we have really grown up

Let's talk about Arthur. After reading it, I just realized one thing deeply, that is, I am really old. I used to watch such a classic plot, but now it seems that I really want to deceive children. How can there be so many coincidences in the world? How can the adult world give a ten-year-old child such a mission? A thousand-year-old princess fell in love with a ten-year-old boy? Bad guys catch them and let them escape with just a few wisecracks? There is no difference between the king and his servants, neither superior nor resourceful? It is true that every child imagines that he is a hero when he is a child, shouldering this important mission, slaying demons and saving the world in the magical kingdom of magic, but that really only belongs to a ten-year-old fantasy, not the real world. Adults won't like this anime, not because they don't understand it, but because they see it too well.
But then again, there is a small detail in the film that really impressed me a lot, that is, the little boy used a tennis ball to destroy the entire evil kingdom after returning to the real world. When I saw this scene, the sentence that popped into my mind turned out to be "The world is as big as the mind is." isn't it? M, who looks like a demon, is powerful and dangerous, arrogant and evil. He has an army that can make the other seven kingdoms tremble, but he is only in the world of the Millimeter Kingdom. Once he appears in the larger world, he will also But it's a mighty little ant. Isn't that the case in real life too? There are no tigers in the mountains, and monkeys dominate. Some people spend their entire lives only knowing trivial things about their neighbors. Some people operate and invest all over the world and enjoy an extremely broad life. Their vision determines life, and life is never static.
And about the evil M, it's not as evil as we think. He doesn't look terrible, except for his ugly appearance, except for the disgust of eating dinner with sharp fingers, except for some greedy and endless desires... It's just a little vulgar. He was once a hero, dazzled by victory, and gradually degenerated and addicted to his self-inflated desires. He is not terrible, but sad. He once had the power to create everything, and maybe he once traveled mountains and rivers like Arthur to explore ideals Kingdom, what he longed for at the time might not be wealth and power, he might have also fallen in love with another Selena... However, the endless lust destroyed himself, and the copulation with evil made him completely corrupt and sink. Into the bottomless abyss. Compared with other demons, this evil M is more faceted, more three-dimensional, and perhaps more realistic.
In short, this film is more suitable for children to watch. If you are no longer innocence, choose to watch other films, because we can no longer appreciate the innocence and the endless fantasy of the world. We have really grown up.

    3D animation directed by the famous Luc Besson. The combination of live action and 3D animation in this film is very interesting and wonderfully conceived. Although I have not read the original book, I believe that the world in the original book has been fully expressed. (The sequel is more vivid) This film is really different in structure from Disney and Hollywood cartoons. The most exciting and intense content is not placed in the final climax, but

    I always feel that the plot is set a little hollow, but in any case, it is the first cartoon directed by Luc Besson.
