Elves, golden compasses, bears in armor, witches, gypsies..., at first impression, this is an inferior fairy tale, right? It’s not even enough for teenage fantasy. However, if some parents mistakenly think so and watch this show with their little baby, they will be embarrassed and suffer a 10,000-point mental crit, leaving a deep shadow of childhood. Ah.
The movie Golden Compass was actually shot well, the visual effects were first-rate, the actors were eye-catching, and the adaptation was reasonable, but it was not very pleasing, and the box office reputation was general. Why? In addition to the fact that the West is more sensitive due to religious reasons, I think the biggest reason is that this is not a movie suitable for a family to watch.
Under the superficial low-child setting, the original is too dark and cruel: the dean who raised himself wants to poison his uncle (dad); the beautiful lady who kindly adopted him is a big demon (mother); The little friend who accompanied him on the adventure was clicked by his father as the experimental material! In fact, if you look at the third part of the original book, cutting off the link with the elves to gain energy does not have to be children, but adults do. Why doesn't his father catch a wicked person to experiment? The presiding judge of the Holy See is very noble to use himself as a victim.
The movie and the series are darker than the original. In the original, the gypsy nanny's son Billy is at least safe to go home, but the movie and the series have the ambition to replace the Lost Boy with Billy. Laila is really a lone star.
The more refreshing part of the series is the simultaneous integration of the second part of the content, but the second and third parts of the original work are actually more hollow, darker, and more undesirable. How to shoot the second and third seasons is really a test. Well, after all, at the end of the first season, it feels a bit procrastinated.
The movie version of the heroine is very suitable, combining the beauty, wildness and cunning of Laila, mainly relying on flickering; the little wolf female version of Laila is too "martial", not deceiving people to pay for their lives. The feeling of a scheming little girl. The lady in the drama version is not beautiful enough, and she often does monkey moves. It is a bit inconsistent with the original work. After all, the lady's seduction technique in the original work is "killing the gods" (literally)! In this way, the promotion of the following plot may be a bit embarrassing. How can such a beauty block murder, god block murder, eat all ages, new love and old love together?
In the third part of the original book, the final way to change the direction of the "dust" is to reconcile the yin and yang of the man and woman. How big is this man and woman? If the parents accompany their little baby to see this place, they will probably worry about their puppies again...
