I have no choice but to come to the film review area because I can't write a short review...

What! ? Is the rating so low? It is very good that foreigners can combine Chinese culture to achieve this step!

Man~ You only know how rich you are after experiencing the intimidation of what is lost and found.

△ There are spoilers below ↓

The male protagonist is obviously very poor, but he does not complain because of poverty. Instead, he regards money as dung and pursues things more precious than money. Because Shenlong used to be the honor of ninety-five, when the male protagonist used up a wish in order to see a woman, it scoffed. But then the sincerity of the male protagonist and the indifference of the female protagonist moved it. When seeing the heroine leave the hero, it seems to understand that losing a relationship is more painful than losing material things. (Uncle Jackie Chan's voice acting is very funny~)

Although the hostess's family went bankrupt, her father's resurrection made them look down on it all. Nothing is more important than family.

The movie is generally good and integrates Chinese culture. There are laughs and tears. It's a pity that the emotional scene between the male protagonist and his mother is too embarrassing. Considering that it is the first Pixar product to integrate into the national conditions, only one star will be deducted——

(I found the comment area to be very harsh. I have read the book version, the animated version, and the live-action version of Aladdin's magic lamp, but at most I just feel that "Wishing Dragon" borrowed the stalk of Aladdin's magic lamp, and there is nothing uncomfortable. Look. The most important thing about movies is to enjoy and let oneself relax temporarily. Wouldn’t it be nice if a movie can move you and bring you a moment of joy? Why do you care so much??)

    Exceeded expectations, this animation made into a live-action version is an R-rated comedy. On the one hand, it is a very standard Jackie Chan action comedy. There are many casualties and many casualties. The old Uncle Long is rejuvenated and continues his spirit in the animation. To a certain extent, it is "Jackie Chan Adventures". On the other side is a very down-to-earth Shanghai urban comedy, the love between a poor boy in Puxi and a rich girl in Pudong. Although it is cliché, the eight o'clock stalls of Shikumen fried buns interspersed are all very cordial, making people miss life in Shanghai.

    3.5, the effect of the whole film is better than that of "Flying to the Moon", the simple shape, relatively few special effects, and more emphasis on the effective use of space instead of just piling up scenes, making it more cost-effective. Because it was not long after the new debut, in addition to the parent-child family, the other half of the people sitting in the venue should be practitioners. This film uses props such as windows, curtains, doors, billboards and other props in a limited space, and cooperates with role scheduling, such as designing opening and closing doors, pulling and closing curtains, fighting around the opening and closing of door panels, and expressing heartfeltness to giant posters. , enriching the composition changes and injecting a lot of interest. But aside from the excellent animation performance and the commendable localization exploration, it is still a well-worn story. We can’t help but ask, can the pure version of The Peony Pavilion, which takes place in contemporary times and changes the central perspective from women to men, can still exist as a kind of placebo? Perhaps the children in the same room answered this question. When Shenlong shouted at Si Qi: "...What can be more important than friendship (love)!" Many children said in unison: "Life!"
