The same is the dark adult to the animated film, the "Great Protector" directed by Si Fan has an excellent reputation, and everyone amway. However, the reputation of the sister story "Mr. Wonderful", adapted from his short story, is far inferior to the former, just because Zhu Yu is in front, so the higher the expectation, the greater the disappointment?
"Mr. Wonderful" is not as bloody as "The Great Protector", which is full of various violent aesthetics, but its profound exploration of the good and evil of the world still makes it unsuitable for children to understand. As always, the fantasy world, strange and strange, the painting style is beautiful, should continue to write the myth of the dark country, but did not expect to be tragically waterloo.
<h1>From the point of view of intention, the narrative of "Mr. Wonderful" is undoubtedly profound. </h1>
"Kill the good guys, save the bad guys", such a cruel setting, supports the whole drama, just like the famous "tram problem", whether to choose to sacrifice the minority to save the majority.
This moral dilemma is insoluble, and the solution given by "Mr. Wonderful" does not bring surprises in the end, or allows the protagonist to make a personal sacrifice to complete the world.
Like most hot-blooded teenage comics and superhero stories, the world is on the verge of destruction again, but there will eventually be a hero who is destined to turn the tide and save the world without suspense.
It's just a pity that human beings are forgetful, and next time, they will continue to repeat the same mistakes. This cycle of tragedy makes people sentimental and warns people to reflect on themselves, but that's all, there is no solution to this problem.
<h1>The overall narrative is slightly hasty and slightly more preachy. </h1>
The whole story is full of contradictions and conflicts, implementing the black and cruel 13 forbidden adult themes, but due to too much content and insufficient emotional rendering.
Xiaowen sacrificed himself because of filial piety, but his adoptive father's greed wasted his sacrifice. Eating a bunch of wishes made by the other side of the flower, but turned into a duck enslaved by others.
Xiao Du seems to be gambling money, stealing, hanging Er Lang Dang, is a veritable little, but he is dedicated to the orphans in the village. He is the one who broke free from the shackles and walked out of the 3rd way, but finally sacrificed himself in front of the righteousness.
Yun Xiang once had such a beautiful past with her husband, but things are not human, she was eventually sold by her gambler husband, and her desperate blackening caused the other side of the flower to spread, and finally committed suicide.
3 people with golden flowers, 3 small stories, each of which has a connotation worth exploring, but it is squeezed into this movie that is only 1 and a half hours. Condensation is not necessarily the essence, and the forced and rapid advancement of the plot makes the movie feel a little bad.
Life and death, good and evil, this is an eternal topic of discussion, how to integrate the philosophical narrative into the storyline without appearing to be preachy, which requires a strong foundation of screenwriting. In "Mr. Miao", Ding Guo continues to preach the meaning of the line throughout, which is insufficient.
<h1>The care of details and metaphors may not allow the audience to see through and digest it. </h1>
After all, it is not an animated film for young children, "Mr. Wonderful" spends a lot of effort to portray details, but it may not be discovered by the audience.
Xiao Wen's sigh, Yun Xiang's Suzhou commentary, the noble Yu Hou's chimes, the Chinese drum of the Great War... These attentive soundtracks are only a flash in the ears of non-professionals.
The arid Kunwu Village, the paradise-like Yanluo Avenue, and the Yuwu Town of Jiangnan Water Town, each with its own unique customs and customs, are just a background board for the clouds.
The "belly sticker" posted by Yun Xiang when changing clothes is actually a contraceptive home remedy specially used because of a special occupation, and there is also a contraceptive "persimmon ti" by the window, how many viewers can see the meaning?
The male protagonist Ding Guo and the female protagonist Yin Feng, the names of the two symbolize the cycle of cause and effect. I also want to solve the problem of flowers on the other side, but I use a different way. A doctor who insists that "no one can take the lives of others, unless voluntarily" and puts the choice in the hands of the person concerned, a doctor who can kill the free clinic mercilessly, advocating sacrificing the minority to save the majority.
There are also more resolute duck chasers, who espouse the most typical belief in the rebirth of the world. Behind their respective behavioral countermeasures are the exchange and collision of different ideas, which are essentially harmonious and different salvation concepts.
The symbiotic relationship between the fire cicada, the ice jade, and the other side of the flower is the core of this story, and the imbalance between the three is the root cause of the tragedy of the world falling into a vicious circle. The aristocratic class's demand for the enjoyment of the useless thing ice jade has attracted the low-level people to live their lives to pick it, and in order to treat the bitter cold disease of picking ice jade, the price of fire cicadas has risen. Without the fire cicadas devouring the spores of the flowers on the other side, the flowers on the other side flooded wildly, causing great chaos in the world.
The most intuitive case of ecological imbalance is no different from reality, the traditional Chinese trick of dotting jade is to make kingfisher feathers into gold and silver jewelry, beautiful and cruel. Merchants' acquisition of feathers could wipe out an island's birds.
"Mr. Miao" who lives forever in the words, all kinds of mysterious and mysterious settings, in the end, just want to tell us: some things are more important than life and death, sacrifice should not be forgotten, and kindness should not be disappointed. This is also the theme that the whole movie wants to express the most.
Even if human beings will eventually repeat the same mistakes and fall into reincarnation, the other side of the flower will reappear, Ding Guo's sacrifice can never be in vain, and human beings will eventually grow in the cycle of these tragedies.
Overall, this is a film worth brushing up on, and the details need to be carefully savored. The movie-watching experience may not be as good as "The Great Protector", and it is a national comic masterpiece worth supporting after all.
