A work of sincerity, a work of failure

This afternoon, I watched the long-awaited "Kung Fu Panda 3" with my friends and their children in Sanya. Maybe I started to expect too much, and I was disappointed after watching it.
First of all, let’s talk about the advantages, animation, production details (the hair system is better than the previous work), as well as the tone that is obviously oriental, and the art style of 2-dimensional processing that often appears, all of which are quite good, at least at the level of 4 points. The music also does not lose the standard, and the performance of the dubbing teachers is also different. From the theme of this article, finding the "true self", the inheritance relationship with the first two films, and the philosophical height that the director and screenwriter want to play, and the feelings they want to create, 3.5-4.5 points. It can be seen that it is a work full of sincerity, but the success is also Xiao He, and the defeat is also Xiao He.
Let's talk about the plot, character building, logic, rhythm and emotional expression that can only be given 1-2 points.
The plot is simple, the good and the bad are clear at a glance, which is not a bad thing, but the conflict points are far from enough. The characters are too flat and not brilliant. Po's inner confusion and conflict are hardly described, the conflict between the two fathers, this is a very good point of drama conflict, but I don't feel that the director makes good use of these elements. Several main characters are still like this, and the design of the tiger and the villain is even more tricky. Originally, this rhinoceros has many colorful characters, but the whole thing is seen. Compared with the second part of the Peacock Lord, it is at least three grades worse. The logic of this show is flawed. For example, Jiaohu actually found Panda Village so much earlier than the villain. You must know that this place is difficult to find for a long time at the beginning, and the villain has come before! Forget it, the spiritual world has come out, so there is no need to worry about it. Regarding the setting of the spiritual world, I really should accept that this is a fantasy film, not a martial arts film. Also, with so many people in the back, all of them have an epiphany about "qi". I want to say that the foreshadowing in the front is really not enough, really not enough, really not enough! There is absolutely no logic at all. After watching it, a friend told me that the rhythm of the film was too tight. I thought the rhythm was too loose at the time. After listening to her, I suddenly realized that it was not loose where it should be loose, and not tight where it should be tight! For them who don't watch movies often, it's tight, for me it's loose. That is to say, the film really has no rhythm. Many deliberately designed funny scenes have nothing to do with the plot. They not only ruin the rhythm of the story, but also don't make people laugh. At least this is the case when I watched the movie. The tears are also obvious, but it seems that I have high tears recently? There was no crying. The director wants to say that people need to understand themselves and find "who I am". By looking for qi, to understand themselves, and to know themselves, they can reach the highest state of unity between man and nature. Unfortunately, I can see that there is a lot to say, but it is not clear. The father-son relationship, family relationship, and friendship that the family carnival movie wants to express is also very weak and pale. For example, the conflict between Dad Panda's idea of ​​protecting his son and A Bao's responsibility, this conflict has no signs of accumulation at first, but it suddenly broke out, and Dad Panda can be understood directly by a few words Son, I am so embarrassed. There is also the final defeat of the villain. It should be that he didn't find himself, he didn't know who I was, he just blindly took the benefits of others, and finally lost himself and died without showing it at all! Director, it's too late, don't you think? ! Alas, it is estimated that I have no ability to grasp it. From this perspective, Wang Jing is really a good director. To add, I found that European and American family films all pay special attention to the theme of "inheritance", and the spirit of the film must be passed on to the next generation. Where is the human? Not enough.
By the way, when the movie was about 50-60 minutes into the show, the children in the theater couldn’t sit still, and they all told their parents that they wanted to sleep and want to go. It took about 10-15 minutes (actually it was almost over), the parents They couldn't sit still. But after watching the movie, we ate together and ate for more than an hour. My friend's child kept staring at the cartoon in the restaurant, but didn't eat (the restaurant was chosen by the child), you know, in the restaurant, you couldn't hear it at all. Sound, what do children like to watch, really need to study hard.
By the way, my friend thinks that this sub-ticket is worth 80, and the money is for the face of technology and music and art, but in fact, the discounted IMAX ticket we watched is more than 100. My two friends rarely watch movies. I was full of confidence and wanted to cultivate the habit of watching movies with my children. I guess the effect this time is not very good. By the way, this film has good feelings, but it's really not good-looking. I advise everyone if you don't have special feelings, just save some money.
