watched Eragon at night, and the same thing happened again.
I have read Eragon's book before (that's another story, let's discuss it in the book). Although the author is very young, his brushwork is not immature. A story about growth, the growth path of a dragon knight, is so vivid in the author's writing. However, in the movie, the long road of learning and growth has become something like a "level four crash course". The protagonist is like catching a train, rushing from one scene to another, from one time to another, and even the young first love is like fast food: there is no sign of what happens, and what happens is inexplicable. To paraphrase the words in the play: "Yesterday you were a child in the countryside, and today you have become a dragon knight!" Without the growth and learning on the journey, and the embarrassment of being ignorant, our dragon knight has only become a lucky one. , Rather than a person who uses his own hard work to prove his status and identity. As if fate has chosen you, and you will succeed.
About the mount of the dragon knight. The first is gender. There is a plot about the gender of the dragon in the original book. And when the protagonist in the play came up as "She...", I was also surprised by the protagonist's advanced knowledge of "Palaeontology Gender": Why can't I see that she is "she"? Could it really be "the male dragon's feet are fluttering, and the female dragon's eyes are blurred?" I don't know if the film arrived in France, does the word dragon in French distinguish between feminine and masculine? If it is divided, doesn't it mean that when it comes to dragons, it confesses gender? And when I later saw her flying up and down like the protagonist in an air combat movie, and spitting flames, the lovely "dragon girl" who was even "jealous" with all the female biological natures in the original book became completely A combat tool, a killing machine.
Throughout the whole film, due to the adaptation and reduction of the script, most of the highlights in the original work have been diluted, replaced by gorgeous computer stunts and typical Hollywood no-brained lines. The important process of establishing a relationship between the protagonist and the dragon was almost taken over, and the protagonist’s complicated feelings for Varden were confessed by the sentence "I want to join you!". Those who might play an important role in the future sequel never appeared at all.
Frankly speaking, if you haven't read the original and want to spend a less boring night, Eragon will meet your requirements. But if you read the original, don't be disappointed.
Lamb bun without bun is not mutton bun, and Eragon that has not grown is not Eragon either.
