Some time ago, Neptune can be regarded as a burst of the circle of friends.
Wen Ziren used a stunning lens to restore the splendor of Atlantis and reshape the glory of the Ocean Empire.
No wonder some people say that this is a "turnaround battle" of DC in live-action movies.
Having said that, the real-life Aquaman is still slightly flawed, such as the character modeling is not three-dimensional enough, the story line has some routines and so on.
Although the story is set after the movie "Justice League", the boss Steppenwolf is mentioned in a few words except for Maela.
The old man, da chao and other people did not even appear in a shadow, which made many dc fans feel a little regretful.
However, there is an animated movie that makes up for these regrets, and the real-life Aquaman complements each other's advantages, and when watched, you can feel the excitement of being in the waves.
This is dc's animated film produced in 2015 -
Compared to dc's other animated films, Atlantis is a bit of a snub.
Douban scored 6.0, the number of ratings was less than five thousand, and it was sprayed into a sieve by film critics on Rotten Tomatoes.
Why is it that Batman's movies have repeatedly set new highs, but Aquaman's movies are so wronged?
Is it because the fans don't understand things? Not.
The reason the film hits the streets is simple – it's not good enough.
This animation story is loose, the style of painting is ordinary, the contradictions are shallow, and the routines are mediocre.
But the reason why I recommend it to you today is because "Atlantis" has achieved two of the most prominent highlights: it has a worldview that combines land and sea, and it makes the image of the sea king stand up.
And these two points are the biggest regrets of the live-action version of Aquaman.
The lineup of this film can be described as luxurious.
DC Iron Triangle – Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman come together.
Popular idols The Flash, Green Lantern and Steel Bone made a strong appearance.
There is also the entourage of the magic man, Shazam.
This Shazam has never been on the live-action Version of Justice League, so let's introduce it a little bit.
His body is a middle-aged teenager with a second disease, and he is also a brain residue fan of steel bones.
Carrying a powerful magic and shouting "Shazam", you can instantly get the power of six gods and turn into a muscular macho.
However, he is still a childish ghost at heart, and Minasan, who watches this film, can feel his ubiquitous embarrassing attributes.
Strategy Master with physics output, as well as magic system assistance,
Such a combination is simply invincible.
But there are always accidents in everything, and this time the team has to face a sea full of unknowns.
The unknown itself is the greatest enemy of "invincible".
At the beginning of the film, this sense of unknown fear is like a shadow.
A submarine sank in the Mariana Trench, and in order to investigate the cause of the accident, Steel Bone dived into the deep sea, but was attacked by unknown enemies.
These species come and go, too fast to see the figures, and the impact and reaction ability are also too strong.
This made the unprepared steel bone suffer a big loss, and almost died at the bottom of the sea.
When an idol is attacked, how can Shazam sit still?
Moreover, this unknown species is likely to endanger human safety.
After meeting with The Flash and Green Lantern, the four of them discussed a great solution to the problem, that is—
Bring Batman in and show him the way.
Bring in Superman and Wonder Woman and put them in charge of the charge.
After high-tech analysis and stripping away the cocoon, everything is pointed at one person.
This man was called Arthur, the future Aquaman.
Arthur lost his mother at an early age and grew up by the sea with his father.
The salty sea breeze has created his rugged appearance, and the vast ocean has given him unique abilities.
He has gills behind his ears and can breathe freely in the water, his skin is inaccessible, and he can withstand the high pressure of the seabed.
What's more, he can also talk to all the sea creatures.
(I'm afraid I can't eat seafood in my life)
Why did the Justice League look for him? Because in Arthur, there is a message of an ancient kingdom, Atlantis.
The city that sank into the ocean in the legend has not become a ruin, but has survived with a highly developed civilization and technology.
The natives evolved into Atlanteans who could breathe freely underwater, swimming more flexibly and quickly than fish.
They built Atlantis into the most dreamy and magnificent underwater kingdom.
The ruler of Atlantis was Queen Atlana, the mother of Arthur the Sea King.
The trident she holds is both a relic of the Lord of the Seas and a powerful magical power.
Falling in love with the lighthouse keeper and giving birth to Arthur, Queen Atlana has always been friendly to humans on land.
She advocated peace with the land and opposed war and killing.
However, due to the endless exploitation and pollution of marine resources by human beings,
Atlantis suffered greatly, and many residents had deep resentment towards the land people, and hatred had been brewing.
One of the most radical factions was Queen Atlana's second son, Aum.
He believes that the land people are tyrannical and that the only way to stop their greed is through violent conquest.
Therefore, Aum advocated that Atlantis should dominate the land and dominate the sea and land by force, and become the real hegemon.
Under the constant provocation and instigation of Aum, the people's resentment towards the land grew deeper,
And Orm usurped the throne and seized the trident, designing the illusion that "the landmen killed the queen", which plunged the whole of Atlantis into crazy hatred.
Aum itself is not afraid, but the power of the trident can not be underestimated, coupled with the super water pressure in the deep sea, the Justice League on land, only Superman and Wonder Woman can enter.
Well, not to mention Superman's magic resistance attribute, or single digits...
What to do? The only way to do this is to find someone.
That's right, this man is Arthur.
As long as he defeats Orm and inherits the throne and the power of the Trident, he can eliminate the war.
Seeing this, you may have found that the character of Arthur has connected two story lines.
So what kind of person is he?
In a word, it is summed up: two meters and eight meters on the outside, and a flower on the inside.
As soon as he appeared on the scene, Arthur showed all the qualities of a macho man.
Bars, dim lights, lonely men, knotted muscles, and...
A Boston lobster chatting with him.
For a lobster that was about to be cooked, Arthur singled out a group of strong men and even performed the stunt of a broken dagger with abs in public.
Grabbing a lobster in his left hand and beating people up with his right hand, this picture is simply not too wild.
However, when the seemingly wild and unruly freedom-loving macho man returns home, the film gives Arthur a detailed close-up.
Faced with the empty room after his father's death, he habitually shouted, "I'm back." ”
Then he suddenly remembered that his father was no longer there, and his expression instantly dimmed.
Even if he is as brave as a tiger, Arthur's heart is actually quite delicate.
When Maela invited him to meet his mother, Arthur's first reaction was not to be surprised and happy.
Instead, after a brief silence, a question was asked:
"I've lived here for so long, and now you're telling me, I'm not human?"
This reaction has hesitation, doubt, analysis, and also represents that the heart of this steely man has actually become a mess.
Why create such a tough-looking and delicate Sea King?
So why not let him "slam to the end"?
Because only those who are delicate enough to perceive the joys and sorrows of others can complete the mission of Aquaman.
Aquaman is a bond, he is of human and Atlantis blood, he is accepted by both sides, but also rejected by both sides.
The love and hate, desire and pain of land and sea, depend on his bridge to communicate and empathize.
Only with strong combat strength and delicate heart, Arthur can realize his mother's last wish -
Sea and land, truly understand each other and coexist peacefully.
And this iron man's tender personality traits also give Neptune a more three-dimensional image and a more charming charm.
In fact, whether it is Atlantis or the land people, all the graces and grievances are due to one thing in the final analysis-
Don't understand
Just as countries and countries, circles and circles, people and people, estrangement is everywhere, as close as a thousand miles away.
However, when someone really breaks down the barrier and transforms into a bridge that runs through the hearts of both parties,
Maybe people will find out, ah, that they are not neurotics.
Therefore, the reason why the throne of Atlantis is noble and eternal is not because of the unity of the world,
It's because of the guy sitting on it, he understands you.
