"Diary of a Wimpy Kid", a wonderful children's movie, a movie full of fun and imagination, a movie full of heart and soul, after watching the movie, I have the urge to find out the original novel and read it once , I think the original should be as good as the movie.
As a typical American campus film, the film has many elements of Hollywood youth films, such as campus clubs, choruses, dance parties, freshmen, old birds, opposite sex, etc.; but it is different from more classic youth films that describe high school In life, the content tends to be attracted to the opposite sex and sexual sprouting. The eye-catching jokes are often about the big white legs of cheerleaders; Diary of a Wimpy Kid is more about the process of two little boys from children to teenagers, which may be There are many childhood experiences of the author, many of which are full of fantasy, such as the story of the thousand-year-old cheese who touches who is unlucky. It is true that it lights up the whole film. Think about how many such whimsy we had when we were children. Thinking, the forest on the way to school is full of devils, thinking about how mysterious there is in that old uninhabited house, and finding a worn-out part on the street can become a childhood treasure.
The story of this film is to describe two little boys who entered junior high school. One has a relatively mature mind. In order to stand out in school, he pretends to be deep. The story of losing even the best friend; and the other one, who is harmless to humans and animals, thinking is hedonistic, although he has always been the best friend in action, but in the end, he is an approachable image. The school is very popular. The turning point of the story is that the two best friends started a cold war for various reasons, and finally reconciled when the protagonist voluntarily admitted his mistake. In the second half of the story, it began to have a typical preaching meaning, but for a children's film, it is joyful. The most important thing is that this film has undoubtedly achieved this. From the embarrassing scene where the protagonist rushes up to the school, to the various scenes where the protagonist runs into a wall at school, people can't help laughing and have a deep aftertaste of childhood.
Children's films are definitely small actors, and cuteness is undoubtedly an important criterion. Obviously, many characters in this film have this potential, but the difference is that many of the characters in this film are very happy in terms of shape, showing two front teeth. The little Latino who speaks fantastically and the school mobs who wear braces and buckle his nose will undoubtedly become the biggest highlight of this film. After watching it, we can only deeply admire the makeup ability of the crew and the expressive ability of the director.
If you are tired of the dizziness of the bombing of summer blockbusters, put up with the low-level fun of parody vulgar movies, and are tired of the eye-moving eyeballs of special effects technology, then it will be a good choice for you to recall the fresh children's life.
PS: The music at the end of the film is very good, very explosive, and has the feeling of the World Cup.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid quotes

  • Greg Heffley: [smugly] You're way too smart for me Patty Ferrell...

  • Greg Heffley: We'll hide here for the rest of class because I'm not playing that game! It's not fair. He's got all the neanderthals on the same team. It's barbaric!

    Angie Steadman: It's completely barbaric. This place is an intellectual wasteland. But it's nice to meet a person more interested in his mind than his body.

    Rowley Jefferson: You girls get to jump rope. What are you doing hiding?

    Angie Steadman: Avoiding the pain. It all starts in middle school, you know? You're not a kid anymore. The coddling has stopped. Kids are now separated by intelligence. The weak are picked on and girls that you've known since kindergarten won't even talk to you anymore.

    Greg Heffley: Well, it sounds like you've got it all figured out so go back to your book.

    [laughs]

    Angie Steadman: This place is a glorified holding pen. It's where adults put you as you make that awkward transition between child and teenager so they don't even have to look at you.

    [pauses]

    Angie Steadman: Hi. I'm Angie.

    Greg Heffley: [Pulls Rowley's hand away] Great Story! We're going to go now.

    Rowley Jefferson: Why? This is a good spot.

    Angie Steadman: It's a perfect spot. I survived all of the sixth grade here and I would enjoy some like-minded company to get me through the seventh.

    Greg Heffley: Is that the whistle? I think I hear the whistle.

    [laughs]

    Greg Heffley: We need to go!
