Remember the girl of your dreams when you were a kid? I've heard the mask of the night dress, the Sailor Moon, the Zilong Glacier, and the Athena. Maybe every "you" in childhood had a virtual character that made your heart flutter. And if someone asks me, my answer will be - Sun Wukong. Yes, it is the guy who has not yet fully evolved and has long hair on his face. The first time I told someone that the "first love" on the screen was him, I still remember that person's shocked expression. Perhaps he would never have thought that he was not even a human, but a monkey! Wukong is an irreplaceable hero to me and an era. Heroes can be forgotten, but never die. Speaking of which, I haven't been in contact with animation for a long time, and I don't have much confidence and interest in domestic animation films. It can only be said that it was a coincidence that I did not miss this work. One night, I couldn't sleep, I clicked on NetEase Cloud Music, and when I heard Chen Jieyi's "Once Upon a Time", I was immediately moved. Do you know that even if it is me, I am no longer the same person every minute and every second. I and the former me are about to become strangers. Sometimes I will sigh with emotion, why as the years go by, the me, who seems to have a perpetual motion machine installed with dreams and hopes to keep improving and new things in my life, will be submerged in the sea called "life" and drowned. . "If you meet the old me, please bring him back...". It's just such a song, it's so beautiful to listen to in the dead of night. So I couldn't help but read the comments, and when others mentioned the MV of station B, I ran to watch it. The editing was just right, and with Dai Quan's "Wukong", I was moved out of thin air. Then I happily decided to go to the theater to support and support the release on the 10th. Although I have seen the promotional film, I probably have a bottom line in my heart, but I still don't know the overall quality of the film before I actually sit in the theater and open the screen. Because of this, there is such a little excitement, people have more expectations for the unknown, right? We have always said that the level of animation production in China cannot be complimented. In fact, there is a time limit. In the early days, we did not lack word-of-mouth works, such as the ink animation "Little Tadpoles Looking for Mother", and our "Havoc in Heaven", which was a work that even Mr. Osamu Tezuka admired. There is a disc of "Havoc in Heaven" at my best friend's house. She has watched it no less than 50 times since she was a child. Just like the old songs from the past, you can never get tired of listening to them. If you have to say why, it is probably compared to fast food works, they are all the crystallization of the painstaking efforts of predecessors. This is also the moment that drives me to sit in front of the computer and type on the big night when I come back from watching a movie. The reason for these words. I recommend it to people around me, hoping that it will get the results it deserves as much as possible. Of course, these are all things that are inspired by the works and willing to do without compensation. If you give me fifty cents, I really disdain. There is a reason for saying that "The Return of the Great Sage" has feelings. Forgive me for using such a bad word. From the beginning of the film, I paid homage to "Havoc in Heaven", and my affection for it doubled. Then there was the classic scene on the propaganda poster. The great sage was wearing battle armor, sitting on the top of the cliff, with millions of heavenly soldiers in front of him. He didn't move, but the cloak behind him was already speaking for the master, dancing wildly, filling most of the screen. This sky-breaking light shone brightly around him, and one enemy, ten thousand generals, remained in front of him without changing his face. He is the great sage of Qitian, and no one in the entire heaven can match him. He is a hero admired by the world, who can comfort the cry of a child, and can give courage to a mother who is forced into a desperate situation. He is a spiritual idol. Jiang Liuer may be the most naughty and most detached Tang monk. In this life, he does not have to bear the shackles of dogma. He is not a product of the stubborn bald donkeys in the Sensen temple. He is a heaven-sent gift from the ascetic who walks the heavens and the earth. He is the embodiment of freedom, a young child bred under an enlightened mind. Mischievous yet kind, just like his idol. With his courage, he rescued the child from the mountain demon. The cutest Tang monk in history, and the horse-faced monkey brother who was "difficult to swallow" at first sight, a brand-new attempt, played a wonderful card. When I watched Second Speed, every picture was so beautiful that it could be used as a wallpaper. Now watching "The Return of the Great Sage", the scenery is also picturesque, and any scene can be used as a desktop. The 2D version I watched already felt that the picture was the best of the current domestic animated films. A good work, in addition to the excellent picture, naturally there is a lot to see. But what moved me the most was that this animation, made for children as the main audience, paid tribute to many Chinese cultural highlights. It is showing the beauty of these traditions in a way that children can better understand. Although the kids may not understand it right now. But the sincerity of the producers can be seen. Those cultural and entertainment methods that once occupied the main stage, such as shadow puppetry, Peking Opera, Book of Songs, and classical musical instruments, can all be seen in it. It's not a simple hodgepodge, it's blended together in a non-peaceful way. The dubbing of Chinese animation has always been criticized, and in this work, I would say that the voice actors are really excellent. In addition to the fact that Old Master Tong still matched the chaotic tone to a natural and suave tone in his old age, Jiang Liuer cried away, Wukong's last anxious progress, eager shouting, on the verge of collapse, unwilling to believe but already predicting the ending. Tormented inside, at least as an audience I pass through The sound is fully perceived. At the end, I think it ended just right, without being sloppy. As for the instant chaos, isn't this something that has long been expected? In all fairness, the fight design is more than one level better than previous animations. Compared with the total, this work is ranked among the best, and it is already a hard work for domestic animation. It is repeatedly emphasized in the animation that the Great Sage will not die. Yes, saints don't die, heroes don't die. The spiritual power within us never dies. It's not the fabricated character Sun Wukong who is really powerful. Is he really equal to the sky? Equalling the sky is our hope that has never been extinguished. Jumping out of the cracks of the stone, not being taught by the world, being suppressed countless times, suffering and bewildering, but the one that never dies is our own, the fire in our hearts.
