True and false, past and present, a chaotic experience

First of all, we still have to express deep admiration for Hollywood's film technology. Even if it is described as "real and fake", it is not enough to explain the excellent CG technology of The Lion King. It is completely real Kenya. The problem is also in this extreme realism. When you are immersed in the vitality of this real animal world, suddenly all the lions, monkeys and dogs start to speak. The premise that and expressions must serve the truth has caused all the lions, monkeys and dogs to have their faces paralyzed, leaving only a pair of acting eyes, just like Tony Leung's eyes were cut out and placed on Chen Xuedong's face, which inevitably violated the peace. The past and present plots, pictures, music, and lines are of course a perfect re-engraving and restoration of the 94th edition. When the "Chihuahua" music in the title sounded, I couldn't help but follow the tears. Restoring the classics is worthy of recognition. But after all, it’s 9102 years, and there are still some innovative expectations in my heart. The more I see the back, the more frightened I get. This is a movie without a screenwriter. Except for the changes in presentation methods brought about by technological progress, the rest is almost the same. Like Mao, there really is no enterprising spirit other than technology. Under this kind of copy-and-paste scenario, I was in a trance when I went back to watching a movie in the lecture hall in junior high school, but when I looked at the picture, I knew clearly that it was not.

    2.0 / The first and second acts dragged on like "Animal World", and the third act was like "Animal Attack". There are only "animal" things, no "people" things. When watching it, there is always the illusion of a group of animals with personal speech in their mouths, a kind of horror comedy cult feeling after the end of mankind. #manual funny#

    Is "reality" itself a spectacle? When the off-site information is emphasized, when the preview is observed as a prelude that does not seek immersion, "reality" is of course a spectacle, because it represents the myth of capital and technology; but once the audience is invited to enter, everything in the film is "real" It will become a kind of "Animal World"-style for granted, and "real" is of course not a spectacle. Where is the real spectacle? Human dubbing performance has lost the coordination of "anthropomorphic performance" of traditional animation, and the falseness of hearing is more false because the vision is more realistic; a more realistic presentation method is bundled, and the animation version's most proud singing and dancing is impossible. Recreated without restraint, the true spectacles of The Lion King—the inner spectacle from anthropomorphic emotion, the outer spectacle from expressionism—are all undone by technology. And the adjustment of the plot is hindered by the feelings of the bottom, which is extremely tasteless. Whether it is the cutting-edge exploration of the medium made by "Billy Lynn" or the further mainstream attempt made by "The Lion King" based on capital brute force, it shows that the relationship between film and reality has entered a more interesting stage.

The Lion King quotes

  • Simba: It's over, Scar.

    Scar: Have mercy on me.

    Simba: Mercy? For what you did.

    Scar: It was the hyenas. Those were the revolting, scavengers made me do it. I was planning on killing them all.

    Simba: You fooled the hyenas? Just like you fooled me.

    Scar: Simba, you wouldn't kill your only uncle.

    Simba: No, Scar. I'm not like you.

    Scar: Oh, Simba. You are truly noble, and I will make it up to you. Just tell me how I can prove myself. Tell me what you want me to do.

    Simba: Run... Run away, Scar. Run away, and never return.

    Scar: Yes. Of course... As you wish.

    [looking down and seeing a pile of hot coals, began to angry]

    Scar: Your majesty!

    [throws embers of fire at Simba's face]

  • Scar: Say it, Are you the king?

    Simba: No, No-I...

    Scar: Are you the king?

    Simba: No...

    Scar: No what? Say it!

    Simba: I'm nothing

    Scar: Then bow to your King!

    [Simba falls and hangs over the ledge of Pride Rock]
