Memories are in the world, and only memories are left

My viewing order is like this. I first watched "Happy Manchuria 2" and thought it was so, curiously corresponding to the easter eggs, I went to watch "Happy Manchuria", which is indeed a classic, really fragrant, and then watched it again. I went through "Happy in the World 2" again, um, it's still average, but there are several places worth looking for easter eggs.

The core point of the two films is also a bright spot, and at the same time a point of controversy. It is Mary Poppins, the magical lady. It can be said that Julie Andrews in the previous film and Emily Blunt in this film are completely two Style, although Emily tried to think forward, that is, to make the British style of holding a shelf, chest and abdomen and chin, she succeeded, and she succeeded in shaping a typical British nanny image; but This Mary Poppins is not the one we like. It can be said that the reason why "Man of Joy" was popular in Europe and America in that era is indeed because of Julie Andrews's successful shaping-an Englishman who is not a typical Englishman.

In "Happy in the World", Mary Poppins' smile is full of youth and enthusiasm. Although she still holds her chest and abdomen and chin, her smile is touching.

The film upholds the gorgeous style of Disney's musicals. This style has a good continuation from the previous work to this one. The setting of the City of London is more realistic and magnificent under the technical level of 2019, but to be honest, as a family Movie-watching musicals do not rely on so-called grandeur and technology as their selling point. This is especially true in 2019. On the contrary, several special effects of the previous work were really refreshing at the time, and even many ideas were completely copied in the sequel. It is both the success of "Happy Manchuria" and the sadness of "Happy Manchuria 2". what.

If there is any change in "Happy in the World 2", then it is the addition of an unqualified villain like Uncle Face. It must be said that Uncle Face with a mustache does look fluent.

In short, "Happy Man 2" brings us more memories, memories of the excellent quality of the previous work, but as an independent film, it seems to be nothing bright.

    This time Nanny's existence feels so weak and strange. The front three-quarters of the Disney fan filter are taken off, and the front three-quarters are rather boring, especially the static pictures at the beginning are displayed for a long time. The cast and crew are too playful... It gives me the feeling that I want to copy the previous work in terms of bridges and music, but they have not achieved the desired effect. Most of the songs can hear the tune of the previous work, but the level of brainwashing is far worse. The only brighter is the lamplighter. The dancing is less verbose than the chimney dance of the previous work. The color is still very pleasing to the eye. The 2D animation was originally a part I was looking forward to, and it felt that it was not as wonderful as I imagined (it didn't reach the previous level at all...)  … But let me watch Lin Juju jumping on the big screen for three hours. I can watch it too. He is really cute www and fits the role this time.

    The complete re-enactment of the old version, not only the concept and sequence of the plot points of the song and dance have not changed, but the ideology of the crisis of class downward (and the relief of the crisis)/The only way's UP is the same. In the old version, I like the group dance of chimney sweepers the most. The city roof allows workers to exist in a space different (or even higher) from the middle class. The blue-black tone and the power of dance also contrast with the dreamy atmosphere of the middle class. This light worker Group dances are far less creative in terms of space and color. The stage feeling of a lamppost is too heavy, leaving little room for choreography, and the workers’ nights seem too bright. Therefore, the softening of class differences makes the nanny's ability to freely shuttle between the two classes no longer important. This also minus the story of her introducing the bottom people (such as the grandmother who sells bird food) to middle-class children, even if it is set in the Great Depression. In the era, the class difference becomes bigger and more invisible, and the middle class is still safe and blind. The only change is the patrilineal parents. Ben is a very good casting role. He brings a soft temperament that is opposite to that of his father. In addition, the new era's harsh British accent imitates the successor-Lin Juju.
