The whole chapter of the magical transformation is private goods - "Superman: The Red Son"

Today, let's talk about the movie "Superman: Red Son".

Title Superman: Red Son (2020), alias Superman: Child.

Many of DC's comics have been regarded as masterpieces by fans. The foreign media CBR once rated the 100 best beautiful comic stories in history. Seven of the top 10 are from DC, and "Red Son" ranks 78th among them.

And DC live-action movies have never been able to stand up, the audience can only turn their attention to DC's animated movies, and have high hopes for DC's animated movies. Under normal circumstances, DC's animated films live up to expectations, taking into account both entertainment and depth of thought.

It has long been rumored that "Superman: Son of Red" will be adapted into an animated film. After the combination of the above two backgrounds, everyone is looking forward to this film.

After watching "Superman: Red Son", I can tell you responsibly that this time DC's animated film was screwed up.

The original "Superman: Son of Red" is like a high-scoring answer. As long as the screenwriter and director are not bad, they can express the original in the original way, even if they make a moving comic, the effect will not be bad.

When seeing the title of "Superman: Red Son", everyone's first reaction must be that this is another nonsense cartoon of the old American fictional Superman Soviet identity. But in fact, the cartoon is not about the ideological struggle between capitalist countries and socialist countries.

The ideology of the comic "Superman: The Red Son" is far beyond the era of the Cold War. Superman's red identity is not just an exchange of comic character identities, but a profound discussion of the relationship between utopia and free will. When opposing a totalitarian society, we unconsciously move towards another totalitarian society.

But this animated version takes the shape of "Son of Red". Western ideology has become the only antidote to save the world, while non-Western ideology is poisonous and has been smeared and smeared endlessly.

But in this adaptation of the film, in order to improve the entertainment of the film, the screenwriter and director drastically changed the original setting, completely changed Superman's starting point and behavior style, and entrained a large number of low-quality private goods. His family pulled down the altar.

The animated version of "Superman: Red Son" does not simplify the plot in terms of plot adaptation, but distorts the plot.

Seriously speaking, joking is not nonsense, Liu Sam is to apologize for playing like this.

It is recommended that viewers who have not read the "Superman: Red Son" comics read the comics. "Superman: Red Son" also launched a dynamic comic, which is only 60 minutes long. There is a source of dynamic comics at station B, and the audience will understand the true plot of the original work and experience the subtleties of it.

The original intention of Superman's behavior in the comics is very understandable. He originally had no appeal for power, but countless suffering people pushed him to the position of leader. He was busy improving the national economy and people's livelihood by himself like an old scalper. During this process, he also realized that he could sacrifice some small righteousness for the sake of righteousness, and gradually understood the practices of his predecessors.

Seeing that Utopia is getting more and more complete, problems will follow. There will always be some people who want to do things. Opposition forces from home and abroad have not stopped subverting for a moment. The alien artificial intelligence Brainiac incarnates the thought police and becomes the biggest enemy of the people's free will. The contradiction between the two became increasingly acute, and even knocked Superman down for a while.

While Superman was busy putting out fires in his backyard, the United States on the other side, led by Luthor, entered another form of totalitarian society. Luthor regards defeating Superman as his greatest goal in life. With the rise of populism, Luthor fuels the fire and kills people. The identity of the superhuman alien has become the biggest original sin.

In addition, there is a god reversal at the end of "Superman: Son of Red", which is the same as the development of a totalitarian society. At the end, the origin of Superman's weakness is revealed, coupled with a strong fatalism, the screen is full of a strong sense of irony.

As great as the original manga is, how bad is the adaptation of the movie.

In the movie version, a large number of private goods were directly entrained. Superman was used as a gunman, "found" the Soviet black prison, and met his former childhood sweetheart in the prison. new leader.

In the comics, Superman encounters childhood sweethearts who line up for relief bread and more poor people, which makes Superman, who has no desire for power, make up his mind to improve the living conditions of the general public.

The root is crooked, and the back is completely broken. From the root, the movie version changed Superman into a totalitarian, and the betrayal of Peter encountered later also turned into Batman seeking personal revenge, and thought transformation also seemed very abrupt. The Justice League split into two factions fighting each other for no reason, Wonder Woman went from a lost idealist to a disappointed feminist, and the Green Lantern Corps went from strong-willed patriots to three-legged cat jokers.

The comic works have a jump between each issue, and the animated film did not find a way to solve the problem of coherence, but focused on the magic change of the plot.

After the original jumping story was made into an animated film, the jumping became more intense. The cause and effect of Batman's role is not explained, and a person who bears a deep hatred has become a chaotic lunatic here; the alien Brainiac's magical transformation has wiped out Luthor's sense of high IQ, which directly affects the final outcome.

The original comic "Superman: Son of Red" has long surpassed the Cold War mentality and discussed more profound philosophical issues, while the animated version of "Superman: Son of Red" returns to the Cold War mentality. Americans place their own ideology in the red. on the son.

Judging from the performance of the film, it is certain that the screenwriter and director do not know much about socialism. Judging from the behavior of the characters in the film, the socialism presented by the Son of Red is a one-sided stereotype inherent in Western society. Anyway, everything in Western society is good. Non-Western societies will either bow their heads in peace and be enslaved, or they will be a place of evil and terror.

It's like putting a full-point composition there, and even dynamic comics are ready-made, and the screenwriter and director only need to copy it. But they don't, taking the shell of the son of red, they must express their narrow and shallow thinking, even if they destroy a masterpiece, they will be nonsense.

The whole chapter of the magical transformation of the gods is private goods,

Levels plummeted full of nonsense.
