For a long time, Japanese movies and TV dramas like to adapt their own animations, just like the Celestial Dynasty likes to adapt famous books and novels. Compared to Japan's animation changes, our path of change has become more and more outrageous, and Japan's animation changes have become more and more refined.
Personally, I think that compared with novel adaptations, it is slightly more difficult to change anime. After all, the text gives people more room for association, and the way to change it will be more flexible. Now is not a time when many adaptations are criticized, and screenwriters will jump out and say that this is an adaptation of the original novel they understand, which seems to mean that the audience does not understand the original. Although anime first appeared on paper like text, but compared to the impression described in large paragraphs of text, anime has more realistically reflected characters and other things, and people who watch it will naturally have one in their minds. complete image.
I usually feel a little worried when watching comics adapted movies. I'm afraid that the appearance of the film is not enough. If it is really just that the actors look very similar to the original, then what is the difference between watching a cosplay. I have to say that this movie is not only very close to the original in terms of characters, props, and environment, but also the action and temperament are quite good. What I don't want in this kind of movie is to see the director make the scene too exaggerated in pursuit of special effects, causing the viewers to be confused and confused. Those exaggerated actions and scenes in the anime are just tasted in the movie and are not over-exaggerated. They truly conform to reality and respect the original work.
However, there are flaws in the perfect movie. The protagonist of the action scenes in it often spins on the ground like a spinning top, and occasionally shows bluffing movements, which are unavoidable.
It can be seen that Japanese movies are actively learning the essence of Western movies while absorbing their own advantages. Due to the background of the times, it is impossible to make the scene too grand, at least the fighting scene has changed from a small group of fights in the past to a group fight, and the giant ship at the end is also very large in style.
Let's talk about music. As a fighting nation, the background music when fighting is what anime fans like me appreciate the most. This movie also uses music just right. The intense percussion when the battle is in full swing, and the moderate relaxation when it is calm, makes people feel the urge to fight. Unexpectedly, the music at the end of the film turned out to be English lyrics, which really has a feeling of being close to the world.
Personally, I have never been used to the dialogue of characters in Japanese movies. Most of the time, I feel a little naive and sloppy. Zuozhisuke's words are a bit too many and most of them are not nutritious, but fortunately, the protagonist does not have a lot of words, so it will not reduce the film. Too many points.
Overall it's a pretty good movie, hopefully it will give a hint to some adaptations.
