Low cost, small production, basic pass, no surprises.

It is almost impossible to fully correspond to the charm of words in film and television works.
So I feel that it’s okay to watch the novel before watching the movie, which can be used as a reference and supplement when reading imagination.
If you haven't read the original, if you want to see some clues from this movie, MS is a little messy.
After all, a lot of background information can't be explained clearly without the lines, but the audience can only comprehend it on the spot; the
original author's unique sense of joy, it seems that it is completely impossible to recite as a narration.
And the magical stunt performance is really a bit too pediatric, so it might feel a bit boring.


[Travel Box]
The Wisdom Pear Tree Box in the original book can definitely rank among the top three in the fantasy world for the most contribution to the invention of fantasy awards.
Except for Doraemon, there are really few guys comparable to it. However, in the movie,
it is a bit difficult to make a box without half a line to show his innate intelligence.
So our cute box has no choice but to show its appearance, and there are not so many feet, so it can barely be considered a pass.

[Ling Sifeng]
This actor is much older than I thought, and he is not handsome enough, but his acting skills are good, so he is considered good.
However, Shuanghua is almost the same as what I imagined when I was reading the novel. Both the modeling and acting skills are listed as excellent.

[Magic Guild] The
adults in the Wizard’s Guild, which were originally the protagonists, have
all become passers-by soy sauce parties. There are too few scenes and insufficient performance.
I miss the thrills and the chaos in the original work.

[Dragon] It's so beautiful! Especially when it's translucent, just this part of the scene is enough to add an extra star to the film.
[Reaper] There is almost nothing left from the cuts. This adult should have been such a humane and cute character.
[Barbarian Kern] The performance is too plain, slightly.

The Color of Magic quotes

  • Death: Your lifetime is up, Rincewind. I can't hang around all day.

    Rincewind: I can. What have you done with the tourist?

    Death: Nothing. He was lured by the attraction of the Wyrmberg.

    Rincewind: So at least the Patrician won't be sending out his men to kill me just yet then?

    Death: There is a distinct possibility that he may not need to.

    Rincewind: What are you grinning at?

    Death: Oh, I'm sorry. I can't help it. Now, would you be so kind as to let go? It won't hurt.

    Rincewind: Being torn to pieces by wolves won't hurt?

    Death: It would be over very quickly. And of course, they are an endangered species.

  • Death: I think I've just had another Near Rincewind Experience.
