Luc Besson's animated films, full of imagination, did not disappoint on the whole.
Although it can be seen that you have worked hard, it still lacks some childlike interest. It is a movie more suitable for adults to watch. However, because the story is simple and full of various novel elements, children may wish to watch it, and they will like it.
This is a story about the strange country of Lilliput. The protagonist Arthur is a ten-year-old child full of imagination and curiosity. He enters the country of Lilliput in search of treasure, and begins a series of adventures and confronts demons. , showing extraordinary courage, he became a hero.
When a normal ten-year-old child belonging to human society enters the world of Lilliput, all the details on this land are magnified. This experience reminds me of the childlike interest in "Six Floating Lives"——
"When Yu Yi was a child, he was able to open his eyes to the sun, to see the autumn leaves clearly, and to see the texture of the small things, so there is an interest outside the things...
I often squat on the concave and convex parts of the soil wall, where the flowers and platforms are mixed with small grasses, and make it align with the platform; I look carefully, taking the thickets of grass as forests, insects and ants as beasts, soil and gravels as hills, and concave as ravines. , wandering among them, feeling contented.
One day, I saw two worms fighting among the grass, I watched it, and it was booming. Suddenly, a huge creature came up from a mountain and fell a tree, covering it with a toad. With a tongue, the two worms were swallowed up. When Yu was young, he was in a trance and was surprised. God calm, catch shrimp toads, whip dozens of them, and drive them away from the courtyard. "
The happiness of a child is so simple and pure, everyone has had childhood, I believe everyone will feel the same, and will smile knowingly at this innocent and childish behavior.
The two have the same interest. The difference is that Arthur has really become a villain, completely changing the perspective of observing everyday things, rather than relying on his own fantasy to complete the exploration of the world.
All the details are magnified, as if the cover that we are accustomed to in daily life has been torn off, and the strange and fantastic kernel inside is revealed, which is another wonderland.
Sleeping in flowers, rafting in straws, dancing on records, ageing by the blooms of moonflowers, long ears that pixies fanned desperately for kisses.
Everything is imaginative, everything is beautiful.
Arthur's opponent is a demon who can't be named like Voldemort, but to be fair, apart from the disgusting appearance, this demon is quite charming, elegant, disgusting, vicious and conceited.
There are villains in real life and fantasy, but in a tense environment, it is full of joyful and relaxed adjustments. Of course, returning to the real world, returning to the state of adults, it is easy to destroy these small evil villains.
In Lilliput, Arthur defeated the devil, fell in love with the princess, and found his long-lost grandfather. Back in the real world, he found the ruby and saved the house from being taken away. The villain who was greedy for the ruby also got the punishment he deserved, and everyone was happy.
The film also conveys the importance of family and family, full of warmth.
Arthur has a pair of careless parents who are always absent in his life, send him to boarding school, never share his birthday with him, always perfunctory, after learning the existence of the treasure, they don't care about the disappearance of the child at all. Fortunately, there is a grandmother who has been guarding him, loving him, and caring for his growth.
Although the story is a little loose, the whole is still complete. When the foreshadowing that I enjoyed most early appeared, everything had a cause and effect.
All in all, it's still a movie worth watching.
