Wishing Dragon

This dragon is a bit silly! He's pink, he can fulfill other people's wishes, he's been trapped in a pot for millennia! If you want to return to the heaven, you must fulfill the master's three wishes! No matter what your wish is, he can fulfill it!

Ding Siqi, a young man from Shanghai, opened the teapot that sealed the dragon by accident. After thousands of years of historical precipitation, Shenlong entered the international metropolis after the first thousand years. I was amazed at everything. The flying iron bird (airplane) and the big carriage (bus) seemed to be a baby who just came to the world, causing countless troubles. Hilarious fun.

However, if Shenlong wants to return to heaven as soon as possible, he can only help Ding Siqi realize his wish, which is far more difficult than getting rich, so the hilarious journey of one person and one dragon is staged in "Wish Shenlong". The film has a good look and feel, with humor and touching coexistence. The film is set in Shanghai, China. Whether it is the bustling city or the crowded alleys, people feel a kind of Chinese flavor. The film has a strong narrative rhythm, and the subject matter has both Chinese and Western flavors. The emotion of the protagonist and the life experience of Shenlong become two clues, which develop alternately and finally achieve unity.

We can think of this story as a Chinese version of Aladdin's magic lamp, but without losing Chinese characteristics, it is a good movie for all ages.

The film also explains why family affection is more valuable than money and wealth. The opening ending at the end is heartwarming.

    This movie is surprisingly good. Regardless of style or plot. Who will laugh when Si Qi becomes Si Cong, haha.

    Mainlanders can look neither at believable (or glorified) stories of exotic appearances, nor at low-level, nonsense stories that seem familiar, and it is unexpectedly through this model. Like "Flying to the Moon", the Chinese members of the American team produced a strong and original Chinese life; the same problem: lack of innovation, weak imagination in the details of actions and pictures, energy only used in the main line, not as full as American animated films Background information and side stories. Because of this bug, I want to give it two stars. But my dad's phone call and the dragon and lion fight are super exciting, and the peak of the conflict is actually the separation of the rich and the poor. ), which moved people. A happy ending is actually achieved by impermanent life encounters, but it is more credible than a love that does not conform to human nature, so it is more reassuring and warm.
