One sentence comment: Magical movies do need the right children to save the world, but they need the right script.
At the beginning of the film, it was quite innovative to build momentum for the protagonist, with the feeling of Harry Potter going in and out of Diagon Alley. But it soon fell into a cliché, the little boy meant that he was nobody, who knew that he was the one. Today's children save the world movies only have such a routine, no wonder the screenwriter and director. But the dismemberment of the whole story is the director's.
According to the director of the slow child, the whole process of finding the six seals must be made into six films, each of which is in the style of "The Crusaders in Jeans", and then spare no effort to use exaggerated special effects and gorgeous effects in the sixth film. , trying to turn the magic war into a lively one. In order to allow the protagonist to complete the task as much as possible within a limited time, the director of this film had to express the process of finding the seal as an epiphany. This time, each task basically took less than five minutes. As for the process of time-space transformation, the location of the transformation is not explained and described in detail in this book. Compared with the movies of the same type that travel through time and space, it seems a bit different. Of course, it may also be that the original work itself does not have an overly detailed description. After all, traveling through time and space is not the main content. Searching for seals is the first priority. Interestingly, the second time I traveled, I found my ancestors, I knew the origin of the seal, and when I traveled the third time, I left an electronic watch to the barbarian. These details make people full of expectations for the relationship between time and space and the protagonist. . I want to see more of the protagonist's performance in different time and space, not like a visit. The ancients never looked at this stranger who suddenly appeared, and he looked for the seal as if he were transparent. The olders said that the black knight would follow the boy's strength to obstruct the search process, but the black knight only came forward in the second search, more often he watched the seal being taken away, and rode without achievement. Strolling around on horses, relying on various temptations to live the idle addiction of borrowing a knife to kill.
The bottom bag is disappointing. The trump card was shown less than halfway through the film. The sixth one was sealed in the soul of a person, which was tantamount to telling everyone the final answer. When the protagonist is still struggling in the dark, racking his brains to find the final seal, sympathy for the protagonist arises spontaneously: Poor man, you are the only one who doesn't know, everyone on earth knows it~ There is no suspense about this The arrangement of the plot makes the final struggle, whether it is light or dark, seem a little mentally retarded, and it is inevitable to have contempt for the director. How can you make such a tasteless joke with an actor? If the sixth seal is the soul of the abducted twins, there will be more expectations. Unsurprisingly, the hero is not only the body of the Holy Son, but also the body of the Holy Spirit. A little disappointed. Maybe the content of the original book is a little deeper, but maybe it was deliberately murdered by the director. After all, I haven't read the original, so it's not easy to jump to conclusions.
The only bright spot in the film is a look back in Yukinaka by Amelia Warner's little witch Maggie Barns -- who later turns out to be the old witch. That moment accurately interpreted the meaning of the word "amazing". Black cloak, white snow, red scarf, invisible gale, everything exists for this moment. Although it was only for a second or two, Amelia Warner's eyes and clear facial contours stirred countless reverie in the heart. In all honesty, other photos of Amelia Warner have also been found on the Internet, but they are still not as good as this image in this film. To this end, a 1080p version of the trailer was specially downloaded, and a picture was taken as a permanent collection. This scene in Amelia is a spectacle in the snow.
Apart from the actors, the film has almost nothing to praise. The casting was quite successful, with an old English Gothic vibe: the hostess, the butler, the artisan and the saviour were still very much British.
