First of all, let's talk about the director Tim Burton. Of course, the first movie I saw was Edward Scissorhands. Maybe I was not old enough to understand love, but, as a rich film that watched all ages An imaginative movie, it still brought my childhood yearning for the outside world.
If Tim Burton and Johnny Depp are the best gifts God has given each other, then Eva Green is the best gift to Tim Burton. The first time I saw Eva Green on the electronic screen was when I was watching the American TV series "Purple Talk". Her unique retro British accent and coquettish and elegant walking posture once made me regard her as the goddess in my heart. This "Monster Girl" perfectly captures the mystery and beauty of her appearance.
Tim Burton is crazy about the mysterious qualities of actors, such as his wife Helena and Christine. Tim Burton's control of fairy tales and goths can be said to be very familiar, and the actors are crazy on the screen, which gives us a kind of incisive pleasure watching the drama.
Well, let's talk about this "Monster Girl", I have been following and collecting news about it since its promotion period. It is also a commercial film developed by IP like "Alice". Maybe this original work is not well-known in China, so I have not watched it before. But I heard that there are three original books in total. If the filming routine of "Alice" is followed, then director Tim Burton will only complete the first one, and the rest should be filmed by other directors, Tim Burton Dayton seems to have prepared the structure of the world view for the audience.
In fact, I am not very satisfied with this movie. First of all, its preliminaries are too lengthy. Of course, it is not an easy task to reintroduce audiences to a new worldview. The last time I remember a movie that gave me the same feeling was The Night of the Comet, but the movie Comet laid a lot of ground for us in the boring early dialogue. On the other hand, I didn't see much foreshadowing in this movie.
The tone of the whole movie is dark in the early stage, and the picture tends to be cold, but after the male protagonist enters the time circle, the color of the picture begins to become lively, but the world is still deformed. There are a group of children in the hospital, some of them can be invisible, some can fly, and some have the ability to petrify Medusa. This can't help but remind me of the high-rated American drama "American Horror Story - Freak Show", they seem out of tune with normal society. And what is the role of Miss Pei? In the movie, the male protagonist asked her why she needed an agency to lock up this group of capable people, and she said meaningfully, "This is good for everyone." Yes, people outside the circle will only take this group of capable people When monsters, refer to the movies "X-Men" and "Divergent", don't most people just want to exclude dissidents? The ability is unknown, and often human fears come from the unknown.
This group of children, endlessly imprisoned on the same day. Not only do they have to deal with villains, but they also have to maintain a constant fear of the passage of time, if they go back to a normal point in time, then they will grow old and die in a very short time. They are like prisoners. When the male protagonist came to this prison, they were as excited as they were being visited.
Well, after all, this is a fairy tale, and the benevolent sees the benevolent and the wise sees the wisdom. Every creation of modern people will more or less express their own shadow. In this film, I saw Tim Burton himself on the child who can show his dreams. He really wanted to express himself. The imaginary dreams are conveyed to others, and the infinite imagination and creativity are very impressive.
Finally, if you are here for the logic and story of the movie, then sorry to disappoint you, a lot of logic in this movie is not worth scrutinizing, if you are here for special effects, then there is nothing special about this movie special effect performance. If you came here for Tim Burton, then congratulations, I saw him in the movie, and I saw the real dream that he weaved for me that is not huge and doesn't tell you a lot of truth.
