What a pot of thick chicken soup with love to generate electricity

I should have been interested in this movie when I saw the trailer at the beginning of this year. The soundtrack for the trailer is while my guita gently weeps, the overall feeling is very conscientious, plus the dubbing cast is simply incredibly luxurious, so I went to watch it when it was released in Hong Kong... The film can indeed be well-made, The overall plot is a bit weird.

First of all, I still want to exaggerate the production level of the film. The style is exquisite, and the character looks quite like a voice actor, and it doesn't seem to be that acting. As a stop motion animation, the overall style of the film is very uniform, and there are several big scenes. The scene at the beginning of the film is very similar to Moses separating the Red Sea, the appearance of the evil sisters, the battle of the skeletons, and the several scenes of the evil sisters are very good. In particular, the battle of skeletons is much better than three fights of white bones... Not only the big scenes, the details of the film are also remarkable, the small movements of the characters' expressions, and the production of some background details are taken care of. There are also a lot of night battles in kubo, but the screen is also very clean, without the dark feeling, so on the whole, from the screen, the film is simply nothing to fault. The kubo shooting should be fixed with a clay model, and then processed into this angular origami style. It can be seen that the production party is still quite moat... The dubbing is also very good, and the kubo line skills of the art are quite good. Yes, and I can’t hear the Irish accent at all... The monkeys of Theron and McConaughey’s beetles have almost contracted all the laughs, especially the monkeys, which carry countless laughs with almost every word? Voldemort is a professional boss like Voldemort. Not to mention, although there are not many dramas, but the lines are quite exciting? The most outstanding thing is the evil sister Hua of Spicy Rabbit. The evil laughter made me get goosebumps. I guess it can scare a bunch of children... The producer must have put a lot of thought into making such an appropriate casting. However, from this casting, we can still see how powerful Hollywood whitewashing is. In a cartoon with a Japanese background, none of the main characters are dubbed by Asians, which is also a bit intoxicating.

The next step is to enter the Tucao... The overall plot of the film is simply powerless, a bit like a seven fairy who collapsed the dark version. The first half is pretty good to be honest, it's relaxed, and the characters are pretty likable. Maybe it’s me looking at Renji, I always feel that the evil sisters have a weird love-and-hate sadomasochistic relationship with kubo? But since the mystery of kubo's life experience was revealed, the plot began to fall apart...... I I don’t understand how the beetle was smashed by the evil sister and found the memory, and I was stabbed to death as soon as I found the memory... The monkey beetle and the evil sisters died so sloppyly, they couldn’t keep up with the previous plot rhythm. ? Forget it. In the end, the battle between kubo and the big boss made me embarrassed and cancer... Big Boss, I didn’t see what the three treasures are for me in the end, and since the Big Boss is not affected by the treasures at all, he wants to hunt down the kubo dad who is looking for the treasure... When kubo finds that the treasure is right After the big boss was useless, he decided to use the power of love??? Then he gave a speech on love and memories, played the piano twice, literally twice, and defeated Da Boss............ And the big boss has lost his memory and been influenced by love??? Such a thundering plot is also rare, even if you want to insist on capitalist values, you can’t be so casual......

But in general. , Kubo is still not concealed, it is worth seeing. Although the film insists on using love to generate electricity at the end, it still retains the basic logic, there is no reunion, no resurrection of kubo, the final frame is also beautiful, so it can't be regarded as too bad, right?

    Surprising original fantasy stories, made in Hollywood with the most oriental aesthetics, can be called gods in stop-motion animation. The middle stage is a bit sluggish, and the world built is a bit small, but the style and dubbing lineup are really going to be daily~~~

    Compared with pandas, which presents Chinese elements extremely beautifully, this one uses Japanese elements to create a lot of creative points. The use of origami is particularly wonderful, as well as the texture of the scene. But the plot and characters are a bit weak, the dialogue is not concise (especially monkeys) and the jokes are occasionally blunt, and when the action scene can't go on, a white light switches to the next scene, and the glass cover is speechless at the end... The Beetle's western face always feels like the other The oriental face of the character does not match
