After "Spiritual Journey", Disney released another more capable film. However, compared to the production of the Pixar team, "The Legend of the Dragon" still failed to give a shock to the soul. You know where the director looks like you cry, where he is going to make you laugh, and even where there is betrayal and understanding. This is the biggest problem I think there is in "The Legend of the Dragon".
But perhaps Disney prefers to make it easier for children to see fairy tales that depict how justice triumphs over evil step by step. But its overall rhythm is so fast that it can't even shape the characters clearly.
The prelude to the film depicts the kingdom of dragons in the world. The role of "Dragon" is finally not the incarnation of evil, and it restores Asia's belief in dragons. The film uses a fast pace to explain the situation in which the tribes became enemies after the division of the world. Under the call of the Ponga patriarch of Longxincheng, the brilliance of human nature was quickly crushed by the evil of human nature, and greed, competition and betrayal were revealed one after another. , "Seven Deadly Sins" took more than an hour to describe the crimes of philosophical crime, and almost all of them were revealed in less than ten minutes of this film, but the root of all kinds of evil seems to originate from Longya Valley. In a brief introduction In China, the four major tribes all have different evils, but except for Longya Valley and Longpawan Bay, they can roughly know their labels due to their late annihilation. The other tribes basically have no sense of existence. The only sense of existence is that they both I have always thought that the people in Longya Valley are not good people. The foreshadowing of this fifty-step laugh and a hundred steps is to deepen the audience's understanding that Longya Valley can't turn back in time, but it did not highlight that Longya Valley is the root of all evil. After all, stab wounds After Patriarch Ponga shot out the arrow, all the tribes became accomplices of the Black Demon's comeback. Therefore, the impression of Dragon Tooth Valley and the labeling of each tribe are divided in my opinion.
In terms of characters, my favorite is Xiaonuo. The director did not explain the reason why Xiaonuo became a hooligan. It was just a simple action that explained the suffering of the world. In a seemingly prosperous tribe, Xiaonuo could only To survive by cheating by selling cuteness, the trust that the film admires, the biggest obstacle is undoubtedly deception. Whether it is Namali's betrayal or Xiaonuo's deceit, it is the reason why Raya is full of despair in this world. But the nature is good, and it is another core thread in the film. Raya is full of hatred for Namari, but is still willing to forgive. The patriarch of Longya Valley asked Namari to snatch it, but Namari still has good intentions even if she wants to expand the tribe. It was originally a single thought, from cheating to doing good, and finally fighting against the black devil, Xiao Nuo used the simplest way to practice the theme of "human nature is inherently good".
It seems that we will not hate Xiaonuo, and Laya forgives Xiaonuo the fastest. She hates deception, but obviously, trust is more comfortable. For Xiaonuo, being trusted is obviously more happier than cheating.
Xisu, who is also responsible for saving the world, is still living in the "fantasy" of the world's great harmony 500 years ago, while Namali was born in a divided world and shouldered the burden of the rise and fall of tribes since childhood. Perhaps, it is the princess. , Dragon Tooth Valley, expansion, etc., under the heavy pressure, Namali forgot her kindness. Patriarch Ponga infected Raya with trust, but Namali never got the trust of others after betrayal. If Namarie's characterization was more delicate and her complex feelings of good and evil more full, perhaps this film would be more intriguing.
