——【Disenchantment】The power of dispelling, removing, enchanting and attracting people.
In layman's terms, "disenchantment" refers to the dispelling of the mystery, sacredness, and charm of science and knowledge. By extension, it can also refer to the subject's cultural attitude towards sublime, paradigm, refined, grand narrative, and meta-discourse. Can refer to doubts or characterization confirmation.
"Disenchantment" created by Matt Groening has undoubtedly won the attention of animation fans the most recently. This producer, who has created the "Simpsons" and "Flying Out of the Future" series, has long been successful and has returned to the audience after 20 years with the help of Netflix, a somewhat "teaching but unclassified" platform.
"Disenchantment" is just like our Matt’s previous works. It has a casual macro story frame: in a medieval style but definitely not in the middle ages, there are elves, gnomes, giants, ogres, fairies, and mermaids. ...In the fantasy world. There is creepy everywhere here, just like the chaotic dream world at the beginning of the second season of "Almighty Detective Agency".
An optimistic princess who tried to escape political marriage, a black demon summoned by a wizard to subvert the regime but without enthusiasm, and an elf who escaped from the happy world in search of the painful experience of life collided by chance. In order to escape fate and pursue oneself, we embarked on a journey together...
The most intuitive feeling of "Disenchantment" is the most vulgar bridge design. Specifically, the level of the yellow storm here is probably between "Horse Man BoJack" and "Crispy Berry Park". Rick and Morty should be friendly. The story is full of sly funny jokes and smirks, and at the same time, it is not full of shit and fart for the sake of the three vulgarities. As an R-level animation, this is undoubtedly friendly to audiences of our age. For example, only in the first episode, we can see "the prostitutes use rouge, and the ladies use leech", which is so fun that there is no way to talk about things with the "three wrong views".
At the same time, we can also see the traditional, early Disney silent film era, the action design that was up and down through the lens and the traditional body jokes that brought laughter:
And such a fragmented piece has to be said that it also reveals the opposite problem: in front of such a fragmented and uninterrupted piece, our viewing experience is split. It's like watching "Deadpool". People put most of their energy into deadpool's unsurprisingly endless passages. With their mouths open all the time, they just rely on the rhythm of the language to grin habitually before the burden is shaken out. He smiled, and where did the specific story go? It seems that there is no way to separate enough energy to think about this problem. When the story of what should be green leaves is overshadowed by the story of safflower, the eyes of those who love are full of green leaves, and the eyes of those who do not love only have safflower, then the imbalance of evaluation standards makes this type of film difficult and simple Determine "good" or "bad"? Maybe just like many friends who chased from "Flying Out of the Future", they couldn't find the thought-provoking story of "Partner Dog" in "Disenchantment". Naturally, they used to be troubled by the sea. Many friends would think this cartoon full of swear words. It is difficult to make adults patiently appreciate it.
Speaking of the drama, in my opinion, the essence of "Disenchantment" is the traditional "defection of adolescence" after all. Everything that Princess Bean (pronounced as Bitch) represents is experiencing the identity crisis experienced by modern young people: when we grow up and find no evidence to prove ourselves, then we have to overthrow everything and find an exit by defecting. Serious but not as negative as Ma Nan's golden sentences, what "Disenchantment" wants to do is ultimately to answer this extremely bitter question with entertainment, anti-heroes, and modern fairy tales in adults. Film and television works can be noisy and heartless, and the posture of "Disenchantment" also shows that its ultimate purpose is not to give big friends a growth education class, but only for entertainment. However, if Matt is worthy of leaving a name in the history of American television and has made breakthrough contributions, and the biggest contributors to the surge of adult animation in later generations are all feared here, then this is definitely not commendable.
Although I said that I am dissatisfied with the results of "Disenchantment", in any case, it is still a very entertaining and complete animation work. I believe that both animation fans and ordinary audiences can be in it. Find the most original viewing pleasure.
