"Po Huai Wang" tells the story of how the game characters in the virtual world save themselves. In terms of subject matter and publicity, it is more attractive than Pixar's "Yong", because its background is set in an old-fashioned coin-operated machine full of childhood memories, and the characters in the classic game become the protagonists. The 9-to-5 job is actually about survival.
Thanks to the creativity of the animators, many details of the film are commendable, the patch panel is designed as a central hub to the various games, and the power cord of the game console is the channel, which is similar to the old "TRON" (1982). ) is somewhat similar. In fact, each character is just a computer program. As long as the power is pulled, the world will be destroyed. If there is a problem with the game, either the hardware is damaged or the program code is modified privately. The suspense in "King of Destruction" is obviously after the Also, the movie climax is actually a hot reboot.
In addition to the splicing of the virtual and real worlds, another highlight of the film is the character setting. For this point, "King of Destruction" obviously follows the reverse route of "Super Villain" and "Despicable Me" works of the same level. The exchange of villains, the identity and self-doubt of the characters, the complaints about the meaninglessness of life, and the new conflicts and self-realization based on this, and in the film, the protagonist Ralph relies on The little girl Winnie achieved this realization. At the end of the film, Winnie's tampered code is restored, the world returns to normal, and Ralph regains his confidence.
However, if you put aside the nostalgia of the story and the standardized anti-traditional routines, the story of "King of Destruction" is actually not very contagious. On the contrary, the plot is a bit blunt. For example, Ralph was persuaded by the evil king and smashed it. The design of Yunni's racing car, although it has been rescued later, is not convincing, and then there are the creation of scenes. There are four main films, one in reality and three in virtual. The first is Ralph's "Quick Hands" , the second is "Heroic Mission" by Zerg, and then "Sweet Sprint" by Winnie (reminiscent of "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory"). In fact, I personally feel that Winnie's candy world is designed to be too large and independent. It is strong and has a lot of space. This is a bit conflicting with the electronic world created by "TRON", and it seems nondescript. Although the theme of "Destruction King" is the same as that of the "Toy Story" series, the latter has only one world, while "Destruction King" has only one world. " but switched back and forth in multiple worlds, and finally ended up stuck in one world again. The candy world makes the audience forget their roots, which is the film's lack.
In contrast, the world created by "Brave" is much more traditional and rudimentary, combining ancient costumes with magic, which can only be aesthetic fatigue for audiences who are used to watching classic Hollywood animation films. Regarding worldly love or fantasy magic, the opposite is true. The story of "Yong" is not like that. The film actually contains two levels.
The first is the first, this is very simple, it mainly talks about the struggle between the protagonist Merida and the world, which can be said in just 2 minutes and 30 seconds of the trailer, followed by the second, because Merida has a firm attitude , the director arranged for a witch to fulfill the wish, and the magical color of the film appeared immediately. The witch cast a spell in the film, and Merida's mother became a bear because of this. This is not the same as in reality, because the bear Also with her mother's complete will, although it can't speak, it still behaves like her mother, Merida must break the spell before the opportunity is lost, otherwise the mother's will will disappear and become a real bear. It's something the movie didn't throw out at the start of its release, and as a result, it brings many surprises.
In fact, the storyteller hopes to realize human value by introducing the animality of bears. This is very cleverly designed, which is reminiscent of Ang Lee's "Youth School", but the difference is that the tigers of the youth school completely represent the bestiality. , it is cruel and realistic, not as full of entertainment as Merida's mother, "Yong" is a fairy tale after all, and the limitations of the form determine that it must not be divorced from human nature, nor too dark, so we see Xiong Mo Xiong This is Merida's mother learning to fish in the river. This episode is very beautiful, and it also conforms to the usual routine of fairy tales, but if you consider it from the overall perspective of film art, it doesn't make much sense. The real moving person should be Mei Li The moment when Da's mother is about to lose her humanity, because it is about choice, Merida is active, and her mother is passive. place of people.
In the final analysis, the story of "Brave" is bigger than the world. "King of Destruction" relies heavily on the world, but the story is limited, and it has lost its due status. In fact, if it wants to improve, "King of Destruction" can do better, not only Focus on the plate, but the whole. Self-realization should rely on the whole, and the nostalgia of the movie should not only stay on the surface. This is undoubtedly a waste, and the value of those classic games is the greatest. "Brave" ends here, but "King of Destruction" has just begun, and I hope the latter can do better in the sequel.
over.
