The story of the film is very simple. It is a little boy, Peter, who lost his parents because of an accident and lives with a dragon Elliott in the forest. He was discovered by the loggers who broke in by accident. Jack, who wanted to become famous and make a lot of money, caught the dragon. Go, Grace, who has always been in love, takes Peter home and treats him gently. Jack gave Eliot anesthetic and put it in the warehouse, waiting for the police to come and visit. Finally, with the help of Grace, Natalie and Grandpa, Peter sends Eliot away, and Grace adopts Peter!
The story is like a warm fairy tale, very warm and very healing, and although Eliot can be invisible, can breathe fire, can fly, and is so powerful, but not very aggressive, only in the end workers and police chase it At that time, he was angry with people. And Grace and her father, although they have grown up, and are even old, are still childlike and have charity in their hearts. And Natalie, not the usual kind of princess, but very cute and sensible.
Yes, the plot is not compact, but the main line is simple, and it is stringed together at one go. There are not many branches, which is very enjoyable. The only contradiction in the film is that some selfish people with the highest interests, represented by Jack, try to use Eliot to bring themselves status, fame, and money, as well as those represented by Peter, Natalie, Grace and his father. People who admire nature and caring have a contradiction in attitude towards Eliot.
The story itself is a fairy tale for children. Don’t be too demanding. If you have to look at this film from an adult’s perspective, then you will become the same person as Jack. If there are any flaws, omissions, and the pace is too slow, Elliott like Shrek, etc., is the world of children so real? At least when I watched it, I didn't think there was any problem with the film, it was perfect. People with innocence, such as Grace who erased the tree-cutting sign, and old father who still believes in the existence of dragons, their first feeling when they see a dragon is that they want to let it fly freely, and you harsh people, Isn’t it the same as Jack, seeing only benefits!
Peter and the dragon were in the forest, waking up in the sun every day, joking in the tree house, and they lived peacefully, but they were rushed in by a group of guys who were swept away by profits and destroyed their tree house. Broke their peaceful life. When Peter and Elliott returned to the tree where they were pushed, I couldn't help but cry. But it's still bad for Peter after all, fortunately there are people as kind as Grace.
Love, love, although very warm, sometimes it is not the best choice. For example, Mark and Lele in the Chinese version of "Late Night Canteen" are the same. Although their feelings are so sincere and strong, they are not good for Lele's growth after all. Peter and Eliot in the film are the same, so they have to be separated after all, and they have to be sad after all.
After reading it with a friend, the friend immediately said, Where in the world is there such a good person as Grace? There are so many stepmothers who are not good to children! But I disagree. Indeed, most of them are stepmothers who are good to their own children and not good to their adopted children, but there are always kind people like Grace! Besides, this is really just a fairy tale of truth, kindness and beauty. Why should there be too many settings to be true? The reason why many adults don’t understand children is that their values are too fixed. They feel that playing in mud is dirty, and they feel that they can’t make money by learning to paint... But in the eyes of children, liking means liking, not needed. How much benefit can it bring to itself!
People with innocence in their hearts can naturally see Eliot, such as Peter, Natalie, Grace and his father, and people who are very profitable and know money all day long. The innocence has long been like the invisible Eliot, and disappeared. , Naturally can't see Eliot. People who say this is also fake, that is also fake, Peter's dragon was not photographed for you to see, go out and turn left to see your fleshy futon. I think this movie is great.
