(It seems that the Chinese name of this movie is "Arthur and his Mini Mo Kingdom"? I don't know, anyway, my movie ticket reads "Asia Se and His Mini-Kingdom")
chose this movie to pass the time, investing in huge 3D animation. The director is Luc Besson, who is said to have only made ten films, and this is his tenth.
Probably because of the cartoon, the storyline is relatively simple, it doesn't deepen the theme, and it doesn't teach much. Arthur entered the mini-kingdom in order to find his grandfather's treasure. He went through some hardships, fought wits and bravery with the evil M, and then had a big reunion. The film is carried out in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, and the simple and lively rhythm is also a good pastime.
The combination of animation and real people is not new today, and the storyline is actually more old-fashioned. But "Arthur" does not disappoint, the character's settings and details are all eye-catching.
The characters in the movie may not be beautiful from a traditional aesthetic point of view, and even when the miniature people appear for the first time, the children in the theater will feel a little ugly. But I really like those little freckles and those long pointed ears that make the not-so-beautiful Arthur and his Princess Serena all the more real and lovely. In the live-action segment, Arthur's actor Freddie Highmore, like Natalie Postman, added a lot of color to the film.
Although both the novel and the movie are aimed at children aged 5-12, some clips in the movie and the characters of the characters can bring some thoughts to the adults watching the movie after laughing. Mean government officials, treacherous debt collectors, and even Arthur's parents can be seen as targets for the director to satirize, and Arthur's bravery and sprouting love with Princess Serena seem to be cruel The adult world adds a touch of warmth. The combination of live action and animation is not only a form here, but also forms a strong contrast between the real world and the animation kingdom. Therefore, compared to the novel, this movie should be an animation for adults to a large extent, and some plots cannot be understood in the world of children.
The film deserves to be a 3D cartoon that costs a lot of money, and the magnificent scenes in the film really give people a visual enjoyment. The vivid mini-kingdom, grandma's garden, delicate and soft flowers, and a few fighting scenes are all exciting enough. What impressed me the most was the piece of dancing on the vinyl record in the bar. The music mixes matched the movements of the animated characters, which was particularly lively and interesting.
In recent years, cartoons like to find stars for dubbing, but "Arthur" does not. Although there is not as strong a dubbing lineup as the English version, the dubbing of "Arthur" is quite wonderful. "No problem" in Cantonese, "what's in your bag", and even a bit of Hong Kong and Taiwanese accents fit the film just right, making the film more humorous and ridiculing. . But after watching the movie, I really hope to appreciate how sexy Princess Serena is interpreted by Sister Na in the English version.
Luc Besson said, I am convinced that respecting and cherishing the children's world in each of us is a most basic thing. I think everyone should have an indelible childhood dream, adventure or curiosity, prince or princess. No matter when, no matter how many childhood dreams we give up as adults, I think a childhood dream that is innocent will be a precious and splendid memory in life. "Arthur" may be Luc Besson's dream, he spent 7 years to complete. But I hope to use my whole life to fulfill my childhood dream.
