The 1988 old movie "Bear Tale" conveys a truth about love and life to us through a simple story. This is a special film that uses real animals as actors, and through well-designed filming segments, constructs a very realistic and realistic feature film. This strong and kind little bear influenced the indifferent male bears and cruel human beings, and finally told us that man and nature should respect each other, and that life should respect and love each other. "Bear's Tale" is more difficult to shoot than ordinary movies. It stars a real bear. It is extremely difficult to make animals that are difficult to communicate with in their acting. However, this movie has done it. It has created a thrilling plot through editing, special effects, and lens changes, which are strung together into a complete story. For example, at the beginning of the scene where the mother bear was hit by a rock, it is absolutely impossible for the living animals to suffer this damage during the official shooting. Therefore, the film crew used a realistic fake bear model to create the illusion that the mother bear was killed, that is, Get the necessary shots and avoid unnecessary injuries. Another example is the scenes of a large number of animals injured in the film. The real damage is replaced by special effects makeup and liquid simulated blood. At the same time, when dealing with the scenes of animal injuries, the camera cleverly performs quick screen editing and switching, which creates tension. The critical atmosphere will not make people concentrate on the fake wound, so that the audience will not feel obvious. The most thrilling scene is the scene where the hunter and the bear confront each other. The distance between the two is less than half a meter. The bear actor almost hurt the helpless hunter actor with his claws several times. The director did not choose to use borrowing or dislocation. It is done by the special effects of the stand-in, but with the real man-bear confrontation scene. It is dangerous to choose this method, but it has to be said that it greatly improves the sense of realism and substitution for this important scene. The bear's performance is also worth mentioning. Generally speaking, the most difficult part of working with animal actors is communication, but the bear actor in "Bear's Story" performed very well, as if showing his true feelings. Generally speaking, it is difficult for animal actors to obey the director and give specific expressions, so many movies try to give animal actors too many facial shots as much as possible, but this movie has many facial close-ups of bears, and the performance of bears not only lacks It makes people feel inconsistent and playful, and it is very expressive, making the audience forget that this is a performance and be in it. To get these animal expressions of panic, joy or anger, you can imagine how many shots were taken behind the scenes by the directors and cameras, and how many instructions the trainer tried to make. Under the conditions at that time, from these thousands of Selected from the shots that meet the requirements of the plot, or carefully guided, or It's a coincidental expression, how difficult it is, not to mention the unexpected situations such as animals can't maintain their concentration all the time like human actors, and have to admire the director's patience and carefulness. The superb performance of the film's animal and human actors makes the audience often forget that this is a feature film when watching. Human beings are indifferent and ruthless from the very beginning, and they are enemies with bears, and male bears hate humans from the beginning, cruel and ferocious, Later, when the two reconciled, forgive each other and keep a distance, they all told us that every audience should have kindness and respect for nature, animals, and awe for life. "The most shocking thing is not killing, but giving the right to live" is the core theme of this film.
