Wilde and vulgarity.

Ben directed at Wilde's original book, because the boy he described was really amazing. The film also attracted me because Prince Narnia was really handsome.
However, with the development of the plot, the film was made entirely for the director's dissent and selfish interests, and the first half of the film enriched his nudity and sexual peeps on the male protagonist. Why do you say prostitution? Sex, many directors have shown in their films, some from a male perspective, and some from a female perspective. But when it comes to filming the sex itself, the shot is often objective, reflecting the pleasure of two (or more) people. However, the director of this film only cares about the body of the male protagonist and the face when he is aroused, which makes people doubtful. . . (Of course, Wilde did have this tendency when he described these places.)

Another thing I am not satisfied with is the number of supporting characters, or the portrayal of the macro reality. This film is particularly "sketch". I just watched "The Great Detective Sherlock Holmes". There are also several protagonists, and they also describe the United Kingdom. However, the film has put a lot of effort into the depiction of the environment and the depiction of small characters. It can be called a feast with a strong sense of substitution. And this film is like a stage play, and the characters (including all the actors in the supporting show) are only a hundred people. A lot of street scene shots contain only sound and no people, which feels a little rudimentary.

In addition, the hero's self-sacrifice spirit touched me very much. First, he himself was a youth idol that Disney pushed hard last year, but as a result, Narnia’s big money never came back. I didn't expect to learn Anne Hathaway very soon and boldly try to sell meat. It's a pity that the image of the princess has already been deeply rooted in the hearts of Hollywood, and the meat-selling route can also attract attention. Last year, it was nominated for an Oscar. However, our prince did not stand firm on the youth route, so he took off his clothes early. The film is not a blockbuster, so his future starlight is worth worrying about. . . . It's a pity.
