Rolling Eyes for Non-Disney Viewers

I forgot that I still have this number... I watched a lot of movies recently and didn't write it, but I don't plan to make it up, so I'll just write the "Aladdin" I just watched.

(I don’t know if it’s a remake of the animated version, I haven’t seen the animated version, I didn’t like to watch Disney when I was a kid?)

I don't know how to use the app, but I forgot to rate it [I can't find where to add it]? I give 1 star.

[Spoiler dividing line]

The advantages first:

The effects are as good as ever! As a fan of One Thousand and One Nights! It's the bustling Baghdad I imagined! The opening building, the merchant, the girl, and the goods, are great! ! ! !

As a musical (huh? You say it is a movie???), the style is very Bollywood, full of oriental elements (not Abbasid, not even Ottoman style. Peacocks, tattoos, elephants, musicals, very Obviously India... Of course, whether it is Indian culture or Arab culture, I can't expect Europeans and Americans to know), and the singing is not bad.

[But the prototype of the monkey is the rhesus monkey... This is probably an Indian story]

In the last wish, Aladdin and the unnamed Smurf (heh) thought about each other: one wanted each other to be free, and the other hoped that the other would make a new wish to become a prince and marry a princess. Then, in the expectation of the elves, Aladdin unexpectedly (but not unexpectedly by the audience) chose to let the elves free. The only thing that impresses me! Almost in tears.

As for the communication at banquets and weddings, I know that although the etiquette was strict in that era, the communication between people was still like this. It was normal and different from the current Arab society. It's good to let people know this, even though it's just a fictional fairy tale (refuse to admit that it was adapted from One Thousand and One Nights! Can only say that it uses some of its elements).

Now for the disadvantages:

The plot is...indescribable. Princess Jasmine, who did not know how to get out of the palace, met Aladdin through a private interview. The qualities that Aladdin showed when he visited the palace at night for a private meeting with the princess was seen by the ambitious prime minister Jafari (Jafari: I am obviously the prime minister of Harry Rashid!) who needed a person with agility and a noble heart, so he was kidnapped by the prime minister. To steal the magic lamp. During this period, the second illness, Jia Fari, turned black, and after stealing the magic lamp, he abused the king, and even married the disgusting king when he did not despise the princess. In the end, with the secret help of the magic lamp, Aladdin's side won, and the princess became the first sultan. ………… super cliché! And it's not good either! The worst thing is that the characters are not shaped enough to support the plot.

The characters... are full of slots! ! ! !

The self-contradictory princess: she can sneak out of the palace under the heavy protection of the king, and she is surprised that Aladdin can sneak into the palace with agility; she wants to visit the world in private and wants to see the world from another angle, but even buy something and ask for it "Silly White Sweet" who doesn't know what to pay for (and didn't bring); wants to be a female sultan, but only reads books and thinks the knowledge in the book is enough; thinks that she is being suppressed and "silent", but she resists only a meal. Light-hearted preaching? …………All in all, in fact, the princess can dig a lot, such as the content of the song... But why use singing to express her anger and resistance? This is a movie or not a musical, okay? ! For example, why she can only read books to understand the world, because she is not qualified, she was locked up, but she was brushed over by an understatement? ? ? ? ? Her resistance is so weak! ! !

The villain with two diseases in ambition: he climbed up from the bottom (thief), he has ambition, he is not willing to be second, not willing to be humiliated by the superior (although the audience does not feel it), wants to rule the world, wants to be the most powerful The sorcerer; he is sensitive, suspicious, insanely inflated after gaining power, showing off his power, taking revenge on the leader (the king), and finally dying on the power he has gained... You can guess his next step. ...Well, a powerful force that doesn't belong to you will destroy your own admonition? [doge]

The head of the palace guard: You say that you only obey the sultan for the sake of duty, but the sorcerer submits as soon as he takes office? The princess surrendered to the old sultan after lecturing without pain? ? ? ? ? Want a face? ? ? ? Is this loyal to duty loyal to the sultan? The faction changes so quickly and is so confident, why are you not a robot?

The magic lamp is Aladdin's best friend and the second protagonist! It didn't even have a name!

Even Aladdin, who seems to have no problem with the character design, is hesitant and struggling between "wanting to maintain the lie that he is a prince" and "telling the truth and letting the magic lamp be free", that is, it is not painful or itchy with the magic lamp. Under dispute. Since he did not reflect his vanity, his growth has also become ordinary.

To sum up: the plot is superficial, and the characters are thin.

If I was 8, I would love [two ha]

………… If Hua Mulan wants to make this kind of Disney bad routine of low-level characters (Mulan), nobles (princes, such as male protagonists) and wizards (the actors have already come out) and conspiracies that are not conspiracy, even if The heroine is lyf and I will not contribute to the box office [smile]

ps. It was still 20190526 when I wrote this... In 2020, it was also shot by Hua Mulan?... Anyway, I rolled my eyes and looked at it all the way, and there are so many flaws that I am too lazy to write [Anyway, there are a lot of people complaining, and there is no shortage of me One】
