1. About the background. The film is a reproduction of the original novel by Roald Dahl (1916-1990), and the character modeling draws on Quentin Blake's illustration book. The essence of ". Although the current box office of this film is not optimistic, it definitely does not mean that this is a bad film. In fact, I think this is the most worth watching film in recent times, and its box office failure can be attributed more to the current viewing environment and the little prince's comment, "Now adults don't dream anymore."
2. About the movie. Spielberg should not be quite old yet, and the language of the camera is very old. Judging from the curve of his works, although the themes of "The Adventures of Tintin", "War Horse" and "Bridge of Spies" in recent years are different, the old gentleman is still not confused about the rhythm of the narrative. Some people may think that the queen saves everything is an unfinished act, but this kind of absurd and unfinished narrative should be just in line with Roald Dahl's usual "fun with you" mentality when writing children's novels.
3. About technology. The maturity of the American Emperor in the film industry has been keeping pace with the times. From the glass presented in "The Adventures of Tintin" to the amorphous haze effect of "the BFG", the gap between us and others does not seem to be getting smaller and smaller. but getting bigger. The contrast photography of the giant and the little girl is not original, and "King Kong" has done it perfectly. The good-hearted giant and the heroine Sophie jumped into the lake of dreams and started chasing dreams. Technically, the handling of smoke is more skillful and original, especially when the giant holds the mist in his hands, the indeterminate light penetrates through. When the giant's face is clothed between the fingers, it will indeed make people sigh at the infinite possibilities of technology.
4. About national distribution. Guo Pei should have thought a lot about the text. There is a mother's seiyuu interpretation of the original text on ximalaya, where the onomatopoeia is lost, and the scattered beauty of the text itself is ignored. The giants say "Your Majesty" as "Fuck" and "messy" as "mess", these strange old man's word games are very suitable for children's spleen and stomach. On the one hand, children's language development is not yet mature, on the other hand, children have an innate talent for funny. "Big nose melon" is the snoozecumber that was born. Whether it's a child, old man Ren Rongrong, or the national director of the film, they all convey the magic of Roald Dahl's words.
5. About children. What children need may not be a story with strong logic (of course, logic is also very good), what children need is a plot that can touch him. This kind of plot is best suited to his life experience (so that he can easily substitute for himself), and at the same time it should go beyond his life experience (so that he can obtain expansion possibilities beyond his own experience). The state of giants in this film may frighten children, but regarding the origin of dreams, in addition to the DreamWorks explanation provided by "Inside Out", we have the choice of a kind-hearted giant to be the screenwriter of dreams. There are many things that we cannot explain to children (because, some things are not clear in the first place); curious children want to know what is going on, so we have to tell them under the guise of existing media: I don't know what's going on either, but maybe that's the case. We share the medium of knowledge with children, but leave choices and judgments to children. For younger children, this may be more beneficial to the child's development than those who copy and write.
6. About dreaming and bragging. Roald has a talent for serious nonsense, and he's especially good at getting things right and nuanced. Adults are bragging, children are dreaming, all of this is nothing more than deepening our experience, and the deeper the experience, the more malleable our lives become. "Inception" uses dreaming to extend the dimension of life, and bragging and talking about dreams through literature/movies like "the BFG" should be more interesting than always talking about those studies and work. the end...
