The Golden Compass, one of the trilogy based on the novel, usually one of the trilogy is relatively mediocre, and this film is no exception, because it always takes some space to explain the world view and characters, so there will be a lot of lack Aspect. Here I would like to thank the translators of this film. They did a good job. Not only did they translate the film completely, but it also seems that they have studied the three novels of the dark matter, and analyzed them thoroughly. ”, I hope the more translators like this, the better!
In the parallel world, there is a world that is described in this film, in which human beings have a body and a soul. The so-called soul is the spirit, and everyone has it and is equally distributed. Spiritual gods are mostly animal-shaped, have their own thoughts, a bit like the concept of summoning beasts, and can communicate with humans. The world view is quite novel. London, Oxford Jordan University, the heroine Laila Bellack is 12 years old, is an orphan, has an uncle (actually her father), the rebellious type of savage girl, because of her special status (well, she is the lord's daughter ), was taken to the North Pole by the evil woman Mrs. Coulter. She was at peace, but the dean of the school gave her a golden compass, which only she could interpret and know everything from (100,000 a why compass version).
In parallel worlds, there is no absolute comfort. There is a substance called "dust". It is not ordinary dust. It is a tool to connect parallel worlds. Lyra's uncle, Duke Aiselle, has been devoted to the study of parallel spaces. Existence, hoping to find other legendary worlds, but an organization called "gluttonous" does not want the participation of other worlds, in order to dominate this world, they forbid all news about "dust". But the adults are still in control, but the curiosity of the children is always flowing, so they keep catching the children to carry out the spiritual body separation experiment. Mrs. Coulter is the executor of the organization. In Laila's world, the spirits and gods cannot be separated from the body. Once the two are separated, it is like a human being who has lost his soul and becomes as dead as a walking corpse. To save the children who were being tested, Lyra used the golden compass to find a location and recruited a crew (including the Armored Bear Prince) to wage the Battle of the Century in the North Pole.
I haven't read the novel, but if you look at the current Hollywood fantasy movies, you can see that the box office of this film is not much better. Enchanted witches, Final Fantasy-like airships, and talking animal monsters are reminiscent of The Chronicles of Narnia, a typical mastermind. Now everyone's eyes are already aesthetically fatigued. In the face of such a magical blockbuster, except for the armored bear inside, there is no bright spot, the inexplicable adventure process, and the unorganized narrative technique, which makes it difficult to understand. The worldview has become more complicated and difficult to understand, and it is very depressing.
The best part of this film can only be said that the armored bear impressed me the most, although it is not particularly true, especially the frontal shape always feels weird, but wearing the armor is indeed more handsome, haha , This kind of mercenary is very capable, one pick fifty should not be a problem, the others are like witches, I feel nothing new, nothing more than riding a broom to shoot arrows in the sky, no creativity, and the appearance of a spirit It's all good, cats, wolves, and leopards, but they're all useless on the battlefield (to be precise, people are too useless, the spirits are all right, and the people are all dead), so that you can see the spirits without much fighting. That turned into cosmic dust... a bit disappointing.
The lineup of this film is quite strong, Nicole Kidman + 007 hero and heroine + the old man in Ghost Rider + Hulk, so the lineup in exchange is just an empty performance. It's no wonder that in addition to the protagonist, the supporting roles in magic movies are all obvious green leaves, and there is no acting skills to show at all. In my opinion, this film is empty or empty, and it is better to make a full CG thing. The story developed to the point where a whole bunch of people waited in the airship to go to Duke Isaiah, and the rest of the plot would not be seen until two years later, which was really disappointing.
I hope the next two and three can be better shot...
