Director: Goro Miyazaki
Screenwriter: Goro Miyazaki / Keiko Niwa
originally did not have much interest in writing a review about Goro Miyazaki (the eldest son of Hayao Miyazaki) directed "Legend of Earthsea", However, after reading some reviews on the Internet, I feel a little unhappy.
People who say "movies that you feel with your heart, people who only love excitement don't appreciate it", do you wonder how high their IQ is? Bring out a lot of words that seem to fully understand the "meaning" of the story, praise the so-called "feeling" content of the story, and then arrogantly think that he understands what others can't understand. How can I ask the so-called "meaning" of drawing the intestines by drawing a doll like this (everything is explained clearly in dialogue, if there is any meaning at all?) Who would not understand? I believe that only people with low IQ think that only they can get great wisdom from it.
The script has already failed, and what I want to say can't be aligned. With the addition of eye-catching skills, it leads to many meaningless branches (such as the scene where the protagonist is warned not to take drugs, and I don't know how to help the progress of the plot, which is undoubtedly blurred). The development of the story, at best, reinforces the central idea of the so-called "to live earnestly and earnestly", but it causes serious damage to the rhythm, which is not enough). In addition, there are often some meaningless turns and dialogues in the story, which are extremely unnatural (for example, when the male and female protagonists meet for the first time, the last scene said that the hero rescued the heroine from the bad guys, and the next scene is like a mother shouting The children playing in the playground are time to go home to eat the same plot, which is really helpless). Moreover, there is no scene where the characters are carefully portrayed. Every character is empty. What can the great sage rely on to become a great sage? Is it enough to have just one hand? Or is it sometimes luminous enough to prove it? In the end, his incompetence became the biggest reason why the character had no place to stand. In fact, other characters have many similar problems, but they are not detailed here.
In addition, the director's skill is obviously insufficient. There is no rhythm and no progress. When the plot slowly leaks out, he can't do it well, and even the simple fight scenes appear to be lifeless. However, this is not the worst part, the worst part is that even the visibility of the image is lacking. The biggest difference between animation and live-action film is that it has no venue limitations. The camera can be aimed at the characters and scenes in the story from any angle. However, it is obvious that the director does not pay attention to the use of the angle (camera) at all, and just uses a very conservative method to The explanation of the story, coupled with the extremely inferior drawing skills, is not much different from the animation produced 20 years ago. The quality of the picture is so bad that I want to compare it with the previous TV animation "Daddy Long Legs".
Is this what modern Hong Kongers think of as a "movie to feel with the heart"? Please don't make me laugh, if I were to give this movie a rating, it would be "junk" without a doubt. It's an insult to his father to see some film critics compare "Legend of Earthsea" to "Nausicaa". I'm not a fan of Hayao Miyazaki, but I can still say that the "Nausicaa" directed by his father twenty-two years ago is far superior to the "Legend of Earthsea" produced today in all aspects!
