I have always liked two-dimensional animation more than three-dimensional, especially the painting style similar to The Adventures of Tintin, which I have not seen for a long time, with heavy lines and smooth roughness. Although most of the pictures are in dark colors, the open minds and the light and romantic French styles that flash from time to time make people not at all boring.
The novelty of the film lies in the bold rewriting of history. Without electricity, the steam age has developed to the extreme, coal and tree resources are exhausted, pollution is serious, monitor lizards dominate mankind, Paris with two Eiffel towers, and endless wars, a new world composed of these elements is constructed very well in this movie. Success, the visual effects of the big statue, the aerial tramway, and the underwater castle are really amazing. The theme also has profound meaning and regional characteristics, which severely blacked out the evil consequences of war and the rapid development of science and technology, and discussed environmental protection and ethics. And named names, Einstein, Franklin, Apollo landing on the moon, Franco-Prussian War, Normandy landing have not been spared. Sure enough, Europe is still much more free, and it's okay to use historical celebrities, even politicians, to get rid of them.
However, when you think about it carefully, there is really too much Miyazaki in the story. The adventure with the girl as the protagonist will hinder her and give her strength to the family, reliable friends, whether it is a human or an animal, slowly cultivate three feelings. Watching a male ticket that grows up together, a giant, a running house, a flying machine, the villain becomes better, the Virgin turns black, and the last girl saves the world. Happy ending... These elements are in Spirited Away, Howl, the City of the Sky, the wind You can find it in the story of Zhigu, this is a point reduction project, I can't help but feel that, haha, everything is a routine.
But I am still willing to watch this kind of story. At least it is a complete, full, and imaginative story. It is a good story that received full applause in the theater this morning. Too many movies are not good at telling stories now.
