Can success be routine? Reality is not so simple!

It is said that movies are machines for making dreams. Every time you watch a movie, it seems like you have a dream. Because it is a dream, the time away from reality seems particularly beautiful~ Most of the good movies that exist today are derived from reality and It is higher than reality, and this "Felicity the Great" is an ordinary work that is too unrealistic~

It is said that movies are machines for making dreams. Every time you watch a movie, it seems like you have a dream. Because it is a dream, the time away from reality seems particularly beautiful~ Most of the good movies that exist today are derived from reality and It is higher than reality, and this "Felicity the Great" is an ordinary work that is too unrealistic~

First of all, this story is too mediocre, and stories about the success of the bottom people in chasing their dreams can be seen everywhere. In the story, this girl who has nothing loves dancing, so she ran from the orphanage to Paris, and then she started hanging up. The dream came true little by little. Although there were some difficulties, most of the difficulties did not seem to be. It's too hard~ Basically after watching the beginning, I know that the girl will definitely stand on the most important stage in the end, and the male lead will definitely do his best to help him~ The first and second males are basically soy sauce, and their sense of existence is weak~ In such a cliché In the story, the battle-hardened audience can't see any surprises, only constant routines. It's like a guessing game, you can guess the ending at once, that's boring~

Secondly, Felicity in the story has the aura of the protagonist, all her actions are reasonable, and the difficulties set for her are easily solved~ Frustrated, failure will not last long, and soon she will be marked with chicken blood. With the passion for dancing that is constantly said in the film to overcome all opponents who have no goals but are working hard~ Because of her love, she will definitely succeed. This kind of routine success coupled with the protagonist's halo makes this story seem unreal , This kind of story without a realistic basis is destined to be ungrounded~ It is a bit like those routine fairy tales I read when I was a child. After the prince and the princess finally experienced the so-called hardship, they will definitely be together, and this is also the case in this story~

In the end, I think the main reason why this story can't stand is that it fails to impress the audience. Such superficial narratives and successes in animations, no matter how routine they are, are still floating, unable to hit people's hearts and mobilize the audience's feelings, then the story is a failure. Similarly, this animation It is also mediocre. Counting them casually, the moving animations, "Flying House", "Wall-E", "Super Marines", etc., have all hit the audience to varying degrees. Love, Wall-E is the love between robots, Super Marines is the kind of friendship between good friends, in the depiction of emotions, good animations have made enough foreshadowing, and the feelings in the story are also accumulated and progressive. relationship, but it is not seen in this animation, whether it is Felixi's relationship with the male protagonist, or the teacher-disciple relationship with the lame girl, they are all superficial, and even the rebellious part seems to be deliberate The hardships added to the protagonist are the same, yes, the protagonist must fail once to be reborn~ Is this too stereotyped? Or this routine is feasible, but can you be more sincere in the routine? Can you not make this failure look like the protagonist did it himself? Oh, no, this failure is Felicity's own fault~

The reason why I can still give this animation to three stars is entirely because the animation's pictures are beautiful enough, bright and dreamy Paris, the Eiffel Tower is still under construction, these small seasonings and small settings are a little exciting, but the story itself If something goes wrong, I really can't give a high score~
