Fantasy lovers, are childlike and cute.
Naturally believes in love and justice, love & peace.
And there's a fantasy series.
Three points of childlike fun, two points of wonder. There is not only the guarantee of big IP adaptation, but also the escort of excellent teams.
As a fantasy fan, Ah Kan must recommend this drama to everyone.
This is the Dark Matter trilogy.
Big IP
The play is based on the Dark Matter trilogy by British writer Philip Pullman.
The trilogy is "Golden Compass", "Magic Sharpshooter" and "Amber Telescope".
At present, the series adapted from the first two parts of the novel has been launched, and the third season is still in production (no loss in the pit, come on).
In britain, "Dark Matter" is a well-known masterpiece, one of the pinnacles of children's fantasy literature.
The author himself has been hailed as "the best Anglo-Saxon fantasy novelist after Tolkien (author of The Lord of the Rings)".
With that said, his trilogy has won the Carnegie Prize for Children's Literature, the Guardian Prize for Children's Fiction, and the Whitburyd Prize for Literature.
In a BBC readers' poll in 2003, the series was ranked third on the Reader's Favourites list.
The top two are Lord of the Rings and Pride and Prejudice.
Big IP adaptation, the configuration is naturally also top-notch.
Tom Hopper, the Oscar-winning director who directed "The King's Speech" and "The Danish Girl", personally competed;
"Little Wolf Girl" Daphne Keane, "One Beauty" James McAvoy, "Mrs. Wilson" Ruth Wilson starred.
Co-produced by HBO in the United States and BBC in the United Kingdom, the play is well-written and sincere.
For example, the special effects team made more than 1,500 creatures in CG for the show alone, and there were as many as 2,000 special effects shots.
The work is huge and the arrogance is tight.
This is because the original worldview setting is complex and it is not easy to be visualized.
In this world, human souls appear in the form of animal entities called "Dæmons".
Humans and elves are one and the same and absolutely sacred.
Elves will talk to you, have a name and personality, and the physical distance cannot be too far away from you, and the distance will make both parties feel painful.
In childhood, elves can be arbitrarily deformed, and they will not settle into form until adulthood.
More critically, when you die, the elves will also die. Vice versa.
The main character of the play is Lyra, a 12-year-old girl.
Her elf Pan is usually a white, fat little ferret, and the first episode alone shows multiple forms such as becoming a kitten and changing into a bird.
"Ichimi" plays Lyra's uncle Asriel, whose elf is a mighty snow leopard.
Mrs. Coulter, who is both a villain and a mother, is an ultra-fierce golden monkey.
When repairing the little girl Lyra, she didn't have to do it herself. The elves fought each other, and as soon as they were suppressed, Lyra followed in pain.
The story begins at Jordan College in Oxford.
Of course, this Oxford is not An oxford, it is an alternate parallel world, steampunk style mixed with modern style, while at the same time having medieval church rule.
Lyra was a "prophesied" child who was sent to Oxford during the Flood and grew up to the age of 12, like a "wild child".
As soon as he appeared, he and his friend Roger ran around Oxford with the elves, stepping on the roof, through the kitchen, across the statues, and free to pull the wind.
Such a day ended with the arrival of my uncle.
The Great Spectacle
The world of Dark Matter is a multicolored visual kaleidoscope.
And the key to opening the kaleidoscope comes from a new discovery brought by uncle Asriel, a mysterious substance, Dust.
Since then, Lyra's life has been completely changed.
She learns about the "City in the Sky" that her uncle found in the Arctic, and learns that the world they live in may not be the only one.
She also became acquainted with the elegant and warm lady, Mrs. Coulter, and followed her out of the academy to see the outside world.
It was also because her best friend Roger was missing, followed by a dozen gypsy children.
This doomed her to the frozen north, to break the clique conspiracy and save the children.
Elves, witches, giant bears, dust, magic, and gypsies.
Strange and mixed elements, the girl's adventure begins.
Open this show, the whole worldview is amazing.
It is home to both the majestic control of the medieval papacy and the large urban complexes of the post-Industrial Revolution.
There are typicalLy English architectural and aesthetic styles, as well as steam-era Zeppelin airships flying overhead.
Above the clouds in the sky, there is a flying hot air balloon that shuttles through the sea of clouds;
Between the upper streams of the earth, are the ships of the Gypsies.
A large number of live-action shots ensure the perfect realization of the grand imagination of the original work.
Jordan College, for example, was filmed from New College, Oxford University. It is also the filming location for Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.
The museum where Mrs. Coulter took Lyra was filmed from the Temple of Peace in Cardiff.
Every scene is carefully depicted, and every detail is carefully polished.
The crew's intentions can be seen.
And this is the fantasy world of the current first season.
After all, it also has an important setting called Parallel Worlds.
The parallel worldview was only slightly foreshadowed in the first season, such as the overlapping of multiple layers of worlds at the beginning of the film, such as the sneaking of church characters from the "window".
But the specific development will be put into the second season of the content.
Big energy
"This book redefines children's literature and changes the way people look at children's books and think about it."
The Carnegie Prize for Children's Literature, as the "Oscar" of the world's children's literature world, said this when awarding the original work.
This is because although "Dark Matter" is a children's adventure story, in addition to childlike fun, it is also integrated into the author's own deep thinking.
For example, in the adult world war, children have to pay a price.
Asriel discovers dark matter dust that can be used to travel through parallel worlds.
Dust is a particle that only affects adults and children.
The church then used the name of dust to create several cases of missing children.
The purpose is to ensure that children are not "polluted" by dust and degenerate into evil people when they reach adulthood.
But the church has already sent people to study and infiltrate parallel worlds.
The church in the story is evident in its moral appearance and dark corruption.
And even those who seem to be illuminated by the right path as soon as they appear, such as Asriel or Mrs. Coulter, are not entirely positive.
Asriel occasionally appears as an uncle, but for a long time he ignores Lyra and devotes himself to the study of dust.
Mrs. Coulter's approach to Lyra is even more purposeful, and she does not agree with each other and even uses violence. Also assumed the villain image of the first season.
Adults are either indifferent to their children or extremely controlling. The rest is a struggle for power, a control of desire.
Children, in their view, can be used as weapons.
Only Lyra, she should not be blinded by the dogma of "ignorance and security".
She should not be disguised as a ceremonial system discipline.
Just like that setting: children's spirits can change their form at will. Almost adulthood has metaphors of infinite possibilities.
Therefore, not succumbing to the adult world, to bravely take risks and resist, has become the most moving point of this story.
Integrity, bravery, kindness, youth and love.
This is a story about children who also have great energy in them.
