Let's go back to movies. First of all, the film is very good, there is no doubt about it. Whether it is a veteran fan for more than ten years, or an audience who has come into contact with Naruto for the first time, they will admit the "conscience" of this theatrical version. However, after reading this "Bo Ren Biography", what I thought of was "Star Wars 7: The Force Awakens", which was also released in mainland China for the first time this year. It can be said that the screenwriting techniques and internal logic of "Boren Biography" are exactly the same as "Star Wars 7". This makes ten-year-old fans such as me feel happy and regretful.
[Story structure: old bottled new wine, inheritance or old-fashioned? ]
To say that the biggest feature of "Star Wars 7" is "change the soup without changing the medicine", using a brand-new character relationship to package and restore the most traditional Star Wars story. The new Star Wars trio is almost the counterpart of the old trio, and the story also returns to the family love-hate entanglement of the old Star Wars trilogy, coupled with a brand-new visual experience, bringing satisfaction to both new and old audiences. The intention of returning to the tradition of "Bao Ren Biography" is also obvious: the new "three group" is composed of Naruto's son Bo Ren (Jiraiya), Sasuke's daughter Sarana (Tsunade), and Orochimaru's son March. It's a copy of the old Sannin. Time flies so fast, after Naruto and the others have given birth to children, it's time for the next generation Chunin exam. And the Chunin exam is naturally impossible to calm down, and there is an evil big boss quietly brewing a big conspiracy...
The Chunin Exam is one of the most classic chapters of Naruto. In the battle royale setting, it emphasizes both individual ability and teamwork, and the ninjas show their supernatural powers and fight their wits and courage. In the early stage, before the "opening" flooded, the competition was the combination of ninjas' flexible use of abilities and resourcefulness. Shikamaru used the shadow imitation technique to "hit the wall" to defeat the opponent is a very exciting example. Coupled with colorful and imaginative ninjutsu displays, fast and tense rhythms, Naruto at that stage can be described as a classic. When it comes to "Boren Biography", it is a familiar trio, a familiar Chunin exam, a familiar moth (?), even if I had known that the sons of the protagonists were wearing the halo, they would definitely go through many tests and finally kill the miscellaneous fish to qualify. By the way, to save the world, fans still have fun with "re-walking the Chunin Road" with nostalgia.
After that, the story took a sharp turn: (there are spoilers in this paragraph, readers who don't want spoilers can skip it) As expected, the
big boss jumped out in the middle of the exam to make trouble, and Naruto was kidnapped by the boss in order to protect the people. Boren, who didn't understand his father because of Naruto's busy work and neglected his family, finally understands his father at this moment. Sasuke brought Bo Ren and the other four shadows to rescue Naruto. In the end, Sasuke, Naruto, and Bo Ren rubbed a super-large spiral pill and worked together to kill the boss and save the world again (yes, the four shadows who went with him almost did everything. I didn't do it, I ate tea, ate melon seeds and watched a play, and the boss was killed by the kid Boren).
This section is very beautiful, with all kinds of big moves and various special effects, the background music is very exciting, and it is a combination of memory killing and father and son (basic friends), which makes people's hearts surging. However, when I come back to my senses after watching it, and think back to the previous Chunin exam and the early Naruto plot, I will feel that something is wrong.
[Story Weird Law: Hard work can't compare to genius, genius can't compare to daddy]
Naruto said in an interview before: "The most important thing in Chunin exams is hard work and teamwork." In the pursuit of "hard work! Friendship" Victory!" of "Youth Jump", hard work and teamwork are also things that were emphasized many times in the early "Naruto". Kakashi taught us time and again how important our companions are and how important our team is.
Then what? What does "Bo Ren Biography" show us? It only takes three people to beat the boss: the protagonist, the protagonist's basic friend, and the protagonist's own son; it's who you are Cooperation is useless, women are useless, anyway, it will only be a hindrance, don't even go to the battlefield, just be good at home; even if you only study for a few days, but because your father is Hokage and you are a genius, you can master others Spiral pills that take a few years to learn; even if you are a primary school student who can only make ping pong ball-sized spiral pills, because your father is Hokage, you can throw his super-large spiral pills and defeat the four shadows together. A super-powerful boss who has no power to fight back; he is a physique genius who cares about your hard work, a high-IQ strategist who cares about you, who cares about your wind, water, and fire, and who cares about your white-eyed writing wheel-eye. Standing aside in front of the boss, only the godlike protagonist (and his base friends) can defeat.
Yes, in the early stage of "Naruto", it looked good because the ninjas showed their magical powers, and the failure in the later stage was to increase the status of Naruto and Sasuke infinitely, so that they were not in the same order as other (normal) people. All the positive characters are set off as cannon fodder, and the bad-looking villains are just advanced cannon fodder on the way to upgrade. A superpower that goes beyond common sense is like blowing bubbles, the more inflated, the more brittle it becomes.
When I thought that "Boren Biography" would make Sasuke and Naruto abdicate and let the new generation take the stage and present their own splendor, I didn't expect "Boren Biography" and "Star Wars: The Skywalker Family Biography", "Sword" Like "Legend of the Legend of Li's Heroes", it has become another story of family grievances and entanglements against a grand background. The official complaint in "Boren Biography": "Do you think Hokage is hereditary?" It finally pulled back a bit of a passionate tone, but "My father is Hokage, my grandfather is Hokage, my grandfather's master's master is Hokage, I My father's master's goddess is Hokage, my father's master's goddess' grandfather and his younger brother are Hokage, my father's teacher is Hokage, my whole family is Hokage, anyway, Hokage is the monopoly of our family." "Naruto is the most annoying thing", the second rebellion is unconvincing.
Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if Bo Ren did not become Hokage in the future, but the daughter of Sasuke who shouted "I am the woman who wants to be Naruto" all day long has come true, and Bo and Zoryana are married, then they Combining the children born with white eyes, writing wheel eyes, reincarnation eyes, the power of nine tails, fairy physique, strange power, and slug immortality, it is estimated that they are the strongest in the Naruto universe. I am afraid that the evolution of human beings will be the end of ninjutsu, and then the post-magic era will retreat, and the scientific era will rise...
far away. In short, through the main story of Naruto and "Boren Biography", the story of Diaosi's counter-attack that seems to emphasize hard work and teamwork has finally evolved into a big wave of fighting fathers. Even in the new chapter, there is no unreasonable setting to try to save the protagonist. Instead, the entire new generation of children has become a firm supporter of this "blood theory". "After all, he is a young master of bloggers" and "as expected of a genius", such a compliment is really ironic.
[Family Relationship: On the Influence of Native Family on Parent-Child Relationship]
Let's be positive. In "Biography of Bo Ren", the transformation of parent-child relationship is a very interesting dark thread. Boren has both parents, and has a lovely younger sister. His father is Hokage, and his living conditions are higher than when Naruto was a child. As Naruto said, "He's not like me, his clothes are always clean". Corresponding to the abundance of material conditions, it is the lack of paternal love of Bo people. Although Bo Ren has a Naruto father, Naruto is always busy with official business and rarely takes care of his family. Even his daughter's birthday is accompanied by the shadow clone. As for bloggers, he doesn't know how to discipline them, either by giving a few words of praise via e-mails, or by lecturing when they meet. The ability to "love" is acquired. Naruto, who lost his parents since childhood and grew up in discrimination by villagers, does not know the correct way to express "love" to his children when he is an adult. It's not so much that Naruto can't educate children, it's better that Naruto doesn't know how to express his feelings due to the lack of love when he was a child. Sasuke, who grew up in a warm family (although he suffered a change in his youth), is more handy than Naruto in parent-child relationship.
Naruto's old clothes are a clue. The blogger disliked it and threw it out of the upstairs angrily, to Sasuke picking it up and returning it, to (temporarily) losing his father after the blogger took the initiative to wear it, which symbolized the change of the blogger's attitude towards Naruto. The reason why Naruto and Sasuke, the tail of the crane and the genius can become close friends is largely because they both share a common loneliness because of the death of their parents. In terms of feeling of loneliness, Boren and Naruto are similar. He has a computer in his room, a game console in his life, he has many friends, and he also has emotions and secrets that he can't tell his relatives and friends. The mental state of bloggers is closer to that of contemporary teenagers.
The attitude of the villagers towards bloggers is the coddling and compliment of the "eldest young master". From the perspective of inheritance, bloggers are very similar to Naruto who "if the four generations hadn't died". A pampered son of an aristocratic family, an ordinary brother and son, there is no blood feud and no wish that must be fulfilled, and the biggest trouble is only getting the approval of his father. It can be said that Boren is Naruto in parallel time and space. Naruto's compensation for him and his teaching are largely psychological compensation for his childhood. The father-son relationship between Naruto and Boren is what Naruto has for the fourth generation and himself. projection.
Unfortunately, the portrayal of female characters in "Bo Ren Biography" is very weak. After Hinata and Sakura got married, they became a good wife and mother, especially Hinata, who played the traditional role of "loving mother". It is difficult for her to say anything about Boren's education. Even if there is a conflict between father and son, all she does is hug and cry with her daughter. The efforts to rescue Naruto when he was kidnapped showed a little initiative. In a family environment where the father is missing, the mother is weak, and the younger sister needs to take responsibility, the blogger may replace the father's role in the family and develop a precocious side. However, the favorable family conditions, the alienation of the father's love, the hope that the son will become a dragon, and the weakness of the mother may also cultivate the second generation of "little overlord" officials like Li Tianyi. All in all, the family education of Naruto and Hinata was not very successful. Naruto never let the children really understand himself, and many things he wanted to say were limited to oral teachings. It may be because they were also born in an unfortunate family of origin, so they are also powerless in the education of the next generation. The family formed by Sakura, who came from an ordinary family, and Sasuke, who also experienced family affection when they were young, has a much better education for her daughter.
No matter how I complain, this theatrical version still makes me very happy to watch. Don't say nonsense such as time is not old, youth is not scattered, just say one thing to all Naruto fans: It's worth the ticket price, go see it! If the theatrical version of "Itachi True Story" is released, it must be released in China!
