The TV series starred Dafne Keen (Dafne Keen), who played Logan's daughter Laura in "Wolverine 3", and "One Beauty" James McAvoy (James McAvoy) joined to play the guardian in his play. ...is the visual sense of the X-Men episode?
The original work has won many awards, comparable to "Harry Potter", telling the adventure related to the soul in another world.
The "Dark Matter Trilogy" is based on the adventures of the girl Lyra (Lyra) .
In the world of stories, the human soul is embodied as a " guardian spirit ", which exists independently of the human body and is usually presented in the image of various animals. The guardian spirit of a child, like a child's character, has no stereotype. The state of the child becomes a different animal, and when he grows up, the guardian elves will be stereotyped as a fixed creature, reflecting a person's personality.
Laila's guardian elves often appear in the image of ferrets and sables, reflecting her wit and flexibility, while Zhan Yimei's guardian elves are snow leopards, which are elegant and fierce, and their matching is very eye-catching.
Guardian spirits can act on their own, sometimes thinking the same as their masters, and sometimes showing two sides of one body. The dialogue between people and their own souls is equivalent to showing people's inner activities on the surface.
This basic setting alone is very deep, not to mention that the world view is very complex, but it is different from "The Lord of the Rings", not a pure magical world, and is generally closer to "The Chronicles of Narnia" and "Harry Potter". Potter, is adding fantasy elements to the modern world, Britain during the Industrial Revolution, as well as elves, witches, armored bears...
The story begins with Lyra growing up as an orphan on a "protagonist's mission" at Oxford University in a different world, the year her uncle returns from an expedition to the North Pole with explosive observations—in the elusive Behind the Northern Lights, there is a hidden truth.
This "truth" brings danger to both Uncle and Laila, because this is a world ruled by the church , and any search for secrets will be regarded as a heresy, controlled by the church and even murdered.
The church is secretly obstructing, and on the other hand, many children are disappearing one after another , including Laila's good friend Roger. In order to follow in the footsteps of her uncle and find her friends, Laila embarks on the road to the North Pole. She will meet on the road. At this time, other forces such as Gypsies organizations also began to operate. There is a deeper conspiracy behind a series of events, revealing the mystery and mission of Laila's life experience.
The play will involve parallel worlds, explore human nature and criticize religion. The novel is actually far beyond the scope of children's literature. After the first two won children's literature awards, the third "Amber Spyglass" won the title of the well-known Coase, who only moved to pure literature. Tower Award (Whitbread Award).
The complex worldview of the original work and the depth of its connotation make it difficult to present it in film and television.
As early as 2007, New Line Films invested in this series, investing a huge cost of 180 million US dollars, far exceeding the investment of "The Lord of the Rings" produced by the same company. It selected many big-name actors and launched the first film. "The Golden Compass" , but due to the unsatisfactory level of the film, the final box office did not reach the expected height, resulting in the subsequent two stillborn.
The movie has been suspended for many years, and when some people asked whether the sequel would be shot or not, this work was put on the TV screen!
Now the "Dark Matter Trilogy" has a new start. Now that the technical means are more developed, plus the rich expression space of TV series, I hope this time it can completely depict a magnificent fantasy world.
