Disney began preparing for this film in 2011, using Brad Bird, who had directed "The Incredibles" and "Mission Impossible 4", invited the charming uncle George Clooney, and also selected The young actor who played the most outstanding character Athena in the movie, all these efforts and efforts, successfully created a more than two-hour, er, promotional film, a brand-new scenic spot in Disney Park - Tomorrowland.
For such a film, if we were to look at it from a cinematic point of view, what would we be talking about?
First of all, don't complain about these superficial sci-fi settings that take into account both exaggerated and naive characteristics, such as touching the badge to see holographic projection advertisements (and only those who have been identified by the badge's DNA can see it themselves. ) is how to achieve, what launch a rocket and then hit the earth can activate the portal, rely on love and faith can save the earth and so on. Having said that, Disney didn't want to make sci-fi movies in the first place. What they have been working on is to use the imagination of children to create a dream-like illogical world, and it must be a happy life at the end. world. Thinking about it like this should make you feel much calmer. Is the badge an Aladdin magic lamp in a sci-fi coat?
Only by watching this movie with this mentality of "actively lowering your age group before watching the movie" can you discover the merits of a standard Disney movie. There are several passages in the film that are indeed full of fairy tale imagination, especially the launch platform built by the conspiracy meeting of the "four kings" such as Edison, Eiffel and Tesla - the Eiffel Tower , it will definitely allow die-hard fans of absurd and cult historical films to find an inexplicable high point, and the starting device is actually a piece of recorded music. All other rocket launch, orbit change, return and other procedures are already built-in! How in line with a child's dream, you don't have to do anything, just walk in and take a closer look at this wonderful world! What a perfect, lazy, daydream setting! It is highly recommended that Disneyland launch the same Eiffel Tower launch game! Be sure to start the music!
Then, we can go back and see what the big cows who participated in the film contributed. Brad Bird was once the first choice for director of "Star Wars 7: The Force Awakens", and as a Star Wars fan (you can't ignore the huge stormtrooper in the toy store in the film), he finally chose Ben. The film rejected Star Wars because he "didn't want to miss an original film like Tomorrowland". I don't know if Brad Bird regretted this decision after watching the finished film. Obviously, the plot of the film is too protracted. If it is compressed to an hour and a half, maybe it will give more viewers an extra star. However, it is worthy of praise that the director who once dedicated us to the wonderful "Mission Impossible 4" has implanted several quite wonderful action scenes in this fairy tale: the toy store vs. the owner, Frank's family Wisdom robots, etc., are also enough. As for the uncle George Clooney, as many comments have said, the role is too flat, and it is solidly reduced to the green leaves of the more colorful Athena. As for the heroine, hehe, take it away or not give it away.
Finally, let's explore a little bit about the theme that the film strives to convey - the belief that tomorrow will be better. Today, when the environment is deteriorating and social problems are frequent, it is true that the objective and sad reality is making the world become negative: our energy is getting less and less, our environment has been irreversibly damaged, and human nature is so sinister, Morality is so lost. If there really is a mirror in which we see a dark future, can we really keep hope and make a change to change all that? This is a very heavy proposition. What "Tomorrowland" can give us can only be a fairy tale answer. So, what about our answer? Will she be speechless when asked "Is there any solution" like the heroine's high school teacher?
If you think your childlike innocence is still alive, "Tomorrowland" is still worth watching. Even if there is no logic, even if the character is blunt, you can still use imagination, careful thinking, action scenes and small jokes everywhere, so that you will not feel that your life is wasted. Finally, the visual badge figure will become a hot-selling souvenir in the Disney "Tomorrowland" scenic spot in the future, because it is definitely not expensive. ◎
