500 years ago, the mighty state of Longyou was infested by demons, although they were eventually driven away. The kingdom of Longyou has since split into five tribes: Dragon Tail, Dragon Claw, Dragon Spine, Dragon Teeth and Dragon Heart.
Trust is the theme that runs through The Legend of the Dragon . On the whole, it is a fairly decent fairy tale. It encounters difficulties in the early stage, grows through tempering in the middle stage, and finally reunites. It's just this fairy tale, after all, it's just a fairy tale, too far from reality.
six stages
For hundreds of years, in order to obtain the legendary dragon ball and thus monopolize the remaining dragon magic, the five tribes have been enemies with each other.
Several tribes were introduced from the protagonist Raya
Dragon Tail Tribe: Living in the hot desert, they are a group of cunning mercenaries who like to play tricks.
Dragon Claw Tribe: A floating market known for fast trade, and their warriors are even faster
Dragon's Back Tribe: Living in the cold bamboo forest, they are guarded by unusually burly warriors and their giant axes
Dragon Tooth Tribe: Angry assassins and their angrier cats protect this tribe
Dragon Heart Tribe: Has the most powerful weapon and is responsible for taking care of Dragon Ball
"They are our enemies just because they think the magic of Dragon Ball has brought us prosperity." Facing hundreds of years of fighting, the protagonist Raya's father believes that if they can't stop fighting and trust each other again, sooner or later everyone will destroy each other.
To highlight the theme of "trust", the film uses six stages.
The first stage
Raya's father gathers the other four tribes to the Dragon Heart Tribe, trying to convince them to reunite.
As a result, little Raya felt the first betrayal in her life. The Dragon Ball was also smashed into five pieces in the battle, and the people of the five tribes each took a small piece.
Losing the suppression of Dragon Ball, the former demon returned, Raya's father was petrified, and only Raya escaped from the Dragon Heart Tribe.
second stage
Raya awakens the legendary dragon Shisu, and then a deep friendship is established between one person and one dragon. On the way to collect Dragon Ball fragments, Raya also met a little baby girl, a tanuki, a little boy, and a rough uncle.
The third phase
Shisu told Raya the truth: it wasn't him that saved the world at the beginning, but the other dragons pooled their powers together to defeat the demon.
fourth stage
Raya hopes to reconnect with Namali and bring Shisu to meet her. It's a pity that Namali once again failed Raya's trust and even directly led to Shisu's death.
Stage 5
The people who lost Shisu could only face the invasion of the devil alone. At the last moment, Raya decided to trust Namali again. The group of Raya who handed over the dragon ball fragments to Namali were soon turned into stone statues, and this time Namali lived up to everyone's trust.
Stage 6
The people and the dragon tribe who recovered from the stone statue decided to rebuild the state of Longyou with the Dragon Heart Tribe. So far, the movie has ushered in a happy ending.
If you don't get into it, this movie is a good idea. But a movie that can't stand up to scrutiny can't be called a good work after all.
Raya and Namali's friendship
The movie ends with Namali's hand saving the world, which seems to have washed her white, but the washing is too blunt.
Let's see what Namali did before:
Betrayed Raya for the first time, which led to the exposure of the dragon ball, and finally the dragon ball was broken. Then the demon was released again, and the entire Dragon Heart tribe was petrified.
The second betrayal of Raya resulted in Shisu's death. Given the circumstances at the time, Xisu, as the only remaining dragon, could be said to be the hope of the whole village. It was because of Raya's blind trust that the world was almost destroyed.
Two betrayals and two painful lessons, Raya still did not learn well. In the end, I chose to trust Namali. Should this say Laja is stupid or stupid? I don't know what happens when you are cheated twice by your friends and pay a heavy price, anyway, I will not give him a third chance to cheat me.
Generally speaking, if you want to save a character in the later stage, you need to set up relevant plots in the front, such as situations where she saves people or can reflect other good characters, so that the audience will feel that this person is also worthy of being saved . But not in this show, which leads the audience to feel that Namali is not so worth saving.
happy ending
The movie tells us at the beginning that the five tribes have fought each other for hundreds of years in order to compete for Dragon Balls. How many battles were fought and how many people died during such a long period of time, I haven't said, but there are definitely. It's not just a contradiction between Dragon Ball, but a bloody feud. But in order to force a happy ending, the movie actually made everyone come to the Dragon Heart Tribe, which is a bit too childish.
See how it's handled in other animations. For example, in "Naruto", after the combined army of ninjas defeated Otsutsuki, each village ushered in a period of peaceful development. However, the enmity between the villages cannot be eliminated, and the most is to maintain the surface peace. To put aside prejudice and merge together, this is absolutely impossible. In "Legend of Finding the Dragon", not only did it do this, but it was also very perfunctory.
If peace can be achieved by slogans, there will be utopias everywhere.
