An enduring film, a cartoon for all ages. Look at him, look at the four green guys, you don't have to think like a suspense movie or a detective movie, and you don't have to cry like a romance movie. It's just a simple look, because everyone knows the ending, and the four little green turtles will definitely defeat the powerful enemy that can't be stronger. There is a thrill of Ultraman defeating little monsters.
But in my heart, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is the best cartoon, bar none. As far as animation is concerned, he does not have the beautiful pictures of Japanese animations, nor the dark humor of French animations. But he has themes and connotations that other animes do not have at all, and also surpasses other types of heroic anime in the United States. Although it advocates heroism, it does not lack team spirit; although it emphasizes the display of individuality, it also has the warmth of benevolent brothers and sisters and family. This is a very good combination of eastern culture in modern cities and western culture, which is easy to accept, and it has established its status as a global film.
The popularity of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles around the world can be seen from its derivatives. I remember when I was a child, I first knew that there were these four green little guys in the Xiaobawang learning machine, and a few friends at home Playing video games secretly is a real joy. The theme of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles has been put on the screen, and it has become a movie not once or twice. I still remember the successful animated film in 2007, and I still treasure the genuine Blu-ray disc. This is the second film to be made into a live-action version. Although I knew that I would be complained, I still went to see the enduring movie at the risk of ruining my childhood.
Nowadays, people who enter the theater are basically a combination of a man and a woman, and watching this movie, you can go to the battle with the whole family or a few buddies together, holding soda, eating popcorn, and having a pizza in the evening after finishing, and finally It's a "Ha Wa Bang Kar".
The success of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is multi-faceted. First of all, in terms of its source, there is a scientific explanation, that is, a high-tech biological variant. Later Spider-Man obviously copied this routine, which is also inevitable. In today's highly developed global science and technology, especially in the United States, the mutation of genetic technology is not impossible, which makes every audience feel real. Far better for the audience to accept than those mysterious forces from outer space. The second is the background of his work. Four little green guys live in the vast sewer network and subway of Metropolitan New York, which is a wonderful place. You can reach any part of the city through the sewer, and you can easily escape from the city. Another major cultural background is ninjutsu, samurai sword, and kung fu. These strong Japanese elements can actually be understood as East Asian elements or Eastern elements. Let Western audiences led by the United States look curious, and oriental audiences mainly in China, South Korea, and Japan look cordial. Skateboarding, fast food, urban, gangster, and high-tech constitute a complete and real modern society. It feels as if they are right there with you and me, and we can become them in an instant.
Speaking of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", we can't help but talk about those high-tech equipment. I still remember the invincible and heavily armored turtle car, which became the equipment that children yearned for when they were children. There are also successful villains. Each version of the Turtles has different villains, but the core Schrader has never changed. The famous villains in version 8 are a wild boar and a rhino whose names are long forgotten. I think the most successful version is version 0. The story is complete, the system is clear, and the villain is also very clear. The o7 version of the movie also continues this system. After these two cases, corresponding games were proposed, and the plots in the cartoons and movies can be fully seen in the game, which makes people feel like they are personally involved in the scene and fight together.
And the four little guys have a lot of beautiful characters, strong, brave, united, and enterprising. I have to talk about Michelangelo with nunchucks, yellow headscarf, nunchucks as weapons, skateboards under his feet, thick turtle shells, and his funny talent. It's my dish, I'm really drunk. The combination of the four little guys is also very interesting and very successful. The eldest brother holds double knives, a blue turban, is wise and courageous, and his name is Da Vinci; Holding a nunchaku, a yellow turban, a funny joke, named Michelangelo; the fourth brother holding a long stick, a purple turban, various inventions, named Donatello. Using the names of the Renaissance masters saves the trouble of naming names and remembering names for the audience, and also commemorates the Renaissance masters who brought the light of civilization to Europe.
In addition to these four green guys, there is also a mouse master. The root of martial arts comes from watching its master practice on weekdays. There are also Japanese architecture, culture, and clothing. One thing to say here, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is a typical American anime, definitely not a Japanese manga. The reason for the emergence of Japanese culture is that, in the eyes of Americans, there is basically no ability to distinguish Chinese, Japanese, and Koreans from Asia, let alone the difference between Chinese Kungfu and Japanese and Korean styles. And Japan and the United States are close to each other, so naturally it is Japan.
No matter which version of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, you can feel the strong atmosphere of the metropolis. For example, in the food to eat, pizza, burgers, soda, popcorn, sushi, curry. Even once these things were madly sought after by us as children, in the form of a mad love for spinach after watching "Popeye", and a jar of honey after watching "Bears". Feel like you'll be able to ride a skateboard, jump over rooftops, fly nunchucks, and become a city vigilante after eating a crusty pizza.
The image of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was first created in New Hampshire in 1983 by underground cartoonists Kevin Eastman and Peter Reard. In 1987, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles aired its first animation. On July 20, 1973, a generation of superstar Bruce Lee passed away. Bruce Lee was born in the United States and became famous in the United States. Bruce Lee not only entrusted the dreams of the Chinese, but also the dreams of more Americans. In fact, Bruce Lee's awareness rate and recognition rate in the United States is far greater than that in China. Then the weapon is naturally the superb nunchuck performed by Brother Xiaolong. In fact, the nunchaku is an authentic Philippine weapon, taught to Bruce Lee by Ino Santo, but this does not affect Bruce Lee's attainments in kung fu and his status as a master of Jeet Kune Do.
The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have endless stories to tell, because when they were aware of the world in childhood, it was the four green little guys who entered the heart of childhood, and they were destined to love the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles forever.
