At the beginning of the movie, the otherworldly scene where modern machines and ancient landscapes are spliced together is a bit overwhelming. In order to keep the narrative clean and concise, the director simply eliminated most of the protagonist’s background and turned Allen into an orphan. This is beneficial. , directly got rid of the burden of the narrative, and cut into the theme cleanly, but at the same time, it also made the image of the protagonist a lot thinner, lacking the sense of mission and burden in the original work, and it killed a big foreshadowing in the original work— ——"Why Ellen became a giant", "If it is not supplemented and saved later, it will be difficult to bring the audience into the movie. Obviously, the director did not do this.
The subsequent plot development was quite satisfactory. Allen’s curious nature made him take his friends to the fence, but the guards who appeared immediately surprised me. I thought I would see the poster and the original book with a three-dimensional mobile device. Handsome players, but I didn't expect to see the "team of devils" who appear on TV every day and then get crowded. The sense of sight of the devil entering the village came spontaneously.
Skip these bad points, the plot in the next few minutes is quite satisfactory, and the tragic expression of the giant killing is still quite good. The story continued. Amin's father was killed by the giant before he even appeared on the stage. The director was too impatient, so he tied the protagonist Yu and his friends together. Then Mikasa was attacked by the giant and his whereabouts were unknown. Allen was heartbroken and joined the army. Determined to destroy the giant, in fact, the story here is not satisfactory, basically follow the original book, but the original death of Allen's mother turned into the disappearance of Mikasa, which became the root of Allen's revenge.
In a flash of two years, Allen's military experience was omitted as expected, but the director was too hasty, and moved to two years later without giving a single shot, and then reluctantly introduced the audience to the long-overdue three-dimensional maneuvering For the installation, the development of the plot behind it is a bit bad. Before the audience can recognize the characters, the protagonist and a group of team members are sent to perform dangerous tasks in a hurry, or is it related to the survival of human beings, can’t be more careful? On the way forward, the originally imagined giant attack did not appear. On the contrary, the protagonist and the single mother Huan caused a catastrophe and led to the siege of the giants. Originally, this is not a bad thing. The baby giant is also an innovation. Instead, the team members ran away like frightened birds. If the director wanted to express the fear of human beings facing giants, he should not have turned a group of strictly trained warriors into refugees who could only run away and scream. After the famous team members, everyone stumbled to the destination, and then Mikasa and Levi appeared to rescue everyone. The most puzzling thing was that when the protagonist faced his girlfriend who had been identified as dead, he didn't say a word, just acted astonished and let him People wondered if the protagonist had lost his mind. At first, I thought that the director played a trick to make Mikasa lose his memory and not remember Allen's trick. Later, he found out that he didn't want to kill him at all, and he was still blaming why he didn't save himself and the child in the first place. The most unbearable thing was that the director put the Levi was ruined by this virtue. In addition to retaining his strength as "the strongest human being", the image in the movie is basically a wretched uncle who is perverted and salty. It's fine if he doesn't find a handsome guy to play it, but he is still allowed to play. Grab a woman with Ellen! ! In the film, when he feeds Mikasa an apple very obscenely, his image is basically scum.
The story has developed to this point, the director estimated that he was afraid of the audience's visual fatigue, and actually arranged a passionate scene! ! The young couple in the team were afraid of the giants to death not long ago, and then they dared to play a field battle when no one was hiding countless giants around, and their own safety was a problem! ! It is estimated that I want to relax, so as to complete the task explained by the director. Not only that, the director also specially arranged for the single mother Huan to seduce the protagonist! ! Speaking of this scene, is this atmosphere really suitable for flirting? If the director wants to add the element of love triangle, I will endure it. After all, Mikasa is not a protagonist now, and it is another innovation of the original work, but why is this single mother being given to life by the giant before the protagonist can react? swallowed! ! The characters who thought they would play an important role in the future were instantly killed. Did the director really just let her come out to flirt to ease the atmosphere? Makes people very speechless.
Then the plot came to the decisive battle, but most of the time the protagonist was running around, and most of the pictures were of Levi and Mikasa's handsome kills and the stupid fights of the team members. Then the biggest urine point of the film came. The so-called "thief" who appeared, stole the explosives that symbolized the last hope of mankind, but was snatched away by the mad woman who lost her husband among the young couples to blow up the giant. With a bang, I couldn't sit still and cursed in my heart. Director, this plot is too brainy. A movie can make the audience doubt, but it must not be too much, and it must not be indiscriminately without a foreshadowing. Although you may be foreshadowing for the next movie, this is also It was too abrupt. When the explosives exploded, it was estimated that the audience was still in the fog, and some of them might still be scolding the young couple who were fighting in the field (such as me)—you deserve to be called to fight in the field!
In the stumbling, the protagonist finally learns to fight with giants (he dares to be sent out to perform tasks), just like the original book, Alan was bitten off by the giants, and then was eaten into the stomach of the giants, and he became a giant again and came out to kill The Quartet abused other giants, but the director did not explain why Alan became a giant. He wrote the protagonist's parents early and didn't think about how to connect them later. This is a major failure of the adaptation of this film.
As mentioned earlier, it is very difficult to adapt a whole season of anime into a movie. The director and screenwriter of this film are also hard work, but while greatly changing the original work, we must not lack or omit the psychological spirit of the main characters, that is, The description and characterization of the characters is a pity, the characters created in this film are not very successful, the only impressive Levi has also become yin and yang, and the large deletion makes the characters, especially the protagonist, look more Very thin, people who have read the original book may know the character of the protagonist in advance, but for those who have not read the original book, the end of a movie is just an eye addiction, and it has never really entered the movie with the protagonist. The world created, feel what the movie wants to express, because the protagonist himself has little content, and is poor and pale.
In general, although it is not a masterpiece, or even comparable to other movies of the same genre, it can always pass the time and won't make people so bored that they yawn. The movie was entertained with friends over the weekend. No one had read the original book except me. Although no one said it was good after watching it, some clips still made us hooked. In short, after watching it, it could not be considered a boring movie It just needs a lot of improvement. I also look forward to the next one, and I hope the director can turn it around and shoot a good work.
