To be honest, if this film is made into a pure, real-life fantasy drama or adapted into a puzzle game according to Pan Shen’s line, I would be willing to buy it, because I like Pan Shen’s brain hole, plus The religious elements inside, this kind of mystery is very attractive. However, this film, which should be called magical realism at a higher level, failed in pretense. I don't want to analyze the religious meaning in it, because there have been many "advanced people" who have explained it moderately and excessively from various angles and perspectives with amazing comprehension and imagination. For the evaluation of this film, I followed the most intuitive feeling in my heart, forced to explain something, don't lie to myself, okay.
I know that this is an anti-war film, with a lofty intention, full of loopholes in the plot, and disgusting characterization. Let me talk about the little girl first. She died in the end. I have a very happy feeling, because the performance when doing the task makes people feel embarrassed. It can also be said that the director is heart-warming. The first task was just fine with the key, and the second task with the knife looked so heartbroken. After getting the knife, the little girl did not listen to advice and ate grapes. This can be understood as the temptation, but you can at least take the temptation part. Be a little bit stronger! The temptation looks insensible and makes people think that the little girl is simply outrageous! In order to protect her from being eaten by monsters, the elf not only didn't feel sad, but also stood there for a long time. I understand that the director wanted to increase the tension of the plot, but the actors acted too stiffly and it was heartbreaking! The third task of grabbing the younger brother is even more straightforward. After hiding under the table, she put the chalk on the table for what purpose, besides attracting the suspicious captain's attention! Things as small as chalk are not bad to bring! Wouldn't it be enough to pick up your brother with a chalk and draw a door to escape? ! Forcibly dragging the plot to make the captain chase the little girl is also drunk. . .
Then talk about the soy sauce guerrillas. This obviously should be a positive image. The director actually took the feeling of a group of pig teammates. Seeing that they have no justice at all, I hope they will win. I only think that they are a group of negative IQs. Please take away the bottle of antibiotics, and bury the kind doctor; please break the door lock, okay, it will hurt the maid. . . I know it’s not their fault, I know it’s the plot need, but please ask the director to be more clever, and the positive characters should be brighter. The image of the guerrillas in the back is not as plump as the captain, and even the captain at the back. The scars and the pocket watch are still very embarrassing.
Finally, let’s talk about the maid. If you really want to kill the captain, don’t you find the opportunity to serve you all day long? ! Look at that little girl, the next sleeping pill will be accurate. And after being caught, you can counterattack after being caught, you can even rip someone's mouth so viciously, why don't you stab him to death! Do you have Xiang in your head? ! Well, forcibly dragging the plot without explaining it.
At the end of the movie, God Pan actually said, "My child, your choice is correct, blablabla...WTF, if God Pan really wants to protect the little girl, why doesn't the captain poke behind the little girl so much? , Just want a few drops of blood from her younger brother, and the younger brother won’t die. When the door is opened, both sister and brother are alive. Isn’t everyone happy ending? ! I really didn't understand what role Pan Shen played at this time. The forced fairy tale at the end is even more beeping, what the hell!
How deep can a movie whose plot cannot withstand scrutiny bear? Double ending? You tease me, let’s throw a few galaxies with the deadly magic, the large-scale N ending film of Confinement Island. I know that this film has won three Oscars, and I am relieved to see that the three Oscars are all in the visual effects category, otherwise I really have to doubt my three views. If this film can dig deeper into religion and humanity, it would be commendable, but the director does not have this skill. I also made a film like "Scarlet Peak" nine years later. I heard that "Pacific Rim" "It also came from him, so I was relieved.
There are a hundred Hamlets in the eyes of a hundred people. The main reason for writing this film review is to suddenly discover that there is a post of Pan’s Labyrinth. There are a group of low-quality, incomprehensible and messy pretenders. Suddenly, I’m defending. You have the right to express different opinions, but I also have the right to express my opinions. Paste it in reference to a pithy summary:
"It is naive enough innocent
bloody but too bloody
fantasy scenes pale stiff
feel fantastic children's imagination
reality only the pursuit of sensory stimulation
meaningless Flesh
family portrayed mediocre
moralizing old-fashioned
look in the end
fairy tale just a gimmick
dark reality merely a primer
just for decoration naked and bloody rotten sensational white
gives only a brutal shock and cheap sympathy
think carefully disappointing "
