Second, I also admit that I watched it because it was a prequel to Snow White and the Huntsman.
And then, I have to admit, I heard that the movie was played by Liam Neeson (English) (played by Schindler in "Schindler's List", played by Master Ninja in the "Batman" series, Oscar best Nominated for Best Actor) and Liu Feng [Mandarin] (dubbing of Garfield and many other characters in "Garfield" series, dubbing of A Bao in "Kung Fu Panda 1, 2", director of Shanghai Film Dubbing Factory) as narrators, I paid for it A key factor for cinema.
But I was so disappointed!
With Liam Neeson's narration, the film begins.
Liam Neeson's narration at the beginning, explaining the connection between this film and the "Snow White and the Huntsman" film (but you don't know, there is another story), is nice and simple.
The story tells that the hunter Eric and Sarah were childhood sweethearts, but they were separated because of the obstruction of the Snow Queen, who became ambitious because she was deceived by her sister, the witch queen. The Hunter, Sarah and the Snow Queen joined forces to fight the witch queen, and killed the witch, but the Snow Queen was also killed by her sister in order to protect the world. In the end, the Hunter and Sarah lived a happy life.
Let's talk about the translation first, "God of the Hunt: Winter's War", is this name for fear that others will not know that the protagonist of the story is the hunter? And it makes people mistakenly think that this is a science fiction movie.
The character setting of the Snow Queen is directly reminiscent of Elsa in "Frozen": a princess, with a dignified and elegant personality, with ice and snow magic. When I was in the theater, the people next to me thought it was a live-action version of Frozen!
In terms of plot, the first half is indeed a prequel, but the second half skips directly to the follow-up to "Snow White and the Huntsman"! And such a structure may be that the screenwriter wants to grasp both the prequel and the sequel, but can't write it, so there is Liam Neeson's narration to fill the plot, so the first half of the plot is basically Liam Neeson is telling the story + The plot is fast forward, but the plot is dragged on. In the latter part, that is, the follow-up, the assembly of everyone is too simple, and the reason is not clear, so they come together. The final fight, the Winter's War, was so playful that it was inexplicably won.
Or the plot, when the Snow Queen found out that her daughter's death was not caused by her husband, but her sister, the witch queen, controlled her husband with magic, and the reason turned out to be: the Snow Queen's daughter will be the most beautiful in the world. Pretty woman, is this insulting the audience? ! Is Snow White so dead? So what is Snow White and the Huntsman, a sequel to this story and a prequel? !
1. In order to show the bloody love between the hunter and her deceased wife, the story
writer ignored the inner world of the witch queen and the ice queen, which is how they became like this. To sum up, the Queen of Witches: She is jealous, she is a beautiful woman, so she kills her sister's daughter, Snow White (this is obviously a contradiction with the previous one, because she is really dead); Snow Queen: her daughter Killed, broken heart, hatred of human love.
"Love can conquer all" is obviously the theme of this film, but nothing in the film reflects the theme of "love can conquer all", in other words, it is just a slogan, everyone's feelings are so Inexplicably, inexplicably walking together, and inexplicably winning the big villain.
Another point, didn't Snow White go to the Holy Land? Didn't the hunter go to Prince William to find the missing Snow White, but later turned into looking for the magic mirror and sent the magic mirror to the Holy Land? It's really weird!
Therefore, it can be said to fail in the same type of film (there are too few branches; the foreshadowing is obvious, and the end and the middle can be known when you look at it; inconsistent; inconsistent)
2. Special effects
The special effects of the film were created by the "Maleficent" team. It can be said that it was too close to home. Everything seemed too fake, but it was very clean and neat. To be honest, it is suitable for animation, but it is really not suitable for use in live-action movies.
So, fail.
3.
The leading actor is undoubtedly Chris Hemsworth's Eric the God of Hunting. As soon as he appears, he feels like Thor, or it may be that the image of Thor he plays is too popular. However, Chris Hemsworth's emotional scenes in the whole film are basically stateless, and his eyes are no longer as divine as Thor, but empty, and his movements are stiff, which seriously hinders him! It's hard to think that this is the heroic and handsome guy who played Thor!
In stark contrast, Jessica Chastain, who plays the heroine Sarah, is known as "Sister Worker". Every expression and every action is well performed, and her eyes are very charming, especially Xiang Xiang. The part of the God-hunting Archery is all about saving Chris's acting skills!
The best actors in the whole film are Charlize Theron and Emily Blunt, who play the witch queen and the ice queen. It can be said that from head to toe, even a finger is a play.
Emily Blunt plays the Snow Queen in the film. She has a relatively large number of scenes, so she has a lot of room to show Freya's heart: when she first appeared, she met the general's eyes, that kind of cheeky panache. Red, very touching, very real; when playing chess with her sister, the queen, the fear in her heart was very real, and the details were handled just right; her lover's "betrayal" caused her to become angry and become the Snow Queen. She is very real and expresses it very fluently; when Eric and Sara's team of lovers fall into the trap of her icy vision, she expresses Freya's inner struggle and loss to the fullest, telling Audience, the Snow Queen actually still has love in her heart, although she doesn't believe in love, that's what she shows most vividly, telling the audience that the Snow Queen actually still has love in her heart, although she doesn't believe in love, she's just deceiving herself To hide her inner love; when her sister Ravenna was released from the magic mirror, Freya's fear was played impeccably by Emily, especially her apparent restraint in the face of her sister; When she was on the verge of death, her inner peace and her blessings to the hunter and Sarah turned the sound into silence, and even made me feel that the screenwriter should not have added the line "You are so happy, and I" , unparalleled wonderful performance, a lot of extra points for the whole film!
Charlize Theron, who played the role of the Snow Queen's sister witch in the film, used to be the best actress at the Oscars and had seen the "The Devil" starring her (the one where she won the best actress Oscar, in the film Playing a gay prostitute killer with a miserable fate), the aura of the appearance shocked me, and I still remember it deeply, and this time is the same. Every time I appear, the aura is enough to overwhelm all beings. Although the witch queen is the ultimate villain, she has a pitiful few scenes. It is estimated that it will only take about 10 minutes. This is indeed too much emphasis on the performance of the hunter and his deceased wife, so that the audience does not know what the witch queen is here for. Why did it suddenly appear, and this character's inner world is relatively the most complicated, darkest, and most struggling. Because of the pitiful lack of scenes and lines, Theron basically relies on his eyes to convey his feelings to the audience. Although the screenwriter's line "I am your heart" is too perfunctory, Theron's emotional eyes make the audience feel the witch Afterwards, she actually struggled more than her younger sister--killed her husband, her niece (the first part was a stepdaughter, but she didn't die), and also killed her own sister, but she had no way back, "You think I will Don't you want to have a daughter, do you think I want this?" It is more of a concentrated expression of his heart, and these are not shown through the screenwriter's brilliant writing and the director's wonderful shots, but Charlize Theron through his performance. expressed. At the end of the film, when the magic mirror was shattered and Ravenna vanished into nothingness (it was so inexplicable, according to the setting, wasn't she freed from the magic mirror), the anger and fear in her heart were even more stuffed. Long's performance is fantastic!
Therefore, if the acting value is scored according to the percentage system, it can be: the queen of witches 100, the ice queen 99.5 (compared to Theron, it is still a bit inferior) Sarah 60 (compared with the first two, it is really far behind) Hunting God 20 (After all, the appearance is there, at least it’s a vase)
4.
In addition to the two queens’ performances, which are the two major highlights of the film, there are 3 other highlights: styling, shots, and narration, but let’s talk about it first two.
LOOK:
Every time the two queens appear, it's unmistakably a costume show.
Every time the Snow Queen appeared, the audience (including me, of course, also the women) would take a deep breath. It was so beautiful that it was not like a human being, but a real fairy!
When the witch queen appeared on stage, she brought her own queen's aura, and the audience were all fearful, but deeply surrendered to it. She was simply a natural queen!
Shots:
The director is Cedric Sacco, who was nominated for an Oscar for best visual effects for the film's previous film, "Snow White and the Huntsman," and it does give the audience a wonderful shot that looks very It's comfortable, very clean, it's really like being in a fairy tale world, it's just that the delivery of the shots and the cuts and the editor's editing are a little bit worse (the trailer has already revealed everything).
Therefore, in general, the shape and lens belong to the first-class film in similar films.
5. Narration
The English version of the narration is Liam Neeson, who is very immersive. You can imagine the scene when you close your eyes. It is the finishing touch of the film, but it is too long and too much, which reduces the original quality. The same is true for the Mandarin version of Feng, but the narration of these two people is really good, with a sense of picture and substitution, and the accent and pause are just right.
Therefore, the score is 85 points (the difference is that the screenwriter has given too many narrations, and it is uncomfortable to listen to it for a long time. When you go to the cinema, you are watching movies, not listening to audio novels.)
6. Putonghua dubbing
on the dubbing table first:
Chris Hymes Voss as Hunter
Zhang Xin
Charlize Theron as Witch Ravenna
Jiang Yuling
Emily Blunt as Ice Queen Freya
Huang Ying
Nick Frost as Nien
Liu Qin
Sam Clark Flynn as Prince William
as Zhao
LuRob Brighton as Griff
as Guo Yifeng
Jessica Chastain as Sarah as
Zhan Jia
as actor
Wu Di Zhang Qi
Liu Feng Hu Pingzhi Liu Beichen
Cheng Yuzhu, Meng Xianglong
, Zhang Tengbo, Ni Kang,
director Hu Pingzhi
's dubbing surprised me this time. It exceeded my expectations:
Zhan Jia and Jessica Chastain, I thought it should be Zhou Shuai at first, but when Sarah spoke, Zhan good! Great momentum! It fits perfectly! Although the inner struggle is not so perfect, it is also good.
Wu Di's dwarf Bronwyn is very good and funny, Liu Qin's dwarf Nairn and the remaining 2 female dwarves (Mr. Zhang Qi) are equally funny and funny, the dubbing combination of the four dwarfs is almost perfect, it's full The biggest laugh of the film.
Emily Blunt is still Orioles ("The Devil Wears Prada"), classic. Guo Yifeng changed his routine a bit, which was not bad. In my impression, Mr. Gui Nan's dubbing of Thor is very classic, but this time Zhang Xin was replaced, probably because of the change of identity, from god to human, it is necessary to do so, and his temperament is more suitable for the character of the hunting god than Gui Nan. Zhao Lu, everyone should be familiar with it. Han Fei and Dongfang Yuqing in "Bone Flowers" in "Qin Shi Mingyue", this time Prince William played less than 2 minutes because of the lack of words, so it is difficult to judge. . Jiang Yuling's witch queen is generally not as powerful as Li Shirong's witch queen back then. Hu Pingzhi is still an excellent director as always, but he feels that the translation of the film is unsatisfactory and a little blunt.
Therefore, this dubbing can be regarded as a masterpiece, but due to the influence of the overall plot, it cannot become a classic dubbed work like "Zorro" and "Inception".
To sum up:
the excellent points of the whole film: amazing costumes, shocking acting skills of the two queens, excellent dubbing and narration, and clean shots and special effects.
The shortcomings of the whole film: the acting skills of the male and female protagonists are poor, and the narrative of the plot is poor. It is both a prequel and a postquel, which is too chaotic, the camera transfer is slightly poor, and the special effects are too fake.
In short, this is not a movie worth paying to watch, except that you are going to see the vase, I suggest you wait for free resources.
