Tribute to the imagination of childhood

The reason why I gave this film 5 stars is because, in my opinion, this film is like "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy", which is full of tribute to children's imagination.

In children’s eyesight, everything is driven by vitality. A stone can be imagined as an elephant or a train, and a pattern can be imagined as a scary old monster... They stare at what is regarded as "normal" by adults, and are Adventure in your own world.

This film gives the adventure a logical start-Pharaoh's writing board. The magical writing board revives everything in the museum. This is a "logical" beginning, and at the same time, it is also the first major failure of the film. This vulgar beginning once taught adults a truth: No matter how ridiculous things are thrown into the basket of the pyramid and the pharaoh, they can be accepted by adults.

But is it necessary?
Since you want to make an imaginative film, why use "logic-adult's patent" to limit yourself?

The purpose of an adult visiting a museum is purely utilitarian, and only wants to "get knowledge." They don’t think: Can I hunt with wild people? Can I participate in the Civil War? Can I play chess with Roosevelt? Can I be king on the African grasslands? Adults use "logic" to beat their imagination.
In this film, imagination is once again resurrected in the form of movies. This is why I give 5 stars. There are almost no children's imaginations in the current film!

The second major failure of the film is the ending. Under the protagonist's "wise leadership", the museum character defeated the thieves and regained the writing board. The protagonist was fired by the curator, but unexpectedly discovered that the museum had changed from its former desertedness. When night comes, the scene of war has also become a big party of "harmonious society".
A typical Hollywood reunion ending. The director's imagination can't resist a thing called habit.

If I come to the end of the filming, it should be like this: In the evening, the characters are all resurrected, and the protagonist delivers a speech, to the effect that after the cooperation and struggle, everyone should forge a deep friendship and stop fighting in the future. As soon as the voice fell, the characters started their own war again, and the protagonist still has to fight the fire everywhere~~~

It seems that this is also a familiar bridge, no way, I am an adult.
