This Disney Bollywood-style movie is like an American whose words and deeds are inconsistent, saying that he is cosplaying Middle Eastern, but his body is dancing hiphop. The best point is that it is obviously using the packaging of Arabic culture, and it just turns a corner and tells a story of black political correctness...
The composer and choreographer didn't pay attention to the long tradition of the fertile crescent that the desert and the Mediterranean bred together. The rhythm of Arabic music is also very strong, and the visual effects of local dance are quite gorgeous. If it is adapted for the purpose of combining with contemporary dance music, there is obviously a lot of room for development. However, in the finished product, there is no need for exotic melodies, and large sections use the European and American fast food family-friendly style, which is already exhausting.
In my heart, this film should be perfect, in addition to combining traditional and contemporary, Arab and European and American dance music adaptations, it also needs to tell a story with great depth of thought. Disney seems to want to grab a wave of contemporary feminist enthusiasm. At the end of the film, I patted my head and remembered, oh, hurry up and make Princess Jasmine a sultan! Compared with other classic character adaptations, such as Angelina Jolie's stepmother in Maleficent and Elsa in Frozen, it lacks the rationalization that makes the characters gradually plump. This episode is more like an account of coping, and even somehow is a bit misleading: it implies that the children and big friends in front of the silver screen, even if you didn't know the boss a week ago, you don't know how expensive it is, and you see people on the street who can't afford to eat. , take it for granted that the hawkers make the cakes, borrow flowers to offer Buddha to them (and do not give money to the hawkers) - as long as you love the right lover who has the assistance of the magic lamp, and firmly believe that your ability to manage the people is a roar , you still have the opportunity to become a general from a short person and become a queen in the upper position. Similar to the dance music part, Arabia has accumulated thousands of years of classic literary philosophy and fairy tales, and it is obviously a good material for screenwriters to refer to and adapt.
The film wants to please both Indian and Middle Eastern people and black people. It has to seize the tradition and point to the theme of feminism. Just like its own plot, it is too greedy and ends up being restrained, and it becomes very inconsistent everywhere.
In scoring, add one point to the attractive female lead. It's a pity that such a good subject matter and so many points to be tapped, I missed a good opportunity to regenerate the classics while doing the "celebrating cultural diversity" that the American media loves to mention.
