The opening moments brought me back to those days when I was surrounded by blue skies at Disney's Pixar DreamWorks all day. How to say it, it feels more like the animation of my childhood than the dream search, Frozen and so on in recent years.
It mainly talks about the protection of rare animals and the relationship between people and families. Hmm... Not being good at communicating with family members is indeed a common problem among Chinese teenagers, but in the movie, the main focus is on the change of mentality of art, and there is no specific solution to the problem. There is no problem with this theme, and there is no special highlight.
Needless to say, the picture production is very beautiful, and the details of the characters' expressions are also well done.
In terms of character setting, first of all, I like the heroine very much, who is independent, firm, strong, and maverick. But this kind of rebellious strong girl with a big innocent and cute creature teaming up to start a journey is a bit cliché, such as Brave, Super Marines. Peng and Jin are the highlights. Peng's interactive micro-movie with Everest added a lot of content, and he also made the small team more like a family and played a role in bonding. Jin has justice, kindness, and sense of responsibility behind his vanity. He is a competent and good brother when a few people are on adventures outside. The protagonist group's characters other than Yi and Everest can also be portrayed in a very three-dimensional and lovable manner, which is very good.
Then talk about the relationship between Jin and Yi. Handsome, opposite-sex relationship/good learning, a little vain and foolish, but serious and responsible, caring elder boys and brave and determined maverick girls, but also vulnerable and knotted girls, childhood sweetheart neighbors, in fact, have been secretly cherishing hope They are together. but none. There was no forced love, there were many warm moments along the way, and in the end, when we returned home together, we always felt like brothers and sisters, and the handling was very natural and comfortable. (Anyway, it’s the neighbors who might be able to become a neighbor when they get older, right?
After Mulan, the only story set in China and in modern society. em...Actually, I think that at least the big cities in China are more prosperous than in the movies. Maybe I'm too worried about Westerners' prejudice against China. In any case, the scenery of Huangshan Mountain in Anhui and the Giant Buddha in Leshan are beautifully done, which once made me feel like "this is a tourism propaganda film". It is very interesting that WeChat payment appeared in the movie. Jin cherished his shoes very much. Jin met the requirements of his family and was admitted to the medical school in Beijing. ...it really feels like a detail that appears around the Chinese. But the emergence of WeChat payment also has drawbacks. For example, in order to show that the heroine saves money very carefully, only cash is accepted, and then deposited in the secret base on the roof. Later, in order to save the hatred value for the villain, most of it was blown away by the villain's plane... just Although it is romantic to save a little bit of the secret base, it is not reasonable. It can be stored in a mobile phone, and it is safer.
A few more points that I personally like. 1. Art's secret base, she climbed up to the roof from the bedroom at night, put the front into a small flower box, and looked at the map and postcards posted on the wall and secretly planned her own journey. It reminded me of wearing clothes. In the cat in the boots, the cat and egg duo plan to find the castle on the top of Genting. When she was alone, she secretly took out the violin that she lied about to be sold and played it at night in the city to poke me.
2. Yi's part-time job and after she finished the job, she walked past Jin surrounded by girls in a suit of garbage and stains, and put on sunglasses handsomely and carelessly.
3. Everest felt shocked when he met Yiheming for the first time
4. When Everest sings to evoke blueberries, make dandelions grow bigger and fly everyone over Huangshan, and create a tsunami of rape blossoms, I think it is quite creative and interesting.
5. Although the past of Yi's father, including how and when he left, has never been mentioned, this kind of relative who has never appeared can easily make people feel that they are playing family cards, but the tears when Art plays the piano later. The close-up of her, just a drop, makes people feel that it fits her character and is also very touching.
6. The courage of art to walk away
7. It is beautiful to walk with a few people in a group. The four seasons are like spring. Especially the wisteria flowers and the night sky.
8. The image of carp jumping over the dragon gate
9. Yi was sad when the qin was broken. From this, Jin's thoughtfulness and Yi's straightforwardness appeared. When Yi was in a good mood, he found out that the qin was repaired by Everest. Although this is a bit ripped (the violin that is broken in half is just fine), but the strings are made of Everest's hair, and the miracle of Everest will appear when you pull it up. This is quite interesting.
10. Yi's violin is very good, and the style of music is also very Chinese
Finally, let's talk about the disadvantages.
The first is that there are a lot of places that are not reasonable if you think about it carefully. For example, the WeChat payment mentioned above, the broken violin is good, and the protagonist group walks to Huangshan, walks to the front of Leshan Giant Buddha, and walks to the Himalayas Well... not to mention the ticket and why there are no people in such a key tourist attraction, you all wear shirts and short sleeves, from the mountains to the Gobi, all the Himalayas, are you not cold? Just when I thought this When the boss was solved by idealization, Peng suddenly said: Ah, it's so cold, and then the gentleman took off the clothes of his subordinates and put them on to show his support, and went up the mountain happily... Feeling for the climber next door distressed.
The second villain inversion is a bit blunt. In the blink of an eye, a female scientist who protects animals has become a mad woman who only wants money. There is no foreshadowing or character background, and it is somewhat flat. Then her boss started thinking about whooping snake (not sure if that's how it was spelled) as a belt, and then wanted to put Everest on it: "You're amazing, so unique, so keep you safe from the outside world. "What about equality? Whooping snake is also very aggrieved. Although there are explanations (suddenly remembering the details of meeting a snowman for the first time many years ago), it still feels a bit far-fetched.
Thirdly, I think whooping snake is wasted, such a cute and unique creature, one sneaked out, but it didn't stab at anything, didn't do anything to help, everyone saw it and the reaction was very dull... I think the design of this plot can play a better role.
All in all, the flaws do not hide the flaws. If the screenwriter digs into the details and logic, and talks in depth (for example, Jin admits that he went to medical school because he thinks he is more handsome in a white coat, after that?) It will be even more brilliant.
It is a good choice if you are not so serious, think less about why, and just enjoy a fantasy journey of pure love, dreams and beauty.
