A Hollywood Family Story

When Arthur Spadwick vanished into the sky in a whirlwind of wind spirits holding his older daughter by the hand, we knew it looked like The Chronicles of Narnia The story, fantasy is nothing but a gimmick, begins with a divorced mother and three children moving into a strange new home, and ends with a strong family relationship. The film tells us that Truffaut 30 years ago commemorated Orson Welles in his memory. In his article, the point made about Hollywood's "family stories" of the 40s and 50s is not at all outdated, in fact, it is too subtle: "Hollywood films at the time were sentimental and childish, but they were also quite a family story. Favorite... Before Orson Welles, the field of adolescent mood disorders was almost never addressed in Hollywood films, and two of Hollywood's favorite lines of dialogue seem to be: 'Son, you're a good boy!' and 'Dad, you are the best dad in the world.'" Times have changed, and the most proud dialogue in Hollywood films has undoubtedly become: "Child, I love you." There is no doubt about the inescapability of this classic line No, when Grace's father said it to him, remember that the movie was rated PG-13, which not only revealed a reasonable reason for the movie's childishness, but also stated that every child under the age of 13 is To be able to turn his head 90 degrees in the dark theater at the moment and look at his father's blurred face, perhaps with tears in his eyes, we believe that the producers at this time should raise a glass to the successful narrative mechanism of Hollywood, who We all know that it is not too expensive for anyone to pay for an overly beautiful family relationship, unless from the very beginning, the real audience thinks that such pretentious clichés cannot provide a practical solution to the common family crisis of modern people except for dreaming. .
Mrs. Spadwick restores her last look to the year she lost her father's love. It must be like this, otherwise the audience will mistakenly think that she is suspected of incest. The creator uses magic to make up for this vacant father-daughter love for decades. , but messed up the grammar in the magical logical grammar, which is precisely the narrative basis of the film, and as a result, the film is quite empty and boring, no more typical than the absurd end of the ogre.
It's not that "Fantasy Elf Event Book" is worthless, the fact is that in the face of the loose and boring "Golden Compass", "Fantasy Elf Event Book" is much better than the former in terms of rhythm and storytelling, although it lacks Nicole Kidman's arrogance.

The Spiderwick Chronicles quotes

  • [Lucinda asks her father Arthur Spiderwick to take her back with him]

    Arthur Spiderwick: I'm so sorry. I was so captivated by all the magical creatures I found that I lost sight of the one I already had. But I see now, and I may never be able to forgive myself.

    Aunt Lucinda Spiderwick: You came back as you promised, so I forgive you.

    Arthur Spiderwick: My dear, because the book was saved, the sylph allowed me to come see you, but I cannot stay. Because if I do, all my years will come back to me all at once, and I will turn to dust.

    Aunt Lucinda Spiderwick: Then this time, take me with you.
