Watching it is like reading a novel

As soon as this film was released, I couldn't wait to go to the theater to watch it. If this epic magic film is viewed on a small screen at home, it would be too disadvantageous. I must go to the theater, and IMAX 3D version is required. Only in this way can I experience the film to convey to Every detail and surprise for the audience.
In the same month, there was also a domestic magic film "Havoc in Heaven", which was advertised as China's "The Hobbit" when it was released. After the chrysanthemum is over, I don't feel nervous. Although the special effects of this film exceed other domestic films of the same type, can it really be compared with "The Hobbit"? At that time, the impression of The Hobbit in my mind was still the first one, which hindered the development of film technology. The special effects of "The Hobbit 1" seem to be very common now. Bit people can be compared, but the details of the wheel story, wheel set, costumes and other details are really a bit impetuous. It always feels like a film and television stunt exhibition, and I can't see the charm of the story itself. "The review is not repeated here too much, see its film review for details. What I'm trying to say is that after watching "The Hobbit 2" I realized that "Big" is probably only as big as a foot.
A work that can be called epic must first have an epic story. This film is based on the British writer JRR Tolkien's 1937 novel "The Hobbit" of the same name. The story itself has a profound historical accumulation. . The picture style of this film looks like you are reading this ancient novel, with heavy oil paint, yellowish halo, and strong texture.
Although the revolution of film is a revolution of technology, we cannot rely too much on technology, and ignore the importance of it. Technology also serves the story. If the story becomes the slave of technology, wouldn’t that put the cart before the horse and lose yourself? "Da" and "Huo" are in stark contrast. The plot point of the former seems to be used to show its special effects, and the development of the story itself cannot be seen. It shows all the results of events, no rhythm and no suspense, see In the end, it was boring and boring; the latter has always insisted on the development of the story itself, paying special attention to the subtle turns and rhythms of events, and all the special effects are necessary and irresistible. This production level brings the audience unlimited enjoyment. The former is like a local tyrant who suddenly broke out, eager to show everyone all the money at once; the latter is a natural noble, powerful but disdain to show off, if you really want to fight to the death, I will not be stingy with my ability. This is the gap between Chinese and American magic movies. We are not only technically different, but more of a conceptual gap. The first thing we need to do is to tell stories in a down-to-earth way. Although the development will be slower, at least not will die so fast.

    Except that the plot is pretty good, the plot is too slow and the rhythm is very poor. The dragon was too nagging, and after turning into 24k gold, it didn't stop it from nagging. I can't help but think of the murderers in the Chinese drama series who had to make a statement before killing until the police came and pinned him to the ground. .
