Make a wish to the meteor

One sentence review: If you could make a wish, you would wish the film came true.



With its heavy British accent, standard Victorian architecture, and the kind of reverie landscape, you'd expect the director of this film to make the most of it, but it's a pity that there's so much content and so little time.

Michelle Pfeiffer has started to play the old goblin, and the famous generation of supermodels has given up almost all the brilliance to Claire Danes, the star. This is a complicated fairy tale, but the main point is that the prince and princess live happily together. Although the whole plot can be summed up in one sentence, you can't help but wonder what kind of clouds are floating in that fantasy sky. The flying pirate ship, the witch's changing magic, all kinds of bizarre illusions, and the delicately changing feelings. In fact, when a handsome guy like Charlie Cox and a pretty girl like Claire Danes meet unexpectedly, you can't help but think of ways to keep them together. When you find out that Claire Danes' star Yvaine shines brightly when she opens up, you can't help but look forward to the two protagonists kissing. The selection of characters in the film is really exquisite, and Claire Danes is simply an indelible brilliance in "Romeo + Juliet Romeo and Juliet Postmodern Passion". It is worth noting that in the earlier film "evening night love (also translated: night)", when the heroine played by Claire Danes flirts with the hero, there is a scene of looking up at the starry sky, and the hero points to the sky. The star said: "Have you seen that star? Our star at that time." Unexpectedly, in this film, Claire Danes really became a dazzling and charming star. As for Captain Shakespeare, Robert De Niro's performance can be described as "amazing", and the offbeat gangster from "Analyze That Boss Shakespeare" is back! That playful rhetoric, transvestite and gay character set, combined with a poetic name and creepy reputation, seems like only De Niro can unite. The most noteworthy is Michelle Pfeiffer. When you see her stunning appearance in the film, you will have no doubts about her "witch" image. What would have such storage capacity. It has been ten years since "Ransom Ransom Storm", and fifteen years after "Batman Returns", but the style is still the same, what is it if it is not a witch?

As for the plot, the most fatal part of the remake of the novel into a movie is the ambiguity of the narrative. The various deletions from the original book make the whole storyline lack the excitement of the original book, but the film does not have much impact on the overall plot. It actually feels a little bit for the full plot and damage details. There are too many places in the film that deserve to be fully developed. From the special effects process of the Dark Queen's construction of the magic hotel, it can be seen that the film still has room to enrich the performance of many details. At the end, the clues were gathered a bit hastily. Everyone gathered mechanically as if they had completed the RPG characters, and then played the game with the mantis catching the cicada and the oriole behind. The climax scene of the battle of the three witches is quite disappointing, the rhythm is not as strong as the impact of the hotel scene, only the action of fencing with the zombies is slightly refreshing. Beauty star Yvaine did not have a good transition in the emotional transformation of handsome guy Tristran. She was overjoyed suddenly, she fell in love with each other suddenly, and her passion erupted suddenly. It was not a process of "boiling-evaporating-re-condensing", but a direct sublimation. The steam suddenly turned into frost. In the end, the process of the final victory seemed contrived, with the feeling of ending for the end. The passion of the two people blew up the old goblin to pieces. There was no explanation for this function before and after.

There is basically nothing to fault the actors, and several main actors have performed well. Of course, it is also possible that the author is deceived by Claire Danes's style, so he is not objective. But when you face a shooting star, what else can you do except make a wish?

    Perhaps this is a movie with a strong commercial flavor, but it was a coincidence. After rewatching it, I found out that there is an almost stubborn determination behind those floral patterns. Firm love, firmly believe that what I found is MRS.RINGHT, and firmly believe that I can make changes and sacrifices for her. A happy ending may be another metaphor for seeking benevolence and gaining benevolence. Nice film.

    Compared with Neil Gaiman's original work, it has the same humor, but a little bit less irony, and a little more romantic adventure~~ All the actors are great! ! ! Made a lot of changes for the mainstream of the movie, but it still looks good~~
