I am complete because of you

The scene at the end of the movie really touched me. Hiccup got out of the bed with difficulty and walked out the door. He was supported by Toothless, who had never left. The director deliberately placed Hiccup's lower limbs and Toothless's tail in the same shot. In the lens of just a few seconds, it is about two individuals whose mentality, life, or just their bodies are incomplete, because they meet each other and eventually become a complete whole. Hiccup was originally an unacceptable loser. He did not fit into the group and was not recognized by his father. People regarded him as a trouble. He needed an opportunity to make him feel the value of existence; Toothless, whom no one had ever seen with his own eyes, always Coming without a trace and without a trace, destroying the opponent in an instant, the most fierce, evil and dangerous creature in the legend has never been truly understood. When the bound Toothless and Hiccup holding the butcher knife face each other, a relationship that is about belonging and mutual trust and dependence, and finally still tenacious after facing countless trials and tribulations, begins. This kind of relationship is something we are waiting for in reality but it is always difficult to find. Whether it is love or friendship, they face too many desires and temptations in reality and are therefore too fragile. With such a theme, "How to Train Your Dragon" does not need to carry the cruelty of reality like Pixar's works, just create a dream that belongs to children, but at the same time can make adults feel happy and even moved, then it will succeed.
"How to Train Your Dragon" has no cold moments at all. The viewing process is like riding on a Disney theme park's most exciting SpaceMountain roller coaster, spending 90 minutes of absolute entertainment in 3D glasses. DreamWorks boldly gave up the spoof of its own expertise this time, and a small amount of humor is just right all over the corner of the film, fully mobilizing the atmosphere and enlivening the narrative rhythm. The character design is even more likable, especially Toothless, which looks like a pet cat and dog. Every expression and every action are so cute that the audience can't help but put it down. Director Dean DeBlois was "digged" by DreamWorks from Disney and once directed the tepid "Star Baby Stitch". This time Toothless has too much resemblance to Stitch, not only the appearance and shrinkable teeth, but also the fierce but faithful and sincere heart. Another success of "How to Train Your Dragon" is the large number of action scenes in the film. The special effects and the advancement of 3D technology have greatly improved the viewing of the film. There is no lack of romance in the excitement of flying dragons in the film, and the 3D technology Compared with last year's "Ice Age 3" and even "Flying House Tour", it is definitely a significant improvement. The last is the precise communication of the theme. Although it is the usual communication and understanding of love and peace, it does not make people feel bored. The passage that touches me deeply is when everyone knows Hiccup’s secrets but still insists on fighting. In an unnecessary and defeated war, Hiccup, as a small individual, was caught between the two camps, but was unable to stop it from changing anything.
But DreamWorks, which is good at spoofing, is never a Pixar who can tell stories. Although it has made great progress, because of the lack of spoofing gimmicks, the flaws are still exposed. The first is that the film length is limited due to 3D and the type of film. Only 90 minutes is not enough to show such a completely empty legend. In the end, the opening is too hasty and the ending is a bit sloppy. Those little clichés that are difficult to swallow are all concentrated at the end of the film. The difference with the previous part is too great. It also affected the shaping of the supporting roles of the film. Throughout the film, there are countless kinds of Viking little pirates with various personalities of flying dragons, but in the end, apart from the male protagonists Hiccup and Toothless, there are no other characters that I can remember and love. Recalling the MO in "WALL-E" that has not been photographed many times but made the audience love it, this kind of role is not found in "How to Train Your Dragon".
The war between DreamWorks VS Pixar has been fought for more than ten years. Faced with an undefeated opponent in word-of-mouth, DreamWorks had no choice but to take the box office. Now that the old "Shrek" stalker hit the fourth part, it has become a dead end. The "Monsters vs. Aliens" that was built last year unfortunately failed. DreamWorks needs another "Kung Fu Panda" to prove itself. . "How to Train Your Dragon" is indeed wonderful and humorous to please the audience, but it still requires real innovation to compete with powerful opponents. It's a pity that "How to Train Your Dragon" looks brand new, but the inside is always old. As mentioned above, even the most eye-catching protagonist, Toothless, has also been done by the director a long time ago. This time, I just repeat myself. Apart from the already desperate money-trapping behavior "Shrek 4", DreamWorks only has "How to Train Your Dragon" this year to compete with Pixar's "Toy Story 3", which has already launched an overwhelming publicity campaign.
"How to Train Your Dragon" is definitely worth recommending. For at least 90 minutes, it shocked me visually and delighted me. In the end, I was moved a little bit. For the over-stressed you and me, this is not enough. Is it enough?
