manga is a long time ago, and the moment when the popularity really started to increase is due to the animation that was broadcast in the previous two years. , The adaptation of the animation can be said to be long overdue, but it has also achieved quite good results. And then when I heard the news of the movie, I didn't worry about it. The key to the weakness of manga-modified movies is length and casting, and there are too many examples of failure in this regard, coupled with this theme. So I didn't hold out hope and didn't watch
the movie until this time when I heard the news that the movie had been edited and released in the mainland, I began to dare to be interested. I am very curious about why this kind of non-animated film can be released in China
. In order to watch the film more authentically, I still chose to find the original version on the Internet. After seeing the real content, I was very pleasantly surprised.
First of all, start with the role. Although the male protagonist can't be regarded as the feeling of breaking the dimensional wall, what he has shown is Xinyi's cowardice and cowardice in the early stage, and the resoluteness and decisiveness in the later stage. A major part of the movie.
Another character, Mr. Tamiya, plays an important role in the original work. The actors in the movie are very good in their eyes and posture, and the contradiction between the parasitic beasts is also well reflected in her.
However, it is a pity that most of the supporting roles are clicked, and the lack of a lot of foil will reduce a lot of foreshadowing and weaken the viewing effect. Some plots seem a bit blunt and impatient, but after all, the length of the movie is there, and the heroine also touches on it. It's a pity that it doesn't have the delicateness of the original.
In terms of plot, one word, urgent. The original manga itself is not too long, only 10 volumes of manga. Even so, the animation still has some adjustments, but it does not affect the overall effect. The movie is not good. Even if there are two movies, the total time is more than 200 minutes, which is equivalent to only more than ten episodes of animation time. That is to say, nearly half of the content has been clicked, and the original party will inevitably be dissatisfied, after all, the original is preconceived.
But if he is only regarded as a film, this film is also a big leap. His idea is the harmonious coexistence of man and nature, as well as the nature of human beings. This is a relatively big topic, and it is easy to distort it by accident, but this time the adaptation is very moderate, neither distorting the original intention nor exaggerating. There are not too many bugs in the plot, and the character creation is also remarkable.
So I can understand the reason why this kind of bloody themes can be released in the mainland. Maybe the movie is not so good, but it has broken the downturn of Japanese film in China so far, and may be able to open up the market of Japanese films in China again.
For comic fans, there may be more opportunities to see live-action adaptations of animations with non-daily themes, which is very critical. So far, the only ones that have impressed me the most are Death Note and Rurouni Kenshin. Then there is this work, maybe he can break the deadlock that the theme of comics is not everyday and must be pitted
