I went to the cinema with the feeling of watching "The Lord of the Rings", after all, the two works were chatted "in a humble tavern near Oxford University".
Sitting down for less than 10 minutes already knew I was wrong. This is simply a fairy tale, and it has its meaning, but it can't compare to "The Lord of the Rings", or any other magic blockbuster.
Because "Narnia" was made for fairy tale fans. To be exact, it was taken for Narnia fans. The so-called fans can be roughly classified into the following two categories:
1. Those who have read the Narnia series of novels in their childhood and were deeply attracted by them, and even though their reading level has improved greatly in adulthood, they will know how to be critical when they see similar novels. By the way, only the super fans who are still obsessed with Narnia.
According to the global circulation of the original novel, this group of fans is very numerous, several times more than the fans of "Super Girl". It is they who make up the main reason why Narnia continues to soar at the global box office.
Some people questioned that Narnia's box office inexplicably surpassed King Kong. The reason is very simple. Not everyone likes the hulking gorilla, but most people have seen fairy tales.
2. Fairy tale fans in their teenage years. Remember, how many kids grew up watching Harry Potter 1? For the same reason, I will not be wordy.
So we, who are neither Narnia fans, but also embarrassed to find out that our childhood has passed away, with the exquisiteness of adults and a little aftertaste of adult childism, join in the fun and watch "The Chronicles of Narnia", only It is equally embarrassing to find that it is not the cup of tea you imagined. As a glass of cold and clear ice water, Narnia is only suitable for those children with ice-hearted jade pots.
Of course, there are flaws in one way or another, which together create this self-righteous dislocation - Lucy seems too sophisticated while being innocent, and none of her three brothers and sisters are fully involved. Like many bean friends, I think the best thing to do is the gestures and expressions of the otters and the majesty of the lion king Aslan, especially the eyes. But when the stunt characters of a movie are more pure and brilliant than all the characters, it cannot but be said that it is the tragedy of actors, directors, the film industry, and even all mankind in the age of technologicalism.
Digression: I only have one hope now - I heard that "The Adventures of Tintin" is also in the planning, and it is being done by the great director Stephen Spielberg. Based on my good impression of both of the above, I just hope Tintin isn't photographed like Narnia.
Because, although I am not a fan of Narnia, I am a fan of Tintin.
