Beautiful things
Lin Mohan (Grade 5)
Do you believe that there is Santa Claus in this world? Let me introduce you to a movie about Santa Claus - The Polar Express.
The protagonist of the film is a young boy who doesn't believe in Santa Claus and, on Christmas night, boarded the Polar Express - a very fast train. Along the way, they drove to the North Pole, and it was really thrilling - they encountered 90-degree downhill tracks, thousands of deer herds, and they raced against the breaking speed of the ice! Want to hear more episodes? Just listen to me if you want.
After the little boy got on the train, another little boy, Billy, got on the train. He didn't believe in himself, much less in Santa Claus, he was alone in the other carriage. In the car, the captain will check everyone's ticket and type a few English letters. Dessert time is up, and dessert is about to be distributed. A little girl in the carriage secretly left a cup of dessert for Billy, and the little girl and the captain brought the dessert to Billy. The little boy saw the ticket on the seat and wanted to give it to the girl, but unfortunately it was blown away by the wind. The ticket flew over the wolves, over the bird's nest, and then flew back to the carriage. The little boy thought he would be thrown from the back of the car by the captain without the ticket, so anxious, he hurriedly handed the ticket to the little girl, who knew that the little girl was actually driving the train. Suddenly, the car slid to and fro, ah! Ice and snow covered the tracks, preventing the train from running properly... Can they get across the ice lake safely? What crisis will they encounter? I won't spoil the spoilers, you can see for yourself!
We have just enjoyed the highlights of this movie together, let's enjoy the warm music and Christmas-like images of this movie together! The music in this movie is very beautiful, such as the cheerful music in the dessert, which makes people want to dance. The little girl and Billy sing "when Christmas comes to town" on the train is the most beautiful Christmas golden song masterpiece. I feel that this song can bring a warm feeling to people, and the melody of the song is full of childlike innocence. The picture of this movie is also quite good. After reading it, red and white colors appeared in my head, which also happened to be the colors of Christmas. I think this movie can be a masterpiece of Christmas.
After watching this movie, I gradually believe that there are many beautiful things in this world, such as: Santa Claus.

    The story is always the soul of a movie, and conflicts cannot be created for the sake of conflict. Some plots are far-fetched, detached or inexplicable. Fortunately, the coldness and decline in the first half are brought back by the powerful atmosphere in the second half. Although the expressions of the characters are still stiff, it is a work from the beginning of the century after all, and the use of performance capture technology also has contemporary significance, and this technology also gives a more free and broad environment for editing. It is the steady and powerful impact and shock of visual effects. Although the picture cannot be said to be very lifelike and exquisite, the use of light and shadow has completely improved the picture by an order of magnitude. The bright lighting at the climax does not make people feel dazzling. On the contrary, there is a sense of peace and happiness that has been bathed in it. Fantastic. You believe because you believe. A person’s dream may be a dream, but the good hope shared by all is definitely no longer just a dream.

    Animation above the pass line. Now it seems that the character modeling is average. In 2004 at the beginning of the new century, it was an excellent existence; the advantage is that the facial expressions of the characters are extremely fine, various micro-expressions are naturally revealed, and the fidelity is close to real people, which is one of the biggest highlights of this film; The special effects, soundtrack, pictures, art, and lenses are all above the standard, and the whole film reflects the extremely high level of the American film and television animation industry in the world. At Christmas, if you can't hear the bells anymore, then you've grown into an insensitive "adult".

The Polar Express quotes

  • [last lines]

    Hero Boy: At one time most of my friends could hear the bell, but as years passed it fell silent for all of them. Even Sarah found one Christmas that she could no longer hear its sweet sound. Though I've grown old the bell still rings for me, as it does for all who truly believe.

  • The Conductor: There would be no Christmas without the Polar Express arriving on time! Am I the only one who understands that?

    [He sees the Hero Boy]

    The Conductor: You! I should have known. Young man, are you bound and determined that this train never reaches the North Pole?

    Hero Girl: But, look!

    [the Conductor sees that all of Caribous]

    The Conductor: Caribou Crossing?

    Smokey: I make this herd to be at least a 100,000, maybe even a million. It's going to be hours before they clear this track!

    Steamer: A tough nut to crack!

    The Conductor: We are in some serious jelly!

    Smokey: And a jam!

    Steamer: Tight spot!

    Smokey: Up a creek!

    Steamer: Up a tree!

    Smokey: Lost In the grass!

    Steamer: I'll tell you what's grass: our a...
