Let's go, dragon seeker

Dressed in the veneer of an alien culture, it is a Disney cartoon that talks about simple truths and changes the soup without changing the medicine. Architecture, costumes, and facial features of characters all come to a great fusion of East Asian culture, which is pleasing to the eye, and there are constant small surprises, but these only superficial things can't make me have more sense of identity. The core of the film, whether it is the facial expressions of the characters, the lines, the world view, or the laughter that has been the same for ten years (but it still makes me laugh), are all so "Americanized" and "Disney-like", whether they are lazy or just here. ? We don't know. There is no need to boast about the excellent production. It is basically a standard production. Like the script of the movie, the too easy victory in Laya's adventure is reluctantly said to be suitable for children under the age of thirteen. Small trouble, forgive those bugs that really help people for the time being, because the elements are rich and the rhythm of the story is still smooth and lively, the score is higher than the passing line, but the last scene is really stomping. The kind of vulgarity that I can't stand, I think I already saw this ending when I was ten years old. The more deadly point is that the setting of the protagonist's opposite characters is incomplete, and the plot line is also forcibly interrupted. If you recall it later, you may think that your memory is incomplete.

It's strange, but not surprising that the warm and happy ending still makes my nose sour. I've always longed for such a world where everyone is connected, trusted and happy. Maybe I can't really feel it, but I was moved a few times in the movie. times are also good.

Ah yes, such an adventure movie with a female protagonist and no important male characters is considered a minority in the vast ocean of movies, but I am glad that it is becoming more and more. Wisdom and courage are not exclusive to male protagonists. Swords and armor can also fit perfectly on women. No matter if you have little love or lofty ideals, let's go, women! There may be swamps, thorns, mountains, and deep valleys ahead. Let us struggle, escape, trek, and jump. Let us discover that all these are just the scenery along the way. Let us sing the most precious freedom and love in the world. Let us go down this misty cliff, there is no end, our journey is far more than the sea of ​​stars.

That's what we set out for.
