second feeling is, how did our film censorship agency put this movie in? Our education system, news management, information blockade, thought control, etc. can be mapped almost intact in this movie.
In the world of "Golden Compass", everyone's soul has an external manifestation. It is a small animal who accompanies him, and it often implies the thoughts of the characters.
Before children's thoughts are determined, their soul images often change, and they become fixed as animals as adults.
This world is controlled by a semi-religious and semi-governmental organization called MT.
The world is also connected to other worlds by an invisible substance called "Dust".
Scholars in this world have discovered that in certain areas, "Dust" can communicate with people through accompanying animals (that is, thoughts). They believe that the study of "Dust" can prove that the worldview claimed by MT is a lie, and then question the rule of MT.
MT's research is more in-depth. They believe that contact with "Dust" will make people doubt the rule of MT, but as long as the children's thoughts are formed, the contact between "Dust" and the children is cut off, and the children's thoughts are already If it is finalized, it will no longer endanger the rule of MT.
So they researched a method to cut the connection between the child and their companion animals to ensure their own domination. Of course they said that this is for the children's mental health and for their good. After being cut, the children's eyes are dull, like idiots.
This story revolves around finding "Dust" and cutting off "Dust".
If this movie maps the words MT, Dust, soul, and cut off a little bit, the storyline can hardly be adjusted at all, but it will definitely be banned in China, or it may be boycotted.
Before I watched the movie, I read the introduction. I only knew what soul is inseparable, and rescued friends. I really thought it was a fantasy story. I didn't expect it to be such a theme.
In the whole story, what I dislike the most is the concept of a golden compass that can reveal the truth. The truth is defined too simplistically.
After checking, the original author is Philip Pullman, a British, born in 1946. "Dark Matter Trilogy" is his most famous novel series. The first "Golden Compass" was completed in 1996.
Just watching the movie "Golden Compass" is not very satisfying. The worldview in this story is too big and there are many characters. When the film is processed, the technique is too simple, almost using a single line to tell. The plot switching is very blunt, and the sense of change between the plots is very strong. Many very important characters have too short playing time and lack a complete character image. This also affected the emotional impact of the plot on the audience. (When I saw Kidman watching the photos of the little girls, I guessed their mother-daughter relationship, but I didn’t feel the shock of watching Star Wars at all.) Compared with "Lord of the Rings", the storytelling method is really different. Far away.
