The filter is broken, I'm grown up

After the first film was relived on the big screen, the childhood filter of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" was shattered. But only one star was broken, and it fell from five stars to four stars.

Watching a movie on the big screen will open up the senses to the maximum, giving me a lot of new insights.

After watching the entire series, then watching the first part, you will find a lot of foreshadowing, the world view is complete and irrelevant, and a reasonable explanation can be found behind all the conditions. For example, talking to a snake in a zoo; Mrs. Wesley was eager to help Harry at the train station for the first time when he went to ride alone. She knew her position on Muggles or orphans; Harry was sitting alone in a car with a friend who didn’t know him well. He must have been very happy to see Ron talking to him, so when Ron took out the rice ball embarrassingly, he generously took out the gold coins and bought all the delicious food with two people; Hermione was happy to show her okay, just in the car I met Neville and helped find the frog.

But after zooming in, shortcomings were also found.

From the perspective of children, the unusual wizard school uniforms, the exquisite castle campus, and the Quidditch that can go to the sky are all surprising enough. But if I was thirty years old, it might be similar to seeing "Alice in Wonderland" and "JOJO's Bizarre Adventure" now. The stunningness of Fuhuadao is not enough to offset the unreasonable plot and the slightly younger age of the content.

For example: The uncle’s family was disturbed by the notice and the family moved to an isolated island; Hagrid appeared in the night of lightning and thunder and rendered terrifying; the professor used to punish the students to leave the castle by sending Hagrid to lead three one. Graders go to the Black Forest to find unicorns... Many plots have been set up to show the fantasy of the magical world, including soundtracks and exaggerated performances by actors.

When I began to carefully ponder how this movie was made, I knew I had grown up.

The thing that pokes me the most adult movie fan is the passage where the old principal in front of the Mirror of Eris advised Harry not to indulge. People are weak and weak, so mirrors have their own value. This is also the reason why mirrors were created in the first place. But human defects will make you live in the past and not be able to bravely take a new step. This is also the reason why the mirror has to be removed. The white-haired old principal said these words convincingly.

Another paragraph that made me think deeply was Voldemort's face on the back of Professor Quirrell's head and said grimly that there is no good and evil in the world, only rights and no rights. I still don't know if what he said is wrong.

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone quotes

  • Ron: [Harry and Ron arrive late to Transfiguration, relieved that Professor McGonagall isn't there yet] Whew, made it. Can you imagine the look on old McGonagall's face if we were late?

    [the cat sitting at the head of the class suddenly transforms into her]

    Ron: That was bloody brilliant!

    Professor McGonagall: Well, thank you for that assessment, Mr Weasley. Perhaps it would be more useful if I were to transfigure Mr Potter and yourself into a pocket watch? That way, one of you might be on time.

    Harry: We got lost.

    Professor McGonagall: Then perhaps a map? I trust you don't need one to find your seats.

  • Ron: What do they think they're doing, keeping a thing like that locked up in a school?

    Hermione: You don't use your eyes, do you? Didn't you see what it was standing on?

    Ron: I wasn't looking at its feet! I was a bit preoccupied with its heads... or maybe you didn't notice? There were three!
