first went to the cinema for a movie "Monster Hunt" to swipe the box office twice. The first time was during the 712 screening period. When it was officially released, both 716 and 717 were on business trips, so 718 quickly watched it again. a game. At different times, the movie theaters are all the same, and if you don't book tickets in advance, there will be no seats at all.
For a good-looking movie, the most important thing is, of course, to tell the story clearly, to echo the theme from beginning to end, to advance the story rationally, and to have real and moving emotions. Some stories, which are called bad films, are to make the scene extremely grand, but they are anticlimactic, and there are many clues in them, as if to show the deep meaning. The fragmented scenes are thrown there illogically and let the audience make up their own minds. The audience was at a loss, inexplicable, and felt that the director was strongly deceived and fooled. When you watch the movie, you are a fool who will only pay and be deceived by you? It's strange to walk out of the cinema without scolding. It's a small thing to waste a little money on movie tickets, but it's a big thing to waste your mood.
The reason why everyone says "Monster Hunt" is a sincere film is not only because director Xu Chenyi and producer Jiang spent 7 years and 350 million yuan in painstaking work, but the most important thing is that they respect the audience very much. Tell a story simply, clearly, and smoothly. On the surface of this story, even children can easily understand it. It reminds me that every time Bai Juyi finishes writing a poem, he reads it to the old women in the countryside. I think it's a good poem, otherwise I'll keep revising it until the other person understands it. Therefore, a movie is the same as an ancient poem in some respects. Don't pretend to be inscrutable, don't pretend to be mysterious, just use the simplest narrative method to tell a reasonable and reasonable story. There is no doubt that director Xu Chengyi did it.
First of all, "Monster Hunt" is good because the plot is simple. This happy movie, which is positioned in the summer vacation schedule, its audience is people who need to relax, not people who need to do scientific research, logical reasoning, or have a deep understanding of the director's techniques to understand An elite few who know the terminology and understand the story. The development of the plot is completely chronological. It is a simple road from Yongning Village in the wilderness to the bustling and noisy Shuntianfu. There is no flashback, interlude, supplementary narration, and sub-narration that are particularly fond of in ordinary movies and even TV programs. And other types, it seems that they have no depth and layers. Such a complex narrative method forces the audience's mind to spin rapidly, and they may not be able to understand the many changing time and space scenes. In place, even the audience's IQ can't react at once, and if their attention is slightly unfocused, it will look inexplicable. So it's nice to come across a movie that no longer needs to test the audience's IQ. You just need to sit there and follow the line given by the director's instructions. One road will go to the end. There are no branch intersections to choose the left. Still confused on the right, there is no character A, B, C, who inexplicably played soy sauce and then disappeared inexplicably. The story is clear at a glance, simple, clean and clear. Life is already very complicated. Watching a movie no longer requires a battle of wits, isn't it?
However, the clarity of the story line can only make the movie look flawless, and at most it can only be regarded as a mediocre work, so a movie must have something special in order to make everyone really interested, shaped by 3D animation The lifelike little demon king Huba is of course the biggest attraction of this movie. It is the most familiar image of the most innocent and cute little baby in the world, white, tender and chubby, Huba has a pair of Arctic icebergs that will melt for him, a pair of cute big eyes and cute dead people who are all moved for him A small expression that pays for life, it has the same emotions as a baby, such as need, play, attachment, happiness, sadness, etc. His fate and expression always affect the hearts of all audiences in the movie. The audience can't help laughing when they see the jokes caused by killing, robbing, buying and selling, eating and drinking in the adult world, as well as the funny and funny caused by the dislocation of some characters, but when they see Huba's expression, especially it Those big eyes that are so cute and pure, immediately filled with 10,000 tender feelings, laughing when he was happy, and tears in his eyes when he was sad. Huba is the soul character in this movie. Of course, he is the biggest star of the success of this movie. I believe that Huba will become the latest doll playmate and be loved by children from now on.
The main line of emotion in this film is family affection, starting from the fact that the hero Tian Yin (Jing Boran) was accidentally pregnant by the former demon queen who fled, and accompanied by the help of the heroine Huo Xiaolan (Bai Baihe), the heroine of the demon hunter, accompanied the birth of the little demon king, The story of parenting and rescuing it makes us believe that with the clumsy and funny pregnancy process of Tian Yin, the funny and funny childbirth process, the joy in the parenting process, the reluctance in the buying and selling process, etc., people (demon) people The relationship between them is slowly cultivated in the accumulation of such time. Being a parent seems to see a series of stories in the process of raising children, birth, growth, education, parting, etc. Every step is fully reflected in the movie. It is so simple, but it moves the audience. Even though the film uses elements of its mythical comedy, it is a drama of ordinary life at heart. Parents are children. When raising him, as long as he needs, he can even let him suck your blood; no matter what his nature is, it is the responsibility of parents to teach their children to take the right path; when children are in danger, parents will desperately rescue them, forgetting The so-called rules of the game in the world; when a child grows up, even if the parents are very reluctant, they must let him leave independence and bravely work hard in this world. Whether we are parents or children, we are all in it and feel the same way. So I will laugh for Huba and cry for Huba, because behind that cute baby is the thousands of similar experiences that each of us has experienced.
The progress of the story is reasonable and reasonable, and the elements of the performance are also very lively and interesting, which is quite fascinating, and you will not think of occasionally looking at your phone throughout the whole process. Pregnancy and childbirth may be more interesting for men than women, which will cause more laughter, but it still comes from my heartfelt feelings; the monsters look strange, but they don’t look disgusting or scary; fight scenes It is very intense and exciting. Although it is a combination of human and monster animation, the combination is so perfect and careful that the flaws in the post-computer synthesis of live-action performances and 3D animations cannot be seen at all; the actors are very professional in the air, and post-production The completion is so meticulous that people even asked which child played this Huba after watching the movie. Such a realistic 3D effect is really intoxicating. The story jokes in this movie are not vulgar and vulgar, and every line in the movie feels very plain and real. There are no empty exaggerations or exaggerations that go against common sense emotions, whether it is a dialogue plot of a man using scissors when giving birth, a dialogue between an old demon couple showing love, or a pair of little cute demons who swear to death. Dialogues, etc., the progress of the story and the psychological and emotional fit, and the logical jokes make people laugh.
Although the story seems simple, easy to understand, very funny, and very touching, when I read it, I was laughing with tears all the way, and the emotional point was easily hit by it, but the story is actually quite meaningful. It started from the ancient times that humans and monsters could not coexist, the world of humans and the world of monsters confronted each other, and finally developed into the world of humans with monsters and people in the world of monsters, and it is no longer possible to clearly distinguish the so-called human and Demon, the so-called good people and bad people can be clearly distinguished. People are not necessarily all good, they can brutally trample and destroy other lives at will, catch demons and eat demons; in the world of demons, demons are not necessarily all bad, they will also sacrifice their lives and die for the needs of their masters and friends. , will also help outliers and generate gratitude. Humans and demons are just different species. It is revealed in the movie that they can coexist. The world is so big that there needs to be better tolerance and coordination between species, rather than suppression and extinction. In this sense, this is a pacifist film. It uses family affection as the moving main line, and in fact quietly exports his larger values.
Of course, it must be said in this movie that it is Ge Qianhu. This is a very special character mixed in the world of humans and demons. He plays a role in fueling the flames throughout the film. This character, played by Zhong Hanliang, is simply amazing. Every time he appeared on the stage, he was incomparably flamboyant and charming, which made people tremble in their hearts. In fact, the three scenes that Ge Qianhu appeared in are very interesting, especially after knowing his final identity and looking back at his performance each time he appeared, he found that the front and back performances echoed extremely well. To reveal, for example, the first time I looked at my beautiful face in the mirror, I admired it and was proud of it. The president at the Monster Hunting Conference seemed domineering and dignified, but he was a little nervous, but he quickly adjusted himself. He is virtuous; when he appeared for the second time, he spit at a group of ragged demons, with the arrogance and arrogance of a once-a-chief little person in the upper position. "If you want to pretend to be a person, don't pretend to be rich." Approaching his face, he thought he was a little flustered when his secret was discovered, but he sorted it out in an instant; the third time he appeared was at the feast of eating monsters, he said that he was cold-blooded and cruel when he ate raw Huba, and found the so-called From the panic that started when Grandma Shiqian Tian appeared to the ridicule and disdain later, and even the fear and collapse when she found out that her delicate human skin face was cut in the final fight, etc. In the three scenes, Zhong Hanliang's every microexpression, For example, narcissism, domineering, pride, nervousness, arrogance, sarcasm, insidiousness, brutality, collapse, etc., are all expressed in such delicate and meticulous moments in an instant, which is breathtaking.
The interesting part of Ge Qianhu's character is not entirely that he is a demon in a glamorous and luxurious human skin, smugly lurking and wandering in the human world for a long time. What is more interesting is that although he is so charming A piece of human skin, after the human skin was torn off, people found that it was actually a disgusting and extremely ugly monster covered with mushrooms that made people numb. Everything that appeared before and after the story. Demon, no one looks uglier than this one. The contrast between the exquisite and perfect human skin and the extreme ugliness of the demon itself may give us something to think of. This really reveals the kind of weakness shared by human beings. The more you have nothing, the more you want to have something, and try your best to cover up your original flaws and show what you have to prove yourself, such as showing off your wealth, showing off your beauty, and showing off. Love, dazzle success, dazzle charity and so on. . . The last scene of this ugly old demon who was finally stabbed and dying by the joint efforts of the Celestial Masters turned out to be looking at himself pityingly at the broken mirror, dying with such an ugly face, he was really unwilling to die what. This prompt tells people that this demon may not be dead, and may make a comeback in the sequel to the movie. Fans of Ge Qianhu, who is obsessed with Zhong Hanliang, have watched it and can look forward to it. The setting of the character Ge Qianhu is very critical. It makes people believe that the world of humans and demons will never be peaceful. What is a human being and what is a demon? As long as there are people in the world, if the greed and selfishness in human nature cannot be eradicated, there will be non-stop fighting, so arrests will be staged everywhere! Demon! remember!
Continue to respond to the theme, about the touching affection of human emotions. At the end of the movie, the two rookie celestial masters forced him to drive away the little demon king Huba and let him leave the world of human beings and live in the world of demons. The scene in this scene is very moving. That cute demon kid with tears in his eyes begged to go away, but he had to go away. The demon-catching parents who were equally heartbroken and could not bear to separate, had no choice but to force him to go far. At this time, Zhong Hanliang's theme song "Odd Books" sounded at the right time: "Life is a wonderful book, I expect you to read it carefully... Start when you are confused, and chase forward bravely... Only when you lose your protection can you Towards maturity..." Isn't the words in it the best care and blessings parents can give their children who grow up and travel far? Zhong Hanliang's emotional voice sang such a song softly and softly. In the picture, Huba grows up happily in his own simple world. The sound and picture coordination is very moving, and he feels the heat flow. Did the audience think that he left home back then? What about the reluctance of the parents and the courage of their own without turning back when they were working hard? We will know better when we experience this kind of emotion.
Therefore, the movie "Monster Hunt" is a movie that is easy to watch, laughs lively, tears with emotion, and tastes carefully. From the perspective of film skills and the transmission of values, it is a seemingly simple but in fact movie. Not a simple movie, it deserves more promotion, more appreciation and more practical praise.
