This article refers to anime/movie entries:
Many years ago, I wrote, "If "Dragon Ball" restarts/remakes again, I hope it will be directed by ' Zack Snyder '." Today I heard a "good news", maybe this dream, may come true.
I got some great news this morning! That is, the director of the visual department of Pisces in Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA - " Zack Snyder/Zack Snyder " revealed to the outside world that he is interested in shooting a famous cartoonist named " Bird " by the famous Japanese cartoonist of Aries. The handed down comic masterpiece drawn by " Shan Ming " - "Dragon Ball" series!
As soon as I read this news, I can come to the spirit! It's as if I learned that the great Dutch director " Paul Verhoeven " suddenly announced to the media that he intends to remake the Japanese adult's perverted masterpiece "Night Worker Sick House", which makes me feel that I haven't watched it yet. , was already eager to try, and was eager to hand over his Money. It is so! cool me! It was as if the " Chairman Cui " of the Beijing Starlight Party had conceived a child for me, and it was still a twin, and he was elated. If this wasn't a whim, I'd be looking forward to it! Just like when I looked through the autumn water version of "Death Note". However, I still feel a little uneasy about American directors directing anime works in the context of Japanese culture. Because these arrogant Americans remake their own comics, and those "superheroes" in fancy clothes are careful, serious, and rigorous; what about the works of other countries and civilizations? Today, the most "reduction" is only the horror series that have long been drained of their remaining value - "Midnight Bell" and "The Grudge". And the most successful remake of "Infernal Affairs" in my country's Hong Kong City, "Infernal Affairs", not to mention other, only in terms of lines, I think it is too rough, and it is really not as good as the original Hong Kong my country. What about other related comics? For example, the so-called "American version of Death Note" based on the Japanese cartoonist " Obata Ken " , a Japanese cartoonist of the zodiac Aquarius , I really don't have much to say. Crudeness and vulgarity of the remake. And today I wrote here the extremely unqualified American version of "Dragon Ball" with a score of "3.7". I don't bother to reiterate anything. To be honest, if I hadn't read today's " Zack Snyder/Zack Snyder " "There are plans to remake the Japanese manga "Dragon Ball", and I will definitely not delay the wasted effort on this film and television page. This is not part of my plan to "review". And my impression of this American version of "Dragon Ball" is almost nothing. Therefore, there is really not much to say about this comic adaptation work, except for the " Turtle Immortal " in the " Chow Yun-Fat " version."There is still a little bit of "gimmicks" left in the past. This film can be said to be useless. It is also directly ruined. Stars including starring " Emmy Rossum/Emmy Rossum " are shining stars. .
Therefore, in the Japanese manga movies remade/rebooted/adapted by Hollywood in the United States, it can be written like this, that is, the "Detective Pikachu" of the previous year is still quite satisfactory, but is it really so? I think the loyal fans of the original book of "Pokemon" will definitely not agree with my sentence "regular". Because I don't think so myself. But that "Detective Pikachu" is really the "best effort" in recent years among so many Hollywood-dominated Japanese remakes. Hollywood's ability to adapt Japanese manga is just that big, and it can't ask for more.
So after calming down, I don't exactly have more unrealistic hopes for a " Zack Snyder " reboot for a live-action Dragon Ball remake, because of the director's control over the pacing of the film , the control of the content of the plot, including the very distinctive image style with oil painting texture that makes him and his fans most proud, are not absolutely popular in the mainstream market; appreciators praise "ingenious workmanship", and those who do not feel scolded it " Rory gossip". Regarding Zha Dao's very strong use of video cameras, and his unique love for the "epic sense" of the narrative style, it can be said that there are different opinions and disputes. In this fantasy chapter that doesn't even count as a "movie review", it can only be regarded as "exciting", I don't want to go into the details. Because this is not "Justice League", but the "Dragon Ball" series that may come true. Well, in my personal opinion, it's just a person, at least in terms of picture saturation, scene rendering, and shocking action scenes to imagine the " Zack Snyder/Zack Snyder " version of "Dragon Ball", oh.... .. No matter what the plot is, I think it will go down in the history books just for the imposing aura. If nothing else, I still have confidence and appreciation for Zha Dao's art skills and artistic attainments. The most important thing is that Zha Dao has tried his best to "restore" for the fans. At the same time, he also hopes to add some shots of his own "philosophical" level of the world, which is indeed not in the pure sense. "Popcorn" comic book movie. Let's not forget whether his movies are a bit "biased".
And is "Dragon Ball" a completely "entertainment-oriented" Japanese anime in the later period? I don't think so, yes, as a die-hard comic fan, I really think that the "Dragon Ball" series in the middle and late period is not a kind of "easy-to-understand" hot-blooded comic book in the full sense. The eulogy of "cosmopolitanism", and the pure yearning of "cosmopolitanism". This is a full-scale three-dimensional character, and the ingenious transformation of the characters' emotions between enemies and friends. It can definitely be called a work of "science fiction literature" that is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. And the layout of the world view is also very epic, from life to death, from heaven to hell, from "alien galaxy" to "artificial man", there are both time and space travel, and interstellar travel, both "return to hometown" proudly , there is also the mildness of "do as the Romans do". The director of " Zack Snyder " is best at writing comics that are full of complex emotions, but this is also his weakness. It is easy to "use emotion", but many times, it is "Logic" is ignored. The way I feel is -- it's always easy to overdo it.
But I think that the destructive action shots of "Dragon Ball" are very in line with the "violent aesthetics" shots of Zha Dao in action scenes. And the most important thing is that "Dragon Ball" has "belief", as does Zha Dao. What is the belief in Dragon Ball? It is "salvation", no matter how bad this devastated world is, no matter how bad this devastated earth is, even those enemies who have had old and new grudges will not be able to do anything when the human world is at a critical juncture of life and death. Don't hesitate to dedicate one's life, even some who once wanted to destroy the planet can be regarded as "big treacherous" heretics, such as "Vegeta", such as "Bik the Great Demon King II". In the process of reforming evil and returning to righteousness, they are also completing the "redemption" of their own souls. Just like Zha Dao, through the "author's film" with a strong personal style, he completes his infinite recollection of his beloved daughter, and prays to a merciful God for shelter and salvation. Don't you feel a little "same way"? It's just that the one in the west is Jesus Christ, and the one in the east is the set, the seven "Dragon Balls". And this world, isn't it also for the purpose of "belief", and the battle is broken?
I really think that if you don't shoot "Dragon Ball" at this time, when will it be? At a time when the "new coronavirus" is still under the shadow of death, and when the world situation is beginning to be turbulent again, I really hope that this comic book, which is essentially full of "humanistic" feelings, can be brought up as soon as possible. on the official schedule. To the unhappy soul, a little deep touch when returning to the "good times". In this world, fair and upright heroic souls will be resurrected from the dead, and sins that are insatiable will also die in their proper place, beautiful love, pure friendship, exciting extraordinary adventures, and those who have some "little problems" or even "big ones". "Sin" living characters, finally surrender to the truth of justice, fairness, and devotion. Isn't that the theme of "Superman"? Isn't this the "Utopia" world full of evil and evil that " Zack Snyder " expects? And I still have confidence that if Director Zha really wants to shoot "Dragon Ball", who else will he give up? Certainly not " Todd Phillips " because he is the desperate "Joker".
But I also admit that the real-life video of the Japanese manga "Dragon Ball" is very difficult. If I were " Zack Snyder ", it would start directly from "Planet Vegeta" being destroyed by " Friza ", yes, the first part is this feud. However, I prefer the " Sharu " who let "Goku and his son" work together to defeat him. I think this villain is the most stylish, although it is extremely ugly before the "complete body" is completed. In this part, "Vegeta" has completely "evolved" from a cold-blooded and brutal arrogant warrior who only knows "fight" and "killing" to a person who can show a sense of "family affection" and responsibility for his own children. real man. Naturally, "Bik the Great Demon King" just "passed by", I don't think it's right, I always think that he is the "male number two" in "Dragon Ball", the first in the true sense of "Monkey King" "Strong enemy", and he is also regarded as the "foster father" of "Sun Wufan". During the time when "Wukong" passed away, he inspired the powerful abilities of the descendants of Wukong, and in the process, gradually gradually To "save" yourself from the lost path of hatred, I think that is "teaching love", and to a certain extent, it is "father love". What his evil father "Bick I" did not give, "Bick II" gave it to his "old enemy" Wukong's child. "Monkey King" also avenged "Bick" for "killing his father" in such a "peculiar" way. In the "Life and Death" of his brother "Raditz" who also came to "conquer the earth". I think it was at that time that "Bick II" began to evolve from a "devil" who only wanted to cultivate and seek revenge again, to a "human" character full of "caring". Because of the pain of losing his "father", he deeply understands it. Like "Vegeta". It's just that "Vegeta" was inspired by "love". And "Bick", this "Tao" does not understand. Because "Star Clan" doesn't work. Ha ha! This part, too far, I'm writing, "Dragon Ball" volume, and " Zack Snyder / Zack Snyder"The film is three hours long, which is very suitable for temperament. This Japanese animation can definitely satisfy all the personal thoughts that Zha Dao wants to express, and the more grand "comments" on the private images of the world. As long as He chose the right content, and the casting should not be too biased. It will definitely become at least a wonderful sci-fi blockbuster. I sincerely hope that this is not just a joke. Even if it is shot, the sense of picture is definitely unprecedented. But I am more Pray, it's not "Warner". Haha! But this studio has enough to blame, even if it's related.
And who will play "Monkey King", "Vegeta" and "Bik the Great Demon King"? At least these three? After all, this is an American Hollywood commercial blockbuster, isn't it? Alas...so even an Asian actor might be Chinese American, so for the time being, "Monkey King" is " Lin Ludi " and "Vegeta" is " Henry Golding " "The Big Devil" is " Josh Stewart ". Let's set a "keynote" first, regardless of other things, first of all it has to be "handsome", at least it has to be, right? Therefore, I hope it is the " Lin Ludi " version of "Monkey King", and this actor is quite "good-faced". And " Henry Golding " has a "murderous spirit" leaking out from his brow like nothing, suitable for "Vegeta", as for "Bick", " Josh Stuart " Watt/Josh Stewar " has a similar face shape, a slender body, but a strong sense of strength, quite like him. My personal first reaction was these three characters and the actors who played them. As for the "Le Ping" who died alone and the "Ya Mu Cha" who even sacrificed his posture so "woolly", let's leave it to " Liu Simu ", the actor's temperament is really "rusty", not "" Ugly", but "earth". The eyes are really "thief", and it is not a problem to interpret "Leping" who is "unremarkable". And don't underestimate this character, he is also one of the "strongest men" of early human beings. As for the "Tianjin rice"...lol! I do hope, it's " Vin Diesel/Vin Diesel". Although this is a bit "violating", the image is really "close". And when promoting "Fast and Furious 9", the bald man also said "I love China", and the endorsed brands also come from China "Yadi", this is an American actor who really loves "China", at least for now. It is really suitable for him to play "Tianjin Fan" whose nirvana is "Sun Fist". And I hope , " Keanu Reeves " to play "Sharu", this is definitely a villain who needs "special effects", just like "Steppenwolf", so no more "acting skills", "Handsome" "It's enough. Of course, this villain is still very "ideological". " Keanu Reeves " is such a well-mannered man. I admit that I also wrote a few years ago that when " Keanu Reeves " was in his prime, he was definitely an excellent candidate for "Monkey King". His upright and sunny aura sometimes seemed There is a bit of "stupid" kindness, and the most important thing is that there is a hint of "Oriental" melancholy, and they are at least "Hollywood Dragon Ball", the best candidate. But now he, after all, has vicissitudes, no longer It is suitable for "Wukong", although he is still the "most like" in my mind. As for the heroine "Bulma" who has experienced the test of life and death... I will choose—— " Emma Stone/Emma Stone ", yes, although she looks like her age, she is also a bit too old. But I will choose her.
I will not upload "comparison photos", as long as you are a fan/movie fan, you all know what they look like. And there are so many characters in "Dragon Ball", it would be too long to write them one by one, let's just stop there.
......
Can we stop being obsessed? Others Zha Dao just said a "heart to remake", you see you are excited, as if you are a "director". Alas, stop wishful thinking and wait and see what happens. And the reason why I chose to write this fantasies on this movie page is just because "Dragon Ball" has not been destroyed by Hollywood in the United States, this one is.
But " Zack Snyder/Zack Snyder " has rekindled my hope. "This will be another masterpiece based on classic works after The Lord of the Rings." Such hope.
There are quite a few people who say that I "always live in an unreal world", and so it is.
