Saw it yesterday and was very disappointed.
Of course, from the beauty of the fight and the brilliance of the action, some would disagree. But I'm talking about the plot.
As the first batch of mainland children who came into contact with Dragon Ball in the early 1990s, "Dragon Ball" was my childhood dream. Whenever I recall my childhood, in the summer vacation in the midsummer, I went to the Children's Palace to read the comics of "Dragon Ball", or secretly circulated the comics of Dragon Ball in the classroom, which became a wonderful scenery with vivid sight...
From Wukong meeting Bulma, to training with Turtle Immortal, to participating in the World Martial Arts Conference, to encountering Piccolo, to fighting Vegeta, to going to Namek and defeating Frieza, to Trunks from In the future, the era of cyborgs was predicted, finally met Sharu, Wukong died, and Gohan defeated Sharu...
I was so impressed with this series of hearty stories and fights that I couldn't help but immerse myself in it. Beautiful story, great graphics and imaginative plot. After the victory over Sharu, Dragon Ball ushered in a new story, but my interest came to an abrupt end.
I grew up and left the world of Dragon Ball.
More than 20 years have passed.
Until I saw the movie poster again.
Wukong, the hero of the year, stood on the top of the mountains with a red stick in hand. Iconic hairstyle, cold wind blowing hair and girdle, determined eyes, pursed lips.
It is said that this is a film by Lao Bird (Aki Toriyama) himself. Without thinking about it, I paid for my feelings and walked into the theater.
The story at the beginning was satisfactory. It explains the tragic fate of Planet Vegeta and the reason why Goku and Vegeta left their home planet. Especially the death of Wukong's father in battle is very tragic. This is probably already in the old bird's conception.
But later, in only 30 seconds, the plot I had seen was swept away, and the timeline jumped directly to an unfamiliar future.
Frieza, the villain who had long been cut to pieces by Trunks and turned to ashes is back, and he was about to say "I, Hu Hansan, is back!" Under such a bad setting, before Planet Vegeta was destroyed The foreshadowing that was buried - Broly, appeared and became Frieza's mercenary.
Next, Goku and Vegeta save the earth.
Of course, there are also props - Dragon Balls.
Of course, saving the earth is the most important thing, and Dragon Ball has become a cover, because both sides are very willful: one wants Dragon Ball to realize his wish to be 5 years younger, and the other wants Dragon Ball to make him 5 cm taller.
Under the urging of this ridiculous desire, the classic fight began. Of course, in the eyes of the Japanese, the reason for the fight is not important, what matters is the pure nature of the fight.
The college students in the seats in front of me watched the fight so intently that they forgot to fan their fans. And I just feel that the eyes and ears are overloaded, which is the difference of age. If I go back to my childhood, these dazzling images and unbearable screams and soundtracks should be my best baptism.
During the dozens of minutes of fighting that tortured me, Goku changed several colors, and he and Vegeta also completed a funny fit. After defeating Sharu, the Dragon Ball world that continued to expand has long ceased to be attractive to me, who was absent when I entered adolescence. I guessed the origin of the strange characters who appeared around Sun Wukong. After watching Sun Wukong from Super Saiyan, he continued to transform into super body of various colors.
In the end, the appearance of Shenlong resolved the battle between Broly and Gogeta. In the sympathy of each other, Sun Wukong went to the desolate planet to visit Broly, who was still ignorant. The film ended in a peaceful atmosphere of turning enemies into friends. And what I got, in addition to the drowsy discomfort, was the memory of the dragon ball in my heart, the sadness that has gradually drifted away.
If fighting, or fighting, is the nature of Saiyans, then, in childhood, Dragon Ball just satisfied a boy's instinct to fight. But when the boy became a man, he realized that there is no battlefield in this world. Survival is more about compromise, surrender and self-relief. That way we don't get scarred, what a painful realization!
Anyway, this movie brought me back to the simple world of doing things whenever I disagree. In the fairy tale world where good and evil are incompatible, the sincere feelings of those heroes and those immature funny clips all brought me back to my childhood. Like Broly, I've been in a battle scarred by unknowing that I'm just a used puppet, the embodiment of a long-lost, annihilated dream! Such a life, how simple, how far away. And the story of Dragon Ball, only because of its simplicity and remoteness, has become an immortal classic in this real world far away from battle and revenge, and it has become an unfading dream for every boy growing up!
