As a fan of Zhan, my motivation is entirely to watch Mr. Zhan watch this British drama, but even Mr. Zhan, I have to say that this drama is a bit boring.
I actually have a different expectation for HDM. I watched the film "Golden Compass" twice when I was in the fourth grade of elementary school, but I didn't finish it. To be honest, the impression is quite deep. One is the ever-changing elves when humans are young, and the other is the golden compass with shining special effects. The shadow version of the truth meter is really worthy of the name "golden compass". I have never seen the ending of being spit out, nor have I read the novel, so I have always thought about the ending, so I was very happy when I heard that Ajan was going to play Asriel, after all, I didn’t know at that time." "Uncle" is actually "Dad".
But looking at it as a whole, it feels very average. The first is the plot. On the one hand, the following plot becomes very similar to a child’s play house. The originally complicated and difficult things passed smoothly; on the other hand, I don’t know whether the original novel is like this or the screenwriter plays mystery. The person watching is at a loss. Secondly, the rhythm of the whole play is not very good, the fast places are slow, and the slow places are fast, so that the feelings are always not in place. For example, where King Faah’s mobilization speech and Billy’s death, my personal feelings have been dragged down, and there is no wave in my heart, and I even feel a little deliberate. But in some places, it was rushed, making some feelings abrupt. For example, Lee stated his love for Lyra like a witch, but it is hard to imagine that their relationship had reached the point where it could be described by "love".
Of course, there is also the problem of the role of Lyra. In a word, this Lyra does not have the charm that makes people like it at a glance. Compared with the film version, it is really not pleasing enough, and it does not have the feeling of "little cat". Although it is the same jumping up and down and full of nonsense, but the drama version lacks the innocent feeling behind it, so that the strange "wild" is more like the rude "barbaric". As a result, in the story with Lee and the Armored Bear, it is hard to believe that the two will have such a deep feeling for Lyra in a short period of time.
Then about the acting skills of Little Wolf Girl. Because it is a male fan, I have always had filters for the little wolf girl. The wolf girl, the wolf girl, compared to the little wild cat, it is true that the little wolf pup has a stronger feeling of vigor. The shaping of Lyra is also related to the design of the characters by the director and production, but it can also be seen that the wolf girl is still a bit blunt in acting. I think it’s a good deal with some emotional outbursts, but it’s not soft enough in Lyra’s fragile areas. It seems that there is only a way to speak softly. Combined with the ending of "Logan", this part has not made much progress. , I hope there can be more growth in the second season. Finally, I think Little Wolf Girl is very suitable to play Gabi Jiabi in the giant. If the giant has a live-action version, then Gabi should be hers.
"Bad Woman" Mrs. Coulter, the drama version and the movie version are different "bad". The film version has a feeling that the big devil is in control of the overall situation, and the drama version highlights how Mrs. Coulter interacts with the church to achieve her own goals, showing another charm, and perhaps also the makeup design and black hair factors. Compared with the drama version of Coulter, it is more sinister. With a clever tongue to make up for no longer controlling the overall situation, coupled with a little neurotic and beautiful and coquettish appearance, it is probably conceivable that Mrs. Coulter was a "little master" when she was young, and it is not surprising that she can capture Asriel's heart. Ruth's acting skills are really good, his eyes are full of drama, of course he is also very beautiful.
One of the little surprises when watching the show was Will. Because I haven't read the novel, I don't know if this role is restored, but in terms of the plot, Will is very flattering. Mature, calm, with a certain amount of force, and very caring, is a character worth entrusting, compared to the heroine Lyra, more "chosen son" feeling, more credibility, I don't know about the second season and What kind of sparks will Lyra have.
Finally, talk about my Ajan. No way, the filter is too heavy to make an objective evaluation. When he comes out, I will just "ahhhhhhh", my baby is the best! But there are too few scenes! During the promotion, you thought he was the number one male, but there was only a little bit at the beginning and the end. Fans, BBC! I can only play about the performance. The feeling of acting "uncle" at the beginning is very real. The indifference and warmth are handled just right, completely shaping the feeling of "uncle acting as a father". In the back part of the snow-capped mountains, I became more gentle after identifying my father's identity. When I asked Lyra to get up, I called Daddy directly! But the light was too dim (I knew it was necessary for the plot), and I didn't see my baby's face until the back door opened! He is so beautiful! The eyes are so blue! (He is my sweetheart no matter what!)
Finally, a little bit about special effects and music supplements. To be honest, I’m a bit disappointed in the special effects. You know that the shiny compass that astounded me back then. I knew it was a good thing at first glance. You don’t need to know what it was for. . Traces can still be seen in the special effects of the elves. Although smooth but not light enough, there is no real animal feeling. This part is not as good as the film version. But the music is good, the theme song is grand enough, and the interlude is also good. I personally like the song I sang during the cremation of Billy.
