Three stars, no encouragement points.
In the domestic animation, the big fish and begonias I refer to by thousands of people have three and a half stars, and I also added half of them for encouragement. I gave four stars for the return of the great sage, and the great protector did not hesitate to give five stars.
However, this devil boy came into the world, and I thought about it for a long time before I managed to locate Samsung. Because this is a very typical Hollywood-style commercial popcorn.
Although everyone has a reason and freedom to like a movie or not, I will just "sing the buck" at the moment when the box office has already broken 20y, the premise is that I really hope that state-owned literary and artistic products can catch up A train with a booming economy can not only occupy a place in the world of literature and art, but also establish its own distinctive national characteristics and national flavor.
So as mentioned above, the first item that Motong deducts from me is that its spiritual core is Western-style, Marvel-style, Hollywood-style, and pipeline-style, but it is not Chinese-style.
From the beginning of the film, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth nurtures the essence - everyone is familiar with it, this is how the Great Sage came out, and so does Jia Baoyu; but when the style of painting changes, it is said that this bead does not distinguish between good and evil - this is not a big problem, Look at Sun Monkey, who says good or bad, bad or bad, loves mischief and doesn’t understand the good heart of the world; but he insists on dividing the yin and yang diagram of intertwining and embracing into two—the connotation of Chinese culture does not talk about dichotomy, yin and yang are not divided. There are yang and yin, a person is a complete person, and abruptly divides a person into good parts and bad parts. This is the tune that Western culture likes.
The good ones go to heaven and the bad ones go to hell? Is the Taoist patriarch Yuanshi Tianzun actually a half-toned international student? To do such a thing that is completely incompatible with his status?
Then the whole film of this appearance is already Western-style, and it is all angels and demons. You can imagine how the plot will go on.
However, the main creator still surprised me, that is, there are a lot of dense and unstyled jokes and characters. Taiyi real person is a gag in this work. This is actually no problem. This is very common in Hollywood commercial films. An obvious routine role, there is also a pig in The Return of the Great Sage, but his burden-loss scenes are too dense and too limitless to spoof - the password is not unlocked by fingerprint, endless crotch jokes, and he is fat like a pig. It can be clearly seen that the main creator's willingness to please the audience. To be honest, there is no problem in pleasing the audience, it is good for the people to like it, but this way of expressing it is very clumsy. It's like calling your brother to come with a big-breasted three-point beauty in an advertisement in order to attract the dead nerds to spend money on the bad street page games.
Can you make money? Yes, those page games have also made money, but kneeling or standing, the difference is big.
So the scene where the real Taiyi is present basically can't come to the stage, and his scene runs through the entire first half of Little Nezha. Half of the film has passed, and different audiences have different judgments on whether to laugh or be embarrassed.
Next, look at the dragon egg.
The setting of the dragons guarding the bottom of the purgatory is the hard setting of the film. If you don't accept it, it means that the background of the whole film's confrontation with monsters is not established. Therefore, this hard setting must be accepted. Then the overall tragic atmosphere of the dragon line is still very good. It is also understandable to try to change the fate of the brain. I think this is a line in the film that can hardly stand scrutiny, and its persuasiveness is much greater than that of Nezha.
Why is Nezha's last so-called fate change as the protagonist unconvincing and untenable? Let me analyze it in detail.
First of all, he is Li Jing's child - why is Li Jing, because Yuanshi Tianzun said that Li Jing is "the man of destiny", remember, if it wasn't for Li Jing and his wife who gave birth to him, if it wasn't for Tianzun to arrange Taiyi to arrange the beads to Li Jing's house , will Nezha get the chance to change his life?
The answer is no. He was awakened because of his father's love. Without Li Jing, he would be crazy, and Li Jing was arranged for him by "life".
So in the end, he said my fate is up to me? Yuanshi Tianzun said that you, Laozi, I am heaven.
As a result, Nezha's final awakening persuasion is untenable. Perhaps, at that moment, when he shouted that bloody line, everyone was touched, but when you think about it afterwards, you will feel a little bit. Strange, I think this sentence is not so solid, his position seems a little vague, but why, it is not clear.
Many people attribute that he is not as powerful as the old version of Nezha's anti-patriarchy and anti-destiny. There may be a little bit, but the main reason is that the new version is basically a series of reactions under the arrangement of fate, and the spirit of resistance is strong. No, there is, but that is his rebellious consciousness as a "magic pill", and it is just an ignorant child making trouble. The motivation for a person to truly resist fate and defeat fate is often to know himself first, and the source of the new version of Nezha's self-knowledge is the protection of his father. He believes that he is the son of his parents, and his parents are good people. Mother's lines, parents are human, how can you be a demon), so, in the final analysis, it is the fate that Yuanshi Tianzun arranged for him.
The so-called disobedience under the arrangement of fate seems a bit funny, and it is considered to be slapped by oneself.
This is often the routine of many popcorn Hollywood commercial blockbusters - you go to the movies along its lines and think it makes sense.
Well, apart from that, it's not a big problem that some details are not as expected, the people's characters are too flat and rigid, the little dragon's transformation is a bit blunt, Shen Gongbao's stuttering is too malicious and has a bad impact on the children's ideas, etc. These are all technical flaws. That's it.
After talking about the shortcomings, the technical performance of the film is good, and the picture effects, special effects scenes, and detailed expression have reached a high level. This is something to brag about and praise for. The characters of the characters are also quite distinct, which is a rare advantage in domestic animations in the past. The progress of the plot with individual characters and arcs is worthy of recognition.
Finally, regarding the characters of the two protagonists, I think the main creators are of course intentional. Boys, twins, and those who are a little bit on the Internet know what kind of chemical reaction will be produced among female audiences, saying that there is no meaning of wheat bran. , would be too naive.
Therefore, I am not surprised that Nezha can get such a high box office. You must know that the Women's Federation 4 is also full of hard injuries, but the box office does not mean everything. Therefore, I think this animated film of the devil boy can be in the It occupies an important position in the development history of domestic animation, but its status is not as big and magnificent as the current public opinion boasted - "Guomanzhiguang", which can currently bear this title, still can only be full of The stories and expressions of the connotation of Chinese culture are the worldview and understanding of the Chinese people, not the assembly line products of Hollywood popcorn in a "retro" leather.
Moreover, this film is not yet an original, and it is an old story just like Dasheng, so in the parallel comparison, my score will be lower than that of a completely original work.
So, I still wish the domestic animation can regain the glory of "Havoc in Heaven" one day.
