The director (the director of K-PAX, it seems that there are not many works), the details and some personality characteristics are very cute.
There are not many special effects, but it's not bad for a small investment of $60 million (to watch in Hollywood).
The make-up and movements are very sloppy~~ The
location is well chosen.
The bad guy is stupid, the protagonist is even stupid, and the ending is stupid and sudden.
However, it doesn’t matter if you look at the score of a children’s movie.
It's a pity this story, and those little details.
★ The idea of being able to "read" fairy tales into the real world is really fun. Especially when the protagonist first discovers the fun or "consequence" of this ability, it should be expressed as the highlight.
For example, the positive side of this ability can be expressed by referring to the style of "Big Fish" or using wall-E to collect small toys. Let the protagonist indulge in it, without knowing the consequences.
When the bad guys were called out and the wife was lost, this scene could have been as novel and thrilling as "Museum Night" (I used the standards of children's movies). . . .
It's a pity that the movie skipped instantly, and it only took 10 minutes to remember. And pretending to be so unbearable to look back, this suspense is very boring.
★ Regarding the rules of "coming out" through crossing and "going back" through crossing. In this movie, it may also be a flaw in the original work.
There is no decent explanation in the movie of how the law of traversal works. It often feels like something out of nothing, incredible, but it doesn't make sense. In terms of how to interpret the rules of the game, neither movies nor novels have a natural expression.
At the beginning of the film, the little girl uses dialogue to explain Dad's weird behavior, suggesting that he is looking for a book. This expression is a low-level method in any movie.
Dialogue is not used to tell the ins and outs, only third-rate TV shows do.
Later, this third-rate method was repeated several times. Most of them were used to explain the "rules of the game", and they continued to explain until they told everyone that little girls also have superpowers, but they couldn't explain why they didn't find them so early.
Later, the little girl suddenly had the ability to write and write (albeit at a very low level), and the ability to read it would come true. There was still no foundation before. This paragraph is also: The author said that if you have super powers, you have super powers. Very nervous~~ It can only make people lament that the main characters are too slow, or because they read too little and their life experience is too stupid.
This part of the script was not adapted, which directly affected the whole story. No matter how unnatural, there is a lot of nonsense, and there are still a lot of loopholes.
In fact, it is not difficult to solve this problem. Like the example I gave earlier, if the first part is taken, the effect will naturally come out.
It's like playing a game and playing a rehearsal first. The beginning part can never be saved. The plot of "the daughter grows up and the wife is gone" must not jump out directly. It should be performed step by step, at least in such a state that the male protagonist understands his own abilities and never reads stories to his daughter again.
The audience should be familiar with the rules to accept the story.
This principle is valid for similar plots.
★ This is an extended version of a British drama.
Except for the new line, the original author is German, and the location is based in Italy, the directors/actors are basically made in the UK (Paul Bettany, Sienna Guillory, Helen Miller, Grum...)
Please ignore Brendan Fraser, Although he is the leading role. But that was the result of the original author Cornelia Funke's insistence that the director had to compromise.
The author's quirky style is unreasonable. In addition to contributing a good story, she has almost no positive effect on the film. She insisted that Brendan Fraser was the inspiration for her creation, and she was picky about the producers and did not allow German adaptations. Finally, she moved her family to Los Angeles as a co-producer (I believe the Germans will be very pleased) , And finally got the title of Cornelia Flakey (Mad Cornelia).
According to her, the role of Dustfinger is based on Daniel Day Lewis, and Vigo Mortensen... (sympathizing with the two uncles) The
above is from http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0494238/trivia.
Finally, this The disturbed film was actually handed over to the British. And this result is worthy of the British magic: it is too much like a crude TV series. It's not a magical commercial film.
The typical features of British magical drama "Ink Heart" all have: small structure and small vision, simple characters, simple mentality, non-sensical tasks, no plan (or plans are used to fail), and it happens to save the world.
Those random transitions, the little people's wicked ideas, the result of a missed collision due to lack of planning, the stupid confrontation, and the relatively incompetent side of good and evil, are actually the most interesting parts of this movie. It's more like a true story than a well-designed commercial film that sells special effects. . . . And it also emphasizes the wit of little people.
It's just that there is a problem with the way the story of "Ink Heart" unfolds, it's not enough foreshadowing, and the ending is too sudden. Otherwise, just like those cute British magic, it has interesting characters, interesting details, and jokes. It can be refreshing.
The confidence of 60 million US dollars, it is estimated that there is a lack of money~~
★ I haven't read the original work, and I don't know if some of the details are the contribution of the crazy woman Cornelia. However, it’s a shame that there are several interesting things in this movie that have not continued to play: After
one of the Forty Thieves came out, he kept chanting "This is a dream, this must be a dream". If you can continue to talk about it, and because it is a dream, so you are not afraid of death to be a hero, it would be great. It's a pity that I gave up halfway.
Those who stammered out were semi-finished products, and this idea was also very fun. It would be nice to show how unicorns, flying monkeys, and other fairies are "semi-finished".
The badass boss is playing games at all, and it seems that he wants to call out Cinderella in the end. But how do we want to know more about the previous games?
How good is the thief and Dustfinger? ? If the end of the story is that they fly high and stay together forever... Many people will be happy.
In an interruption, Paul Bettany’s wife Jennifer Connelly played his wife here. How about a good man who cares for the family? Ugh......
