Hunt for the Wilderpeople: Fantasy Journey

Amely 2022-06-10 09:41:53

A naughty boy, a widowed widower, met in the jungle of the Lord of the Rings and embarked on a fantastic journey from exploration to escape. A small and fresh movie with clear bones. With a quirky and eccentric way of telling, Zhang Hui's body twists and turns, plus the cute language from the perspective of a teenager, which is extremely sincere and casual and makes people laugh. The rhythm is cheerful and cheerful, and the lines are clean and warm. Telescopes and wide angles capture the pure beauty of New Zealand.

Just like the New Zealand version of "Moonrise Kingdom", the director also has the weird genius temperament of Wes Andrin, grafting all kinds of tributes into his system and logic, smoothly and freely. At the end of the film, Kuanghuafan's car chase at the end of the film is surprising and cute, and the illiterate uncle finally broke his fingers and tried to spit out a lingering sentence, which made the laughter melt into a stretch of warmth.

There is also the director's calm and humorous teasing about the rules in various orderly societies in the film. The twists and turns of bizarre brain holes make people follow the novelty of jungle adventure and the thrill of escape at the end, and at the same time, they understand the director's expression effortlessly. I think the director must also be a wonderful person with clear bones, youthful innocence, and genius-like brains.

  • Hec: Pretty majestical, aye?

    Ricky Baker: I don't think that's a word.

    Hec: Majestical? Sure it is.

    Ricky Baker: Nah, it's not real.

    Hec: What would you know?

    Ricky Baker: It's majestic.

    Hec: That doesn't sound very special, majestical's way better.

  • Ricky Baker: That's not very fair. Some people can't even have babies, and the ones who can, they don't even want them.
