forever Tintin

Tintin is the little book of childhood, colorful cartoons, beautifully printed posters, small and delicate stamps, the Christmas special of The Economist, and the changing light and shadow on the big screen.

The moment the theater lights went out, much of the criticism from the media had been left behind. How familiar is the face of the painter at the beginning, this is the original author Hergé, and the protagonists in the comics hang behind him. Tintin, Captain Haddock, and the DuPont brothers all danced lively on the screen, and even the poker face of the housekeeper Nestor was extraordinarily vivid. Seeing the lifelike tiny details, the delicate and real expressions of the characters, and the breathtaking grand scenes, I can't help but sigh that the virtual technology has reached such a superb level. People who really love Tintin don't nitpick, we don't watch movies, but our childhood memories.

Twenty years later, Tintin still has a tender face, blond curly hair, a smart mind and agile skills. One day, I will go to Belgium to visit the Tintin Museum, to roam the Cheverny Castle in the Loire Valley of France, and to walk on the road that the boy walked.

The Adventures of Tintin quotes

  • [Tintin has escaped and stumbled into a room on the second deck of the ship, where he meets the eternally intoxicated Captain Haddock for the first time]

    Captain Haddock: [brandashing a bent pipe; thinking Tintin is an intruder] So... you were trying' to catch me wi' my trousers down, huh?

    Tintin: [dodging Haddock's blows] I would keep your trousers up, all the same to you.

    Captain Haddock: [about Shakarine] He was planning all of this, trying to bump me off! He sent you here to kill me, huh?

    Tintin: What are you talking about?

    Captain Haddock: I knew he was going send someone to do th' job! Me murdered in bed by a baby-faced assassin!

    [Snowy grabs a hold of Haddock's pants with his teeth]

    Captain Haddock: [trying to shake Snowy off] Arrgh!

    Tintin: No, No! You've got it all wrong! I'm not an assassin.

    [Captain Haddock stops fighting]

    Tintin: I was captured by a gang of thugs!

    [There is a pause; Haddock begins to cry comically]

    Captain Haddock: [tearfully] Oh, the filthy swine! He's turned the whole crew against me!

    Tintin: Who did?

    Captain Haddock: [still blubbering] Ah, the sour-faced man with the sugary name. He has bumped 'em off. Every last one of 'em!

    Tintin: You mean, Sakharine?

    Captain Haddock: [vehemently] NOBODY takes MY ship!

    Tintin: You're the captain?

    Captain Haddock: [sardonically] Of course, I am. WHO else would I be?

  • Captain Haddock: [During the Port of Bagghar chase;Captain Haddock is trying to grab one of the scrolls before Sakharine's peregrine falcon can] Oh no, not again! Come here, my beauty!
