"The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn", released in China on November 15, was jointly created by two well-known directors, Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson. On the basis of the faithfulness of the storyline to the original work, with "The Secret of the Unicorn" as the main line, while integrating the storylines of "Golden Claw Crab Drug Cartel" and "Red Rackham's Treasure", it also keeps pace with the times. Less modern elements make the storyline more compact. The CG animation, expression capture technology and dynamic and gorgeous 3D special effects bring a visual adventure journey.
Compact Adventure Story
As director Spielberg has always emphasized in an interview, characters, stories, and creativity are the core of the film, and 3D is just a technical means. In the film "The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn", the appearance of each character and the characters' personalities are connected with the storyline.
Wearing a khaki trench coat, blue knitted sweater, brown breeches, and slightly upturned hair, Tintin's appearance comes from a portrait of a cartoonist who looks like Hergé on the street. The director kills two birds with one stone, paying tribute to the cartoonist Hergé. Tintin, who bought the unicorn model and immediately got into trouble but didn't give up, revealed more or less the character of "bearing morality with iron shoulders and writing articles with smart hands".
The wonderful thing about the pet dog Bai Xue is that it not only reflects the cuteness of animals, but also promotes the development of the story. He accidentally broke the mast of the model ship while chasing the cat. And the parchment in the mast was kicked under the cabinet by Tintin again. The story just "inadvertently" kicked off.
The two policemen, Du Pont and Du Pont, used rubber glue to stick purses to their habitual thieves, Aristides Silk. Although the comic "The Secret of the Unicorn" is also used to steal the scene, the film uses this plot to easily freeze the two brothers in the ranks of humorous and harmless.
The alcoholic Captain Haddock was half-drunk and half-sobered in the cabin after Tintin had just escaped from Red Crum's captivity, and formed an ally with Tintin in the fight. Compared with the plot in the comics where Tintin buys the unicorn ship model as a birthday present for Captain Haddock, the movie seems to be more coincidental and the story is smoother.
As for the next expedition, from the gun battle in the cabin to the lonely lifeboat at sea, the lightning battle in the desert where the propeller plane broke through the dark clouds, Tintin and the eagle on a motorcycle in the Moroccan port compete for three secrets The parchment slips, all the way down, laughing at each other, but quite a few "Raiders of the Lost Ark", "Pirates of the Caribbean", "National Treasure", "Uptown", "Azur and Asmar" ", "Rio Adventure" in the wonderful sense of flashbacks. In particular, the bulletproof glass, which was repeatedly emphasized, was shattered by the high-decibel singing of the singer "Milan Nightingale". Reminiscent of "The Shawshank Redemption" with the sound of thunderstorms smashing the pipes of the sewer to escape, and "Instinct" in which the man was killed in the most HIGHT shout, "The Killing" in the beat of playing music to shoot and kill The plot is equally astounding.
As for the alcoholic Captain Haddock, who was also in a state of inexorable drunkenness, he explained the reasons for his unwillingness to advance. However, he recalled the family story on the front line of life and death, and bravely accepted his own mission.
Gorgeous Visual Journey is
a film that combines memory and reality, sea sailing scenes, desert walking and sky flying.
When the lifeboats Tintin, Baixue and Captain Haddock floating on the boundless sea level were at a loss, a pair of huge black objects swallowed them up. The camera moved up, it was the shoes of Du Pont and Du Pont brothers, and the vast ocean suddenly became A small water wow on the street; Captain Haddock recalled that when the ancestor Francois and the pirate chief "Red Rackham" were fighting at sea, the oncoming waves immediately evaporated in the hot desert, and the water vapor seemed to be still floating in the air The battle between Captain Haddock and the red Rackham descendant tower is not only as shocking as the final battle of "Transformers 3", but also corresponds to the scene of the duel between Francois and Red Rackham. A feeling of time passing. The glass that was shattered by the singing, and the sharp edges and corners of the sky danced, with a strong visual impact.
It can be seen that CG animation not only restores the strong colors and delicate composition of the comics, but also adds romantic wings to the imagination. The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn is being produced by Weta Digital, like recent digital blockbusters. Among them, the dog Baixue is all made with CG technology, and the other characters are completed with actor motion performance capture technology. Andy Serkis, who played "Caesar" in "Rise of the Planet of the Apes", "Gollum" in "Lord of the Rings", and "King Kong" in "King Kong", plays Captain Haddock this time; Jamie Bell Plays the protagonist Tintin; the "zombie duo" of "Shaun of Zombies" and "Blood Detective" play the hilarious Dupont brothers. The fusion of their performances and superb production techniques brings a refreshing visual experience to this expedition.

After watching the film, my brain is empty, and I have a desire to continue watching the next "The Adventures of Tintin", but it is not strong. Zhang Ailing's words are probably appropriate here. The long-arrived "The Adventures of Tintin", although flawless, is happy and unhappy. Perhaps, as director Spielberg said, there is enough bad news in life, and the movie may allow everyone to temporarily escape reality, even if it is only for two hours. Maybe my expectations were too high.
