I don't know if I've seen the classic animated version of "The Lion King", it seems that there should be no, maybe I just saw a little clip, otherwise I should be as impressed as those who have seen it, but I can be sure It must not have been seen as a child. I often feel like a person without childhood because I didn't watch those classic cartoons as a child. Perhaps because of this reason, I don't have such a strong disgust compared to the original version of the audience who watched the classic animated version when I was a child.
But is this first real lion version of "The Lion King" without a real person really so "unsightly"?
I usually don't go to the movies with preconceived prejudices.
At the beginning of the film, some familiar animals appear one by one with their cute appearances, including the sunset on the African grassland, giving you a feeling of watching "Animal World", and then the story starts from the scar.
Shazu went to the cave to find Scar and asked why he didn't go to Simba's birth ceremony. Scar mocked Shazu and Mufasa who came later. The Lion King asked Scar angrily, and Scar endured the injustice in his heart. Bow your head and leave... Even if you haven't read the original version, you can probably guess the next story routine - a conspiracy to kill the king and the prince's success in usurping the throne, then the prince grew up and experienced painful exile and finally grew up and awakened again The old story template of successful revenge, and finally the conspirators were killed by the "foreign aid" they once relied on - it can be said to be very old-fashioned and uninspired, and I don't like to put this set of human deductions of human beings on animals. It doesn't make sense to do it again.
The increasingly realistic CG capture technology has repeatedly amazed the audience, but I always feel that the technology is only the basic part, and the processing of emotions is the real difference. effect. Taking the "Fantasy Forest" I've watched as an example, the emotions of a human child and a female wolf are obviously much more moving than the relationship between the father and son of the Lion King. This one just gives you a brief glimpse of the father and son getting along as friends, and then father Mufasa preaching how to teach Simba how to be the Lion King because fate chose you...probably because some viewers The so-called "facial paralysis" lacks richer facial expressions, so that it cannot convey the original touching father-son relationship.
I have always believed that telling the stories between people and animals is the most moving, and no matter how emotional the animals are, it is difficult to move me like people and animals.
In fact, the most interesting thing in the whole film is not the father-son relationship between Mufasa and Simba, nor the love between Simba and Nana and the story of successful revenge, but the lovely friendship and play after meeting Timon and Pumbaa. The song is also the most interesting and nice, Hakuna Matata's attitude towards life also resonates quite a bit, why not? Why must be the Lion King and not be a happy pig? Just like fate chose Simba, people are different, everyone's life is different, and life is indeed meaningless, as long as you can feel happy and satisfied in the lifestyle you choose, you don't have to have Great ambitions and dreams, the key point is that you must have the matching talents, otherwise the so-called lofty ambitions and dreams are more like unfulfilled desires, which may actually ruin you and your life. Therefore, Timon and Pumbaa followed Simba to take revenge and it was very touching to see them as friends. In fact, I think their lives will be changed because of this, and those happy and carefree days will never go back. I would prefer to see only Simba and Nana go back to take revenge, and the time with Timon and Pumbaa is just a transfer station for Simba to heal and heal himself. Someone who likes Timon and Pumbaa's lifestyle can also come here... Friends are just a place to rest at ease, and they will all embark on their own life paths after all.
Simba, Timon and Pumbaa are two different attitudes towards life. They may not understand each other, but they all envy each other a bit. Is it really that happy to eat when you are hungry, play after eating, sleep when you are tired from playing, and eat when you wake up hungry? Of course, there will also be troubles, and the fear of being eaten by meat-eaters at any time because of my weakness, but fortunately, there is the invincible magic weapon of Hakuna Matata, otherwise, I will have to die of depression first. .
And now this kind of story routine is just a simple copy of the pipeline work, not necessarily as "unsightly" as some people say, and some clips are quite happy to watch, but there is not much to say how impressed they are.
