Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937) Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937)

The name of Snow White, the earth Everyone knows. But not everyone knows the story of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, and I happen to belong to the group of people who don't. Take the opportunity to watch the AFI100 series to see what this classic story is about and how it's played out through the movies.

The story of the movie goes like this. Once upon a time, there was a beautiful princess named Bai Xue. Her evil queen stepmother was afraid that Snow White would get prettier as she grew, so she made her do rough work, wear ripped clothes, and ask the magic mirror "who is the most beautiful woman in the world" every day. Even so, Snow White became more and more beautiful, and the magic mirror told the queen honestly, and the queen decided to send someone to kill Snow White. The Queen's men could not bear to attack and spare Snow White's life, but Snow White was so frightened that she fled into the woods. In the woods, she befriends the animals and leads them to a hut. Snow White found that the house was dirty and messy, and decided to help clean it up, hoping that the owner of the house could take her in. So Snow White and the animals kept the house spotless, made dinner, and fell asleep. At this time, the owner of the house came back, and it turned out that they were the seven dwarfs. When the dwarfs saw someone in the room, they thought it was a bad person, and they acted in a hurry, preparing to reveal the truth of the "bad person". When the dwarfs found out that the "bad guy" was Snow White, they dropped their guard and took her in because she could cook, even though there was an "angry" dwarf who was reluctant. At Snow White's request, the seven dwarfs washed their hands and played with her after dinner, and everyone rested. Meanwhile, the evil queen learns that Snow White is still alive and decides to kill her herself. She used disguise to make herself an ugly old woman and made a poisoned apple. Anyone who takes a bite of a poisoned apple will fall asleep forever, and only a "kiss of true love" can wake her up. The next day, the seven dwarfs went to work, and the queen came to the hut and easily let Snow White eat the poisoned apple. Although under the guidance of the animals, the seven dwarfs returned to the hut, but they still came back late, and Snow White had already slept. The enraged Seven Dwarfs chased the Queen, driving her off a cliff and falling to her death. The seven dwarfs thought Snow White was dead, but instead of burying her, they contained her in a crystal coffin. At this time, a prince who had a relationship with Snow White and loved her learned the news and rushed over. He wakes Snow White with the "Kiss of True Love". After waking up, Snow White said goodbye to the seven dwarfs and lived happily ever after.

This is a very perfect animation. I didn't know the story of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs before, and I rarely read fairy tales, but through this film I really understood the charm of fairy tales. The characters in the film have typical fairy tale characteristics: the princess who sings happily every day, the evil queen who only wants beauty, the enthusiastic and kind little animals, and the seven dwarfs who are very different but very cute. . Each of these characters is endowed with a single character trait, which is very face-to-face. Good people are good people, and bad people are bad people. This kind of characterization is too easy to understand. Finally, I can put down a heavy heart and watch the movie, and I no longer need to guess the complex and changeable characters of the characters and the hidden personalities behind them. In addition, the plot of the story is too simple, good people do good things, bad people do bad things. Snow White sings, does housework, waits for her beloved, the seven dwarfs work hard to be kind to the princess, the evil queen is bent on killing Snow White, and the dragon-like prince appears in time to save the princess, offering " True Love's Kiss" one. After watching such a plot, I also feel a sense of relief. Such a straightforward and simple plot is much easier to understand than the "Batman 2: The Dark Knight" that I just watched. This is the charm of fairy tales. Simple characters and simple plots show a beautiful world. After reading it, there is only one feeling: what a beautiful story, what a beautiful love!

Although the plot is simple, the film is also a very good-looking Hollywood love blockbuster. A Hollywood romance movie should have the same elements, including the romantic love between a princess and a prince, the dramatic plot of the Seven Dwarfs when they first met Snow White, the queen's evil conspiracy, and the fact that justice will eventually triumph over evil. The ending, and the music scene of singing and dancing. Of course, there is the most important finishing touch of the whole film - the romantic "true love kiss". This film shapes the power of love to save people's lives. Such a setting has only appeared once in a love movie.

The film is also perfect in the dazzling, funny scenes in the film. The interaction between Snow White and the animals, including cleaning the room of the hut, and the shaping of the different behaviors of the seven dwarfs, are all classic pictures in the cartoon. It is hard to imagine that in the 1930s, the writers and directors could have such a rich imagination, designing plots such as the bird wringing out his clothes, the squirrel's tail as a broom, and the clumsy behavior of the clumsy little turtle. These whimsical ideas are rare even in modern cartoons. This film not only stands in the history of film as the first animated feature film in the United States, but also establishes a classic that is difficult for future generations to surpass.

In addition to these funny pictures, the changes of the pictures in the movie also change in real time through the transformation of the plot. In the scene where Snow White appears, it is always sunny, singing and laughing. When the evil queen appears, the picture immediately transforms into a spooky atmosphere, such as a spooky room, a terrifying old castle, and more. Use some black things to increase this atmosphere, such as skulls, black crows, vultures and so on. Such a presentation method is a supplement to the plot, and adds to the story atmosphere of the movie, making it easier for audiences, especially small audiences, to understand the plot. The use of this makes the film even more perfect. In addition, this way of expression is more flexible than that used in contemporary live-action movies, and it seems that it has been at the forefront of the times.

Finally, let's talk about the song. Compared with modern cartoons, the songs in this film are too classical and have an opera feel, especially the male and female protagonists use bel canto in the film. This style makes the music of this film lag behind the times. However, some of the songs of the Seven Dwarfs are still very nice and dynamic. In general, I don't like the music in this film, after all, it's too old.

Having said so much, in general, this is a classic cartoon that transcends the times. It brings a pleasant feeling to people in any era. This film can also make adult audiences regain their long-lost childhood innocence. If someone says that this cartoon is not good-looking, it can only prove that your heart is dead and you are just a walking dead.
