I believe that recently everyone's LOFTER home page and Weibo home page have been brushed by a work, right? It's this one, "Promethea", at first glance is still a little confused, what is it? Don't worry, today I will introduce you to this "Promea".
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="2" > Promea</h1>
"Promea" is an animated film directed by Yoyuki Imaishi and voiced by Shinta Furuta and Shuyuki Hiyama, released in Japan on May 24, 2019, and the production team is the trigger agency that has produced countless word-of-mouth, as an animated film, the film appeared in the animation section of the Shanghai International Film Festival in 2020 and was nominated for the Annie Award for Best Independent Animated Feature Film. On May 8, 2021, the Japanese animated film "Promea" announced the confirmation of the introduction of the mainland, and after June 5, 2021, the national release of the film began, on June 19, the fan creation label "Promea" poured into a large number of high-quality fandom creation, so far, the name of the movie "Promea" is completely out of the circle.
Unlike his reputation in the circle, this "Promea" only received 13.2 million box office in the 14 days of domestic release, from the inference of the success of the box office decision, this movie is a proper "flutter street", but don't forget, "Promea" Douban score is as high as 8 points or more, and "Promea" nominated for the 47th Animation Annie Award for Best Independent Animated Feature film is by no means a bad film! On the contrary, this film is still very picky for the audience.
Although I have long heard the name of the animated film "Promea", but due to the lack of domestic publicity, it is obvious that the "old movie" of 2019 was introduced into China in June 2021, and it is indeed a pity to see the status quo of "Promea" being applauded, this work is really for the cinema.
In addition to the experience brought by the impact of sound and painting, I believe that more people should see the classic male kiss of "Promea", cough, which has to say the problem of the script. Promethea begins with an unprecedented event that causes half the world to burn, and is born as a result of a sudden mutation that can manipulate flames. Promethea, as the name suggests, comes from Prometheus. The whole movie also revolves around the flames. In fact, the world depicted in the film is very cruel, and it can be seen from the beginning that the flames have caused great harm to the whole world and are almost impossible to bridge. However, the film creatively turns the color of the flame into a pink tone, and the use of a large number of square-like color blocks can not only express the fluidity and picture tension of the flame, but also greatly weaken the danger and irritation of the flame itself.
The plot is actually relatively simple and easy to understand. The rhythm of the plot is well grasped, interspersed with literary drama between several battles, and the love that appears between the male and female protagonists does not drag down the main melody. The degree of completion of the film is very high, covering friendship, family affection, love, etc., and introduces many new concepts, which can be said to be very complete. It is a little bit of a twist in combination with the setting.
Although the film is built in a future society, it shows many problems in the real world, such as class differentiation, excessive pressure and so on. Very sharp racial discrimination and oppression are the themes of the film, which also leads to inhumane biological experiments and tram problems. However, due to the limitations of the overall tone of the film, it is impossible to explore the theme in depth, which is something that cannot be done, and it is a pity.
Of course, for me, an old two-dimensional element who pays more attention to the picture than the plot, I personally really recommend that you go to the theater to feel this visual masterpiece. Both the picture and the music can be called enjoyment. When I watched the promotional pv, I was deeply attracted, and I came to this painting, and later I learned that the music was Hiroyuki Sawano's and looked forward to it even more. In fact, this audiovisual experience exceeded my expectations, and the impactful pictures combined with the explosive music made me exclaim a lot of times. Of course, there may be some people who do not appreciate this fantasy style of picture, here is also recommended that you first watch the propaganda pv to feel it. Some video screenshots are also released here for reference.
