March is the carnival month of Japanese animation, following the release of the theatrical version of "Natsume Friends' Account" and the theatrical version of "Demon God Z", the first theatrical version of "My Hero Academy" is also scheduled for March 15, bringing a different bloody legend to Chinese audiences.
Japan is a traditional anime powerhouse, and after the end of the classic anime Naruto, My Hero Academia quickly replaced the former and became the new spokesperson for the hot-blooded anime.
The drama is set in the future period, telling the story of when most people have superpowers, a powerless young man Midoriya Ikuhisa through his own efforts, in the strong as the cloud of the academy, step by step forward and finally get the recognition of the people around them.
This time, the theatrical version of the story is set in the mobile scientific research city "My Island", in addition to the main characters of the anime version all appeared, a new character "Melissa" was added, so that she accompanied the Green Valleys on an adventure as the heroine, and played an important role at a critical time.
The first half of the film is mainly to introduce the world view and introduce the characters, because of the large number of characters involved, the amount of information is huge, which very tests the discernment and memory ability of ordinary audiences. In this not long time, the film shows the unique personality and strengths of the little heroes of the academy as much as possible, and the bridge section is warm and funny. Cut island and burst hao, boom jiaojing as soon as they appeared on the scene to catch people's attention, the three people's hot competition instantly let the audience into the atmosphere of the film, and when the girls used guessing boxing to decide who to go to the dinner, Ye Yin took the sign to guess boxing, becoming the biggest laugh in the whole film. In fact, the series's setting of character abilities is very similar to Marvel's X-Men series, the fire system of the explosive hao, the hardening of the island, the half-burning half-ice of the scorched frozen, and the tailwind ear of the ear lang, these similar skills can be found in the X-Men, and the advantage is that it is easier to be distinguished and remembered by the audience.
After a brief foreshadowing and warm-up, the film quickly got to the point. In this heavily guarded "My Island", no one would have expected that a large-scale terrorist attack would suddenly break out, and what was even more surprising was that the terrorists not only took all the ordinary residents of the island hostage, but also knocked down all the adult heroes on the island, and the reason why they were so aggressive was to find the "personality enhancer" invented by Dr. David. The biggest role of this equipment is to significantly enhance the user's "personality" and greatly improve the combat ability. In order to save the hostages and defeat the powerful enemy, the Green Valley boy and his friends embarked on an adventure without hesitation, and just when the truth was about to be revealed, the more terrible enemy hidden behind the surface surfaced, and everyone knew that this was a complete conspiracy, and all the parties involved were deceived.
The biggest advantage of the film is the vivid display of skills, highlighting the combat ability of different characters in different scenes, and several scenes also adopt the mode of multi-person unity and cooperation, so that the film is no longer a simple individual heroism, but pays more attention to the positioning and role of individuals in collective combat. The collocation of personnel, the grasp of time, and the grasp of proportions are all appropriate benefits, and the skill special effects show a completely different effect from live-action films under the blessing of animation, and even more imaginative and impactful than live-action films.
The film's doctor's motivation is mainly to rescue Olmet's personality drying up problem, unfortunately it backfires, good intentions do bad things, but this also contributes to the final climactic battle, in the face of the personality of the enhanced manipulative metal villain, even the NO1 hero Olmet is helpless. In a critical moment, Green Valley joined hands with the master for the first time, and the two heroes fought side by side, making the final battle full of strong ancient Greek tragedy. At the climax of the film, the silhouettes of the two main characters overlap, which also confirms that Green Valley is the officially recognized successor of Olmet. This inheritance is the greatest significance that this battle brings to the Hero Academy, the traditional heroes will eventually grow old, this is a natural law that no one can stop, but fortunately, behind them, a new generation of young people have grown up, and one day, this group of young people will take over the banner of kuang fu justice and follow the footsteps of their predecessors to walk out of a path of success of their own.
The core of the film is to explore that the hero's contribution does not depend on the size of the ability, and that having a strong and righteous heart can become an indestructible force. The protagonist Midoritani does not have any personality ability, but relies on his own efforts to gain a foothold in this talented academy and grows rapidly. Many times, talent is important, which saves them a lot of time in the process of growing up, but ordinary people are not completely without opportunities, the key to the problem is whether you dare to think, dare to do, and whether you have the courage and determination to go forward after determining the goal. Midori valley went from unskilled to understanding One for all because he has a sponge-like personality, even if he is not capable of itself, he can fully absorb the strengths of others and transform them into his own advantages in the process of learning, while the essence of One for all is a mixture of the two personalities of "being able to store strength" and "giving to others", relying on this spirit of dedication and sacrifice.
In general, there are too many bugs in the plot of this film, the protagonist's aura is too obvious, no matter how powerful the enemy is, it is always able to defeat the opponent with the timely explosive force. However, this kind of simplicity and directness is not the essence of bloody animation, and for cartoons that focus on combat, plot is not the most important criterion at all, nor is it the key point of success. A qualified hot-blooded animation must have its own clear theme and emotional appeal, "My Hero Academia" can quickly penetrate the hearts of the people, precisely because he firmly grasps the young people's worship of heroes and the desire for an adventurous life. The so-called hero is to help those who are in trouble, to help the strong and the weak, for young people, with such heroic dreams, at least they will not feel lonely.
