I have to admit my ignorance: I haven't read any books or film and television works about Tintin before, I just knew about the existence of this guy from a magazine. So today in the theater, when a kid saw a model ship and blurted out, "That's the Unicorn," I felt deeply ashamed, and at the same time felt that there would be a deep estrangement between me and the movie, and I couldn't even be like that It's as close to this movie as a child. That's the nature of film adaptations, where the audience either gains more or loses more. Coming back to read some Tintin fans' comments, I feel like the movie didn't let them down, they got more.
And what I lost, in addition to some coincidences and surprises in the plot and memory, are: I haven't met Tintin before, so I don't like him; after watching this movie, I still can't like Tintin. As a treasure hunt movie (similar to Raiders of the Lost Ark, so to speak), the plot is completely within my acceptance, I just can't accept Tintin in the movie...Actually he's okay, he's brave... ...I just expected him to be smarter and more humorous. There are a lot of his "reasoning" in the movie, such as the epiphany that "there are actually three ship models". But wouldn't such reasoning be too simple and obvious?
But I love this movie because of the existence of the captain. Here's the thing, Tintin can reason, but I found his reasoning was a step slower than ours - or the movie didn't do a good job of hiding clues, letting us know the truth before Tintin and what he was going to do, It makes me feel like he's actually stupid (don't take it personally); and the captain doesn't know anything, but you never know what's going to happen to him in the next second, what cute things he and the puppy are going to do, so I feel like He is wise and foolish. Because of the existence of Captain and Snow White and the twin police, the movie has become a dream full of fun. Many of the scenes are so thrilling - escape from the boat, booze on the plane, the pirate fight, the final battle of the robotic arm - I was so excited I almost didn't cry out.
It is also technology that makes this dream come true. Spielberg shows us another possibility for cinema, another direction it can go. The motion capture technology is well used in the film, but the most amazing is the application of "virtual camera" technology. It is with the help of this technology that the thrilling scenes in the movie have no dead ends. What you see is absolutely different from before, and the shock you get is doubled.
All in all, good nostalgia for Tintin fans, and for us, the Captain totally stole the show - start looking forward to the sequel, looking forward to a cuter Captain.
