I saw a movie a long time ago, and the deepest memory I left is that polar bear with a handsome style in armor. So tonight I revisited the movie version of "The Golden Compass" again.
I watched the first three episodes of the first season of the "Dark Matter Trilogy" in a row and talked about my feelings.
1. The scene is very grand. The opening CG has the feeling of "Game of Thrones", and the costumes in the play fit the scene. But compared to the same type of drama, it is not outstanding.
2. Improper casting. Daphne Keane is not the right person for the protagonist, she is more suitable for playing a role with less rigid expression, or her acting skills are not enough to support this role, most of the time she has a papaya face, and her acting skills are reflected in the right On the abuse of eyebrows, a young European and American version of Jing Tian.
Compared with the cute and lively Laila played by Dakota Blue Richards in the movie version, who dares to love and hate, it can be said to be a world of difference.
3. The plot is flat and straightforward.
Maybe the plot will improve later, these three episodes make people want to sleep. It is straightforward and extremely redundant to explain why the protagonist grew up in the academy and why he fled. The first half of the original novel is very sleepy. After changing it into an episode, you should dig deeper into the parts that the original novel failed to show, and extract what attracts the audience, instead of using this running account method.
All the plots that should show a thrilling and attractive plot are all passed.
As soon as she appeared in the movie version, she showed Laila's extraordinary storytelling ability, and her character was obvious, attracting the audience to watch it.
And the drama version shows nothing about Laila's ability at all, she seems to be just a dumb girl.
The protagonist suddenly becomes a waiter
Suddenly a female reporter pops up and suddenly explains to Laila, the waiter, that you've been deceived
The reason for the protagonist's escape was simply and straightforwardly explained. The lengthy story ahead was suddenly fast-forwarded here, and the task that should be explained was completed in one minute, and then Laila started to run away, and the reporter was easily killed. There's nothing appealing about the plot, it's just confession for the sake of confession. The scenes that should have been tense and thrilling turned into a running account.
4. Insufficient detail processing.
Beneath the gorgeous scenes and costumes, there are few details.
For example, Laila's elf is a gray sable for a while, a white sable for a while, and can also be transformed. These details can be made into small highlights through special effects, such as a gorgeous transformation with a magnified lens, or directly transformed into Another form, the audience's eyes will light up when they see it.
But no treatment was done in the play, just a simple white sable appeared in a while, and a gray sable appeared in a while, and the place where the transformation can be shown is blurred and quickly passed by.
Mrs. Coulter is a lady with both maternal love and evil, and her status is very embarrassing for her peripheral design and camera processing. As a director, you should show the actor's strengths and avoid her weaknesses. The director is completely unqualified in this regard.
Look at this ill-fitting skirt, sturdy thick arms, and small breasts
The movie version of Mrs. Coulter, a collection of grace and luxury
This fuzzy carving, are you really the legendary golden compass? I feel like I can't see clearly anymore.

There are many others. The color control of the picture and the shooting angle of the lens have not exceeded the average level of the same type of American dramas, which can also be said to be low-medium.
Summarize:
As a TV series, there is enough time to explain the plot clearly, this drama did not do it.
As a TV series, each episode should have at least one attractive highlight, at least the first three episodes did not.
Under the premise that there are films from ten years ago as reference and reference, and the original works are used as the direction of the plot, such a large-scale work, only to produce such works, this is a completely unqualified shooting team. In the gorgeous big scene, only rough plot and rough details, coupled with the rough acting skills of the protagonist, constitute this vague pseudo-drama, which is known as the highest investment of the BBC.
