Looking forward to a breakthrough in domestic animation, I went to see this movie with anticipation and support.
Results harvest a few points:?
1. The climax and funny part of the animation is not presented by stunts and plot and images but by a few plagiarized lines mocking current affairs and politics, "house prices are too high", "forced demolition", "cats don't act" and all sorts of satire for most people. The satire is not comprehensible to children under the age of 12, who are mostly with them. Instead of a movie, it would be better to say I'm going to the Spring Festival Gala program sketches, that is also more relevant to the topic.
2. The incoherence of the story, rationalize the idea, the emperor and the general to the village of Baihua found gold mine - to the village forced demolition (forcible seizure) - Ma Liang painted oxen - - forced demolition of water cut off - Ma Liang painted oxen - - forced demolition of water cut off - Ma Liang painted oxen - - forced demolition of water cut off - Ma Liang painted oxen -Forced demolition of water cut off -Maliang painted water -to the water source to take water -the plot behind us a line of four people are not capable of combing. Probably is the general with the troops to tread on the village, Maliang big show of painting skills, to the village to paint beauty painting ugly painting money tree, Maliang troubled everyone's request to go to eat noodles, but also feel that the flower cat and the general's bird together is too idle, painted a group of rats, and then the rat war, then the rats reconciled, and then the rats go together to the emperor's car and then disappeared beauty below. This side of the invasion of the team disappeared at the same time, the general's bird came to send a message to ask Malang to go to the emperor to celebrate his birthday. Then the general showed his skill by drawing "money is like dirt", drawing a dragon to fight with himself and sealing Malang in ink. Then - Maliang and the general fight - Maliang victory (riding his own horse) - a happy ending.
3. expression of the meaning of the unimpressive, too many central ideas?
First-getting the magic brush?
How did the ink-splashing ancestor find this child and why did he give him what, no explanation?
Secondly: how does Ma Liang get the magic pen and then how does he brave the pen, which is clearer in this episode?
Again: the epiphany of using the divine pen, the epiphany just started (said to Noodle, you need my help too) and then the confusion started, fragmentation, the epiphany broke.
4. The branches are not well explained:?
1) After the drawing of the money tree, everyone realized it was a beanbag, and then nothing more?
2) After the classic rat showdown, it disappears when you get to the car?
The domestic animated film has always been unrequited expectations, three feet of ice is not a day's cold, "Magic Pen Malian 3D" (hereinafter referred to as "Malian") placed in the world animated film pattern, still stretched, is inevitable. Despite the gorgeous as Disney's technical support, but water dripping over a stone is not a day's work, comparing the two sides of the finished film, the cruel reality will still make people sad to sneer.
But at the moment, I don't want to blast the movie; instead, I want to praise it. It was poorly made, but nowhere near as bad as I thought it would be; in fact, it far exceeded my expectations. It's not ironic, I think that even if you start from a low point, if you can surpass your former self every time, you will always improve in the long run.
One of the realities we have to understand is that the Hollywood industrial system is very mature. From the technical level, from the basic quality of practitioners, in the short term, we are difficult to compete with it. What we can do is more in the storyline, the value of the connotation on the effort. So, "no effort, no mistakes" is really not a critical statement, but an appropriate evaluation. And this sentence will be a long time, the goal of domestic animation efforts. Anyone can say big words, it's true that the heart is higher than the sky, but the important thing is to be down-to-earth. So, according to this goal, we first need to understand, what are the merits of foreign films, relative to what I have had.
First of all, the merit is a higher level of concept and value guidance. Han Han said in the movie "Afterlife", which is now in theaters, that only children talk about right and wrong, and the adult world only talks about pros and cons. Let's not talk about whether this sentence itself can stand up to scrutiny, but it has been proved in domestic animation. In Maleonn, good is good, evil is evil, and good eventually triumphs over evil. It's a solid theme, but it's also one of unparalleled mediocrity.?
What is Frozen about? It was no longer a fairy tale about a prince and Cinderella. It was a process of a girl getting to know herself, seeing herself clearly, finding her confidence, integrating into society, and realizing her personal value in staying true to herself. But it's so much more than that, and even from the non-human character "Snow White," you can get a sense of what it's all about.
What is "Mad Men" about? It's really about more than just the Caveman story. It's about eternal hope, and that's something that's ****ing universal to all of us. What do we do when the world we live in is about to be destroyed, when our culture and values are facing collapse? They chose to find hope in despair, to stand up strongly from the ruins and welcome a better tomorrow....... China had a generation of literati who were so y mired in the quagmire of ruins that they could not get out of it, and foreign countries gave the answer with an animation. It's not standing still, I prefer to think of it as lifting weights. I would like to think of it as lifting the weight of the mountains. Stand taller to see farther. But first, you have to lift your head, otherwise how to climb the peak.?
And our Ma Liang? What a great sense of right and wrong, what a great sense of justice. But is the real society like that? The only absolute in the real world is that there are no absolutes. So, "Ma Liang" has no merits. But it has no faults either - at least the view of right and wrong in this movie is harmless. And what about previous Chinese animation? A major sticking point is that they can only be shown to children, and some of them can't even be watched by children. The TV version of "Pleasant and Gray Wolf" many bridge by netizens enthusiastically spat on, even if it can not be denied, full of cultural chaff is a certainty, the violence is filled with, selfishness ranks second, as for the other noise can not be said.
And what about Ma Liang? The movie began, Ma Liang stunning appearance: running faster than a horse, flying higher than a bird, crossing the forest without pressure, comparable to Tarzan of the Apes. I couldn't help but laugh, lamenting that it was "too ridiculous", but I couldn't hide my love for it. Foreign countries will also have such "superpower" scenes, such as "Legend of Bravery", but there is a background padding. The "Malcolm" is abrupt, but not annoying, with a very popular expression now called "full of positive energy".
What does it teach children? Love of nature, and nature as one; love of animals, to protect it from the bad guys; love of art, we must overcome the difficulties to realize the ideal. This is really remarkable. And in order to protect their own homes, fighting against the power of evil from a relative point of view, can also be said to be not too much of a problem.?
Secondly, the credit goes to the excellent character design and wonderful plot design, while the characters of the previous domestic animation often do not stand up to scrutiny, the plot is full of holes. The movie is a "one plus one is greater than two" art, but we even "equal to two" are not good.
In both Frozen and Flintstones, there was a trend toward multiple protagonists. This isn't caused by each character being heavy and not having a first lead, it's caused by the fact that each character is designed to stand out. You could argue that Malang is a single protagonist story, but The Lion King is also a single protagonist with an impressive villain who is not a face. Whereas in "Maleonn", Maleonn tends to be uniformly flat, even though he also has sidekicks and antagonists. It's fine for kids, but it's really boring for adults.
And the plot design, "Ma Liang" in everything is "soldiers to block the water to cover the earth", the other side of the move, I come to demolish the move, there is no more powerful plot. What is a powerful plot? A powerful plot is the one in Frozen where Queen Anna walks alone in the snowy mountains and sings to find herself. A powerful plot is the girl in "Mad Men" who defies her father and tries to climb a rock to see a wider world. Yes, this is what is often satirized by critics these days as "sentimentality". But I would say, without sentiment, what is art?
Ma Liang's design has no merit, but it has no faults. At least the plot has ups and downs, not a flat line. Malang has been disappointed, confused, and finally found his way back, so that every small child also more or less feel the ups and downs of the world, but not too much sadness and negative energy.
And from the character design, the village chief's role is one of the most colorful, I believe those who have seen it will not object. And the role of the little yellow emperor is also quite a personalized sense of joy, these are with some of the "merit" of the seedling, worthy of applause. In terms of styling, I can feel that the designers are trying to make the characters look more personalized and distinctive. For example, the little girl next to Maleonn is extremely cute. Although Ma Liang's look always reminds me of the famous singer Liu Huan's youthful appearance, the overall look of the film's styling design is highly unified - extremely "cute and adorable" trend. If you decide to make a movie for kids, you have to make it watchable for kids, and "Ma Liang" does that very well.
Third, the work is impeccably detailed, and there's a lot of room for improvement in the production of Ma Liang. Not to talk about the purely technical aspects, but just to say something like split-screen design, animation soundtrack and other creative aspects.?
According to common sense, 3D animation is about the visual experience of the vertical space, but many shots in "Malang" are up-and-down plane space, and never one or two. This kind of split-screen design is bold, and has the momentum of a newborn calf, but there is always a gap between the ideal and the reality.
Inside the effort to run to the world of art, there is never a lack of eagerness, but eagerness can only make us farther away from the art, long wandering outside the door of the temple. Imitation is not shameful, 100% imitation is impossible, people are not machines, in the imitation of the invisible will be recreated, so, slowly, do not rush. One step at a time may seem awkward, but it is often the fastest way to get to your destination.
And music, too, is where we're lacking. Hollywood has song and dance movies, but looking at the whole of Chinese-language movies, music has never been our strong point. Chinese animation, as part of Chinese-language cinema, is naturally heavily influenced by it. In foreign animation, music is the most indispensable, from the early years of The Lion King to Frozen. But what about us? It always seems to be more than enough. This time "Malang" still did not escape this fate, still no credit, no big breakthrough, but also by no means fault...?
First of all, the musical awareness is already there, with the bridge of the group of rats square dancing. The Chinese people are a multi-talented people, and many ethnic minorities are extremely good at music and dance. However, for a long time, our movies have not reflected this aspect, and in animation, it is even more difficult to say. In any case, "Malang" is an artistic awakening in this regard. It may be forgotten, but it will never be reviled; it's not much better, but it's definitely not disgraceful.?
In summary, "Ma Liang" is a movie that doesn't ask for credit, but it doesn't ask for blame. But I'm sure that wasn't the creator's intention. I see a lot of good seeds, and I hope that the spark of that seed can start a fire. I hope that one day, that flame will turn into a bright force that will lead domestic animation and even domestic movies to find their way forward and create a better tomorrow for Chinese movies.
The overall feeling of pale and boring, the only colorful is the ramen children, the three views of positive, responsible, spoiled, ramen technology is very cool and good, this is really not the best under the sea fishing kung fu noodles sponsored by the commercials?
The morning and the family took his niece to see, less than 5 years old niece to see very happy, happy, although we do not think how good the film, but this is to take the children to see the children happy then the film is still considered a success.
As an adult, to write a few comments, it is inevitable to send some complaints.
1, Taoism, Buddhism, Confucianism, inside the idea, have the ability not to show off, Ma Liang got the magic pen, full of streets show off, heroes like in the middle of the road, on both sides of the sycophancy and greed of people; think of the Monkey King really unlucky, in the brothers and sisters in front of the show a little bit, on the Bodhi ancestor scolded to drive down the mountain;?
2. From beginning to end, Ma Liang is a colorless child, his performance is not as good as the kid pulling noodles next to him, and not as good as the little girl in the shadow puppet show with temperament and character, why did the Immortal Splash of Ink fancy Ma Liang, it can only be said that in order to make up the story to make up the story;?
3, lines in order to appear humorous, some demolition ah, house prices are too expensive ah and other topics, and the story of the ability too far-fetched;?
4, from beginning to end, and did not see Ma Liang painting any worthwhile painting, every time the big brush waved around, a large mass of paint in the air floating into a ball, something came out, which is completely vulgar to teach bad to learn to paint the children;?
5, Jinshan is a huge fortune cat, behind the Ferris wheel like rotating gears, in front of the columns rotating arms, the whole scene, think of a playground, very good, very fresh, catering to the children's appetites, Jinshan finally scattered, collapsed, sand-like fall, full of gold sands fall to where it went?
6, the whole movie everyone speaks Mandarin, why the village chief to say dialect?
7. The combination of cat and mouse seems unorthodox;?
8, the great general is too stupid, nothing much to say;?
9, Ma Liang's father saw the money tree so happy, son, you finally grew up, repeated several times, well, the director, screenwriter, your son finally grew up;?
10, just started to see the moving castle, this is not Hayao Miyazaki "Hal's Moving Castle"? I forgot to say, Ma Liang's face is too popular, this is really not "Flying House"?
11, not much to say, fortunately, the film is not long, fortunately the theater sitting and less than half.
