For children, this film is very good. It's really a good IP. The big bug, the dragon and the surrounding of the children's day group feel that it will be a big sale. It's too cute. So although I don't particularly like it, but I really think it should be a success to score four stars objectively. Talking about it badly is mainly because the plot is too routine (there is no way to do it) The interpretation of trust is limited to the literal meaning is too shallow and a few supporting characters are somewhat instrumental. The plot is not very logical. For example, the heroine's father felt that the plot killed him. But for the plot killing, I also think of Nietzsche's view of death, that is, if a person's death is to make a belief better pass on, then death is valuable, so the heroine and her father deliberately sacrificed to pass on this belief. For my daughter, I think it makes sense to look at the logic. As a Chinese person and combined with the current international political context, I think that this is a film that directly talks about Sino-US relations. To analyze the mainland in the film from three aspects is to insinuate China. First of all, the meanings of symbols such as dragon and water in the film are more in line with the interpretation in the traditional Chinese religious system, rather than the image that the West likes to regard dragons as evil gods. Second, several tribes have obvious Chinese elements. Fang's palace is a bit like the Forbidden City, and the leader's hairstyle is the hairstyle that East Asian girls usually use in Hollywood movies (it's an unspoken rule). Except for the big ones, the spine people are very similar to the Chinese people. So much bamboo is also very interesting. The heroine in the heart is her father. Just like a reprint of Li Jing, the clan boss who stole something, the old lady has a Chinese accent, the leader of the band of thieves is also a Chinese, and there may be less Chinese elements in Longwei Beach, more like the Southeast Asian side? But there are still some traces of punting and cooking porridge. It may be okay to say it. Third, the voice actor team also has Zhao Liying in one vote of Chinese descent (reflecting the intention to target the Chinese market). So since the main body is China, combined with the theme of trust, it can be regarded as an attempt by Disney to make an appeal through this film.
There are a lot of things to think about in the movie. For example, why is the posture of the descendants infected by the black devil that dedication and why the black devil appears? Is it an alienation of the dragon? I remember that the protagonist dragon also said that they only appear because we appeared, so I wonder if the dragons will treat themselves. There is also guilt in existence. This is interesting because Disney may not have thought of this when filming, but the characters seem to have some kind of moral consciousness when they come to life in the reader's interpretation.
