After 38 years, "Heavenly Book" debuted on the big screen. Yes, it is the one that many post-70s and post-80s children watched.
When I watched this movie, it was still on black-and-white TV. I thought it was remade before, but I was afraid that my childhood memories would be ruined by various strange "innovations" and I didn't want to watch it. But seeing that many people in the circle of friends are sending "grandpa back", the evaluation is good, saying that it is still that taste, so I spent more than twenty yuan on the idea, risked the risk of turning green code yellow, and went to the cinema to relive it.
4K restoration technology is really a good thing, so that the images of decades ago are more vividly presented in front of our eyes - such as the dreamlike landscape background, exaggerated and humorous character modeling, as well as the stage music and special effects that are in line with "Huluwa", and the familiar and intimate voices of Voice Actors such as Ding Jianhua and Bike reproduce the highest level of domestic animation films of that year.
"The world is like being washed again!" My father's exclamation after the cataract surgery erupted in my head. This movie currently has a cat's eye rating of 9.1, which must be played by a group of people like us.
Perhaps it can be said that "Tianshu Qitan" is not the best animation I have ever seen, in the years before or after, I have watched the domestic "Haunting Heavenly Palace", "Which Noisy Sea", and watched the foreign "Spirited Away" and "Castle in the Sky". It is the recent "Violet Eternal Garden", or the recent "League of Legends • Battle of two cities", which is more beautiful and shocking than it.
But it doesn't matter because we're nostalgic, not because of how good it was then, but because we were young then.
Because of this feeling, in recent years, I have watched a lot of 4k restored movies: "They are no longer old", "The Eternal Wave", "Heroes and Children", etc., all of which have made me regain the memory of watching these movies. The black-and-white images that you saw on the tanning field or on black-and-white television sets as a child are now in color, more vivid and more shocking.
At this point, I actually remembered a passage without being rude: Many years ago, the classmates discussed the TV series "Journey to the West" together, saying that the Robes of the Tang Monk were black, and only one classmate said it was red, and as a result, everyone beat him up. It wasn't until this classmate took everyone home to see it that he knew that there was a thing in the world called color TV.
Although I have never made such a joke, I still have regrets in my heart. For example, I would like to know, what color is the ragdoll hanging on the eaves of a break? Is the Az cat blue or black? What kind of light does the flower fairy flash every time she makes a contribution? These are the regrets brought to us by black-and-white televisions. Some of these regrets are made up by watching the 4k restored version, and some become forever because they no longer have the time or mood to see.
Over the past few decades, we have witnessed humanity's technological leaps and bounds. More and more old films and memories will continue to appear in front of us. And the only thing I worry about is that we no longer have the mood and the desire to miss it.
Fortunately, a classic is a classic, with the power to transcend time. In addition to a wave of memory killing, young parents may wish to take their children and walk into the theater together, "look at the cartoons that your parents were fans of that year", which should also be a different parent-child experience!
