However, this is also a work with clear intentions and clear goals. "Moving Labyrinth" didn't expect all audiences to enter the cinema, they targeted teenagers. Appearing on the screen, except for the demon adult in white in the last scene, the children of Yiping are pure 90s. No matter their demeanor or actions, they are the representatives of young people nowadays, and they are easy to resonate with small audiences. .
This is actually an uninspiring work, from plot design to character fate, without clues or hints, it can already allow the audience to see the details (especially those with a certain amount of movie watching experience). Of course, its plot is also very simple, there is no complicated foreshadowing, nor deliberately designed, the suspense of nine bends and eighteen bends. Under the suspense of a big framework, each character's job is to go straight to the subject and find a route to fight monsters.
For adult audiences, this kind of plot design may be a bit boring. In the eyes of heavy-tasting audiences, oversimplification lacks surprises and lacks the sense of accomplishment of IQ duel. However, don't forget that its purpose is to make young people excited. Although there is no trap of bad IQ, and there are no all kinds of incomprehensibility turned upside down, but he has played with his heartbeat in simple and rude and played with loyalty.
It’s not a bad thing to package youth-themed works by commercial means, but it’s too much to please adult audiences like "The Hunger Games", magnifying the plot of conspiracy and violence, and let little loli and super high-tech on an uninhabited island Fight to the death without seeing the drama of blood plasma and heartlessness, losing the original essence of the original, and for the audience, the first part is fresh, the second part is improvised, and the third part is boring.
It’s hard to say that "Moving Labyrinth" will not follow such a routine, but as far as the first one is concerned, the creative team is still very hard at creating a film that is accurate for the audience, and is trying to make a good one that suits them. The complete story. The small actors in the film are also doing their best to do their part. It cannot be said that they are superb and amazing, but at least everyone is sincere in creating a work.
It is worth mentioning that although the plot of the film is not too suspenseful, the tension is created quite well. The confrontation between the little friends and the big monsters is a contest of great power disparity. The first test is speed and wisdom, and the second time is the collective wisdom and strength. The conflict caused by the difference strengthens the tension of the plot, and the tense atmosphere is quite in place, even if you know the plot, you will still feel blushing and heartbeat.
This should prove one thing, the plot is not afraid of being penetrated, and after being penetrated, there is a strong sense of substitution, only to see the director's true kung fu. "Moving Labyrinth" may not be the most exciting during the National Day schedule. This is undeniable. However, the proliferation of Hollywood commercial productions has made the assembly line a tedious thing. This film may be able to give the audience a different feeling with a little freshness.
