Recommended crowd: Ha fans/youth audience
This film is adapted from the extra part of "Harry Potter" created by J.K. Rowling for the charity-"Where are the Fantastic Beasts". As a rumor of a popular movie, the space for this movie to play is actually very limited. Although it is a fantasy subject, the background of children's literature is like two sides of a coin-you can disregard Newton's laws and indulge your imagination, while the story should be as simple and understandable as possible. However, due to the different audiences, there is still a big difference between children's bedtime books and big screen movies. Even if it is an animated film, providing an interesting story based on common sense and logic is also its basic appeal. Only movies such as Joyous and Bears that are purely aimed at child audiences and treat cartoons as infancy tricks will disregard the basic rationality of the story and the logic of the plot.
The good part of "Where are the Fantastic Beasts" is that it retains the unreliable and unrefined color of children's literature; the bad part is that as a big movie, the story is dense and detailed, and the actors' performances are not good in details such as handling.
The reason for the double disconnect between the story and the performance is obviously because Rowling has devoted a lot of energy to how to establish the connection between this series and the Harry Potter series, and how to pave the line for creating a magical world that can support the length of the five-part series. ambush. Rowling is not Tolkien after all, but when she revealed her ambition to be a female Tolkien, the flimsy of the story was magnified.
Success in the past is sometimes wealth and sometimes a burden.
Small freckles also face a similar dilemma. Although there is a little golden man's body protection, it also left Hawking's sequelae. Even can't distinguish the difference between being cute and facial paralysis. Unlike his deliberately tight performance, Joe Alvin's freely retractable performance in "Billy Lynn's Midfield Battle" is the correct way for a shy guy to open it.
The emotional drama in the film also lacks persuasiveness. Whether it is the transformation of the relationship between the male and female protagonists from hostility to love, or the love at first sight of the second male and female, they can't get rid of the abrupt feeling of "Lalang". The emotional interaction between the characters is not a natural result of the deepening of the plot, but an attempt to create sensation, divert the audience's attention, and cover up the lack of narrative laziness.
Love and adventure are two skins. The crux of the Harry Potter series still seems to have not changed in its biography. This will inevitably leave a strange impression that children's literature writers can't write about love.
In addition to the forced grafting of vulgar romantic dramas, a large number of plot implants aimed at Xia Sanlu are also proof that the entire magical world is becoming more and more secular. For example, the symptoms of poisoning are fire in the buttocks, giant rhinos who have swollen noses like male seals in estrus, courtship, and sisters who like to wear low breasts and are always dissatisfied with desires, and so on.
In all this, it is self-evident whether you want to restart your innocence or cater to the market.
