This is a movie from the original Disney team that made #BeautyandtheBeast and #Maleficent. The whole movie gave me the feeling that it is exquisite. From the strange costumes to the gorgeous and meticulous props, I can't feel the drama. I can completely integrate into this fantasy world belonging to Clara through this top-level costume. From marshmallow hair to blooming evening gowns, from ice carriages to beasts of mice, the advancement of modern technology has left me scratching my head when it comes to special effects. But is this a loss? Has Disney forgotten how to tell a good story while making big, beautiful worlds? The rhythm of the main line of the movie is very chaotic and cliché, there are some things that should be there, and there are also things that should not be there. Including stage play, reversal, adventure. It's like watching a child play a house, although there are parents and mothers, and there are cooking and marriage, but the joy and sadness of reality in real life are always missing. The emotions in the movie can't touch me from the bottom of my heart, because those emotions are so unreal and illogical. Coupled with the villain's contrived acting and tone (she's really not a good actor), I keep reminding myself "I'm buying tickets for Disney". Of course, the movie still has something to praise. The film's homage to the stage play The Nutcracker is pretty obvious. The steps of the actors and the lines in front of the camera made me feel like I was enjoying a delicate stage play. There is still a good meaning, Clara's bravery, firmness, and intelligence. The Nutcracker soldier's loyalty, unyielding. In such a chaotic world, these beautiful qualities shine just as well. When I was leaving the theater, the little girl walking in front of me held her mother's hand and said to her mother, "It's so beautiful! Shall we continue to see you next time?" When I heard this, I A little dissatisfaction after watching the movie disappeared immediately, maybe this is the meaning of this movie's existence. It really opens up a beautiful and beautiful world for children, in which the characters have their own characteristics and are beautiful and innocent. Yes, someone has to make a movie for them, just not for me anymore.

    "The Nutcracker" and "The Snow Queen" are two major shadows of childhood, although the shadows are fascinating. This is the first Russian steampunk cult story of Dark Toy Story that I have read, but the movie just deleted all the darkest and most classic elements: trampling on a rat to become an ugly child, a sickly girl, seven The big mouse queen, the walnut-biting villain with bleeding jaws, toys vs mice, fatalism and curses (Hoffman likes these themes very much, refer to "The Sandman")...The film has a lot of Russian elements, but there are only dolls and clowns. interesting. The tribute to Tchaikovsky's ballet is really embarrassing. The plot is not hot enough, the old-fashioned reversal, the character makeup is exaggerated, the special effects are pitiful (the tin soldier is okay, here may be a tribute to another fairy tale "Little Tin Soldier"), the expansion is always a bit imitating Narnia (and the "Nutcracker" is the most What is not needed is this imitation). Maybe the heroine's temperament can save points...

    Only suitable for young children, the female lead is not very good, and I don't see how beautiful
