The Adventures of Tintin

Spielberg directed 3D animation for the first time, and he did not lose his character as an adventurer. Taking lessons from the Belgian cartoonist Elke's masterpiece "The Adventures of Tintin", he transformed Tintin, the little Sherlock Holmes, into the little Dr. Jones of the world. This film, the main idea comes from the publication of "The Secret of the Unicorn" (The Secret of the Unicorn) in 1943, brings out the process of Tintin and Captain Haddock's acquaintance, as well as the captain's family history: born in ten The grievances between the ancestors of the 8th century Haddak knight and the red pirate Kram, involving the treasures left by Kram, etc., are extremely rich in content. Its European background in the 1940s, and Spielberg's nostalgic sentiment, hit it off and made the style more pure (European-style detective, elegant thief, shipwreck treasure, battle of wits). It strives to be varied (from Europe to Africa, from the ocean to the desert), and the characters are all three-dimensional and interesting (Milu and Oolong explore DuPont DuPont), which is extremely pleasing to the eye, and is very similar to Raiders of the Lost Ark in the early 1980s. The mood is quite similar. It actually includes suspenseful investigations, treasure hunting adventures, two generations of grievances and personal growth. Spielberg maintains the fashion of its great entertainer and adopts a style that emphasizes both solemnity and harmony. It moves like a rabbit, and there are many humorous characters and situations. (The rogue gentleman pickpocket and the glass-shattering singer). His strengths in adventure action and strange reasoning are not new, but in general stunt blockbusters are superhuman in action and low-minded, "Ding Ding" instead has a long-lost old school solid, approachable but not blindly kitsch. The most rare thing is that the opening chapters are plain in the first part, but under the secret of Tintin's pursuit of the model ship Unicorn, there are strange chapters everywhere. Like Tintin and Haddock escaped in the ocean ship, and the subsequent plane crashed into the desert, which is based on another work "The Crab with Golden Claws," 1941), Spielberg's adaptation is simply superb, using both the comedy of Haddock's alcoholic (thinking he was imprisoned but only drunk) and humor (burning wine on a life raft to keep warm and sinking a ship), while taking advantage of desert thirst. The flashbacks of the water (thirsty wine) flashbacks to the family and the red pirate festivals, the kind of storytelling and structure have been beaten. In particular, it makes full use of the advantages of animation fantasy and camera angle, not only combining drunkenness and soberness into two extreme states of life, but also combining reality and memory scenes, forming an interesting effect of co-location of virtual and real ( The desert becomes the ocean, and the drunk cat Haddak becomes the brave Haddock knight). Animation advantages are everywhere. Haddock was in a state of weightlessness on the turbulent plane, and the danger of his life was eliminated by the smell of alcohol. The image and imagination were seamlessly combined; later at the "Milan Nightingale" concert, Haddock, Tintin and Mi Lu is equally divided and closed, chasing the eagle from the mountain, the kind of courage that tests the scheduling of the camera and the narrative structure (a treasure note, shuttle between two groups of people, three mobile vehicles and two animals) ), it is simply the ultimate charm of animation, I am afraid that live-action movies are not as good as they are. But after reading the original book, I was surprised by Spielberg's adaptation skills. He made a drastic move, elevated the original straight-line investigation form to the mystery of Captain Haddock's family, and fabricated the descendant of the collector Saylin Naihong pirates, who wanted to seize the treasure and make a comeback, in order to avenge the killing of the ancestors, forming the last Haddak and Saylin Crane Battle This battle of the descendants. This not only presents the original story in a more three-dimensional manner, but also has a higher level of play to treasure, reputation and personal aspirations. Spielberg did so much effort, not only to become famous in successive battles (Captain Haddock and the red pirate cabin lit gunpowder and fought each other, echoing the subsequent crane war), but more importantly, to let this decadent and drunken escape escape The real hero of the end can regain his dignity. The unremarkable captain's red feather hat in the original book, the servants and the castle waiting for the master, have secretly become the embodiment of dignity and ambition in this film. The will cannot be eaten away by alcohol. In the end, Haddock threw bottles of whisky as a weapon at Saylin, which was really intentional, humorous and thought-provoking. It's becoming increasingly rare for entertainment films to do this level, with or without 3D animation. ), it is simply the ultimate charm of animation, I am afraid that live-action movies are not as good as they are.

The Adventures of Tintin quotes

  • Captain Haddock: I thought you were an optimist.

    Tintin: You were wrong, weren't you? I'm a realist.

    Captain Haddock: Ah, it's just another name for a quitter.

    Tintin: You can call me what you like. Don't you get it? We failed.

    Captain Haddock: Failed. There are plenty of others willing to call you a failure. A fool. A loser. A hopeless souse. Don't you ever say it of yourself. You send out the wrong signal, that is what people pick up. Don't you understand? You care about something, you fight for it. You hit a wall, you push through it. There's something you need to know about failure, Tintin. You can never let it defeat you.

  • Tintin: Captain, can you get us to Bagghar?

    Captain Haddock: What sort of a stupid question is that?

    [gets up]

    Captain Haddock: Give me those oars! I'll show you some real seamanship, laddie! I'll not be doubted by some pipsqueak tuft of ginger and his irritating dog. I am master and commander of the seas!
