Classics are always missed

I didn't expect that my first blog in 2007 was still about movies, and it was still a propositional composition.

"ERAGON", Dragon Knight. A blockbuster at the end of 2006. It is said to be the work of the Megatron Industrial Light and Magic Company. The director Fang Mill was once the special effects director of that awesome place.
The position of this story in Western mythology should be similar to that of "NARNIA" or "The Lord of the Rings". Therefore, like the previous two, we should also shoot the trilogy. Since it is such a magnificent production, don't do anything. By the way, let's go to the movie theater-flashbacks always spare no effort to encourage us to enter the movie theater on the blog instead of buying discs, and of course, not to buy pirated discs.
Therefore, my expectations for it are based on being able to compare with "The Lord of the Rings". Of course, this is only in terms of special effects. Originally, this type of movie is to watch special effects and enjoy it. I just hope that it can be more attractive than "NARNIA" and not become a follow-up work.

Things are always like this. The more you worry about something, the more you will have to come... The reason why "The Lord of the Rings" is classic is not only in the magnificent scenes, but the inner conflicts and vivid personality of the characters are also very important-the characters should not be too flat Hua: A good guy is a good guy, and a bad guy is a bad guy. If you can't make the script very exciting, then work hard-just like "The Golden Armor", the eyes are golden, yellow and red, and the eyes are black when you go out of the theater. It seems that Fang Mill is indeed running towards this road this time, and the plot is long and procrastinated, so let's just let it go. If we get a really awesome dragon out, we're done.

Regarding this dragon, the concepts of the East and the West are so different. At least the dragons in China are completely different from the dragons in other places. First of all, the dragon in Chinese tradition does not have a mother. Except for the royal dragon, which can only be used by the emperor, the dragons in folklore are all dragon princes. I have never heard of a goddamn dragon. But the one Aragorn rides is actually a female dragon. I doubt that Fang Mier can't think of how to behave a kind-hearted dragon. Come on, let's have a dragon girl. (That said, I remember it, Jin Yong I have written about the little dragon girl, but it is not a real dragon. The real little dragon is only the third prince of the dragon king, which makes Nezha cramp, but still a man). In this way, I can’t think of the similarities between the dragon on Aragon and the dragon in China. If I insist on the dragon from the East, it’s the Taro from the cartoon "Ryutaro" I watched when I was a kid. Damn it. It looked like an oriental dragon, and it was a mother—but she was not an authentic dragon of the emperor, but a person who was punished to be a dragon, which was tantamount to a prisoner of reform through labor. This is too far.
Secondly, I think an interesting phenomenon is: Although the dragons of the East and the West are very powerful and have special functions, the dragons of the West are so powerful that they can breathe fire and burn wherever they are. Our Chinese ones are just the opposite. They can send water and wherever they are. Wherever it is flooded, it is the Dragon King regardless of the rain. As the saying goes, the flood washed the Dragon King Temple. I think this has something to do with the character of the Chinese nation and the Western nation. China’s nature is peaceful, and it’s nothing more than calling for the wind and rain. It’s not as violent as Westerners. If you don’t listen to me, I will burn you into coke. From the "Divine Comedy", we know that the West has felt that hell is terrifying because of the fire everywhere. , Western dragons, in a sense, represent a kind of scary horror-although Chinese dragons are scary, most of them come from awe.
Also, I suddenly realized that the Chinese dragon always seems to be a flat image, no matter how ugly it is, it is all on 2D paper. Even if it is on the Nine Dragon Wall, I think it is flat and can’t be scared. I. Western dragons seem to be very vivid and specific. Just like the real one, they hatch from eggs and grow up slowly. (I never know how Chinese dragons are born. It seems that Chinese dragons don’t lay eggs. Is it a viviparous ? Then there is no female dragon, who will be born?), I think there may be such a creature.

After a lot of gossip, the dragon in "Dragon Knight" is not scary, it makes it very lifelike, but it is like a large lizard with wings, mainly because the nose is not stylish enough, only two eyes, which is as huge as a Chinese dragon The upturned nose. And there is no dragon's horn, only two legs, I sighed when I looked at it, where is there a bit of Megatron?
Slow footage and music, endless forests, mountains, and lakes. A mythical film made it look like Discovery Channel. I want to say that this is the beginning of "The Lord of the Rings". Wrong-in two hours, I only watched the overture of a blockbuster movie, and the opening of this trilogy was grand enough. I sit in the movie theater with great spirits and miss "The Lord of the Rings". When the BLUE RAY version comes out, I must buy it, because the classics are always missed, especially when I see its unsuccessful followers. .

    It is no exaggeration to say that this is the ugliest dragon of all the dragons I have seen in the movie.
