Blame! ——The sci-fi comics created by Bi Pingmian have a strong combination of hard sci-fi and stream of consciousness. This time I was fortunate enough to be picked up by Netflix and adapted into a theatrical version, and I am looking forward to it.
Briefly, enter the theater version and find out.
This work is 106 minutes long. It is impossible to sort out and tell the story and connotation of the original work in such a short period of time. Therefore, the audience does not need to be picky, and it is the key to see its essence.
Aspect 1, the reduction degree of the original work When it
comes to "reduction degree", we have to mention two aspects - world view and background character. Personally, "It's not perfect, but it's enough to attract fans to the pit."
From the perspective of the "worldview" - the doomsday complex, human beings are dominated by automated machines, looking for the way of survival, freedom and future. Completely faithful to the ideology of the original.
Judging from the "background characters" - stern and dark. The dark tones and oppressive atmosphere of the whole chapter focus the audience's attention on the big screen. This "atmosphere rendering" is infinitely close to the original work. The jerky and dark background and the cold and unruly protagonist are not the reproduction of the original work?
Aspect 2, the aesthetics of the picture
The production company of this film is still under the responsibility of POLYGON PICTURES. After the "Knight of Sidonia", it is the second time to join hands with Bi Ping Mian to launch a sci-fi animation series. Compatibility and connectivity are perfect. This kind of "perfection" is especially reflected in the picture. Because of the hard sci-fi style, this work has much less dialogue than other types of animation, which means that "the audience will unconsciously pay more attention to the quality of the picture", fortunately The point is that "the picture of this work is unparalleled", every frame, every light and shadow can be said to be perfect.
Aspect 3, the luxury of the seiyuu
Sakurai Takahiro, Hanazawa Coriander, Miyano Mamoru, Hayami Saori, the appearance of these seiyuu is not only a symbol, but also a manifestation of the level of the work. In particular, it is worth mentioning that Hanazawa Coriander and Hayami Saori, their main roles, Cibo and Sanakan, are definitely the highlights of the work.
The book is not exhaustive. The purpose of this film review is just to raise a few eyebrows. I hope more fans can pay attention to this work, and I also hope that "BLAME!" will have the opportunity to be adapted into a TV version like "Knight of Sidonia". At that time, fans can fully understand the world view of the original work, the story line of the original work, and the author's ideological system.
Director ★★★☆☆ (loyal to the original work, unfortunately due to the length, all content can only be clicked)
Voice actors ★★★★★ (all-star lineup)
Plot ★★☆☆☆ (due to the length of the film, there are some story bridges It is not compact enough, the explanation of the causes and consequences is too hasty, and the characters are too hasty)
Visual effects★★★★★ (hard sci-fi style, like)
Sound effects★☆☆☆☆ (ignore the BGM, just listen to the ED)
Recommended crowd: sci-fi fans
