Although the live-action version of "Beauty and the Beast" is a remake of the 1991 version, the narrative of the story and the structure of the plot have been copied and pasted intact on the basis of almost no changes. The film industry has achieved extraordinary progress under the impetus of technology. The great progress made by the film has shocked the audience to feel that the application of Disney's well-deserved film industry technology in this film is so gorgeous and stunning, like a magical magic that restores the romantic and charming iceberg in Disney's fairy tale world. : such as the black castle with the tumbling magic cloud, the vast mountains and jungles that dye the sky red when the sun goes down, the snowflakes falling with crystal rustling, the mountains and mountains wrapped in the wind and snow, the proudly blooming white rose garden, Belle in a pale yellow princess dress with splendid gold rims, and the ancient castle towering in splendor and majestic and the young prince who was enchanted and turned into a beast in the ancient castle and so on. It will definitely make thousands of girls scream again and again and make thousands of teenagers envious. When a well-known classic fairy tale that has been sung for more than ten years was once again put on the screen and given a new technical coat, it won the unanimous applause of the public. Except for the feelings, it is a simple heart that does not want to believe in the beauty of love.
At such a moment, perhaps many boys and girls with crystal hearts are reluctant to pierce this fairy tale dream that they only want to create romantic and beautiful fairy tales, but dreams always wake up. After waking up, we must face reality with full energy The blandness and triviality of chai, rice, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar tea in life. Therefore, we should also look at this film rationally and recognize the truth, that is-the overall quality of the live-action version of "Beauty and the Beast" is not satisfactory, and it is difficult to be a classic.
First of all, in terms of the rhythm of the story, the length of two hours and ten minutes is obviously unreasonable in an uncomplicated plot line. If you look at the usual time duration of Disney animation, most of them fluctuate in one hour and forty minutes. Up and down, there are also wedges of Disney's signature song and dance memes that are pleasing to the eye, delightful and annoying, such as "Frozen", "Ocean", "Fantasy Forest", "Zootopia" and so on. The duration, character setting, and plot ratio are all within the controllable range. Once it is overtime, it is easy to cause problems. Either the rhythm is dragged and the plot progresses slowly, or the song and dance delay is too late because of the worry that the duration is not enough, or it is the plot. The time is long enough and the plot is clumsy and boring, but how can Disney, which is popular all over the world with animation, be short on stories?
Therefore, the biggest regret of "Beauty and the Beast" is the imbalance of its rhythm control and the bombardment of musical elements. No wonder many netizens are complaining: they sing and dance whenever they disagree. Of course, you can also argue that this is the customary style of Disney musicals. This is the characteristic of this type of film. This is called high art, and it cannot be called a defect of the film. Even so, the song and dance elements in this film are so prosperous that it's boring. Moreover, the use of singing and dancing elements in some plots is actually unnecessary. For example, in the song and dance in which the people collectively flattered the second male lead, in order to show the "great achievements" of the second male lead, "The Unparalleled in the Universe", The crowd danced and sang and danced for ten minutes. It was extremely embarrassing to see people sitting on pins and needles. Coupled with the exaggerated interpretation of the original animation, there was an urge to foam at the mouth immediately. It may feel good in the cartoon, but if it is restored to a real person, it is a thousand miles away.
The author feels that he is not a superficial person, and he is not disgusted with the elements of singing and dancing. As long as they are used properly, they are acceptable. For example, the animation "The Voice of Joy" with the theme of singing and dancing some time ago, the singing and dancing elements are quite rich and not offensive. The reason is that the control of the overall rhythm of the story and the distribution of the proportion of the plot are very balanced and impartial, and its singing and dancing appear. The place can serve and advance with the plot at the time, not as the song and dance in "Beauty and the Beast" appear purely to delay time.
There are also two animations, "Ocean's Edge" and "Frozen", both of which are made by Disney, and there are only a few more elements of song and dance in them, but I like these two very much, and they are also recognized by the public. excellent work. Therefore, the singing and dancing elements are not the short board of this film, but the short board of this film lies in the rhythm and the director's overall scheduling of resources.
Some viewers also reported that the film was like a drama, it was awkward to watch and could not enter the drama. The implication is that this movie is not very immersive, and it makes people play again and again. Why is this happening? The reason is very simple, because you do not have a simple childlike innocence. So it will be more "difficult" to look at.
Finally, let's talk about the film's "comrade" issue. Before the film was released, it was fiercely controversial because of its "comrade" plot. Some countries with strong religious beliefs even banned the introduction of the film, and severely criticized it. Catholics refused to import the film. This is interesting to say, but even more amusing after watching this movie, because the so-called "comrade" plot is just a gimmick with no purpose, whether it is intentional hype or unintentional fueling, in short, the author can be very happy Let me tell you responsibly that the "comrade" plot is purely fictional. The characters Gaston and the fat man in the film, who are labeled "comrade", are just a pair of friends with the same interests, that's all.
