British writer Rudyard Kipling was born in India and won the Nobel Prize for Literature at the age of 41.
So, I am very fortunate that I live in this era and can see this gorgeous special effect
Jon Favreau is perfect as the director of this adaptation (hehe, this is a good aftermath), can be funny, can be dark, and understand special effects. Technically speaking, the hair system and motion capture of this film can be regarded as a follow-up to
For several classic animals, the film continues the minimalist and accurate character creation. After all, animals need a little brain supplement to speak, and such characters need believable rather than complex personalities and motivations. I have to say that this casting was very successful. Baloo, the brown bear, is a pompous character that matches Bill Murray. The voice of Shere Khan, the tiger, Idris Elba is also very domineering (btw, the clothes of a certain brand endorsed by Idris are really good. I will definitely not mention the name of the advertising fee), Scarlett Johansson's sexy voice also brings a different mystery to the python Kaa, you must know that the snake in the previous works is a male.
So here, we have to mention some of the changes in the movie.

The director's subtraction on the aria can be described as drastic. Unfortunately, it is not only the "Elephant March" that was shot. In fact, there are only three arias left. Being able to understand the purpose of doing this, it is not wrong to do the subtraction itself, but on the contrary, the three reserved songs make people feel a little hesitant. This also more or less represents the only fault of the film, the vacillation between changing and not changing, the contradiction between the vivid brushwork and the lack of realistic meaning.
In 2018, there will be another
