————————About children's animations —————————
1. As far as the average parent audience is concerned, as long as it is an animation, it should have some attributes suitable for children by default. But "Big Fish" is a film with no children at all, which is very disappointing. For children, cartoons should be a gift from the adult world, because it is a channel of narrative and reasoning that children may be more comfortable with. Because of this, we parents always have great expectations for theatrical animation, hoping that this form of cultural communication within the reach of children can bring original materials that can be used to communicate with children. However, "Big Fish" exposes a very bad orientation, which is to ignore the young minds who are the likely audience of the film. From the details, it is difficult to find buttons or bridges specially designed for children in "Big Fish". We don't require the current domestic animation to be as playful as "WallE (Robot Story)", but at least you have to be a bit of a saint who is smashed by stones, right? At least there should be a little bit of fox fake tiger power mixed with bribes to eat Xiao Yeyou, right? At least pretend to be a little crazy elementary school, right?
2. Children's cognitive characteristics may determine that they first pay attention to those jokes that are related to their hearts, and parents may be more inclined to discuss life and ideals with their children on feature films. "Big Fish" regards the latter as a three-dimensional film that disappoints parents. Forget about those feelings and love, which are likely to be far away from the child's cognitive domain. Just one word of simple and rude love, regardless of the flood of affairs behind him, may make the parents who have come over worry very much. The human world is gray, and the children's world is monochromatic. As a powerless parent, you should hope that there are some contradictions in the film that you can communicate with your children, so that they can learn a little bit how to reconcile the gap between ideals and reality. In any case, the "aesthetic handling" of the dramatic conflict in "Big Fish" will only make me and my children shy away.
————————About filmmaking ————————————
3. Apart from the cartoon properties of "Big Fish", as a person who cares about the development of Chinese films, its approach is also inexcusable. The first step in making a film is creativity. This is the original golden idea, but in fact, the original idea is also the least valuable. DreamWorks knew that Pixar had an idea for bugs and an idea for robots, but what it made itself was a commercial assembly line, and it couldn't have a good possibility of humanistic inheritance like Pixar. Because an idea is just an idea, it needs people with real feelings and abilities to fill it into a full story. "Big Fish" may have a very good idea at the beginning of the new year, and it is a good feeling to read "Zhuangzi" - thanks to the green years and youthful sensitivity at that time. However, the rise of composition is only a small step in the long march of thousands of miles. In 12 years, even the war of resistance against Japan can be fought for one and a half, but the finished product can only be cursed for what have you done all these years! The story line is not complete, even Zhuangzi's boundless romance has become the kiss of the little children. This is unforgivable. Because this is not the attitude of making a movie at all, even if you respect the crowdfunding money and the people who work, you will not serve such a plate of stewed red fish.
4. There is something to be said for wasting creativity. But the basic film narrative should be shaped by both characters and plot. Otherwise, you can become a new-style artist, write prose poetry, paint abstract paintings and engage in performance art, and no one can accuse you. Although there are various "profound" interpretations of "Big Fish" (there is also a post-Freudian school uncle who preached a sexual repression), the apparently contradictory story logic in it is confusing. What does it mean that Chi Songzi and Zhu Rong can still look at each other affectionately and pull their little hands at the critical juncture of flood fighting and emergency rescue? When the flood is raging, what does it mean that the man who calls out affectionately and embraces lovingly is not Feng's original husband? What does it mean when Adam and Eve in the finale meet naked but have their sexuality erased? It’s true that movies are an art of dream-making, but what you create makes people confused, which in turn affects the logical development of moviegoers, which is very wrong. These chaotic and unexplainable plots can only be interpreted as the creator's irresponsibility, "I can say what I want to say, anyway, it's messy, and you have to watch it just because of the topicality." This is an inexcusable act of disrespecting the Basic Law of Cinema.
5. Come back to the story again. I know that some people are indeed moved by the heroine's desperate spirit for true love. Well, this is understandable and acceptable. In the world of the second dimension, the most delusional person must have the most affectionate nature, which is even worthy of respect. However, as a general "indifferent | rational" viewer, just relying on "you say this is love, then love" is far from enough. We can't see the common growth of people and fish like "Goldfish on the Cliff" here. Once you lose your fish, you will make a lifetime promise, which can't move me. The heroine's unilateral and deep love will not convince me to accept the greatness of love. At most, it will make me express my deep sympathy for so many wet girls Xiaobai. As for the "you're like my brother" episode, it doesn't make me feel the dramatic tension of the love triangle. Although some people want us to get used to the mention of moving as China, this should be wrong. We cannot live by moving alone, but should carefully observe the progress of each period of time. Our memories are not just touching itself, but should be a shared experience that is vivid in purpose. As a comparison, although the production of "The Great Sage" is very rough, we remember what the Great Sage and the little bald head experienced together. We also agree that the Great Sage rose up after the hardship. It should bear you for a long time and then spit it out. The situation has a broad basis for resonance with us.
6. It's just that you don't have the ability to tell stories, and you don't do anything practical in industrial technology, which is too speechless. Although the story of "Little Door God" is very twisted at the end, the chasing animation and Wang Wei, who is not bad for money, have really put in the money and effort in animation technology. What do you mean by outsourcing the graphics to Koreans? Why don't you learn from "The Return of the Great Sage" and do some original art collections and art set collections created by your own people - history has proven that the kind of articles that respect original materials are more provocative and rich. Compared with the picture, the music is outsourced to the Japanese who are good at the two-dimensional soundtrack. After all, system integration is also an industrialization direction. But as a film, the story is the core competitiveness; as an animation, the original painting and the original artist are the core growth force. However, there is no original story highlight in "Big Fish", and it relies on the original creativity to swindle. In the past 12 years, apart from making money, I have not seen what it has done to make the film industry technology improve. It's irresponsible and brazen to take this seriously.
—————On the tradition and diversity of culture——————
7. Individuals consider themselves to be quite tolerant beings ^_^ Because we are in the primary stage of socialism, we may need a little tolerance, so that there is a local development of children's views and the film industry. Therefore, I think "A certain bear, a sheep, a wolf, a flying man" is simple and rude, but as long as the three views are basically correct, it will still help to cultivate the secure attachment of young children - although I prefer to learn from young children. Whereas Sesame Street uses repetition to emphasize cognition, older children who are not cognitively impaired should adopt the well-crafted story-telling approach of My Little Pony.
8. Our parents are actually very worried that their children have no traditional cultural experience. The children who only say that they don’t know about soy milk and pizza are also very chilling things for Chinese mothers. The method of "Big Fish" is to incorporate ancient symbols such as spring, summer, autumn and winter, but there is no cultural recognition for children. It's a pity that Zhuangzi's wings are hanging in the sky. The main creator may have grasped the golden IP of Zhuangzi in his heart, and then went too high, and did not intend to collide at all, and selected the story bridges that echoed the idea. Therefore, the idea of travelling the world for 7 days was wasted, Haitian The ideas of connection and commonality between humans and gods were squandered, and the ideas of ancient gods and new myths were ignored. In this film, we don't know how Zhuangzi's majestic imagination is higher than reality and based on reality? We also don't know why Kuafu is chasing the sun and why some people are angry with Buzhoushan? The legends of the past should turn into magnificent imaginative journeys. However, the film falls on such self-talking love and love. Life and death, Huihai Purdue such a mysterious and mysterious idea, even if it is made into a silent film that does not understand and flashes back and forth, it is much better than the story of breaking a heroine Eve alive. "Big Fish" is too speculative, it exploits our reverence for culture, it despicably brings up the banner of Zhuangzi, but it declares in a high-profile manner without any lower limit, "We have no stories, we can't tell stories, And we didn't plan to tell stories, we just used topics to make money!"
9. Many young people just like the second dimension, that is, they like to be a little white and a little dirty, which is beyond reproach. The world is diverse. People who like comic exhibitions said, "Big fish is very good, the pictures are so beautiful, it's worth watching." As an anime, this is true. It is also a good choice for them who can see the world transparently to watch "Big Fish" in such a transparent way. But what I can't forgive "Big Fish" is that it actively uses topicality to cause a devastating blow to "diversity". Personally, I feel that this does not seem to be very good for the healthy inheritance of culture (of course, this is both the leader's The choice is also the choice of passers-by). The industrialized production of "Rock and Roll Tibetan Mastiff" is a shame. You can't encourage everyone to make movies like "Big Fish" through the market, right? A healthy market should be a culture that does things seriously and has food to eat. The current atmosphere is that everyone is thinking about doing a big thing, the hotter it is, the better, hurry up and grab some quick money, and don't care about the chaos after the event. This may also be a cultural change that is being staged. If we let it go, then this kind of violent money-making may become more and more serious, and there may be more strange events of the 3D remake version of "2012", which is exclusive to the world and dedicated to China. .
The choice of the public is a variable of cultural change, and those commentators and practitioners who pay attention to the direction of culture are also a variable of this kind of cultural change. As long as there is cultural independence and persistence, it should ultimately affect the flow of this cultural change and allow it to be re-opened. Culture itself has become the most basic rules of the game. Although you are ordinary people, I hope you will not change your ambitions of Lingyun. the end...
