I didn’t feel much after seeing the title of Mother Ghost and the very Chinese poster, until I saw it in English, I was completely burnt: Coraline! ! ! Neil Gaiman's Hugo Award Novel! Take another look at the director-Christmas Nightmare! ! ! Is there any reason not to go down here~~~
Actually, when I first saw this novel, I didn't have any special feelings (I remember that it was translated as Carolan in the science fiction world at that time), but I had a deep memory of the buttonholes. At that time, I was still lost in the Dragon Spear and the Forgotten Realm, so I was really not interested in this gothic fairy tale fantasy type. Moreover, it is probably a problem of translation. Although Neil Gaiman’s novels are full of imagination, the translation is too straightforward and lacks literary talent. Although I admire the author’s fantastic ideas very much, I often feel that the sentences are too boring. I couldn't read it all at once (especially "American Gods", I almost didn't
read it because of the boring language...) until I finished watching the movie, I really admired the director's powerful skills. The film is not only very faithful to the original, but also gives full play to the author's imagination-it can even be said that there is more than it is. To give a few very simple examples:
Let me start with the beginning, the animation of making dolls really seems to be a shell-Innocent~~~
In the buttonhole mother's house, another mother made Carolan a hearty meal. The food moved Carolan a lot, because her real mother is often too busy to cook. Even the ingredients for cooking are very strange. Orz novels such as mustard tomatoes describe this meal like this: "They Sitting down at the table, Carolan’s other mother brought lunch. A large chicken, grilled to the ground, served with fried potatoes and boiled green beans. Carolan ate her mouthfuls. Very delicious. "Look at how the three-sentence movie in the novel is performed~]
A large table of hearty meals~~~ [Saliva]
There is a small train carrying marinade on the table slowly, and then automatically pouring it. The marinade onto the mashed potatoes.
There are all kinds of milkshakes on the chandelier, which can be used automatically~~~ [God, this is heaven, heaven! ! ! 】
When she came to Buttonhole Mom for the second time, Carolan saw the garden carefully made for her by her father, who had never gardened. One thing is that the movie has been changed better~ and this garden is not mentioned in the novel, but it is a bright spot in the movie~~~) When the
moon rises, the garden wakes up quietly.
The trees stretched their waists, the birds began to sing, and the flowers rushed to bloom.
The father who is riding a mantis cart appears on the stage, and the flowers are blooming under his feet~~~ [Eh, the legendary flower fairy? 】
Pumpkin fountain, good mouth~~~ The
buttonhole mother prepared three miracles for Carolan, the garden is the first (of course, this is also the plot not mentioned in the novel), and the performance by the rat circus artists upstairs It's the second one (the rat performance is mentioned in the novel, but it is not performed specifically for her). The novel describes it like this: "The mice form a circle. Then, the mice played with the pile of arhats, some mice were on the bottom, and some climbed on their backs. The mice were very careful, but they weren’t slow at all. In the end they became A pyramid, the biggest big mouse standing on the top of the tower. They sang, their voices were shrill, thin and trembling.
We have teeth, we have tails.
We have tails, we have eyes.
We have come early, here Before you fall.
Just watch and watch us stand up.
This song is not good. Carolan must have heard this song before, or another similar song. But she can't remember where it is Listen. At this
moment , the pyramid collapsed. The mice rushed away. They were so fast that they were all black and ran towards the door." [Is it not at all aesthetically pleasing? It took two minutes to play in the movie, and there is also lovely circus music~]
The third miracle was the fortune-teller sisters who lived downstairs in Carolan, who claimed that they were once actresses. The description of this novel is very detailed: "Miss Spink and Miss Forspoll appear on the stage. Miss Spink is riding a bicycle with only one wheel and throwing a few small balls in her hand. Fu. Miss Spoel hopped behind, holding a flower basket and sprinkling flowers all the way. They came to the middle of the stage, Miss Spink jumped off the unicycle neatly, and the two old ladies bent over and bowed. The dogs in the theater all banged their tails and barked excitedly. Carolan clapped and applauded politely. The two old ladies were chubby in furry coats. They unbuttoned and opened their coats. Not only did they open their coats. It was overcoats, and their faces opened, like two empty shells made of chubby old women. Two young women popped out of the empty shells, thin, white and pretty. Their faces were black and black. Buttoned eyes. The new Miss Spink wore a green tights, tall brown boots, and almost her entire leg was covered. The new Miss Forspole wore a white dress with long yellow hair. Flower. Carolan leaned back and leaned back in the chair. Miss Spink exited. Wow, wow, the sound of the horn was getting louder and louder, like the needle of a phonograph scratching hard on the record. The horn stopped." The
movie This section is very funny, and the songs sung by the two old ladies are also funny, and,
yes , it’s a bit unsuitable for children. XD =============== The dividing line ===============
Perhaps, Neil Gaiman himself wrote this novel and didn't want to tell a story about friendship and family affection. He just told us a terrifying experience that exists in the memory of a child. But after all, movies cannot be so unpredictable. It requires people to understand, perceive, identify, and love. So it spent a lot of effort to describe how the mysterious little door tempted the little girl, and how the buttonhole mother did her best to please the little girl. The parents in the other world are so perfect. They do everything to make the little girl happy. All the people are so kind and considerate. They seem to be the princesses of this world and do whatever they want. You can get what you want. However, the little girl found that all this has a price, that is, she must lose her eyes and become buttonholes like all creatures in this world. [Why are they taking away the eyes of the little girl? Because the eyes are the soul, and without the eyes and the cognition of the world, the child will never be able to correctly discover the truth, and will always be spent in the deception of the adults. Why are buttons? Because the doll is the closest to the little girl, and the doll’s eyes are often made of buttons. ] The
little girl is still more wise. No matter how ignorant and careless one's parents are, no matter how bad the place they live, at least they are still people with big watery eyes just like them, and they will never do anything to hurt themselves. So she chose her real parents. Is it mature? Is it sane? Is it finally to compromise with reality? Different people have different opinions=v=
It seems that in every fairy tale world, there are always animals that come and go freely. This scrawny little black cat, like a little girl, travels between reality and fantasy. In the environment, it can even talk, but it doesn’t like mice~
Ahem, classmates, can’t be so unkind. If you are in danger, throw your companions to the final BOSS == [So, this movie actually reflects The inferior nature of human beings, they are kind to help you, and you still treat them as meat bombers...Poor cat orz]
