With the improvement of the age and appreciation quality of cartoon audiences, people not only pay attention to the pictures, but also start to hope that the intention of cartoons is to remain "seamless" (the pursuit of truth, goodness and beauty), giving them the courage to see through the world and giving them life. Enlighten, or at least give people some new ideas. The outstanding successes in this regard include: "Shrek", the Sleeping Beauty and Shrek turned into a green monster after a affectionate kiss, challenging the stereotypes of the frog turning into a prince and Cinderella turning into a princess; "Invincible Destruction King" I warn people that maybe the villain is the disadvantaged group in the prejudice; in "Frozen", the prince becomes a deliberate king, but it is the man who can give the princess true love. These animations challenge people’s common sense or prejudice, not only give people refreshing feelings, but also prompt people to reflect deeply. Fairy tales actually use children’s mouth to express human’s innate greed for beauty, rights, and money. . In fairy tales they are beautified as kindness, magic and crystal shoes (no matter how beautiful and kind Cinderella is, she needs a pair of luxurious shoes to attract the prince). Only when they appear as children, can people express their obsession with all this unscrupulously. These obsessions were faithfully presented by Disney's early animations. It can be said that this is also a kind of beautifully packaged "Mary Crisp".
This is the reason why the picture of "Dragon Master" is good, but the intention is not clever.
The whole story of the Dragon Master can be said that I happened in a parallel world in ancient times. The biggest problem in this world is the conflict between the two races of human and dragon when they are surviving. As the highest poles in the food chain, how the two compete and cooperate is an interesting and worthy question.
In such an earth-shattering fantasy world, the biggest conflict and contradiction is how humans and dragons coexist. However, "Royal Dragon Master" directly tells us a conclusion that does not require a grand description-"Royal Dragon". This word embodies the entire relationship between humans and dragons, and makes the audience lose the huge and unpredictable world in this coexistence of humans and dragons. The desire to explore many unresolved issues.
Is it to describe the contradiction between how people and dragons coexist in scarcity, or the contradiction between how people and people choose different ways of living? Yulong master chose the latter which is better handled. This has long been reflected in the word "Yu", which interprets the main relationship between man and dragon in this time and space. The rest is the contradiction between people. Then the biggest gimmick of the movie-the coexistence of man and dragon-became the bleak background of the male protagonist doing task upgrades and transforming from male cock silk to male god. The film did not attempt to explore how the two big races, humans and dragons, achieve a balance between killing and cooperation.
Maybe this question is too cruel for animated films. At the end of "Dragon Master 1", nightmare shed its automatic tail wing, expressing that it would gladly accept the control of the male protagonist. As early as this episode, I was disappointed with the entire series of "The Dragon". The unruly creature like the dragon has become a pet like a cat, a dog, and a dog, turning the original grand background into a fairy tale-like obscenity, implying people's desire to conquer other species and the pursuit of power. Sadly, the dragons even expressed their willingness to accept it.
The shortcomings of intention make "The Dragon Master" destined to be a good-looking but not great animated film.
