The live-action "Aladdin" evokes the memories of past animations, and also refurbishes the original story. In Disney's current ranking of live-action adaptations, it should have the strength to sit down in the hearts of many diehard fans.
Disney's series of live-action movies have recently become more and more suspicious of the main dishes served. The taste is not only emphasizing feelings but also feelings. Fortunately, when movie fans are tired of eating the emotional dishes that Disney can't come up with new ideas, the live-action dish released not long ago The version of "Dumbo", the story style let Tim Burton let go a little, successfully brought some new atmosphere, and the latest live-action version of "Aladdin" directed by director Guy Ritchie and scripted by John August, there is a higher level of surprises , and finally brought out a live-action work that is quite in line with expectations.
The live-action "Aladdin" story is based on the original, and the audience seems to be targeting adults who have grown up after watching the original animation. The plot describes Aladdin, a poor boy in the exotic Islamic Middle East world, who has the value of an unfinished diamond. Aladdin accidentally obtains a magic lamp and a magic carpet, and embarks on an adventure with his partner monkey Abu to go to the palace to find his favorite princess. This time, the live-action adaptation of "Aladdin" is the adaptation of the script with new ideas and new tensions, excavating the potential but not mentioned details in the original work, giving fans a new perspective in a familiar world , you can revisit the story of "Aladdin".
The movie has a good start from the beginning, which is slightly different from the storyteller who created the Arabian mysterious night in the animated version. The storyteller played by Will Smith, with the difference in the appearance of the big ship and the small ship sailing on the sea, quickly cuts into "Ah". The heart of the Latin story: not using appearance as a benchmark for judging a person's inner worth and worth, and continuing to echo each character's struggles, Aladdin, Princess Jasmine and Chancellor Jafar, and even Will Smith in the story Because of their appearance and origin, their value is jointly underestimated and restricted; the comparison between Aladdin and Jafar is more delicately handled in the film than in the animation. The movie "Aladdin" extends Jafar's The background makes Jia Fang another possible dark side of Aladdin, which can be said to be a highlight of the live-action plot.
Another highlight is the large scenes and special effects that Disney pays attention to (the monkey special effects are very real, and people are curious, are they really all special effects?), the singing and dancing scenes are presented in IMAX 3D with extravagance and gorgeousness. Surprise and naughty, add a bit of modern humor; Alan Menken re-arranged "Aladdin", Aladdin and Jasmine met on the street, the song "One Jump Ahead" is not too surprising, but Will Smith sings, and hip-hop Producer DJ Khaled's new version of "A Friend Like Me" is full of freshness and visual experience, and another "Prince Ali" sung by Will Smith is majestic and fun, and it's exaggerated to feel Prince Ali's team on the big screen. The exaggeration that is almost "full" is full of feathers, fireworks and flowers. Fortunately, because of the harmonious use of colors in the film, there is not too much Bollywood feeling. The highlight of the show "A Whole New World" is too focused on the momentum of setting off a climax. Compared with the animation, it is not so likable and impressive.
As for the actors, Will Smith's elf charm dominates the audience. His blue skin and complexion are not too inconsistent. Marvin Kansali, who plays Jafar, also has his own style of ambition, while Mena Massoud who plays the protagonist Aladdin The standard set off Aladdin's temperament (singing is also close to the original); it is interesting that Disney still does not forget to portray women to cater to political correctness in all live-action movies, and Naomi Scott, who plays Jasmine, has a modern new song "Speechless". Straightforwardly accuses women of being oppressed and silenced. The film deliberately highlights this section in an attempt to create a power to break through the traditional stereotypes, but it makes Jasmine, who is determined to break through the Dali, not challenge Jia Fang or her father to inherit her after singing a song. The tradition of the throne is to teach Ha Jin, the captain of the guard, to have the courage to judge and say no to the authoritative superior. It's a pity that Jasmine's strength to wake up could not help but shrink back. If Jasmine could choose to challenge the throne at that point, and persuade the captain of the guard, Ha Jin, not to ignore her value of inheriting the throne because of her female appearance, perhaps it would be more relevant to the core of the story? Echoing the ending, will Princess Jasmine gain her father's affirmation and take over the throne even more directly?
The live-action "Aladdin" evokes the memories of past animations, and also refurbishes the original story. In Disney's current ranking of live-action adaptations, it should have the strength to sit on the sidelines in the hearts of many die-hard fans.
