Why do you say "again"? ——Voiceover

On May 3, the sky in Beijing cooperated to show the scene of two rainman playing together: it was gloomy, dark, and raindrops the size of beans poured down in an instant. The atmosphere at that time was quite consistent with the movie "The Golden Compass" we went to see.

Alternative worlds parallel to the real world, magic, ghosts, fantasy, aliens, as long as there is a basic and reasonable statement, it can whet my appetite.

There are more and more magical worlds on the screen. The "Lord of the Rings" trilogy reminds me of the games "Diablo" and "Heroes of Might and Magic" that I was addicted to in my college days; "The Chronicles of Narnia" evokes The first impression of the wizarding world as a child; "Harry Potter" pointed out an exciting path for the wizard to advance.

If "The Lord of the Rings" is a magical world for adults, then "Harry Potter" is a magical world for young people, and "Narnia" reproduces the magical world of children.

Most of these worlds are an extension or expansion of the human world, but the "Golden Compass" is another magical world.

In this world, everyone's soul transforms into an animal (daemon), or a lion, or an eagle, or a kitten glaze, or an insect, and grows with him.

So, when a group of children are chasing each other, you can also see a group of various small animals running and flying under their feet...
When people are walking on the lively street or raising their glasses at a banquet, Animals
big and small can be seen everywhere, jumping up and down on the roof, on the beams, and under the table... When a person walks in the cold ice and snow in the Arctic, you are no longer alone, and there is a daemon to accompany you, Of course, whether it is a brave snow leopard, a loyal hunting dog, or a mischievous kitten is directly related to your nature.

If you lived in such a world, what animal would your daemon be?


ps, in fact, the world setting of "Golden Compass" is somewhat similar to a Japanese manga "The Adventures of Yoyo" that I read before.

The Golden Compass quotes

  • Lyra Belacqua: Are you gettin' scared, Pan?

    Pantalaimon: Scared? A little.

    Lyra Belacqua: It's all bigger and scarier than we ever thought.

    Pantalaimon: Maybe we shouldn't be doing this.

    Lyra Belacqua: But we've got to though, ain't we - go on I mean.

  • Magisterial Emissary: Scholars still refuse to hand over the last alethiometer and now they've given Asriel all the funds he needs. If he succeeds in proving the existence of these other worlds, it will contradict centuries of teaching. There will always be free thinkers and heretics, unless we deal with the root of the problem. That is why Mrs. Coulter's work is so important.

    [to The First High Councilor]

    Magisterial Emissary: What progress has she made?

    First High Councilor: The doctors at Bolvanger are close to perfecting the inoculation against the effects of Dust.

    Magisterial Emissary: I am relieved to hear that. If we can protect our children from the corrupting influence of Dust before their Daemons settle, then we will nurture a generation at peace with itself; one that will never question our authority again. We owe it to the young, do we not?
