The third sublimation of the fairy tale

The world is no stranger to Andersen, and Disney, as the master of painting Andersen's fairy tales, doesn't know how many children's mornings and afternoons, bedsides by their pillows. Today, shows us that after 76 years of animation precipitation, Disney's interpretation of fairy tales has been becoming more and more perfect. In these 102 minutes, the concept of "fairy tale" has been sublimated three times and displayed like a work of art. in front of us.

The word "north" has a special temperament for people in the northern hemisphere. Europe has a "Nordic style", and China has "the scenery of the north, thousands of miles of ice and snow", and the high latitudes with cold climate seem to always be so quiet and sacred , which makes people yearn for and in awe.

This land gave birth to Hans Christian Andersen, and also gave birth to the kingdom of ice and snow in . From the calm lake where the large wooden boats were hoisted, to the snow-covered pine forest, Elsa escaped from the coronation ceremony, shuttled among nobles and commoners in different costumes, and Anna struggled and struggled. In the wind and snow whistling on the lake, the story continues to advance, and the audience's perspective also shuttles through this Nordic land. With the excellent 3D effect, everything looks so real, and the frosty breath blows.

In this way, Disney uses its unparalleled art skills to turn the black and white fairy tale into a feast of light and shadow, which is the first sublimation of the "fairy tale" in the film. But reality is not the whole of "Frozen". The film also incorporates elements of geometry, Nordic architecture, national costumes, ballet, oil painting and other elements in the traditional picture performance, showing the vigorous classical beauty with the most advanced technology.

It turns out Disney succeeded. From a microscopic perspective, the edges and corners of snowflakes grow, and the magnificent ice palace is naturally formed in Elsa's singing. The superbly designed picture performance in countless places throughout the film makes the gap between the two concepts of "animation" and "artwork" thin. several layers. Especially when Elsa stepped on the terrace of the Ice Palace, each frame was rendered for more than 132 hours, and the crystal and magnificent effect was amazing.

If is called an audio-visual feast, the art level supports the first half, and the music level definitely supports the remaining half. This time, Disney has embarked on the old road of integrating opera into animation, but it has surpassed the past and reached the pinnacle in one fell swoop. From the wordless humming of Vuelie when the production company is shown, to Anna's young child's voice Do You Want to Build a Snowman at the beginning, to Let ItGo at the top of the mountains, to the symphony at the end of the film, the music is always perfectly integrated with the plot. The impeccable melody, singing and orchestration also steamed the aesthetic temperament of fairy tales into the depths of the film - this is the second sublimation of the "fairy tale" in the film.

The biggest disadvantage of Disney is that the interpretation of love is too single, and it is always logical for the princess and the prince to "live happily together" after several adventures. In the early stage of the movie, I saw the setting of two princesses and two princes (let's think of Kristoff as a prince), I was vaguely worried that it would be the ending of the four people pairing up and getting married. This model was considered neat ten years ago. But it would be too simple to put it today. Fortunately, Disney successfully broke through itself in Frozen, telling people that there may be more fairy tales, and telling people that the definition of true love is actually wider.

Love is liquid, so we tried to use poetry, music and movies to shape it, and this time Disney's "stereotype" is very beautiful, love has no patterns, no rules, it is a superposition of time, a heavy gift from life . A deeper understanding and an anti-traditional fairy tale, this is the third sublimation of the film's "fairy tale". "Some people are worthy of your melting", in this ice and snow, there is such a strange fate.

From "Snow White" in 1937 to today's "Frozen", twelve princess movies, thirteen princesses, fairy tales are still passed down from generation to generation, but we have learned from "Frozen" see more beauty. The princesses have grown up, and the people watching them have grown up. We are delighted to see that Disney has grown up too. She began to dig deeper into the aura of fairy tales, giving fairy tales a more exquisite background. Disney has controlled the heat of the "more realistic fairy tale" very delicately, and the romance and fantasy have not been reduced at all, but it can arouse more ripples in people's hearts. When the fairy tale has been sublimated three times, it has been carved into a work of art, and it has become a kind of feeling. No matter adults or children, they have to take it easy, let go of the layers of defenses in their hearts, and invariably fall in love with it.
