Therefore, I don't feel much about the movie, but after watching it, I feel that the original must be a good work.
Speaking of Western children's literature, I think there are two types. One is written from the perspective of children, such as the Harry Potter series. It is written like a child's life, with a little fantasy, but it is very kind. The other is written from the perspective of adults. This kind of work inevitably has some adult ideas in it. The most common one is the sadness of childhood, such as Peter Pan, a boy who will never grow up.
The golden compass is the latter type of work. The evil forces in it try to separate the children from the elves. The elves of adults will not change, but the elves of children have not yet been determined. The metaphor in this is self-evident.
There are some fairy tales that you will still find good-looking when you grow up, or even that you won't really understand until you grow up.
