Although I could predict the badness of this movie version of cats and mice before opening the film, I realized that after watching the film completely, I far underestimated the degree of foolishness of the film.
There are not a few that turn classic IP into animated CG+ live-action movies. Among them are "Peter Rabbit" that takes into account the fun of the plot while retaining the original taste of the IP. Of course, there are also too many movies like the "SpongeBob SquarePants" movie series. The younger age has led to the loss of a large number of original IP fans’ works. But whether they are good works or unsatisfactory works, they are at least not perfunctory. Even if you want to earn the box office on the original popularity of the big IP, you can come up with a past movie work that is still considered to be. However, this live-action movie of "Cat and Mouse" obviously failed to even put a good-looking coat on the bad work. It can be said to have defeated the super popularity that Cat and Mouse have accumulated over the years.
From the perspective of the big frame of the whole movie, the screenwriter didn’t understand what he wanted to express at all. The whole script is like taking clips from a series of several American girls in small towns dreaming about the big city of New York, and simply splicing them together. Piece together into a story where the audience can see the ending at a glance. Therefore, during the whole viewing process, I can only feel familiar and boring, and the pee spots are so dense that I want to live in the bathroom.
To say that the plot is just ordinary and ugly, and it will not be so criticized, the key is that a series of moths created by the screenwriter in order to promote the development of the plot can block people's hearts. Let’s talk about the unacceptable showy operation of the heroine from the beginning. In order to get a job opportunity and embezzle other people’s resumes, she nicknamed "I just want others to put aside their prejudices and only look at their own abilities", but isn’t that? Is it unfair to people who strive to make themselves better? Looking at the heroine's later "forcing away" the planning manager step by step, he was justifiably replaced by the heroine. The entire process seemed to be that the heroine did not make any effort for it. Even if the planning manager had a prejudice against her, he did not see the heroine use her strength. Justifying oneself will cause a lot of unnecessary trouble, and then use the protagonist's halo to push the pot to others. To be honest, if I met a colleague like a heroine in the workplace, I would not look at her high. Judging from the dialogue between the heroine and the animals, the screenwriter wants to make the heroine a unique individual who can live in peace with small animals and respect each species, but this idea only ends here, and the screenwriter did not make good use of it. This persona allows the heroine and TOM & JERRY to make progress together and usher in a good ending together. If the characteristics of the characters are not well polished, the clever and cute will turn into disgusting cleverness. In the end, it can only be the complete collapse of the protagonist's character.
Let’s talk about the interaction between our two protagonists, TOM & JERRY. Even though I haven’t watched the cat and the mouse completely, many of the clips in the movie are old terriers I’ve seen in the series. This can be said to be a tribute, but all the main ones The plots are all copied from the old stalks. I can only understand it as the ultimate fool. I don't want to use my brain even a little bit of innovation. I completely intend to empty the original work, sucking blood and sucking even the scum.
From the perspective of the plot and the characters, the return of the cat and the mouse this time has already been sentenced to death by me. If it’s to take care of the younger audience to simplify the plot, I can understand it, but a simple plot should also have basic logic and a complete storyline, you don’t have any of these; if it’s to promote the development of the plot, I can set up some outrageous settings. , But no matter how outrageous you can’t castrate the characters, the protagonist becomes hypocritical.
There is nothing wrong with earning a wave of feelings, but it is uncontrollable and bottom-line to consume the beautiful childhood in many people's hearts. Sorry, we will not buy it!
