The queen of special effects is the highlight - "Maleficent 2"
Today, let's talk about the movie "Sleeping Curse 2: The Devil's Lady".
The film title Maleficent: Mistress of Evil / Maleficent 2 (2019), alias Maleficent 2: Demon Lady / Black Queen 2 (Hong Kong) / Black Witch 2 (Taiwan) / Maleficent 2.
Just by looking at the title, you know that this "Maleficent 2" is a sequel. According to Hollywood's practice, the first one makes money, and the second one will naturally be arranged.
The first "Maleficent" is adapted from Disney's classic animation "Sleeping Beauty". In the original animation, Princess Aurora is the core of the plot, and "Maleficent" in the movie title is a powerful female monster named Mara. Lin Fei Sen Maleficent, a proper full-length villain.
The story of "Sleeping Beauty" will not be repeated. The early Disney princesses always felt petite and helpless, and the Sleeping Beauty Princess Aurora was even more so. Her task was to wait for a tall, mighty and handsome prince to wake her up with an affectionate kiss.
Now times have changed, and political correctness has become an untouchable red line. If the story of "Sleeping Beauty" is filmed again, women can no longer be arranged as male vassals in the film.
But Princess Aurora did fall asleep all the time. How to make her independent, then she could only start with another woman. Therefore, Maleficent turned into a serf and sang, and the scene was eye-catching and became the core of the film.
With this guiding principle it is easy to adapt, and in Maleficent, the view of time is restructured. The original fairy world has been expanded, all kinds of fairies are self-contained, and the human world and the fairy world coexist on the earth.
In the early years, when Princess Aurora's father was a young prince, he met Maleficent, who was also a young banshee. The two of them somehow met the right eyes, and they became tired and crooked together, and they wanted to develop a love that crossed races.
When the prince grew up and inherited the throne, he chose to betray the female fairy Maleficent, broke Maleficent's wings, drove Maleficent away, and then married a human princess and gave birth to Princess Aurora.
In this way, Maleficent turned from a perpetrator into a victim. Humans will be treacherously killed, even if the female fairy Maleficent casts a spell on it, it is understandable, not to mention it is not her sleeping spell.
In the first story, Maleficent came uninvited on the day of Princess Aurora's christening, and the spell took effect at the same time, and Princess Aurora became Sleeping Beauty.
Prince Philip, who appeared later, also gave an affectionate kiss, but there was no response. True love is not only the love between men and women, but also the love between two generations. In this way, the kiss of the female fairy Maleficent has become the key to breaking the curse.
This kind of setting makes Maleficent become dominant. Fortunately, Angelina Jolie, who plays Maleficent, has a strong aura and can fully hold the role of the fairy queen. Let her become the heroine, and the audience likes it.
In the second part, Maleficent is still the protagonist who does his part. The film's worldview is further fleshed out, and the fragile peace between humans and goblins is once again at risk of total collapse.
In the human world, Queen Ingris is extremely afraid of the powerful spells of fairies. In addition, she blamed her misfortune in her early years with fairies, and she hated fairies to the core. She desperately hopes to fight the fairies and completely eliminate them Drop the goblin.
The night elves that Maleficent belongs to also appear in the sequel. The night elves who were able to travel around the world in their early years were beaten by humans and lived in remote caves. habitat.
In this way, the main contradiction in Maleficent 2 is transferred to the contradiction between the two races.
In the first part, Princess Aurora could sleep from the beginning to the end of the film, but she didn't get the plot. In the sequel, she used all the energy that she had held back for two episodes. She kept pushing the plot. How to oppose human beings, how to oppose goblins, how to come.
It doesn't matter who is right and who is wrong, and it doesn't matter who is Sleeping Beauty. If there is no "Sleeping Beauty", let's call it "The Sleeping King".
Normal people with some brains would not like this silly Princess Aurora. Growing up without a heart, Princess Aurora never returned on the Way of Our Lady.
At the same time, falling in love is a poison, the kind of potent poison that directly corrodes the princess' brain. Princess Aurora had no experience in falling in love for the first time. She only knew how to talk nonsense and sell what she could sell. She didn't put her own people on the same level as the other party's people. Even if someone is willing to marry her, it is estimated that there is only one purpose, and that is to see the powerful magic power of the godmother behind the silly princess.
For the sake of political correctness, such an incompetent storyline was choreographed. Maybe this is Disney's high-level black on political correctness.
The grooves in "Maleficent 2" are no longer important. The awakened Princess Aurora perfectly interpreted the brainless Notre Dame disease and successfully attracted the audience's spit fire.
The main point of this sequel is not to watch the plot that makes people feel embarrassed at any time, nor to watch the dialogue that makes people feel goosebumps at any time, but the movie special effects that are not bad and the ageless beauty of the two old goddesses.
The special effects spilled out like running water throughout the article: "I, Disney, are not bad for money." What special effects to see, enough.
Angelina Jolie doesn't need to say much, from the first beautiful to the second, the queen is full of aggressiveness, and wherever she stands, she is a queen with a two-kilometer aura.
Michelle Pfeiffer is naturally beautiful and has successfully created the image of Catwoman in "Batman Returns", which has become a classic of a generation.
Peace is not something you can get by wagging your tail. Only when you are evenly matched, or even stronger than your opponent, will the other party not invade you, and only then can there be peace.
People who are not of us must have different hearts, and because of the huge differences in ideology and religious beliefs, people are always stigmatized by each other, not to mention between humans and fairies. A certain prince was greedy for the body of the goblin, so the two of them talked about me and me like glue, and it seemed that they were very in love, and the short-lived sweetness during the honeymoon was not peace, but an unstable bomb that could explode at any time.
Disney movies are characterized by family fun. The final destination of "Maleficent 2" is the racial gathering. This ending is not unexpected, but it is not convincing.
It seems that there will be a third part of "Maleficent". I don't know how the screenwriter will harm the fairies.
The plot people are full of slots,
The queen of special effects is the highlight.
