Fortunately this is not my dragon

Not too pleasant viewing experience.

I don’t know what the Vietnamese people think of themselves, but in my opinion, even if the producer played the card of "the first Southeast Asian princess", it was almost flattered to the "Dragon Blessing Kingdom" and "Dragon's Citizens". On the whole, the setting is still a blunt work with poor integration.

The heroine has agile skills, careful observation, and a good force value, but none of these play a role in the decisive plot of the film. And in the revenge drama that she maximized the value of force and burned anger, she criticized this attitude.

The theme is to emphasize that "people must trust each other, and countries must also trust each other." It sounds very good, and the strange feeling runs through the audience in the plot.

Probably because of the faint and lingering sense of preaching:

"Even if he betrayed, the person who stabbed the knife in the back was not bad-hearted. The original intention was good."

"Even if you aim an arrow at you, this person actually has a heart for reconciliation."

"Is it hurt? Are you not responsible?"

"In the end, you still have to trust the other person. Give your trust [more than once] to the person who hurt you without reservation, and give her your life."

Such "illogical" completely handed over one's own safety and the right to survival to others, especially the murderer with a previous conviction, this kind of "illogical" can't convince people who think about it a little bit, so the theme of the whole film is integrated with the background setting. Unbearable bluntness surfaced again and again.

If the connection and transition can be smoother, perhaps the persuasiveness will be better. But when the heroine suddenly enters the theme-style sublimation speech, it is inevitable that people will be shocked.

"Huh? Wait a minute? Think about it again?"

The details are still excellent. There are mature industrial assembly lines to fill the rhythm. The villain’s face change is not without foreshadowing. Expressions and demeanors are used to express her struggle for "goodness"-although these things can't stop her from continuing to hold the arrow right. Second, she couldn't stop her from joining the square camp in a reconciled manner.

Maybe the applicable age is under six years old, after all, the kids around are pretty happy watching it.

But after reading it, you can add a little bit to your own children:

"We are descendants of the dragon, but our dragon does not grow like this, and we don't have to be like the heroine."

Raya and the Last Dragon quotes

  • Raya: Hold on.

    [Sisu grabs onto Raya. She swings across the pit but stops midway. Turns out Sisu's hind legs were still perched on the edge of the cliff]

    Sisu: Oh, we were doing a jumpy thing? So sorry. My bad. I get it now.

  • Raya: Actually, Sisu, I think we're going to go with your plan.

    Sisu: What? My plan? You're going with my plan?

    Raya: Yeah.

    Sisu: Alright! You're not going to regret this. But we're gonna need a really good gift. What do you think she's into? Cats? Knives? Cats with knives? Knives with cats on them?
