If you look at each segment separately, this story is very interesting. In this story, there are a babysitter who descends from the sky under an umbrella, an old banker who loves wealth as much as two pennies, an uncle who laughs and drinks afternoon tea on the ceiling, and a man who flies from the chimney to the roof. Chimney workers and so on.
The theme is also very profound. For example, "Time flies. By the time you want to give, the children have grown up."
"You have a mother, you have Mary, you have me and friends. But your father is the only one, and no one helps him when he is sad. "
In order not to embarrass his father, the child reluctantly gave his father the two pence he intended to feed the pigeons.
However, on the one hand, these details cannot be presented in a limited time. On the other hand, it lacks a core story. The piecemeal pieces together make it abrupt and lengthy.
They danced and sang if they didn't agree with each other, and the coherent story was beaten to pieces. Moreover, many songs and dances are not meant to show emotions or create characters. Singing just for singing, or for narration, singing and dancing occupies nearly 2/3 of the content.
For example, when three people went out for a walk, just because they saw the street artist Potter at the entrance of the park, they suddenly jumped into pencil drawing for a "painting trip." Isn't it a bit blunt?
Secondly, no matter how well 3D and 2D work together, there is an inherent sense of contradiction and falsehood.
Also, what is the setting of Porter and Mary's long-lost reunion?
There are many supporting roles that did not promote the plot but occupy a lot of roles, such as the cook and housekeeper whose family relationship is at odds, the strange captain and sailor who fires regularly, Uncle Albert who laughs on the ceiling, and feeds in front of the church. The old man of the pigeon waits. In the original work, these characters must have wonderful stories, but unfortunately they are all handled briefly in the movie.
[Character]
Although Andrews is set to be a fairy, to be honest, it lacks a bit of fairy air. It is not particularly different from her role in "The Sound of Music"...
Although the street artist Porter is wearing a suit, The juggling temperament is still strong, I just feel too embarrassed when he hits himself with a gong or a cane to forcefully create humor.
The color of the whole film is gloomy, and the faces of the two children are covered with greasy light. And they all look old, just like a newborn baby, there are baby lines on their faces that have not spread.
The little boy opened an old man's face, and his father looked like a kid with a beard. The childish and kind face looked funny like an adult saying "big talk".
My mother is a staunch feminist activist and walks forward like a soldier with a silk ribbon every day. But the voice is sweet and cute, too sweet. Like a little girl who never grows up, and has the same voice as the little princess in another Disney movie "The Princess and the Frog."
I also understand why the original author is not willing to sell the copyright to Americans. A silly eldest sister takes a silly big man, and two silly children, in an animated daydream. I don’t know why the director chose these roles at the time...
[Sing and Dance] The
story is a bit of a flaw, but I still gave it 4 points. These four points are all given to music and dance.
Song and dance replace a lot of narrative, so the audience can enjoy the audiovisual feast. No song, no dance, no dance, no song, the chimney group dance on the roof is really wonderful.
Not to mention that all the characters in the play have high-level arias, but Andrews's soprano is enough to be enjoyable. Favorite "Chim Chim Cher-ee". The film’s music vocalization and singer’s voice absolutely crushed "A Fair Lady", which is probably the reason why Andrews won the best actress.
Overall, the story is very lively, suitable for all ages. Children should have fun watching.
It's just a pity that such a good script is. It should be possible to dig hard and make a series.
