Analyze "Miss Pei's Fantasy Castle" with a high concentration of chicken blood

I finished watching this movie with a little excitement. After all, this is Tim Burton’s 2016 new work.
The movie is adapted from a best-selling novel. The novel is divided into three parts. This movie only talks about the first part of the novel, which means that if nothing happens, the model of this movie is the same as "Alice in Wonderland", the first part First look for director Tim Burton to set up the characters, scenes, props, atmosphere, and the feeling of the whole movie. After the movie ip hits the spot, I will find another director to direct it. This is also done in the American drama "House of Cards". At the beginning, director David Fincher was invited to shoot the first few episodes, and then it became an assembly line production. A set of mature models.

Let’s talk about the film perception: the
overall film is smooth, and it is a mature Hollywood commercial film. Perhaps due to the relationship of the novel, the first half of the film is quite lengthy, and it takes a lot of space to introduce the fantasy functions of each stranger. But today, seeing the special effects of these strangers feels like this. Ten years ago, it might be a little stranger.
In the second half of the film, the appearance of the Soul Eater (also called the empty demon) brought the film into a belated climax. Then he gradually got better. When the scene of eating eyes and an army of skeletons appeared, I could finally feel that this is Tim Burton's movie. came back!
Perhaps Tim Burton himself would think that this movie cannot be 100% created by Tim Burton. Maybe film censorship made the film choose childishness in many scenes that can make people more tasteful, and the strange people in the orphanage are all children. Therefore, although the whole film is filled with Tim Burtonian gloomy dissociation and absurdity, it can be defined as a juvenile version of Tim Burtonian film, and even the final battle is playful.
When the protagonist's affection is not well prepared (in fact, it is already good, I am more picky haha), the ending hastily ended.
The actor's performance of eva is a three-pointer, exquisite style, and also brings out the mystery, solemnity, and fearless temperament brought by the role of Miss Pei. The male protagonist Asabat (previously Hugo, Ander’s game protagonist), this time the acting is very average, and there is still a lot of room for improvement.
Some of the bugs in it are also worth discussing (the bug question will be written at the end), maybe when the second brush, you can understand the ins and outs.

—————————— High-energy warning, a comprehensive analysis of the movie plot—————————————
In 2016 in Florida, the hero Jack was different from other people of the same age, other people of the same age People should eat and play, and he chose to work in a supermarket. Because he wants to support his grandfather.
One day grandpa suddenly called and told Jack that someone was going to hunt him down. At this time, Jack reminded his grandpa that it was time to take medicine. It turned out that his grandpa was considered to have a mental problem. But Jack returned to his grandfather's house that day and found that his eyes had been dug out and fell into the woods near the house. Before his death, his grandfather told him that he must go to the orphanage where he was a child. I found a bird and told him that you are my grandson. I really want to be in it.
After all the explanations were over, Grandpa died very acquaintedly.
Jack then turned on the memory mode. He remembered that the bedtime story of his grandfather when he was a child was that he often told him about the orphanage. The orphanage of his grandfather was a peculiar orphanage. All the children in it had strange functions, had invisible people, and opened their mouths. There are people who come out of bees, people who can float up as light as the air, and so on. The most important thing is that Miss Pei, the dean of the orphanage, is a person who can become a bird. After the grandfather finished Amway every night, he showed Jack the photos to continue his brainwashing. Little Jack was so fascinated, he showed the photos to his classmates, but he was ridiculed. Little Jack was injured in his heart, so he decided not to believe in Grandpa's Amway anymore. From then on, like adults, I believe that my grandpa has mental problems.
But this also led to a result that Jack began to be different from his peers, and he had to see a psychiatrist frequently to solve psychological problems.
One day Jack’s birthday, the dead grandfather had prepared a birthday present for Jack in advance. Jack opened a book about Amway in the orphanage. When the book opened, there was a postcard in it. The postcard was sent by Miss Pei from the orphanage to his grandfather two years ago, hoping that grandpa would have the opportunity to be a guest in the orphanage.
At this time Jack thought of his grandfather's Amway, so he asked his psychiatrist to persuade his parents to let him go to the isolated island to take a real look at the orphanage. From then on, he could put aside the past and embrace the future, and head towards the pinnacle of success in life.
So Jack’s father and Jack took a boat to a small island called Sizhou Island in Bolivia. Only 92 people lived on this small island, and of course there was the orphanage where his grandfather was a child.
On the island, Jack did not eat the toilet or go directly to the orphanage. However, it was discovered that the orphanage had been bombed by the Nazi army on September 3, 1943, and all the children in it, including the dean, were killed. Is it true that what Grandpa told him is false? !
Jack, who didn't want the story of the movie to end, went to the ruins of the orphanage again the next day. Go deep inside. At this time, I finally discovered the children in the photos of my grandfather, including Emma who is lighter than the air, invisible people, twins, and fire girls. The group of friends took Jack into a cave and told Jack that this was a time and space crossing gate. From here, he could return to the day of September 3, 1943.
After they went out from the other side of the cave, they really returned to 1943. The sun was shining and the wind was beautiful, and the orphanage was not blown up. The dean inside, Miss Pei, also prepared tea to welcome Jack.
Jack was led by Ms. Pei to visit the orphanage and all his friends. The friends also tried their best to show off their singular abilities in front of Jack, making it as if Jack was the casting director. Who is there in the orphanage? Emma, ​​the fluttering girl who can float above the air, was introduced before. Emma had a scandal before Grandpa Jack left the orphanage. But then Grandpa Jack ran away. Since Jack and Grandpa looked alike when they were young, Emma fell in love with Jack at first sight.
In addition to Piao Piao women, there are also little boys who can have wasps in their mouths, as well as invisible people, twins, little girls who can make plants infinitely bigger, hercules little girls, fire girls, and curly-haired girls with open mouths behind them. . The heart man who can control any props with his heart, and the dream man who can be used as a movie show.
Jack also learned from Miss Pei’s introduction that it turns out that Miss Pei can not only become a bird, this bird is not an ordinary bird, but a bird of time.
When returning to the bird, you can choose an unlimited 24-hour cycle on any day. Repeated this day. Their orphanage was about to be bombed by a Nazi plane at 9pm on September 3, 1943, so Miss Pei could only choose to cycle indefinitely for the first 24 hours before being bombed. Therefore, the children in the orphanage and Miss Pei are still as young as they were before, and they have not grown old at all. And Jack's grandfather left this infinite cycle of time, married a wife and had children and grandchildren.
Jack is a guest after all. It is impossible for him to stay on September 3, 1943 for a long time, so he returned to the real world through the space-time gate of the cave. And when I left, I actually took a personal letter from his grandfather to Miss Pei. This is a petty theft, stealing other people’s personal letters, where did you learn the scumbag, my little Jack.
But Jack brought the letter back to reality because of the plot. After opening the letter and reading it, he found that the group of people in the orphanage were fighting against a man named Byron.
Originally, Jack thought that he understood the truth, but there was still the truth in the truth, so he decided to travel back to 1943 to find the little friend there to ask for clarity, but the little friend promised that Miss Pei could not tell him too much. He can only do both soft and hard to ask his current ambiguous lover Piao Piao Nu to reveal some secrets. Piao Piao Nu had to take Jack to a shipwreck, and the shipwreck can become waterless through the air blown out by Piao Piao Nu. Jack and Piao Piao Nu found some photos and maps on this shipwreck. The map has the world marking the locations of time and space crossing doors, and the photos are the handsome 5-inch ID photos of the villain Byron.
At this time, Piao Piao woman also told Jack a secret that was shocking to the sky. Jack is actually a stranger. His special function is to see a kind of invisible monster-shi soul. This kind of soul eater specializes in eating strange people. Eyeballs. At this time, he remembered that grandpa had no eyeballs before he died. It turns out that his grandpa was killed by the Eater of Souls.
In order to solve more mysteries, Jack went directly to Miss Pei. At this time, Miss Pei also felt that the movie was almost halfway forward. Not to mention that the plot would not be able to unfold, so she made tea and cakes and was about to tell Jack. All the truth.
It turns out that many years ago, their strangers were divided into two factions. The radical faction led by Byron wanted to use the time-returning bird experiment to create a device that would allow time to circulate indefinitely but the outer space and time continued to flow. To put it simply, it is to make yourself immortal by returning to the time.
So several members of their radical team caught a bird and did the experiment. The experiment failed and the consequences were serious. During the experiment, they began to mutate, becoming no eyes, nose, ears and hair, only a terrible big mouth and limbs. It also becomes like a spider. Very ugly. This is the Eater of Souls. The Soul Eater soon discovered that by eating the eyes of a strange person, especially the eyes of a strange child, if you eat a certain amount, you can change back to a human shape. After changing back to a human shape, the eyes will only have no eyeballs like cosmetic contact lenses. There are only white eyes, but at least it becomes human. So these Soul Eaters keep going all over the world to eat the eyeballs of strange people. After eating in that time and space, they will find some time and space crossing doors around the world to break the time and space maneuvers made by the time back bird, and eat the inside back time bird protection. Strange person.
And at this time Jack also found that it’s no wonder my grandpa’s eyes were gone. It was eaten by the Eater, and then Miss Pei suddenly realized that your grandpa is not old and dead, then Byron may have to follow us. Give up this orphanage and give up this time and space maneuver on September 3, 1943, or the Eater will come and eat us. So after the chat, they started packing up and preparing to evacuate.
And Jack can't evacuate with them. After all, Jack has his own real life circle and his parents. So cruel to say goodbye to the Piao Piao woman who was just about to develop a relationship with herself, and returned to the real world in 2016.
Back in 2016, she found that things were very bad. Someone in the town had his eyes gouged. Others don’t know why, but Jack knows. The Soul Eater had been chased down on the island. He felt that he had a heavy responsibility and he had to go to tell the news, so he ran back to the cave and prepared to cross to the orphanage and told them to hurry up and escape. At this moment, someone also followed him into the cave. That person was either someone else or his former psychiatrist. His psychiatrist was changed by Byron! It turned out that it was all set by Byron! If you don't want to die, you won't die. If Jack doesn't want to go back, Byron still doesn't know this hidden door of time and space! So it is equivalent to Jack leading the wolf into the room!
Byron took the foolish Jack to the orphanage at this time and threatened Miss Pei to let him turn into a bird to enter the cage by himself, because he still did not give up his experiment of immortality. Then put the kids in the living room and wait for the Eater to eat them. Miss Pei knows that only Jack can see the Soul Eater, so she must protect him so that Jack can protect other friends. Jack, who has the protagonist's halo, is that everyone will help him, and the little friends from the orphanage also obediently go to the living room and wait for the Soul Eater to eat them.
So Ms. Pei turned into a time when the bird was captured, only Jack and her friends were left. Jack, through his ability to see the Soul Eater, started a desperate fight with the Soul Eater, and he also asked other friends to use it. Own special function assists in escape. Just like this, a little leader Jack was born.
They are going to save Miss Pei after the Soul Eater is killed. What to do without transportation, no problem! Isn’t there still that sunken ship? He asked his little lover Piao Piao Nu to blow the entire ship empty, let Huo Nu ignite the engine, so he went to save Miss Pei.
Miss Pei has been caught in January 2016 through a time-space gate. They also followed until January 2016, when Jack fought the enemy through three stages! There is not much description of the fighting scenes inside, and overall it is quite interesting. Pay special attention to the special skills of the twins. I haven't mentioned it before. I know that the twins' skills will be the finale! The twins keep their faces covered, but if they are frightened or threatened, the twins will take off their masks at the same time and show their shocked faces. As long as they see the person, they will instantly become stone! What a great skill! And the heart men who use the heart to summon the Skeleton Legion are so amazing, those Skeleton Legions are so cute!
After the rescue was successful, it was also the time for Jack to say goodbye to his little friend, because he is now just in January 2016, that is, before his grandfather died, he loves his grandfather, so he can't follow his little friend back to 1943, he And his own circle of life.
After the farewell, I rushed home and saw my grandfather alive, who seemed to understand his grandson's mind, do you want to sleep with my ex-girlfriend Piao Piao. Go go, so Grandpa gave Jack a sum of money to find a way to find Piao Piao.
Jack opened and hung the time and space crossing doors all over the world, from 2016 back to 2011, and then back to 1980 from 2011, and so on, tossing and turning through various time and space crossing doors all over the world, finally returned to 1942, and still stayed for a year. The navy finally got to meet Piao Piao in 1943!
I finally kissed my grandpa’s ex-girlfriend Piao Piao Nu! Perfect happy ending!

———————————————————————————————————————— The reason why there may not be a second brush in the
bug discussion
, There are some bugs that are not very understandable.
1. Are time and space crossing gates and time and space maneuvering two different things? ! That is to say, all parts of the world go back to a certain age from a certain era, time and space travel through the door. And the time-space maneuver created by the bird-returning time is to repeat that day, right? !
2. If Jack returned to his grandfather before he died in January 2016, then it can be understood whether there are two Jacks in that time and space? ! And there is no Jack in the real time and space that Jack hasn't traveled through? That is, on the island, Jack's father will never wait for the return of his own son? !

    Completely exceeded my expectations, probably the coolest movie I've seen in the cinema this year; the guy who put the subtitles in his glasses said there were no Easter eggs, I said I didn't want to watch the Easter eggs, but the subtitles. See subtitles? Turns out I'm a peculiar man too
