With the improvement of the age and appreciation quality of cartoon audiences, people not only pay attention to the pictures, but also begin to hope that the concept of cartoons will give them the courage to see through the world and give them the courage to see through the world while maintaining "seamless" (the pursuit of truth, goodness and beauty). Inspiration, or at least give people some new ideas. The outstanding successes in this regard are: "Shrek", Sleeping Beauty and Shrek turned into a green monster after a loving kiss, challenging the stereotype of frog turning into a prince and Cinderella turning into a princess; "Invincible Destruction King" Warn people, maybe the villain is the weaker group in the prejudice; in "Frozen", the prince becomes a deliberate king, but it is the diaosi man who can give the princess true love. These animations challenge people's common sense or prejudice, not only giving people a refreshing feeling but also prompting people to make deep reflections - fairy tales actually use children's mouths to express human's innate greed for beauty, rights and money . In fairy tales they are glorified as kindness, magic and crystal slippers (Cinderella, however beautiful and kind, needs a pair of luxurious shoes to attract a prince). Only when it appears in the image of a child can people dare to express their obsession with all of this with impunity. These obsessions were faithfully presented by Disney's early animations, and it can be said that this is also a beautifully packaged "Mary Cake".
This is the reason why "Master of the Dragon" has a good picture, but is not very clever.
The whole story of the Dragon Master can be said that I happened in a parallel world in ancient times, and the biggest problem in this world is the conflict between the two races of humans and dragons in their survival. As the two highest poles on the food chain, how the two compete and cooperate is an interesting and worth pondering question.
In such an earth-shattering whimsical world, the biggest conflict and contradiction is how humans and dragons coexist. But "Master of the Dragon" directly tells us a conclusion that does not need a grand description - "Dragon", this word embodies the whole relationship between man and dragon, so that the audience loses their understanding of the huge and unpredictable world in which man and dragon coexist. The desire to explore the many questions that are known and unresolved.
It depicts the contradiction between how humans and dragons coexist in scarcity, or the contradiction between humans and people choosing different ways of living. The Dragon Master chose the latter, which was better handled. This has long been reflected in the word "Yu", which interprets the main relationship between humans and dragons in this time and space. The rest is the conflict between people and people. Then the biggest gimmick of the movie - the coexistence of humans and dragons - became the bleak background for the hero to upgrade his tasks and change from a male diaosi to a male god. The film does not attempt to explore how the two races, humans and dragons, balance killing and cooperation.
Maybe this question is too brutal for an animated film. At the end of "Master of the Dragon 1", Nightmare threw off the automatic rear wing, expressing his willingness to accept the control of the male protagonist. I was disappointed with the whole series of Dragon Royale early on in this episode. The unruly creatures like dragons have become pets like cats and dogs, turning the original grand background into a fairy tale-like sensuality, implying people's desire to conquer other species and the pursuit of power. And sadly, the dragons have embraced it.
The lack of concept makes "Master of the Dragon" destined to be a good-looking but not great animated film.
