The Pros and Cons of Labeled Narratives

Ian 2022-09-30 03:30:35

The second brush promare came back to talk about its script. First, let me talk about the scriptwriter's problem. It's not because of old-fashioned, but because of labeling. This is for good reason, because of the time limit of the theatrical animation: a story must be told in far less than a season of animation, in which case it can only be pursued to convey as much information as possible with as few prompts as possible, And also consider the issue of audience familiarity (the more familiar the audience is, the easier it is to explain; the amount of unfamiliar information that the audience can immediately understand per unit time is limited, if you can’t understand the story, you won’t be able to keep up with the rhythm of the story. The script arrangement will be completely wooden) and a very useful method is to use the label, the label can only reveal a corner and let people understand what is hidden behind the curtain, but its principle is [the audience knows this thing, but it does not know It'll be here], it's impossible to use labels to let viewers know something they didn't know otherwise. It's like telling a joke to your friend. If he doesn't understand what it is, he will be very embarrassed; emotional scenes are the most embarrassing, because for example, we all know that the label prompts sponge, but if the label only says "A" Made love to B", without context, everyone will be full of question marks. However, due to time constraints and the fact that this work was originally intended to be light-hearted, it kept the narrative darkness to a minimum. This has made the whole film, its rhythm is ups and downs, it can do fighting scenes as much as you want, and it can tell the story, but the problem is, if there is not enough dark support, decent determination, etc. will appear very weak or even Child's play - if you don't feel anything about this, it's because it's been common for popular works in recent years: the only dark/bad/sad meme you can think of is "death", because death, or elimination, etc., It is the most intuitive and understandable to all. This leads to death (in popular entertainment) becoming very light, if it is just a "death", even more so if there is no corresponding description. Of course, the focus of promare is not on the description of death. What it should criticize most is the description of discrimination, which is too labelled! ! It is understandable that it has done as much as possible in the limited space. It has reference to historical anti-Semitic policies, but even the referenced part is very labelled. The description of the pursuit of the Burning Tribe does not even have the power of a pizza shop. Passersby threw pizza "how to give people food made by Burning people" is strong (the details are not developed, there are countless related studies, I don't read much myself, if you want to read more classic works such as "Modernization and the Holocaust") Of course The above are all based on the premise of "there are no other hints for the audience", but in the maximum amount of information to supplement the moment Promare did a very smart job in drawing this point, because: 1) It supplemented the description to a certain extent with the lyrics of the insertion song, and even the lyrics also have subtitles in this mainland release - so the relationship between the main line galo and lio is really reasonable After all, it’s really hard to write about love at first sight. Clues, without omitting everything, here are two of my favorite characters as examples: a. Klay, a control freak, if there is a factor out of control (referring to Galo), he will be crazy, but because his self-esteem is too high The reason is that he subconsciously estimates according to "I can control him" every time, which explains why he explains his evil grand plan to Galo himself, not because of the villain's passive skills (...) but because the more he hates, the more he wants it. Prove that you can control ta, and thus prove that your control is still absolute. The same is true for his stubbornness. The whole film Klay repeats "It is impossible to put out the fire", but this is only because he discriminates against the Burning Race, he can't lower his head to find the answer from the Burning Race that he discriminates against, so he doesn't. It may be like the mentor: study the burning family - study the flame - understand that the flame is actually a living body, if the uncle is not killed, the next step is to "invent the technology to communicate with the core of promare" - although Klay did it by mistake (laughs) ) b. Alice (Sister Doctor), this character's mental process of rebelling against the water is quite reasonable. First of all, she deceived her conscience and joined the villain with "my sister survived, I can't save everyone"; and she clearly disagreed with the Ark project. , but he didn't join the protagonist camp until the end, and he could even be frightened by Klay's dark side, and immediately lied and deceived his sister for Klay's sake, because of sunk costs: since the big mistake has been made, this excuse can no longer be given up , if you give up, you won't get anything, you can only do more and more bad things to pursue the originally set goals; but then, the development of the plot negates these two excuses (the sister can't get on the boat and can't save everyone is actually just a Klay's speech), coupled with the collapse of the spiritual leader's image, the remaining conscience, and the feeling of seeing her sister is not dead (this is my speculation), Alice was finally pulled Klay's opposite. 3) In addition, such as changes in character design (the shape of Lio and Klay, the changes in dubbing performances), the color tone of the picture, etc., are the big advantages of the movie, unlike writing an article, you can basically only increase the amount of information. The number of words, the movie plus the amount of information can completely not increase the length of time, but after all, if you get all the above points, the whole movie will be very enjoyable, which is why I feel better after the second brush than the first, because I can finally see from the screen. Divide your energy to understand the whole story. So Promea's film is actually not as thin as it looks, I like it very much, but why does it make most people look thin? It can only be said that success is also Xiao He, Xiao He is also Xiao He, success is also labeled as change and failure is labeled...
