All Dragon Ball fans must know that this theatrical version is the most successful of all the theatrical versions of the Dragon Ball series. What is interesting is that my attitude towards this work is also in (from the first poster of this film to the world's release). The word-of-mouth lifting of the ban has been well received at the box office until it is now released in the mainland. Changes have been taking place in this process.
The first stage: the poster is released, damn, can't Akira Toriyama come up with something new? Frieza starts whipping Broly again! ! ? ? Book three points! !
The second stage: Since there is no information about the release in the Mainland, I couldn't help but read the incomplete resources of the gun version. The first reaction is that the fight and the graphics are really shocking. In Dragon Ball Super TV, because of the trashy graphics, bad fights, and stupid plot, my heart was healed a lot by this movie, especially Vegeta. The Super Saiyan God made up for the itch of the majority of Dragon Ball fans, haha
However, what really moved me was the third stage: it was released in the Mainland, and I went to the cinema to enjoy it myself. It may be because I have watched the gun version, this time I will focus more on the plot of this movie, but the plot not only did not disappoint me, but also really brought my emotions into the story. middle.
Let’s talk about the Vegeta family first.
The Saiyan family itself is an independent fighting nation, but it was incorporated and ruled by the emperor of the universe, King Kurd, and worked for it. From Bardock's words, it was revealed that the Saiyan family did not succumb to the Frieza family, but they had to bow their heads under the eaves. However, the abdication of the Kurdish King brought a more brutal and ruthless Frieza. Can the Saiyans still have a bright future? Under such circumstances, who is under the greatest pressure if not the king? In the whole movie, I can't see King Vegeta having a little bit of a kingly demeanor. It's either enduring humiliation or being angry. I think King Vegeta knows that he should not be able to do it in this life, and the pressure is really big. So he pinned all his hopes on Prince Vegeta IV.
What I never expected was that the son of a genius-level warrior who I hoped to protect the national honor and even rule the universe was easily surpassed by the son of a pony, and the son of a lowly blood of a mere courtier. King Vegeta, whose self-esteem was completely destroyed, finally resorted to a disgraceful method, forcibly exiled and waited for an opportunity to kill the child with the legendary warrior gene - Broly.
Broly's father Palagus' hatred for King Vegeta is understandable. Although because of the love for Broly, I hope his strong heart is also understandable, but he is still a hateful character, although he did nothing wrong. The innocent and pitiful Broly is not just forced by his father. The intersection of fate leaves him with only survival, training, killing, and revenge.
What impresses me the most is Bardock. Calm, decisive, affectionate, and defend to the end. (If I remember correctly, Bardock was a colonel, and quite respectable).
When everyone didn't know what to say, only he guessed the secret hidden behind it. After asking about the eldest son's situation, he decisively chose to protect the safety of the second son.
The reason why he and Gine didn't run away was because he knew that in order for his second son to be safe enough, he and his son had to be separated. When Gine asked him why you were taking care of the trashy kids so much that you didn't look like a Saiyan anymore, he said he wanted to do good things, not to mention it was his own son.
In the final scene, when Frieza blows up Planet Vegeta, he's the only one who rises up in rebellion when everyone doesn't know what to do. Didn't he know how many notches he was behind Frieza? He must know. But this blow was made for himself, for his family, and for the dignity of the Saiyans. heroic sacrifice.
It's a pity that Bardock and Gine couldn't be reunited with the children again, Raditz died at the hands of his younger brother, and Kakarot lost his memory of his parents because of amnesia. (Sun Wukong can't have a chance to see Badak at the King of Hell, because the King of Hell only cares about the earth, and there is no chance at all.)
The thing that saddens me the most is actually the story of "the father's debt and the son's repayment". Broly has spent his entire life training under the control of his father, ready for revenge. But apart from losing his mind, he is really just a kind and obedient child. However, Planet Vegeta is gone, the Saiyans are all extinct, where can I get revenge? Once again, "Father's debt and son's repayment." The bill was on Vegeta's head. That's why I say Paragas is an understandable but still hateful character, because he was blinded by hatred that led directly to this unnecessary fight, but it just so happened that he didn't have a good ending either. But this kind of story that no one is wrong but had to go wrong has the most mixed feelings for me.
The final ending is still very bright. It is very gratifying to watch. It makes me find the feeling of Wukong in the Z period. It is Wukong's kindness again and again that makes him turn enemies into friends again and again. Of course, in this kindness, Wukong still has a bit of "private work", to learn from each other, hahaha.
There are also many moments that touched me, such as Broly protecting Zlei, Zlei saving Broly and betraying Frieza's army, and when Wukong said "My name is Sun Wukong, also called Kakarot" at the end, Gogeta I only chose to stop Frieza's attack but didn't kill him completely, etc., so I won't go into details.
