The call of adventure

Hero with a Thousand Faces
8.2
Joseph Campbell / 2012 / Golden City Press

[Typical scenarios of the summoning are dark forests, huge numbers of trees, gurgling springs, and the disgusting, despised appearance of the bearer of the Force of Destiny. ]

"Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" is the fourth part of the entire Harry Potter series. In this, Harry Potter's style begins to turn to darkness and gloom, and the picture is often very dark (dubbed by the barrage netizens as lights). Is the teacher imprisoned in Azkaban?). On the one hand, it is because the age of the original audience is increasing year by year, and the story is gradually becoming more adult year by year. On the other hand, it coincides with the above point of view put forward by Campbell. The person summoned (Voldemort) has a disgusting, despised appearance.

First Sign: Harry's Dream

The gloomy and terrifying environment, the sun ☀ has not yet been seen, the nearby angel statues can't see their faces, the vague tombstones of the crosses, and the main place where the tall and gloomy dream takes place in the distance - the attic, all inspired Harry. His curiosity calls Harry to join this journey of self-growth and adventure.

Second Sign: Death Eaters Appear

The picture is the same dark, chaotic, and terrifying. The protagonist showed a different aura at this time, and was accidentally bumped into, ha, fainted. Then there was a misunderstanding that Harry had summoned the Death Eaters, which further deepened the connection between Harry and Voldemort, foreshadowing the inevitable confrontation between the two.

Third Sign: Participate in the Triwizard Tournament

[Some invocations signify noble and historic causes, others mark the beginning of religious enlightenment. ]

This is the most important call in the film, from the moment Harry Potter's name is thrown into the Goblet of Fire, it means that his confrontation with Voldemort is about to begin, heralding Harry's "self-awakening".

[The familiar range of life is broken, the old concepts, ideals and emotional patterns are no longer applicable, and the moment of transcending the threshold is coming. ]

During this summoning, the friendship and love among the three have undergone tremendous changes. The friendship between Harry and Ron had a small rupture during this accidental summoning, resulting in a misunderstanding; Ron's quarrel, Harry's encounter with the goddess Qiu Zhang, and the beginning of love, all indicate that the three have officially entered adolescence, and the old emotional model between the three is no longer applicable to this unfamiliar scope of life.

And this hegemony match was completely a hoax by Voldemort - using Harry's blood to obtain a complete body, the scene they came to at this time was also what Harry dreamed of in the first sign. After that, the feature film starts(?)

2. Personal feelings

When I watched the Harry Potter series for the first time, I had already experienced the torture of mathematics and physics. There are also many times when I can't emotionally resonate with Harry. So what makes me feel more is the death of Senior Cedric. He was so friendly, warm, honest, reciprocal (and so handsome), always thinking about the safety of others, and was killed by Adawasso. killed. The original movie Voldemort said to the senior was "Kill the spare" (to get in the way). It hurts to have to say this sentence, which negates the senior's efforts and all traces of his life. We are self-sufficient in our own world, we are the pride of our parents, we are the trustworthy object of our friends, we will have our own troubles and happiness, we feel that our existence will definitely bring something different to this world, we are unique and inseparable It is missing, but a word of hindrance seems to tear all the disguise. The reality tells us: everything is not necessary for you, and your existence is not unique. Even if you work hard, you are just a supporting role in the end.

very handsome
For a second that would never end, Harry stared blankly at Cedric's face, his expressionless grey eyes, like the windows of an abandoned house, his mouth half-open, looking somewhat be surprised.

All in all, this Harry Potter has given me a good viewing experience, with plots, special effects, looks and humor, and aroused my desire to watch them all.
