Nostalgia is a money printing machine

Yesterday, I rushed to watch the long-rumored "Transformers" at the weekend special. The original price of 60 tickets, 30 after half the price, is still acceptable. Now I feel that the competitiveness of the mainland is getting worse and worse. Watch a movie in Shenzhen. Ten yuan is basically the same as Hong Kong, but how big is the difference in wages and benefits?

Going back to the fundamentals of the movie, the plot and characters are similar to the cartoons we watched when we were young.

But the transition from 2D to 3D and CG made me feel very uncomfortable, and there is no difference between robots. When fighting, it is not easy to distinguish which is the Autobot and which is the Decepticon.

Originally I wanted to learn from the director for framing, because several stories of Autobots and Earthlings often appear in the same shot. It is likely that the human body and the robot’s feet are together. But in reality, it feels okay. good.

The face design of Transformers is so bad. There is no affinity at all, and in the original 2D animation, people can clearly distinguish, mainly by color and size, but in the movie, there is a chaos.



Let’s talk about the characters. In the original book, Bumblebee is actually an Autobot who has a good relationship with humans and often steals the spotlight. In fact, the combat power index is very low. It is basically a character who tells a joke and has an active atmosphere, often even with the opponent’s scout. Sound waves can't be beaten. In the movie, the face is designed to be ugly.



In the original book, my favorite first-generation robot is Starscream, Starscream is so handsome. In fact, I have always liked Decepticons, at least in terms of appearance and function design. Especially Sonic, its robotic dog Laser Bird, has inquired into the secrets of Autobots. And I always feel that airplanes are better than cars.



The story takes place in the United States. Of course, the road conditions there are good, but it would be terrible in China. If the Autobots have to perform their tasks at 5:30 in the afternoon, you will find the iron sheet blocked on the third ring road. The boss Optimus Prime was unable to pass on the main arterial roads in the city before 11 o’clock, and he was double-regulated.



Many powerful masters did not come this time, such as the Hercules who deformed the seven vehicles used on construction sites in the Decepticons. In the later period, my favorite is the robot dinosaur.



One is high combat power, the other is closer to the people of the earth, and the third is a cute character and a courageous type.

In any case, nostalgia is really a good source of consumption, and current movies are also from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to Transformers. The nostalgic cartoon I saw on TV yesterday is what I have always liked.



The youngest super chef in history. Besides, the music of the Transformers animated version and the Chinese Little Master is very good, but why is it not used in the movie? Is it a copyright issue or?
