As a dark fairy tale, this movie has a Chinese translation of the second grade, as if for fear that others might not know that the actor is Thor of Asgard. And it is undoubtedly a big failure to join the Frozen Queen abruptly (although Emily Blunt is not as beautiful as a human in the film), and it was almost a matter of telling the audience "We copied Elsa from Frozen".
Another big failure is the inexplicable plot. First of all, the prequel and the sequel want to grab both hands, but neither is pleased. The prequel narrative is hasty and perfunctory, basically relying on the narration to support the basic context. The sequel was a bit procrastinated, and several fights and the so-called winter battle were too childish.
Apart from the rhythm, the biggest problem is the sudden love and hatred of the characters in the film. Ravenna's transformation and struggle, Freya's grief and loss, this should be the most important thing to dig out, but I didn't expect all of them to be taken away. The screenwriter seemed to disdain to portray the inner worlds of the two queens in depth, and focused a lot of pen and ink on the bloody scenes of hunter lovers Eric and Sara, so "love can conquer everything" became a slogan that was completely empty, without persuasion at all. force. Coupled with Chris Hemsworth's severely dragging acting skills, the emotional scene is basically stateless, his facial muscles are stiff and his eyes are hollow, just like a big fool. Although Jessica Chastain has bright spots, it is far from enough to make up for Chris' poor performance.
So back to the two queens. I have to admit that the limited number of roles has not prevented the two outstanding actresses from acting. Emily Blunt, Charlize Theron, one is elegant and full of immortality; the other is glamorous and enchanting. From the eyes to the fingers, they are full of drama.
Emily Blunt's role is slightly more, so she has more opportunities to show Freya's inner world. At the beginning, I was secretly sent to Qiubo with my lover. The pure eyes, sweet smiles and crimson redness on the cheeks reminded me of young Victoria. After that, her lover’s “betrayal” broke her heart on the one hand, and she no longer believed in love, and firmly believed that love would only bring betrayal, and that love would make people weak; on the other hand, she still had goodness deep in her heart, which she cherished. With her dead daughter, she hopes that children all over the world can become indestructible. In her cognition, love is a person's weakness, so if you want to become strong, you must be unloved. So she took the children away from their parents and trained them to be her own invincible hunters in the way she believed to be correct. When Eric and Sara fell into the illusion she made with the ice wall and both were desperate, there was a slight movement in their eyes, and they turned around for a moment of hesitation. She is at a loss. Deep down in her heart, she always doubts her perception of love and betrayal. When Ravenna was released from the magic mirror, she seemed to have changed back to that weak and weak sister. There were many reasons why Theron's aura was too strong, but it was also the result of Emily deliberately constricting her temperament. . While she was dying, she saw Eric and Sara looking at each other affectionately, and she also saw the gentle and kind mother who was once herself. She was happy and peaceful when she left.
Charlize Theron's pitiful appearances were squeezed to the beginning and the end of the movie. I thought she would be the most important character to be portrayed. After all, there are too many things in Ravenna that are worth exploring, love and betrayal, strength and weakness, power and desire, affection and cold-bloodedness. She is the most complicated character, the character who can best reflect the dark side of human nature. However, these are only condensed to the phrase "I am the reflection of your heart" in the ending magic mirror, which is too perfunctory. However, Theron still passed his inner struggle to the audience through his eyes. Although it was pitiful, he at least knew the tip of the iceberg in Ravenna's inner world. When she finally killed her sister Freya, her eyes were empty, not a merciless and loveless empty, but a love-hate intertwined empty. When the Possession Mirror was destroyed, she was unwilling and angry. She was trapped in the labyrinth of love and betrayal, and she died endlessly.
In addition, the film adds a lot of points, it is the modeling, to be precise, the modeling of the two queens. Every appearance is a fashion show. Especially when Emily puts on a feather mask and Theron is released from the magic mirror, the audience can basically hear the gasp. I'm not a man, but I'm so fascinated.
