Ga'Hoole, onomatopoeia, owl's tweet, the literal translation of the title is the guardian of the owl kingdom, the title itself is already vivid enough. Just like the movie translated as "How to Train Your Dragon" in China, the original English title of the film seems to be more concise and easy to understand. The Guardian of the Owls, as the name suggests, tells the same simple and easy-to-understand fairy tales.

These days, it is not necessary to express profound philosophical thoughts through such a fairy tale. Of course, the point is how you have to look at it. It's like watching "The Lord of the Rings". In such a magical epic, Tolkien shaped a nearly complete Middle-earth world, which has its own time, history, geographical structure, race and humanities in the fictional world. It allows you to navigate a fictional world that is detached from reality, and it can also reflect a period of the real world. "Legend of the Guardians" has the taste of "Lord of the Rings" in terms of picture style and music background.

Speaking of the director of this film, Zack Snyder, the previous "Spartan 300" and "Watchmen" mostly used the American comic style to express the violence and blood of the adult world. Similar connection. From the adult world to the children's space, the contrast of content styles creates an extraordinary visual experience.

The visual effects of "Legend of the Guardians" are extremely delicate. The owl's feathers are slightly integrated into the humanized shape, which makes people feel the human nature of the owls, but they exist in the true state of animals. Zac's meticulous grasp of the 3D camera lens, slow-motion close-up is a major feature of this film, which is impressive, there are two flying bridges, the young protagonist Sailin finds the guardian tree in the back of the world. Under the guidance of the general, he used his instinctive gizzard to feel the airflow to learn to fly in the wind. The effect of the raindrops on the feathers in the storm, the slow and meticulous display seems to make people feel it. Another set of scenes similar to this is in the final battle, the aerial duel between Sailin and his brother Kun Lang who became the enemy, flying in the sea of ​​fire, flying in the wind is thrilling but elegant and elegant.

It is not uncommon to humanize animals in movies and animations, but in the new trend of film production, under the new 3D animation mode and 3D projection mode, films showing humanized animal themes have made a qualitative leap in technology. . Compared with "Happy Feet" in 2006, which was also produced by Warner Bros., this film has the same effect in shaping the image of animals. It is also the protagonist of birds. The difference between penguins and owls lies in whether they can fly or not. However, people have expressed them as cute, cute and even cute images. Of course, the audience of such animated films are children, and such image creation can give us a protective and caring mentality to treat these animals that coexist with humans, which is also an important aspect of humanizing animals in films. The purpose is to protect nature and protect the earth's own ecology.

The owl image in the movie is highlighted. It should be said that it started from the "Harry Potter" series of movies. The real and beautiful snow owl Hedwig gives people a smart and lovely feeling.

Zach's new film Sucker Punch, another stylized masterpiece, is worth looking forward to.
