The visual effects in this film have reached their peak, not only referring to the data modeling and shaping of animals and environments. All characters and background images and cultural settings have been organically blended. The three-year cycle is long enough, and it is basically impossible to practice such slow work in China. Neither the market nor the capital issuer allows it, and neither has matured to this level.
The jungle is shaped like a tropical rainforest in South Asia, and various vines and typical plants with thick leaves fill the screen.
The appearance of the little boy also has obvious South Asian features (Indian Ocean, Sri Lanka, Pakistan).
Yes, brown bears and wolves are also widely distributed in the tropics, but Bill Murry Bear must be lying when he says she's hibernating.
The forest dominated by elephants is also in line with the belief
in the primitive object god of Hinduism. On Wikipedia, the elephant god is described as "Ganesha is widely revered as the remover of obstacles, the patron of arts and sciences and the deva of intellect and wisdom." A god who can use wisdom to overcome difficulties. It has a certain echo with the little boy in the film who keeps growing and relies on wisdom to defeat the powerful Alba tiger.
The towering temples occupied by the orangutans are mostly inspired by the strongly decorated temples of the Pagoda in the Minakshi Sundareshvara Temple complex in the Madurai region of Madurai, South India. Ganesha belief is also an important belief here. It was also a former British colony.
[Model of 3D Photography]
The movement of the camera completely takes care of the 3D viewing experience, with rich depth perspective, and the moving subject is rampaging against the central axis of the screen. The main adrenaline stimulation of the whole film is inseparable from this. (No spoilers, no more narration)
But if you insist on the lens language of the Soviet school and the European school, as a family film suitable for all ages (in fact, there are still many exciting pictures), this film should not be honored. However, the composition of the shot at the end is still very interesting, and the sublimation of the film has penetrated into my heart, and the 3.5 points have been raised to 5 points.
[Story] The
main line is the same as general fighting monster upgrades, and personal growth is no different. So the plot and the degree of completion I think are not as good as Disney's own Invincible Destruction King and Rapunzel, but definitely better than the books of Brave, Frozen, and Super Marines.
But the double-line plot of this film is really excellent, suitable for all kinds of brain holes.
Orangutan = entitlement. Grandpa Walken choked on various Broadway plays, perfect for a powerful and terrifying, Power Drunker voice. The British accent on ancient Indian ruins is reminiscent of the colonists.
Snake = temptation. When I hear Black Widow's voice, it's crisp, oh my god, when is the Black Widow movie coming out?
Both key villains have a title song of their own.
Orangutan's "I Wan'na Be Like You":
Now I'm the king of the swingers
Oh, the jungle VIP
I've reached the top and had to stop
And that's what botherin' me
I wanna be a man, mancub
And stroll right into town
And be just like the other men
I'm tired of monkeyin' around!
From the lyrics perfectly reflects the ambition of a hegemon, grab the red flowers and conquer the world.
"Trust in Me" by Snake
Trust in me
Just in me
Shut your eyes
Trust in me
Will cease to resist
Just relax
Be at rest
Like a bird
In a nest
This kind of voice is directly disarming people.
The most interesting are the wise black panther and the clumsy and cute brown bear. The British half-British grandpa Ben Kingsley who played Gandhi played Black Panther and the funniest American actor Bill Murry played Bear. It just represents a balance and complementarity in nature, agility-clumsy, great wisdom-little clever, taciturn and calm-mouth cannon.
The wolf spirit is another central point of the film, I am for everyone, everyone is for me, and the angry tiger who kills at will obviously breaks this balance. Indirectly negates the complementarity and harmony between animals. I was moved to tears by elephants. Strength is a responsibility, and every animal has it. The ending shot just expresses the rebalancing of the forest after the tiger's death.
The same question as "Zootopia", what do carnivores eat?
Why only some animals can sing and talk
