01. Spicy eyes will only be late, but never less
On September 11, 2021, I was not happy, really super unhappy. This is not only the 20th anniversary event of the screen hot search, this topic will awaken the fear of small partners in that year---
But there's another thing that makes me feel incredibly depressed on this day, and it involves a movie, a blockbuster of the year from Disney.
In the past, "Disney productions are all fine" is the consensus of movie fans, but since the movie that ran on the hot search was officially announced two years ago, people have no longer admired and marveled at Disney, on the contrary, some are just hot eyes---
"The Little Mermaid Live-Action Movie Finale"
In just over a day, by September 12, it has accumulated 130 million views, and the reason why it has attracted attention in addition to the classics of the original animation itself is that the female protagonist is Harley Bailey, who is a famous black singer, and her appearance is indeed very similar to fish---
Is Halley Bailey good looking? I believe that 8 out of 10 people will unanimously deny it, and the remaining two people will only give the criticism of "you look okay, but Ariel is really not suitable for you" out of respect for others.
And in fact, we can really feel the charm of Halley Bailey from some photos of her attendance at a high-end banquet?
But once we get back to the everyday, or look at it from a different perspective, we see the more banal (or really ugly) side of this Hollywood woman---
It can be said that since the casting was determined in 19 years, the live-action version of "The Little Mermaid" has become the target of political correctness in European and American movies, and has also been teased by countless netizens with various fancy remarks. Such as black catfish, scavengers and so on.
On September 11th, I saw God's comment in the comment area: "Are you sure you exchange sound for legs?" And not skin tone? Anyone who has seen the original book knows that Princess Ariel exchanged human legs with a witch with her beautiful voice in order to be close to the human prince, and has since been involved in an adventure full of intrigue and love---
However, ridicule is ridicule, these are just because fans do not get a response to criticism and make emotional catharsis, that is to say, the stronger the feedback of public opinion, the more it represents Disney's process of pushing the hot eye to a new height.
For example, the use of black heroines has insisted on methodical filming on European islands even when the epidemic has been affected, and now the official announcement is set for May 2023.
Up to now, we can only sigh one sentence: hot eyes will only be late, but it will never be less!
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="36" >02</h1>
The casting of "The Little Mermaid" is indeed exciting enough, but this film is only a marker of the collective slide of Western film and television works into political correctness, and it can even be said that since then, film and television creators have finally dared to let go of their arms and thus seen a series of jaw-dropping things.
For example, the Marvel Universe officially announced that the next Iron Man will be played by the Heart of Steel, and this person is the black little sister in the original work, and in reality, the black actor Dominic Thorne is also chosen as the ---
Not only that, marvel even officially announced the launch of a new comic book plan for LGBT Captain America at an earlier time, and the drunken meaning of this move is even more significant---
As for Marvel's nemesis DC, they arranged the black superman movie plan, although the official announcement is to launch a new story in a parallel universe, but this idea must also be to flatter the black community---
There is also a candidate for the new Snow White, and on June 23, the casting of the new Disney Princess was also identified as the mixed-race Rachel Zegler. Although she is not strictly black, her dark skin has not been teased by fans as another interpretation of political correctness---
But even more outrageous is Sony, who recently officially announced the casting of the live-action version of "Cinderella", and actually let Camilla Cabello, who has the same dark skin, play Cinderella. This naturally attracted a lot of criticism, but the biggest groove point about this new "Cinderella" work still belongs to the godmother, who was amiable in the original animation, and was actually replaced by a black actor, and when this guy showed his face, he really didn't scare the audience in front of the screen---
It can be seen that "The Little Mermaid" is only the beginning, or even the turning point, of the fall of Hollywood movies, and if this movie can still achieve great box office results after its release, it will naturally make more Western film and television companies pile up into the category of political correctness, and bring us a black image of the screen, and even make the full reunion black is not impossible---
This is the difference between China and the West in the aesthetic concept of film, and furthermore, the big screen in Hollywood is no longer a pure temple of artistic creation, and the so-called art has long become a vassal of politics, or a tool for businessmen to accumulate wealth.
So how is that good?
Seriously, as long as foreign audiences continue to favor this aesthetic, there will be no change in the day, and the only thing that domestic film fans can do is to vent their anger on the Internet with a keyboard. But if we look at it for a long time, the breaking point of the problem lies in the development of Chinese films.
Only domestic films can shine on the international stage, then maybe we still can't change the aesthetics of Westerners, but at least we can also make Chinese culture occupy a place on the mainstream stage---
Then there will be no need to quarrel, and the parties can play with each other.
