead of engine

      Today, I was very pleasantly surprised. I found out in Watsons that the Speed ​​Racer released today has the original sound in a hall. I almost cried with joy. Because I don't have to wait for this film to appear on the Internet to download it and watch it. You know, the translated film hurts my feelings as a student who works hard at learning English on weekdays.
        This film whetted my appetite, largely because I liked cartoons based on the same manga as this film when I was a kid. A Mach...

    Movie plot

    Speeding in the lane, turning sharply, and crossing the finish line, Speedy ( Hirschy ) seems to have been integrated with his car. There is no doubt that he was born for racing. Speed ​​is aggressive and aggressive, but a bit impulsive in character. He is arrogant and never considers the consequences. In short, he has all the conditions that a good racer should have, plus his bravery and fearlessness. It is unmatched in the racing...

    Behind the scenes gags

    In the film, Rain needs to be dressed as a woman. He laughed and said that this was his first time wearing a woman. He was always worried that his legs would not be beautiful enough when the camera took pictures. He wanted to make the part exposed under the skirt more beautiful.
    Director Alfonso Cuarón was once interested in this film, but he directed the premise that the leading role must be Johnny Depp.
    According to producer Joe Silvo,...

    Creative background

    Before "Speed ​​Racer" was adapted into a movie, its fan base had expanded to generations across multiple cultures. The original animation comes from a set of Japanese comic book series called "Ace Driver". By 1967, the comic book was made into a TV show, and the name was "Little Heroes of Speed". Almost 6 months later, the series was brought to the United States and turned into an English-dubbed cartoon series "Rapid Racing". Soon,...

    Negative reviews

    Pure marshmallows have no nutrition, but their appearance is sweet and attractive, making it difficult for young people to resist. ( "Variety" review ) Filming "Speed ​​Racer", the director Wachowski brothers fell into the matrix they set up, and as a result they completely lost contact with the outside world. ( AP Review ) I can tolerate anything, but these two hours and 15 minutes have made me dizzy and want to vomit. After such...

    Movie quotes

    • Mr. Royalton: A million dollars to the driver that takes out Racer.

      Cannonball Taylor: He won't even get out of the blocks.

      Mr. Royalton: I prefer him to not even make it out of the locker room.

    • Mr. Royalton: So. I can see you've been giving some serious thought to this thing.

      Speed: [pause] I have. Yes, sir.

      Mr. Royalton: Good. That means you understand we're talking about not just your future, but your family's future.

      Speed: My family means a lot to me.

      Mr. Royalton: I know. I can tell. That's why this is so important, because you can help them. All you have to say is yes. That's all I need to hear. And I can make so many things happen, for you *and* your family.

      [pause]

      Mr. Royalton: You ready for that? You ready to say yes, Speed?

    • Mr. Royalton: [to Speed, laughing] You poor, naïve chump. I'm going to pretend I didn't hear that load of sickening schmaltz, and I'm going to give you a bit of an education - and at the end of it, if you're smart, you'll thank me. And then you'll sign that contract.
