I have to say that "Legend of the Guardians" gave us an extremely enjoyable movie-watching experience. The gorgeous CG, exquisite character design, clever action arrangement and extremely high-quality lens design have established the excellence and excellence of this film. There is no doubt that this year's CG animation album has been added a strong stroke.

The degree of sophistication of this film is not inferior to this year's other two excellent animation works "Toy Story 3" and "How to Train Your Dragon". Hollywood's animated CG technology has reached a certain level, and the visual wonders of time and time have already made most of them. People no longer think that cartoons are exclusively children’s genres. Hollywood’s animated CG technology has proven its indisputable king status in the world time and time again. The viewing process of this film can be described as extremely enjoyable, regardless of its ordinary script. , The lens of this film itself completely covers the flaws in the script of this film, and it shapes the wonderful creatures like owls almost dreamlike and perfect, and extremely cute, and the introduction of epic themes also makes the whole film more atmospheric. More surging.

Hollywood often unexpectedly uses a special animal group or a special "apparatus" to create the entire world. "Finding Nemo" is the creation of the world of underwater creatures, and "Cars" is the world that portrays the cars. And "Shrek" is to create a world of fairy tale characters, this mode is more popular in the current animation industry, and this time "Legend of the Watcher" brings us the kingdom of owls, excellent CG technology is extremely meticulous Every feather of this group of wonderful creatures is restored to the incomparably fine detail, and the visual beauty is pleasing to the eye.

The anthropomorphization of animals is a customary method in Hollywood, and this method greatly expands the number of story development, plot details and image portrayal space, and also gives people a sense of intimacy and identity. Many such films have Success also proves a little bit.

Zachsnyder's most famous work at present should be "300 Warriors", and his style in "300" is also inherited in "Legend of the Guardians", such as comic style slow motion close-ups, use of tones and smoothness The decisive narrative style will never be sloppy. The story of "Legend of the Guardian" is relatively traditional and mediocre. Zach makes up for the mediocrity of the plot with his decisive and unsullied narrative style, stylized lens design, and use of color and light. And CG technology is the icing on the cake for this movie. It is not easy to tell a simple or even old-fashioned story. Compared with the similar movie "Alice in Wonderland" last year, this movie has a narrative victory. The film, "Alice in Wonderland" has a relatively serious problem of narrative procrastination. Zach's decisiveness is very worthy of recognition. He has adapted to the trend and technique of commercial film narrative.

The dubbing of cartoons has always been a very important part of the composition of the film, and the dubbing of "Legend of the Guardian" has also inherited the high level of dubbing of Hollywood cartoons. The standard Hollywood accent, the voices of the righteous and evil characters are quite clear and easy to distinguish. Although it is stylized, it is still excellent, and the soundtrack of this film is completely in the Hollywood style. It is not brilliant, but it is also impeccable. It is the high standard of many aspects that constitutes the key to the success of this film. Of course This is also the way to win the Hollywood film industry. Hollywood's cultural export has long become a major item in American foreign trade. This undoubtedly reflects the unquestionable dominance of its industry in the world for decades

. The combination of film itself and technology It is a very skillful thing, and whether the two can be perfectly combined to bring artistic beauty and commercial profit, it tests not only the director, but also the degree of running-in of the entire film production team. Only the two can be very good. Only by running and running together can we create excellent works. "Legend of the Guardian" is a recent outstanding representative, temporarily abandoning the so-called criticism of the transmission of American ideas. The film about courage, justice, belief, persistence, etc. is also impressive. It establishes the educational effect of upward spirit, and whether it is preaching or American indoctrination, the positive impact it brings to people is extremely worthy of encouragement.

This year’s list of outstanding film works must have a place for this film, and the use of 3D technology on this film still has obvious flaws, but it can be regarded as bringing a certain degree of viewing to the film. In addition, the end of this film The paragraph also clearly indicates that this film must have a sequel, so let us look forward to the next happy encounter with the owls.
