Disney's summer blockbuster "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" is such a super "popcorn", its aroma comes from several major elements: gold producer Jerry Bruckheimer and Joe Detdou from National Treasure The collaboration of director Barbara; the collaboration of American "The Melancholy Prince", action star Nicolas Cage and the most charming sexy actress Monica Bellucci on the island of Sissi in Italy; plus the popularity of the new generation of American singers who are popular among teenagers The song is a movie episode, a series of bands including One Republic, Jimmy Eat World and 0+S.
Such movies are often extremely fancy and moving in terms of film production and special effects, enough to attract the attention of young people, but they are clichéd in the plot. The story begins a thousand years ago. The beautiful good witch Veronica (Monica Bellucci) and the evil witch Mogana Lefy fight each other. Evenly matched, the beautiful witch sacrifices herself and embraces the evil that may destroy the world. The witches were locked in a Russian doll together. The so-called Russian puppet is to set another puppet in addition to the core puppet-the entourage of the evil witch Maxim Horvas (Alfred Molina). Only Veronica's lover, the mage Bassaza (Nicholas Cage) who defended her, was left outside. He spent a thousand years looking for the future Mage Merlin who could save the world.
The evil witch Mojana Lefy may destroy the world at any time, and Veronica and the evil witch are held together. Only with a Master Merlin who can be sure to subdue the devil can Bassazha dare to rescue his lover. This is a simple cause and effect relationship.
Suffering from longing for and a sense of responsibility to save the world, the wizard played by the handsome Nicholas Cage turned into a black cloak of a wizard who looked like a magician with long hair and a stubble face. The magical version that made people haggard for Iraq is like a New York tramp.
New York after 1300—New York again. Whether it was the haunted "Ghostbusters" (The Ghostbusters, 1984) or the American heroes who saved the entire world, they all liked to do it in New York. In short, Master Basaza found the primary school student David (Jay Baruchel) named Merlin Master named by the magic "Dragon Ring" in an antique shop. At this time, elementary school student David was thinking about how to turn the little girl in the same class into his girlfriend. The little boy wrote a multiple choice question to the girl with a piece of sticky paper: Are you willing to be my girlfriend? 2) Friends? .
10 years later, David, who was not good looking and was treated for psychological problems (of course because of the antique shop adventure), became a college student and met Bassazza again. Unfortunately, he once again met the girl in his dream, Betsy, which made David half-hearted in learning magic.
There are always similarities between magic stories and magic stories, especially Disney's magic movies.
However, the origin of "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" is actually a poem by the famous German poet Goethe, The Sorcerer's Apprentice. In 1940, Disney’s cartoon "Fantasia" (Fantasia) directly implanted the apprentice of the magician-Mickey Mouse and the mop bucket battle. And in the list of film screenwriters, Lord Goethe's name is actually listed. Although this ancient poetry has long since evolved from the story of a poorly learned apprentice unable to control his own broom bucket, it has evolved into this poorly learned but heavy duty apprentice who finally saved the world. Disney still directly used Goethe's poetry. The name pays tribute to the great poet.
In "The Sorcerer's Apprentice", in addition to magic, there are two major components: love and science: the thousand-year love between Barthazar and the witch Veronica, and the love between David and his dream girl Betsy in elementary school. Here, love becomes the power that guides humanity to ascend. The apprentice of the magician, David, ultimately relied on the transmission of electric current to make up for the skill of the lightning ball that he had not learned well. It is also the increase in the energy of the current passing through several directions (it is said that the energy can be increased during the conduction of the current, and the Russian scientists in the 19th century completed the current ball in the laboratory) that is hit on the evil witch Mogana Lefi A big hole.
This is much more magical than the magic wand of Mickey Wizard in the 1940s.
Of course, the most beautiful moment of the combination of love and science is the song that David played when he heard a radio show hosted by his beloved girl in a renovated laboratory in a dilapidated underground train station in New York. Soon, he invited Betsy to his laboratory, and the syllables of different lengths emitted during the transmission of electric current deduced the main melody with the cello as the main instrument.
At this time, the laboratory darkened, and beautiful electric currents flickered like an aurora in the sky. At this moment, it seems to be in "Twilight" I, Bella saw the gleaming hair on the chest of the young vampire Edward; it also seems to be in "Wall-e", the cleaner robot Wall-e and pretty Eva are outside White and blue meteor-like trajectories danced in space. There is a dazzling romance in love.
Of course, although the plot is lackluster, there are still a lot of cute parts.
The evil Master Horvath and Bassazha are racing on the street. A slap in the face, and then BMW and Aston Martin change as soon as it changes. Bassaza turned the sculptural eagle in the Chrysler Building in downtown New York into a big iron eagle that spreads its wings, and Horvath turned the big bronze bull on Wall Street into a living crazy bullfighting... The
$150 million production fee is It's so much spent, when I sit among a group of teenagers and middle-aged women who like Nicholas Cage, there is a strong scent of buttered popcorn in the air.
I'm also a magician, this summer I miss the Harry Potter who has mystical suspense a bit.
