The first is about the character setting. Compared with the characters in the 09 version with "clear distinction between good and evil", the characters in the 03 version are more distinctive and emotional, and their performance is more three-dimensional and appealing. At this point, the 09 version seems a little monotonous, and there is no place to grasp the emotional main line of the characters. The most representative is the seven deadly sins - the character setting of seven artificial humans. The main difference between the 03 and 09 editions in this respect is centered on the two characters Sloth and Wrath: Sloth is the representative of Edward's brother's mother, while Wrath is the embodiment of Edward's lost limbs and the dead child of Mr. Izmi. I personally appreciate this kind of character setting. It is closely connected with the main line of the story. It not only has the effect of echoing the beginning and the end and hiding the foreshadowing, but the existence of the artificial human is more than its own existence significance. At the same time, the emotions of the good and the evil have violent friction, Right and wrong are gripping between right and wrong. Of course, it also drew a lot of tears. In the 2009 version, there was no child represented by Wrath at all, and Sloth was just a big guy who digs dirt, and he couldn't even beat two muscular men. He hurried out for a while and died. I personally feel that this setting is a bit nonsense, at least it should give Sloth some more meaning related to the main story line. In addition, the characters represented by Pride are also different. The representative character of Pride in the 03 edition is Wrath in the 09 edition, which is the president Kim Bradley, while the Pride in the 09 edition is the child of the president and is defined as the first generation. Cyborg. In fact, I still really like this character setting. Not only was it unexpected, but Pride was a very powerful character in the 2009 version, but in the end the death was inexplicable, which will be explained in detail in the later part. Personally, I really like the character of Lust in the 03 version. She has love and hate in her heart. The feelings of both good and evil immediately make the characters three-dimensional and plump, and the emotional line is also particularly contagious, especially when killing the man who loves him personally, saying: "You are a small flaw in me. ." Dao exhausted the helplessness and grief in his heart. She is a devil in love. I really like this character. Of course, in the 2009 version, in addition to being evil or evil, the section where Da Zuo was finally burned to death was still very beautiful. In addition to the setting of the artificial man, the character setting of the main characters in the 09 version is not characteristic enough and not three-dimensional. For example, I personally care about the two characters Wen Li and Master Mustang. In the 2003 version, Wen Li was a lively, cheerful and sometimes funny girl. Even when she knew that Da Zuo was the enemy who killed her parents, she still showed optimism and firmness. But in the 09 version, I basically cried 9 times out of 10 appearances, as if I became a grudge, and after knowing that the enemy who killed my father was Scar (the setting of the 09 version), I was too calm. In short, Winry became a disturbing character in the 09 version, and also lost the special character and role in the 03 version. The same is true for the chief officer. In the 03 edition, the bizarre alchemist with the double-faced flame who said, "Hey yo nai~~~" in the 03 edition, has become an expressionless "iron rooster" in the 09 edition. The role in the development of the storyline becomes singular. Of course, in the 2009 version, the two madness of the chief officer is still very handsome! ! Yes! ! ! Master Control~~~ In the 9th version, I cried 9 times out of 10 appearances, as if I became a resentful woman, and after knowing that the enemy who killed my father was Scar (the setting of the 09th version), I was too calm. In short, Winry became a disturbing character in the 09 version, and also lost the special character and role in the 03 version. The same is true for the chief officer. In the 03 edition, the bizarre alchemist with the double-faced flame who said, "Hey yo nai~~~" in the 03 edition, has become an expressionless "iron rooster" in the 09 edition. The role in the development of the storyline becomes singular. Of course, in the 2009 version, the two madness of the chief officer is still very handsome! ! Yes! ! ! Master Control~~~ In the 9th version, I cried 9 times out of 10 appearances, as if I became a resentful woman, and after knowing that the enemy who killed my father was Scar (the setting of the 09th version), I was too calm. In short, Winry became a disturbing character in the 09 version, and also lost the special character and role in the 03 version. The same is true for the chief officer. In the 03 edition, the bizarre alchemist with the double-faced flame who said, "Hey yo nai~~~" in the 03 edition, has become an expressionless "iron rooster" in the 09 edition. The role in the development of the storyline becomes singular. Of course, in the 2009 version, the two madness of the chief officer is still very handsome! ! Yes! ! ! Master Control~~~
The second is about the storyline. The plots of the 03 and 09 editions have developed at a later stage, and they are completely out of line except for the same characters. Personally, I think that there are indeed differences in the general direction and the main line of the story, and they are all good-looking. The 03 version is a little bit approaching the final goal step by step without leaving room for breathing, the 09 version is layer by layer, the truth is peeled off the cocoon and slowly unfolds the amazing face. The main notable aspects are in some details. For example, in the 03 edition, the real sage's stone has not come out until the end, and in the 09 edition, even the androids have a sage's stone; in the 03 edition, Ed's father Guangzhi or Inheim really It is a mysterious character that can no longer be mysterious. In the 09 version, it became the Oujisan who came out when nothing happened; in the 03 version, El's body eventually became the sage's stone, and in the 09 version, it was Or Inheim; in the 03 version The artificial man in it is the product of the failure of the human body to make it. In the 09 version, the villain in the flask is used or the seven deadly sins separated from the blood of Heim; the purpose of the villain in the 03 version is to make the real sage stone and get immortality. , the 09 version is to use the stone of the sage to open the door of the world view to get the power of God to gain the whole world. These distinctions I personally find acceptable, and vary by personal preference. But there are also a few things that I can't understand. For example, in the 03 edition, the gate of truth comes out when there is something wrong, and then the artificial people run around the door casually. It is not easy to open the door once. But the 03 version of the door is a good interpretation of the connotation, one side is our real world and the other is the world of alchemy, although the equivalent exchange is a bit of a mixed pass, so the final equivalent exchange seems to have nothing to do with the door. Although the 09 edition is very abstract on the issue of doors and even has a transparent "truth" villain, it interprets the equivalent exchange very rigorously.
Regarding the ending. This has to be separate from the plot. The ending of the 03 version has always made me very sad because the first time I watched it, I didn't see the last episode, thinking that the penultimate episode was the ending. In fact, the ending of the 03 version is very feel very good. The two brothers continue to work hard to meet in the world on both sides of the door. Although there are regrets, the connotation of the whole story is explained, including the meaning of the door, equivalent exchange, brotherhood, world view and so on. Of course, by this time, it has deviated from the original intention of the original brothers to retrieve the lost body parts and is higher than the surface plot itself. And this ending has been sublimated again in the theatrical version of "The Conqueror of Shambhala". (When the brothers fought together again, the tears ran!!) In the end, living together on the other side of the door should have a higher meaning than the TV version, but Wen Li is a bit of a cup. . . The creativity and plot of this theatrical version are also very exciting and contagious. The characters in the TV version are all connected together out of the original boundaries, and the meaning of the door is finally updated and interpreted. By this time, the concept of "door" has really been materialized. Closer to home, there is a lot of controversy over the ending of the 09 edition, and many people say it is unfinished for no reason. The 09 edition ends with a big group member. For the steel fans who have waited for so many years, it is at least an explanation: the brother found his lost body (except for Ed's legs), Ed also grew taller (it's not easy), or Inheim and Te Li Xia was reunited in another world, the two brothers' life events were also settled, the world was at peace, but the journey continued. It can be regarded as returning to the original theme and original intention of the story, and revealing the final meaning of the "heart of steel". I don't have much controversy about the content itself, and I personally can accept it. But it has to be said that there are really bad places in some details. For example, in the final battle, Pride was so strong, and he died so easily in the end, and there was absolutely no expected scene of a fierce battle. If Pride's death was caused by his own greed, the final battle of "Father" is even more staggering. As Mr. Zhou XX said, when he was attacked at first, he didn't fight back at all and wanted to find the Sage's Stone, but in the end he was killed by Eddie with his bare hands. It's really unacceptable. The powerful arrogance that was rendered before was actually wiped out like this. The whole ending feels a bit anticlimactic, which makes the previous foreshadowing and foreshadowing seem too wordy and tedious, and the brilliance of the 03 version. It's a complete mess in comparison. (In the 03 version, both Ed and Al died once.) However, in the 09 version,
Finally, there is the production aspect. There are reasons for age and technology, and there are reasons for personal preference for this. In the production of the picture, what I personally care about is that the characters in the 2003 version are not very well done, and Ed seems to be very short (although he is a Douding originally.) The eyes are also very dull, El's eyes are actually red, Lieutenant Hawkeye is also strange. However, the 03 version used a lot of computer stunts in the process of alchemy, and the scene was very beautiful and magnificent. Some scenes, such as the confrontation between Ed and Dante, also use a rotating one-shot method, which is very distinctive and watchable. In the 09 version, these aspects were not paid attention to, which was slightly inferior. Maybe it's because the foreshadowing in front of the 09 version of the plot is too long. But the 09 version of the picture is very sophisticated. In terms of music production, I personally feel that the 09 version is far better than the 03 version. The singer and production team have a strong lineup, and the theme song represented by YUI's "again" can be described as the first wonderful song. Of course, the 03 editions of "Brothers", "I Will", and "motherland" are also very good and classic.
Finally, I will make a summary by myself. If I insist on whether I like the steelmaking of the 03 version or the 09 version, I can only say that I really like it. Having been interested in steelmaking since junior high school, the story of the Edward brothers has been part of my life and life experience. No matter whether others praise or criticize, I will still look at and accept it with my own eyes and heart.
Looking forward to the new theatrical version.
