This film directed by Andrew Adamson and produced by James Cameron, with most of the actors from the Canadian national treasure Cirque du Soleil, should be called a 3D stage play. There is no ups and downs in the plot, no character dialogue, but a combination of circus performance and CG animation, presenting an exquisite circus stage play.
Due to the impact of the epidemic last year, Cirque du Soleil, a world-class cultural brand comparable to Disney, declared bankruptcy, dismissed 95% of its actors, and suspended all performances, which is really heartbreaking. I have seen Cirque du Soleil's stage play "Toruk: The First Flight" adapted from the movie "Avatar" before. I was shocked by the beautiful stage and the performances of the actors that integrated the scene and high technology. I have always wanted to appreciate the charm of other plays. The pandemic has made this dream even more difficult to achieve.
Fortunately, the 2012 film recreated the stage of several classic plays of Cirque du Soleil, including the most prestigious O show (O is taken from the French pronunciation of Eau (water), which, as the name suggests, is a large-scale water show), Inspired by the elegance and agility of water, O show combines acrobatics, diving, synchronized swimming, jiu-jitsu and other performances, which are beautiful; there is also KÀ show based on ancient Chinese stories, which integrates China on a rotating mobile stage. Acrobatics and martial arts, as well as breathtaking stage visuals. The story begins when the heroine slides into a distant world under the stage with the sand while watching a performance at the circus, like Alice in Wonderland. There she saw the mysterious and absurd circus world, and she also met the trapeze in the circus. The context of the story is very simple, and more space is reserved for the beautiful and fantastic circus performance. All the costumes of Cirque du Soleil are tailor-made for actors, and it is also because of the extreme pursuit of details that the magic of its brand can not be replaced. Cirque du Soleil is also the first circus in the world to reject animal performances. It relies entirely on actors' performances and infectious stage presentations. It combines traditional ancient circus art with modern technology to create an immersive stage play.
"This is a world full of whimsy. There is no bondage, no sadness, and no inequality. Here, everyone lives in harmony and is at ease. Every happy you is your own king." This is the spirit of circus, in the ups and downs of high In the difficult action, in the wonderful collision of bizarre sound and light, and in the beautiful and wonderful stage, start an extraordinary fantasy adventure.
