I think only one sentence.
That is.
Disney, you really did shoot for children.
[I don't know how to write it anymore]
To be honest, there is no film review for this film. To put it simply, it is a popcorn movie. Everyone takes their lover to the cinema to kill for an hour. When they see the hero and heroine in the movie lingering, it is best to touch the hand of the person next to them. So how do you write it? I can't help it, I'm good at it, let's analyze the script!
I have to say that the plot (or the script) of this film is quite satisfactory, and it is so strong that you can think that the plot of this film is a standard script model.
The first is to build. The so-called construction is to tell the audience where the story takes place and what kind of world view it is. Generally speaking, there are two ways to achieve this. One is the simplest language, that is, through narration or dialogue, or even subtitles. The second is through the plot, through the picture to express.
The former method is the safest and the most foolish, because it is nothing new. And this film does exactly that. As soon as the narrator came up, I told everyone, oh, in the ancient Middle East, around Turkey, there used to be a powerful empire. The west can go to Europe, and the east can go to China. This mighty empire had an invincible king, and he had a younger brother who went east and west with him to keep the empire running.
And needless to say, in the end the boss is definitely the king's younger brother - don't look at it logically, the younger brother's makeup is simply a traitor.
Disney! How many movies have you had of an ambitious younger brother going against his older brother? "The Lion King," um, and maybe "Exodus," though the siblings are reversed. In short, I guessed the ending when I saw it here, and it turned out like that. As for how our protagonist became a prince and how to approach the legendary BUG prop, The Blade of Time, step by step, I will not write it in detail, anyway, there is nothing to write about.
The key point of the first plot is the death of the old king, and the protagonist is framed as a sinner who murdered his father and usurped the throne. The so-called key point of the plot is a point that pushes the story to its first climax and reverses the direction of the whole story. According to the script writing theory of Syd Field (USA), this point is generally calculated according to the length of the 120-minute movie, and there are about 3 key points in the plot, and no more than 4 at most. That is to say, it is most appropriate for the whole movie to have a plot key point every 30 to 40 minutes.
I didn't count the time, so I don't know where the first plot point of this film will appear, but I think it should be about 20 minutes (I still went to the toilet in that part, because he didn't have to act I can guess it ...).
Generally speaking, there are many climactic action scenes near the key points of the Hollywood blockbuster. This film is no exception. When the prince was mistaken for a sinner who murdered his father and usurped the throne, what he did immediately was to escape! And then the much-anticipated Persian monkey parkour was staged. Here I would like to criticize, although I have not played the original game, but I have seen the heroic appearance of Persian monkeys in the game. The parkour in the film really doesn’t feel as good as the game... Okay, the movie can be filmed That's actually enough.
Next up is a fun play. By fate, the protagonist and heroine were caught by a group of businessmen. What's particularly interesting is that this businessman started a purely capitalist free trade market, and also started an ostrich racing business there... The embarrassing thing is that he Say why? Because doing this in the Persian country has to pay taxes, eh! Let's not be tax slaves (he spat after speaking)! We small and medium-sized business owners (the original text of the subtitles) should not be ignorant of your government. We must be self-reliant, and everyone who has money can make money. We don’t want your government to impose harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes.
Sure enough, it is an American blockbuster under the financial turmoil! It turns out that there were small and medium-sized owners in ancient Persia, and they were still trapped in the capital market, right...
The second key point of the plot is that the prince is betrayed by his dearest Uncle Wang, and he is going to go back to his brother to tell him that Uncle Wang is an adulterer. Okay, okay, let me just say that none of the uncles in the movie are good people, they must covet the throne of their elder brother. Although there are a lot of these examples in reality, but... it's too face-to-face.
The next process is omitted.
The third key point of the plot is that the prince fights against the various super assassins Hashshashin sent by Uncle Wang to kill the prince and his party. As long as you find the sand of time and insert the blade of time into it, you can go back to the past.
Because I haven't played the original, I don't know if it appeared in the original. But I checked the information and it turns out that Hashshashin really has its own organization, which is called "Assassin" in Chinese, citing Wikipedia:
Assassin (Hashshashin) was a Muslim heretical sect that was active in the mountains from Afghanistan to Syria in the Middle Ages . Known for its secret assassination group.
Assasin is a heresy of the Nizari sect of Islam, the Ismaili sect. They can be employed for a variety of different political or religious purposes and are a radical militant group. They are thought to have been active in the eighth to fourteenth centuries AD. This mystical clandestine organization specialises in terrorist-style daring executions or political assassinations of the Abbasid elite. English "assassin (assassin)" comes from the etymology.
In the movie, these super assassins are really awesome. When riding a horse, they will blow up small tornadoes. One or two are good players who can play hidden weapons and poisonous snakes. Seeing this, I suddenly wondered if Disney is suggesting that there will be another "Assassin's Creed"?
The next plot is nothing to write about, anyway, the protagonist and his party are fighting and fighting, and finally stop Uncle Wang's conspiracy, and then have a happy ending.
The problem is that this "stopped the conspiracy" solution is pretty neat - the Blade of Time is activated, and the prince whizzes back to when he first got it. Damn, doesn't this mean that most of the later plots are the changed past in terms of story logic? !
The 2007 "Foreseeing the Future" (NEXT) also played this trick. At the end, you found that most of the plot turned out to be just that the protagonist with the ability to predict suddenly opened his golden finger to show his mighty power and traveled through time and space to the future foreseen. . And the protagonists have said, "Once the future is foreseen, it can be changed..."
Although this solution is ingenious, it is really enough for Jin Chan to escape and escape, just like the "dream ending" forbidden by God Tezuka. It turned out that we were all played just now, by these BUG props and GM skills. This kind of IMBA situation can only scolded the director, "You TMD is off!"
[Plot BUG]
Although the plot is very simple, it still leaves some logical bugs, so let's count the ones I found.
1. Why did the old king adopt the protagonist?
Although emotionally, you can say that because the protagonist has a spirit of unity, as well as excellent skills, and even cheating and say "just because he is the protagonist". But the movie really doesn't make it too clear and logical to tell you why the old king adopted the protagonist. Well, this problem is not too serious.
2. The reason why Uncle Wang wants to go back to the past.
The movie clearly tells everyone that Uncle Wang used to hunt with the old king when he was a child. At this time, a lion (really, were there wild African lions in the Middle East at that time? I don’t know, I need to check) to eat the old king, and Uncle Wang stepped forward and rescued the old king.
And he wants to go back to the past to let the lion eat the old king, and he will be the emperor directly.
...
what? ! WHAT? !
The problem is that, almost at the end, Uncle Wang not only indirectly killed the protagonist's second brother (killed by a super assassin), but also killed the eldest brother (the current king) with one stroke, and the protagonist was also controlled.
... Then isn't that the equivalent of being an emperor by yourself right now? ! Hello! None of these things happened in broad daylight in front of their own people, eh! You can justifiably put all the blame on the protagonist, but he didn't! Still have to think about the blade of time and go back to the past!
How much do you want your brother to be eaten by a lion! You don't want to be king at all! ! Hello! !
3. The heroine once expressed to the protagonist very seriously that if the blade of time is used in a bad way and the sand of time is found to go back to the past, the gods will destroy the earth.
Well, the question is.
In the end, Uncle Wang did the same, and the protagonist didn't stop Uncle Wang's conspiracy...
How come TMD just went back to the past instead of the gods destroying the earth! ? Then why are you still calling? !
……alright, you win.
[The prince can parkour, no one can stop it]
All in all, the plot of the whole movie is stable and quite satisfactory. He has the things that should be there, and he doesn't do anything out of the ordinary. It's like fast food. It's delicious, but also That's it.
In the end if you really want me to give the meaning of this movie, I will tell you: the
good acting of the sassy and stubborn heroine (Gemma Arterton) and those cute ostriches are the only things to watch, really.
