In fact, at the beginning, I really didn't want to understand why the Jungle Book that Disney just sold two years ago, Netflix/Warner dared to remake it in such a short period of time, but after watching it, I found that this version is still worth watching.
The Disney version wins with its beautiful painting style and sophisticated production, full of cute characters (cute little male protagonist, furry black bear, handsome black panther and high-value wolves, even the big villain looks at it) Beautiful) Conquered the audience with positive energy and small smiles and a happy ending.
This time the Warner Edition completely abandoned the style of painting, and you even think that the animals and the protagonist are ugly (except for Mowgli's baby years). But the Warner version pays more attention to the plot and has more dark elements (because Disney's black and white is very clear, but there is gray here), the age of the audience needs to be older, and after watching it, you will stop and think about it. The shaping of each character is also in place, especially the psychological changes in each stage of Mowgli's growth, until he finally "grown up". Of course, the sensational place is still very sensational, especially the part of the little white wolf (when I saw the little white wolf appear in the hunter’s inner room, my mouth did not close for a few seconds), this is also a big turning point in the story .
In addition to the plot, of course, I also want to praise this dubbing! They are all too professional. I watched this movie by mistake. I really didn't hear that Blancchett, Cumberbatch, and Bale are the voice actors. This can only be described as a professional!
Of course, it's not that this remake has no weaknesses. If you don't prepare it in your heart, you might want to turn the stage after watching it in the first 30 minutes. I think it would be more appropriate to classify this drama into a feature film. But if you have finished watching it patiently, you may have different thoughts about this drama.
