The Spring Festival stalls of the mainland film market have always been the world of Chinese blockbusters, and this year is no exception. So when the foreign cartoon "The Great Felicia" was released on the fifth day of the Chinese New Year, it didn't attract much attention... But in fact, it is actually one of the most worthwhile movies to watch in this year's Spring Festival file, and it is really suitable for family fun!
The Marvelous Felicity is a French-Canadian animation film. It tells the story of Felicity, a little girl who grew up in an orphanage and has always hoped to become a ballet dancer, in order to realize this dream, she and her little friend Victor escaped from the orphanage and went to Paris, where she experienced an exciting and magnificent adventure story.
The story is not complicated, and the picture is dreamy and beautiful, the rhythm is romantic and joyful, the theme is inspirational, such a movie children generally love to watch, especially the bridge section where they learn to dance ballet, it is estimated that the pink girl's heart of the little girls will jump and accelerate.
For young and adult audiences, the shaping of characters and the trajectory of their fate are often more concerned. In "The Great Felicity", you will find a little careful that the image and behavior of the characters are portrayed in detail, vivid and lively, even the freckles and small black moles on the face of the heroine Felice and the broken eyebrows of the male protagonist Victor are prominently presented in the facial close-up, but it is precisely these behind-the-scenes creative teams that deliberately create facial flaws on the protagonist that make the two people look very close to each other, coupled with their sunny, energetic youthful smiles and lively, exaggerated and funny body language. People's heart-wrenching affection for the two doubled, so they paid more and more attention to their subsequent encounters in Paris.
If it comes to the biggest highlight of the film, it is the romantic temperament of the film throughout. This is not only reflected in the magnificent Palazzo Garnier, the Jena Bridge lying across the Seine, the unfinished Eiffel Tower and the Statue of Liberty, which are famous buildings, above and below, but also in some action sections. For example, Victor holds Felicity and drives the aircraft twice at high altitude, which is both exciting and novel and interesting, and the dance section in the film is even more dreamlike and pleasing to the eye, of which Felice dances with music in the bar and her dance PK battle with the rich lady Camille is the most impressive. The former combines classical and modern dance elements such as ballet and tap dance, and dances casually, full of passion and joy, and has a strong appeal; the latter is a competition of two young girls' ballet skills, the two jump from the stage to the stage, from the stairwell to the hall, a variety of beautiful ballet dance postures are fully displayed, especially Felicity's last difficult jump, whether it is posture or camera angle, it is perfect and stunning, and the romance and elegance of ballet are displayed to the extreme.
However, the most touching thing about the film is the theme of the film: the love and persistence of dreams. In fact, this theme for animation, can be regarded as a cliché, and the special thing about "The Great Felicity" is that it is through the ballet elements to package and enrich the dream journey of an ordinary little orphan girl to present this theme - you know, ballet has always been a high art, and the heroine of the film Felicity is a low-level orphan girl with no money and no background, and the huge disparity between the two makes this almost impossible dream journey look very full. And Felicity encountered in the process of chasing dreams, such as the strict requirements of the dance teacher, the repeated provocations of the rich Lady Camille, the vicious and cold-blooded Mother of Camille like Cinderella's mother, and even hunted down and killed, which also made the plot of the film more plump and interesting, wonderful and exciting.
All in all, at the beginning of the new year, Vientiane is renewed. Whether it is a child or an adult, we all want to try our best to achieve our dreams. And "The Great Felicity" is like a steaming delicious French chicken soup, really warm and heart-warming, suitable for a family to taste together.
