From Mickey Mouse to Nicholas Cage

The current group buying is really hot. I took the movie tickets bought by my girlfriend and went to Huayi Brothers Studios. I originally planned to go to see "Inception" again, but the overwhelming crowd really scared people. A big jump. And the time I wanted to watch was long gone, so I watched "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" second, but the results were still full of people participating in group buying.

However, compared to "Inception", "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" did not bring surprises, some were only disappointed, and even under the screen, I was almost sleepy. Alas, the off-court and on-court factors are really a very failed movie-watching experience.

Uncle Nicholas Cage's vision for film selection in recent years has gone from bad to worse, with a bunch of rotten films, occasionally wonderful, but quickly diluted by the bad reviews of junk films. Although playing action movies became popular after the actor, but after that, "Adapted Screenplay", "King of War", and "Bad Lieutenant" are also worthy of praise, and the rest are more popular, "National Treasures" "It's only general. When I came to "The Sorcerer's Apprentice", the performance was the kind of image that I forgot after reading it. Then there is Monica Bellucci, the sexy stunner who once fascinated all living beings because of "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily", but now she is still very old. The dragon set usually hits soy sauce. Even without reminding, she won’t even think about it. Who is she in the film. Jay Baruchel was used to playing a supporting role in a comedy like shit and pissing. He suddenly provoked the main role in the film and became the male number one. He also felt a little weird. Although there were breakthroughs in his performance, he was always at the mercy of the past. The impression left by people, it can be said that the desired leap has not been completed. The only one who shines is Alfred Molina, who is a big contradiction. This "Doctor Octopus" in "Spider-Man 2" and "The Bandit Leader" in "Prince of Persia" have outstanding supporting roles. , Has played its consistent level in this film, and the strength of the contradiction is amazing. As an ace producer, Jerry Bruckheimer made a small miss in "Prince of Persia". The box office did not achieve a consistently high standard, and the performance of "The Wizard's Apprentice" should be even better. Lose it. For this film, apart from these, there doesn't seem to be much else to say.

All about this film, because I was drowsy, so the rest of the space, let's just finish with excerpts:

"The original idea of ​​the film originated from the immortal work "The Apprentice of the Wizard" created by the great German writer, thinker and naturalist Goethe in 1797. Goethe described the self-report of the apprentice of the wizard in the form of a sonnet. While the master, an old wizard, was away, he wanted to show his magic in a clever manner. He commanded an old broomstick to wrap a cloth strip, grew a head and two arms, and took a bucket of water to bathe himself. Who knows that this living broom not only filled the bathtub with water, but also filled all the cups and bowls with water, and the apprentice forgot the spell to stop the broom, which caused the water to overflow the golden mountain. The apprentice was impatient. Picking up the axe and splitting the broomstick into two, the result was counterproductive. Two live broomsticks appeared. Finally, the old wizard returned to clean up the scene. He took the broomstick back to the original cupboard and cast a spell so that the broomstick would only serve Since listening to his personal orders.

"A hundred years later, French composer Paul Ducasse created a widely circulated symphony fragment of about 10 minutes-"The Wizard's Apprentice" based on this poem. This symphony was a great success because of its gorgeous musical tone and excellent rhythm, as well as the energetic "Broomstick March". After the test of time, this piece has become Dukas' most viable and immortal work.

"About forty years later, Mr. Walt Disney learned of this famous symphony, based on which he created the classic animation "Fantasia", and Mickey Mouse played the protagonist in the film-the apprentice of the magician."

When Nicholas Cage found Jerry Bruckheimer, this magical story was brewed step by step. Under the shadow of "Harry Potter", if you want to have a good performance, and Not an easy task. In fact, enthusiasm belongs to enthusiasm, and this film is really not pleased. I won't say more about anything else.

However, based on my original affection for Nicholas Cage, I still watched his "King of War" and "Bad Lieutenant" after watching this film. Let me write them one by one.
