Red flowers burn out childhood memories

Without paying attention to the movie's introduction, with the reputation of "Disney's most technologically shocking movie in recent years", the movie ticket money was spent on a good weekend afternoon.

I was so ignorant that I found out "Oh~ it's not a cartoon." Only in the first 10 seconds of the movie did

I realize that there was only one boy in the whole drama. People are playing, and other sets and animals are all technical. No wonder, it is almost comparable to Cameron's "Avatar".

The original book "The Jungle Book", of course, only later learned that the story in the original book makes people more sad and pessimistic, and it is more in line with the characteristics of Walt Disney, "happy ending", "evil can not prevail", "everyone is equal". ", "love", etc.

As the little boy grows up in the forest, the dry season of the so-called Peace Rock exposed allows everyone to share peace.
In the story, I felt the shadow of "The Lion King" countless times, the same animal world, the same revenge for the father, the same fire, and the end of a rain. Well, I have to mention that The Lion King was the gateway to my love of animated films. Although I have seen countless animated films over the years, the memory of this film is as deep as recognizing that my mother is a mother.

In the story, fire is called a red flower, and I think this fire implies human civilization. Humans do not belong to the jungle world, and the god who created this world is an elephant (this setting should also be derived from an ancient legend, although no strong proof has been found). Wisdom and courage, defeat the tiger, and integrate the individual into the big environment of the jungle...

The story is set, in addition to everyone's beliefs, gods exist: elephants, as well as evil tigers, eerie snakes (probably derived from Eve Adam of the Bible), wolves nursing little boys, black panthers taking little boys into the jungle, cumbersome and clever bears, gorillas playing soy sauce, and of course all kinds of tiny animals. Having said so much, it is like the various settings in Crazy Zoo to enrich the animal world, but the world lacks a kind of humanity. I think it's the lack of some obvious fauna character shaping. Of course, the world of forests cannot be measured by a human society.

Regarding the thinking of this movie, in addition to the invasion of primitive forests by human civilization, there is also the existence of the elephant god. When God moved trees again, diverted rivers, and exposed Peace Rock, no matter the dry season or the wet season, the peaceful age has come.

    The story is very weak, the fantasy adventure, the battle between good and evil, the heroic feelings, and the plot alone only gives 3 stars. However, the special effects are powerful, the details are realistic, and the ending Jungle Book is carefully done. The theme song was brainwashed and magical. After listening to it twice, I remembered it. King Louis probably belongs to the blackened version of Maurice in "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes". The rodents have already spoken. What do the monkeys and elephants think that they can’t speak? Humans have mastered the tools, and technology is indeed the primary productive force!

    The story has long been familiar, and there have been countless versions before. This time, a more serious tone and visual presentation of the forest have been adopted to establish a "Zootopia". The emotions of CGI animals and their relationship with each other are breathtaking. The original spirit of love and fear also promotes the development of characters and plots. IMAX 3D once again showed the immersive charm and beauty. The real 3D is to let the audience enter the screen, not to break the fourth wall.

The Jungle Book quotes

  • King Louie: [singing] Now you might think it's ridiculous / That me, a gigantopithecus / Would ever dream, I'd like to team / With the likes of you, man-cub / But together, we'd have powers / All the jungle's treasures, ours / I got desire, you got the fire / But the dream I dream takes two / So, ooh, I wanna be like you / I wanna use that flame, just the same / You can do / Oh, how magnificus it would be / A gigantipithicus like me / Could learn to do like you humans do.

  • Mowgli: Bagheera!

    Bagheera: Mowgli? Stay there. We'll come around to you.

    Mowgli: Is it true?

    Bagheera: What?

    Mowgli: Is Akela dead?

    Bagheera: We were going to tell you.

    Mowgli: You knew! You both knew! And nobody did anything about it!

    Baloo: Kid, just hold on.

    Mowgli: Someone's gotta do something!
