Undoubtedly, "Nezha's Devil Child Comes to the World" is a hit + dark horse movie released this summer. As of now, the new "Nezha" has received 880 million at the box office for four days. Now the total box office forecast has reached 2.75 billion. , and also set a number of records, which can be described as the light of Guoman.
So, the high reputation of the new "Nezha" and the high box office, what are the places that attract everyone? Does the new "Nezha" really deserve the praise of most people? Next, we will talk about these points.
1. Adaptation
Since the film is a familiar character Nezha, this new "Nezha" will unconsciously compare the 1979 "Nezha in the Sea", and even compare the earliest Nezha story in "Fengshen Romance".
For me, each version of Ne Zha has its highlights and features.
In 1979's "Nezha Raising the Sea", everyone knew that he was against feudalism and patriarchy, but I also saw the innocence and mischievousness of Nezha as a child, and his isolation and helplessness in the face of accusations from relatives after making mistakes.
When we were children, how many people, like Nezha, made mistakes and made mischief, but in exchange for their relatives who did not have the patience to understand the truth, they were scolded and beaten. Some children from native families grew up under such "Nezha Naohai"-style education.
The classic line in "Nezha Nao Hai" "Daddy, I will give you back your flesh and blood, I will not hurt you". Every time I see this, I can be touched for a long time.
If Bambi in "Bambi" witnessed his mother being killed by a hunter, and "The Lion King" watched his father die for him, these two animations have become childhood shadows in the hearts of Americans, then "Nezha Nao Hai" Suicide has become an indelible childhood shadow in the hearts of our people.
In "Fengshen Romance", Nezha is even more involved in murdering his father. The hatred between Nezha and his father is designed to be inseparable. This version highlights the image of Nezha against authority.
Today's new version of "Nezha" has made many subversive adaptations. The most important is the change in the image of his father, Li Jing. This change almost reverses the structure of the entire work.
Many people pointed out that the new "Nezha" parent image played a warm card, more in line with the needs of the times, and can earn more sympathy from the audience, but compared to the "Nezha Naohai" parent-son conflict, the new "Nezha" "The family relationship is more immature and childish.
But in fact, the two versions of Ne Zha belong to their own opinions, regardless of the level, there is no need to use your favorite version to criticize other equally wonderful versions.
There are even people who think that the classic "Nezha Raising the Sea" should be re-released on the big screen, and it is considered that the roots are in full bloom.
But have you ever thought that if the new "Nezha" really does this, will someone still stand up and describe the new "Nezha" with words such as "fried cold rice".
Moreover, behind the family card of the new "Nezha", can everyone understand it? Although the film has a warm family package on the surface, it is actually the lack of the company of Nezha's family when he was a child.
Everyone was moved by Nezha's words to his father: "The only regret is that I didn't kick the shuttlecock with you". Behind this sentence, isn't it expressing the anxiety of families in our time.
Throughout the whole new "Nezha", although Nezha's parents love Zha'er very much, they seldom accompany Nezha because of their heavy responsibilities. This lack of companionship is exactly the discussion of our current family issues.
Today, Chinese people are busy with work, and even let our children be left-behind children because of work. Although we all love our children, in order to survive, we have to sacrifice the company of our children, thus causing some problem children.
In the film, although Nezha is the reincarnation of a magic pill and is irritable by nature, the film also gives space for discussion, if his parents spend more time with him, will Nezha become better.
2. Imagination
The biggest feature of the cartoon is the expansion of the imagination. The new "Nezha" has brought the imagination to the extreme, which surprised me, especially the long scene of the four people fighting in Shanhe, Shejitu, I heard that this scene takes time. 4 months to make.
There are also very hot fighting scenes in the back, coupled with very hot lines, although some of the protagonists are old-fashioned, but they do not violate the harmony, showing the charm that the transformed Nezha should have.
Of course, the greatest imagination of this work is the transformation of the original story and original characters.
Nezha's shape, from the heroic spirit we knew at the beginning, became an ugly girl with smoky makeup. It is said that the main creator created thousands of Nezha's shapes at that time, and the director Dumpling chose the ugliest one.
But ugly turns ugly, and the director still hasn't given up on the purpose of creating an actor's appearance from the heart. When we saw the first impression of Xin Nezha, we must think that this baby is not easy to mess with or bring.
Just like when we see the personable image of Ao Bing, the first impression will definitely be that he is a decent person at heart.
And the final trial of Nezha also made people's eyes shine. At first, I was still wondering, if Nezha was good after 3 years, why couldn't he escape the trial, does Tianlei need to be so cruel. As a result, the film made Tianlei as an unconscious prop. Set the time and start the elimination of the target regularly. This setting is very novel.
Of course, there is also a place for imagination, which is that Taiyi's character design is directly changed to Trump's accent. Some people find it very friendly, and some people are surprised. In this imagination, it can be regarded as what they need.
3. Theme: Defiance
The theme of the new Nezha, like the previous Nezha, is all about resistance. But this time the new "Nezha" has added more elements of discussion.
The new "Nezha" discusses in detail the three rebellions of Nezha, which are the pain of rebellious growth, the influence of human prejudice, the resistance to the injustice of fate, and each resistance is a bet for Nezha's final awakening. In the end, when Nezha forced out his six arms, it was also his most original image, which also proved that Nezha mastered his own destiny at that moment.
Good works will ferment more reflection topics under one theme. These topics are placed in different roles by the new "Nezha", and they are also handled very well and accurately.
For example, the dragon clan and Ao Bing, the dragon clan have been suppressed in the sea bottom purgatory for generations. In order to escape, they used another way to resist their own destiny, and the story behind Shen Gongbao, just because he is a leopard essence , can not be reused, so use the prejudice in people's heart and transfer it to Nezha.
Although it seems a bit unscrupulous in our opinion, the stories behind these so-called "villains" make the audience have a strong empathy.
Nezha's parents are also resisting, resisting the injustice of fate to their children, and resisting the established fact that Nezha is the birth of a magic pill.
4. Picking
Even though the new "Nezha" is very good, as a fair evaluation, there are still several points in the film, and I want to take it out and discuss it with everyone.
The most discussed is the real Taiyi. As I mentioned earlier, his Trump and character design are well suited to what he needs, and radishes and vegetables have their own love.
However, Taiyi Zhenren did not do well in some major decision-making actions. For example, responsibility.
Of course, I understand that the new "Nezha" is an animation, and the main audience should be framed among teenagers, so there are many humorous characters and scenes in the film, and Taiyi Real Life is the most important for humorous characters.
But I think humor is okay, but on the day Nezha was born, he was still addicted to alcohol and had no self-control, which indirectly led to the binding of the magic pill and Nezha. It seems that this pot can only be carried by the real Taiyi.
If the symbiosis between the magic pill and Nezha is a prank of chance and fate, maybe Nezha will have a better effect on the theme of rebelling against fate.
Come again, the real Taiyi accepts Nezha as a disciple. In fact, all the abuse was caused by you, the real Taiyi. Now that you accept Nezha as a disciple, you should "make atonement" to make Nezha a useful person, who knows When Taiyi Zhenren was training Nezha, he was still sleeping and ignoring him, which made people feel that Taiyi Zhenren was too irresponsible.
So, having said that, did the real Taiyi really rely on a related household to ask Yuanshi Tianzun to give him the waitlist for the last immortal seat, which made the role of Taiyi real person just come out to laugh.
Of course, the real Taiyi finally blocked the lightning for Nezha and the others, and finally saw a little sense of responsibility of the real Taiyi, but the sudden change of the role was indeed a bit blunt and abrupt.
In addition, there is also the depiction of the human race. Although I know the issue of wanting to express the prejudices of human beings clearly, the depiction of the human race may be richer. The so-called richness does not mean that only little babies are ignorant and play with Nezha.
I think it is possible to let some adults know the kindness of Ne Zha, but due to the pressure of the general trend of prejudice, these few people who sympathize with Ne Zha can only follow the trend and pretend to hate Ne Zha. The influence of human prejudice on everyone is even more magnified to the extreme.
Oh yes, there are also sissy characters, they are really used too many times... so much that I think the director has a prejudice against sissies...
Well, after finishing the work, the flaws I personally think that I mentioned above do not affect my surprise and love for the film.
In general, "Nezha's Devil Child Comes into the World" made me refresh my three views. Of course, this is a compliment, which also makes me very optimistic and looking forward to the follow-up works.
