In 2019, the national comic "Nezha's Devil Child Comes into the World" extended the release key while it was a big hit. It may be difficult for a work to exceed its box office in the animation field for a while. One Piece: Operation Fever was released almost a month after its extension. At the warm invitation of a friend who is also a fan of the sea, I accompanied him to see this movie, which is the theatrical version of the feature film to be precise.
I am very familiar with the main feature of "One Piece". I have always kept the comics until the latest volume at home. If I have time, I will follow the progress of the comics on the Internet (the recent disappearance of the mouse-painted comics network really gave me a headache for a long time). Here I will explain to my friends who don't know manga, the progress of manga is faster than that of animation, and the author of manga and the author of animation are not the same person. As for the reason, it should be easy to understand. Because of the plots of several storyboards in the comics, the animation may be displayed in a few seconds. In addition, the author of the comics sometimes suspends publications or draws materials, so when the animation plot catches up with the progress of the comics, it is An original storyline will be produced. The previous "One Piece" basically corresponded to several comics in one episode. In recent years, because of the late serialization, the amount of information in one comic began to increase sharply, so gradually one episode can only correspond to one episode.
Of course, these are all digressions. I want to express my personal disdain for the production of the theatrical version of "One Piece" a few years ago. If it is because of the lack of technology due to the age, but the theatrical version of "Detective Conan" next door a few years ago is basically a collection of classics. Of course, these are all my personal opinions, and I have absolutely no intention of arguing against the fans of the two sides. It is purely a statement of my subjective feelings. If it is inconsistent with your opinion, I welcome your criticism, and I will accept it humbly.
To get back to the point, it is not so absolute to say that it is not good. In my impression, starting from "One Piece: The World of the Strong", that is, when the comic author personally supervised the production of animation, both the plot and style of animation have gradually improved. But it may still be related to the original world view, plot arrangement and high level of character depiction, which is really difficult for the theatrical version to match. So to be honest, I hope from the bottom of my heart that this viewing will give me a slap in the face.
In addition to some fans of the same age, there are adults with very young children in this game we went to see. I personally feel that the biggest difference between Riman and Guoman is that Guoman is actually still biased towards younger age. Of course, in recent years, more complete adult comics have been born, and Riman is positioned for all ages. And it is going to the world market, which is also a place worth learning from our national comic producers and fans. There is a long way to go, and I also hope that our own animation will get better and better.
Speaking of the movie, at the beginning, it was really advanced to introduce new original characters with the feature film of Blackbeard making a riot in Imper Prison, and it would soon be able to get fans into the state of watching the movie. After that, whether it is the sky and the sea, or the bubble island, fans can reminisce about the plot of the sky island and the Chambord Islands. As for the Chinese translations of the films "Voyager", "Police" and "Justice League", in fact, as long as you know what they are talking about, it does not affect the viewing.
From the overall content point of view, it is more like a miniature story of finding a big secret treasure. The timeline of the film is after the "World Chapter" of the main film, and all the camps are brought together, like a carnival of pirates. How big is the scale? So far, the largest war in the "One Piece" feature film I personally know is the top war. Although the Tokushima chapter has many forces, it is not large in scale, and the Wano country chapter has many large-scale forces, but the forces of all parties have not yet been concentrated. In the top battle, its scale includes the Four Emperors Whitebeard, the opposing navy (marshal, three generals, lieutenant generals and below) and the king's lower sea, and of course a team brought by Luffy from Imper prison, and The Blackbeard Pirates and the Red Hair Pirates.
In this film, two admirals of the navy and the demon-slaying order, four Shichibukai plus one former Shichibukai, World Government CP forces, Pirate Supernova, Revolutionary Army forces, and a crew member from the original One Piece all appear. It can be said that the number of characters in this theatrical version is extremely dense. In addition to the main popular characters appearing with classic lines, there are not only new characters in the feature film (such as reporters and revolutionary army cadres), but also characters in the animation original plot (such as when Luffy steals food in the original animation) Navy recruits encountered), there are also original characters designed by Oda in SBS (such as Peach Rabbit and Tea Dolphin), and of course there are pandaren ghosts and ghosts, you may not notice if you are not careful. This is a true 20th anniversary commemorative work supervised by Oda (manga author) himself . In the words of a friend, Pirate fans are celebrating the New Year.
There are actually two episodes that touched me the most. The first is that when encountering difficulties, Sabo, Luo, Empress, Smoker, Bucky, and even Crocodile and Lu Qi, who were originally a piece of sand from different positions, acted together because of Luffy. Their forces are actually very representative. The Revolutionary Army, Supernova, Shichibukai, the Navy, and their former enemies are now united by Luffy. And just as Hawkeye's evaluation of Luffy before - in this sea, that man has the most terrifying power, not in his ability or tricks, but in the ability to make the people present become one after another. own people . I think this may be what we often call personality charm. In reality, you must also have a friend or you are the one who attracts others.
The second is when Sabo finally opened the way for Luffy and the supernovas, Ace's projection appeared. Yes, Ace's death is my biggest grief among pirates. I even watched the related episodes over and over again, always thinking that Ace would be fine if it could be done at a certain moment, but there was no if. Riman seems to always like to portray the image of such a brother-controlled brother, and the same is true of the Itachi God mentioned above. Sabo is always saying the same thing as Ace, he's my brother. So the plot of the last two brothers opening the way for Luffy is really too good to cry in fashionable words.
In contrast, the bond between Usopp and Luffy and the plot of Luffy destroying the Eternal Pointer are actually not unexpected to me, and even I think it is reasonable. The former is because Usopp is the only crew member who has left the ship, so his friendship with Luffy goes without saying. There are also a lot of plots on Zhihu about why Usopp was arranged to leave the Straw Hats. They are all very well said. If you are interested, you can take a look. By the way, the Tokushima chapter is Usopp's battle of the gods, and it is the most exciting plot design in the plot two years later. A similar plot like the latter appeared in the Chambord Islands, when Usopp asked Raleigh if the Treasure really existed, but Luffy yelled at him. Luffy never wanted to do known adventures, yes, only the unknown can be exciting and life. When Rayleigh asked Luffy how to conquer other strong men without his intelligence, Luffy said what Roger said (personal guess is this): "On this sea, only the freest People are the Pirate King . "
There is also a small spoiler that the last Easter egg plot at the end of the film has a corresponding plot in the latest episode 968, which should also be a design by Oda to be consistent with the film. Because this movie is going to precede the latest comic strip.
The theme of the whole film is actually an old routine of Japanese comics. If you want to be the strongest, the most important thing is to strengthen your own strength, or to be a partner who fights side by side. The answer to this question is basically not difficult for fans to answer, the answer is the latter. Several times in the film, the classic BGM "We are" of "One Piece" sounded with a tone change. I think this is also the irreplaceable truth of the power the film wants to convey to our partners. Similar concepts have appeared in many other Japanese comics. The spirit of the team is very important, and a person's victory is not a victory, and so on. For example, in "Naruto", Kakashi often said that "people who ignore their companions are the real waste" (although this sentence originated from Obito). Itachi God also said to Naruto, "It's not that you can get everyone's approval when you become a Hokage, but you can become a Hokage only when you get everyone's approval." In fact, through the two-dimensional world, these spirits are also very instructive for us to do things in real life. Sometimes a person's ideas or abilities are limited for a matter, but with teamwork and discussions with friends, no matter how big things can be reduced to small ones, no matter how difficult things can be solved. Because too much history and famous people have proved that Zhuge Liang is not an empty talk for three cobblers.
Overall, I give this theatrical version a 3 out of 5. One for the drama, one for the plot, and one for the feelings. My criteria for grading animations is also very simple, just assuming that if I hadn't seen "One Piece", how the film would have made me feel. So if you are a sea fan, I recommend you to watch it as a sentimental drama without paying too much attention to the details of the plot. For example, my friends complained to me, and when Luffy and the others were discussing countermeasures, the BOSS was always on standby and didn’t move (smiley). If you haven't watched One Piece, or don't know much about the relevant plot, then I can only say that although this movie is very exciting, it may not resonate with you as a whole.
Finally, I would like to say that "One Piece" is an excellent work of the era. Although there are always people who say that the quality has declined in recent years, I can't comment on this. But it is undeniable that Luffy is the youth of our generation, and he can more or less find what we are or want to be in him. Dreams, freedom and partners have always been the spiritual core taught by One Piece.
What is the big secret treasure, whether Luffy can become One Piece, these are not the most important things to me. I hope that at the moment when "One Piece" ends, I will be in the same mood as Roger in chapter 967 when he sees the big secret treasure. Because as long as it makes us laugh, it's a good tale in life.
