" Is "1/2 Magic" dubbed by Zhang Ruoyun and Guo Qilin good?"
Disney Pixar's cartoons have always made people look forward to it. Whether it is "Dream Travel" or "Toy Story", they always revolve around the two topics of "home" and "growth", weaving a beautiful dream for the audience.
1/2 of the Magic is no exception. As a new work in 2020, the world view setting of the film is very exciting - magic once brought you all kinds of surprises and protections, unicorns soaring in the sky, mermaids swimming in the sea, encounters in the woods and flowers The elf makes everyone believe in the existence of magic.
Especially when a wizard wearing a wizard hat can save everyone with a wave of his wand, the audience instantly thinks of the Harry Potter series and the Lord of the Rings series. That magical world full of charm is a world that everyone yearns for.
At the beginning of the story, times have changed.
This is not just a change in "1/2 The Magic", but also a change that young people are going through today. Whether it's the forgotten old dolls Sheriff Woody and Buzz Lightyear from "Toy Story", or the forgotten ancestor worship ceremony of "Dreamland", or the forgotten magic of "1/2 Magic" , Today's audience is experiencing the process of forgetting the past (the source of history and self) due to the explosion of technology, and is eager to integrate into the new era. This is the hero of the film, 16-year-old Ian.
I'm a weird kid, everyone laughs at me all the time, no one likes me. My family doesn't understand me even more. A 16-year-old boy is experiencing the troubles of 11-year-old Harry Potter. Dressed in Dad's old clothes and listening to his tapes, Ian has no answer to the ultimate question of who am I, where am I from, and where am I going. This is the trouble of every adolescent.
The introverted and unconfident Ian has a narcissistic and proud older brother, Barry.
Contrary to his younger brother, older brother Barry believed in the existence of the magical world since he was a child, and believed that the stories in the legends must be true. And the magic world adventure board game that brother Barry played when he first appeared, happened to be the whole story of "1/2 Magic".
Like Jumanji and Chronicles of Narnia, an unexpected birthday present sets the brothers on a gorgeous adventure. On the night of the younger brother's 16th birthday, the brothers received the wand left by their father and decided to restore the father and chat with him according to the one-day resurrection spell left by his father.
This is destined to be an adventure that requires courage and brotherhood, and finally a beautiful story of father and son reunion.
What we are curious about is, can Pixar bring us new surprises under such a setting?
Aspect 1, half a father is much happier.
If an almighty father appeared on the big screen, there would be no surprises. The magic here only restores 1/2 of the father, which is believed to be the origin of the Chinese title "1/2 of the Magic". Unlike the original title "Onward" (forward), which implies a magic wand (Ward), the Chinese translation is to put 1/2 of the father of the protagonist in the title to create the audience's curiosity and expectation.
There are so many things that a father can play with. What should I do if I meet an acquaintance when I go out, I can't communicate with the two children by words and gestures without the upper body, the lower body without audiovisual can only be led by a dog leash, and a father who has no sense of direction is still caused by An important prop for the plot twist...
Aspect 2, the restarted magical world.
With the guidance of the magician Barry, the brothers' adventures revolve around various characters from the magical world.
Contrary to the gentleness and cuteness of the fairies in the Disney fairy tale world, the elves here have become members of the gang, and they are always robbing and quarreling; the brave manticore has also become a waiter in a fast food restaurant under the pressure of management; and the younger brother It's not that simple for Ian to get Dad's wand back to work the spell's power. The brothers were full of jokes along the way, and the wizarding world gradually returned to its original appearance.
The third point to watch is an imaginative magical spectacle.
When the brothers first hit the road, they were in a bustling metropolis, and the magical world was just two crescent moons hanging high in the sky. But this adventure deviates from the highway all the way, but takes the audience into the lost magical fantasy. Whether it's deciphering the adventure elements, the plot of the younger brother Ian using magic to advance through the level will create rounds of tension for the audience, and can't help but hope that this pair of brothers and sisters can come to the end and solve the final puzzle.
Aspect four, family affection is the eternal theme.
Whether it is the brothers' disagreement that paved the way at the beginning, or the lack of fatherly love between the brothers, they finally found the answer at the end of this adventure. On the road of growth, the road of love is thousands of miles away, we must be together. Although the elder brother looks careless on the surface, he has always been responsible for taking care of his younger brother. At the same time, he is also the most staunch supporter of his younger brother. In his eyes, his brother is always the best. This is also the meaning of this adventure left by my father to the brothers, so that when the two brothers become adults, they realize that the love of their families is the most precious thing in the world.
An adventure, two brothers, three people realize their dreams, and the magic four are always there.
When I grow up, when my dreams come true.
