The other day I went to the cinema to see Naruto Theater Edition: Hirohito. I thought that after being released for such a long time, I could use a movie ticket to charter the show, but I didn't expect that there were still many people watching this theatrical version. As the only theatrical version of the Naruto series to be released in Chinese mainland theaters, this theatrical version can be described in two words - that is wonderful. Overall, it is a theatrical version that is wonderful in every way.
First, the main line of "Bo Ren Biography"
Anyone who has seen the introduction to this theatrical version knows that the main story revolves around a new generation of ninjas who have grown up through trials and difficulties and defeated new enemies with their parents. In fact, it is simple to say that naruto Uzumaki's son, Hirohito Uzumaki, grew up. You may feel that this main line is no different from other similar movies, but it is nothing more than "growth" as the main line. It is true that this is a theatrical version with "growth" as the main line, but this main line is composed of bright lines and dark lines.
Of course, the bright line is the growth of Bo Ren from not knowing his father to finally understanding his father, from a wayward teenager to a sensible teenager. The dark line is Naruto's growth - from a man who doesn't know how to balance career and family to a man with a career and a family, isn't this a kind of growth?
As Sasuke said to Hiroto, "He used to be full of flaws, but he became Naruto on his own." What you have to know is not Naruto now, but The growing Naruto. "Yeah, this "Hirohito Biography" is not only the growth of Hirohito, but also the growth of Naruto. Of course, in addition to the growth of the two of them, there are other partners, such as the growth of Zoranna, the growth of March, the growth of Whirlpool Sunflower (birthday is also growth)... It can be said that this is a theatrical version that everyone is growing.
Second, the sub-line of "Bo Ren Biography"
In addition to a good main line, a wonderful movie must also have a good side line, and the side line of "Bo Ren Biography" is equally wonderful. The best part of this is Naruto's friendship with Sasuke( Ki-sen)! From making bets on mutual cooperation at work and working together to defeat the enemy together, it can be said that in the theatrical version of the big show friendship (base feelings) ah! (In particular, the children of both sides are aimed at each other, Hiroto wants to be someone who sticks to his ninja path like Sasuke, and Saorina wants to become Naruto like Naruto.) Moreover, Hiroto also worships Sasuke as his master. ）
Of course, in addition to the friendship between the two of them, there is also the friendship of the new generation of ninjas, especially the friendship of Hiroto, Zorana, and March (the new trio). In addition to friendship, there are other side lines. For example, the collision of tradition and technology – scientists have developed new props and Naruto and others have adhered to traditional ninja paths;
How to deal with cheating - such as Naruto's approach and attitude towards his cheating son; the understanding and support of The two wives of Haruno Sakura and Hinata for their husbands who have been absent from home for many years; Hiroto's protection of his family, his love for his sister (with a tendency to control sisters); Soryana's understanding of his mother; Naruto's protection of the village; Sasuke's wordless love for his daughter Sorena... It can be said that it is precisely because there are so many side lines that make the plot of this theatrical version more complete.
Third, the plot portrayal of "The Biography of Bo Ren"
If the main line and side line of "Bo Ren Biography" make the plot complete, then the plot portrayal in "Bo Ren Biography" makes the main line and the side line perfectly connected, making the plot vivid and moving.
Bo Ren's growth is portrayed from many different plots. For example, two pieces of clothing: one is Naruto's old clothes, although it only appears twice in front of Hirohito, but the different attitudes towards this old dress twice show his growth - from the initial abandonment to the final wear. The other was Hiroto's dress, which Naruto and Sasuke described as clean, and Hiroto always subconsciously knocked off the dust off his clothes until he was torn to the point where he was still willing to wear them (said to be a memorial to the time when he fought with his father. ）。 These two clothes seem ordinary, but they are vivid because of the contrast between the front and back.
Naruto's growth is also vividly portrayed through the plot, from using shadows to celebrate his daughter's birthday, to sending emails to congratulate his son on a successful exam, to going home to congratulate his son on passing the exam, and finally going out with his son... Although there are only four short acts, it still makes people feel the change of a father.
There are photographs in each different place to express nostalgia for the past. With a different smile of Bo ren, he shows his love for his family and his sister. The beginning of the theatrical version is the plot of the new trio catching bears together and the plot of the theater version finally catching the bear again form a back-and-forth echo (it seems that both Hiro and Zorana are talking, March is a peacemaker), in order to see the growth of the three, but also lead to the identity of March (in the last Three months of the theater version, the identity feels like it is to be unfinished!). ）。 Zorana's slight dissatisfaction with her father is manifested in language and insistence on choosing different answers when facing problems...
It can be said that the successful plot portrayal of this theatrical version occupies a large proportion - it is not a simple and straightforward description of the character, but through contrast, echo, detail, dialogue and other different ways to show the character's personality, character attitude, character changes... It is precisely because of this vivid plot portrayal that the characters have flesh and blood, and also make the main line and the side line perfectly displayed.
Fourth, the memories and inheritance of "Bo Ren Biography"
Since it is the theatrical version of Naruto and belongs to the Naruto series, it is definitely the memories of Naruto that will definitely attract Naruto's fans. But I think the memories that this theatrical version evokes are not just memories of Naruto, but more memories of our youth. Naruto has been with us for sixteen years, and we've watched Naruto go from teenager to youth, from an ignorant teenager to a young man with a family and a career. It can be said that Naruto is growing up, and we are also growing up – we have gone from being a school teenager to a young person who has entered society now. It can be said that the appearance of Hirohito not only represents the end of Naruto's boyhood, but also represents the end of our boyhood.
However, the appearance of bo people is not only the end of one era, but also the advent of another era, the advent of a juvenile age that belongs to them. Just like those parents who take their children to see them or who are about to become parents, our adolescence is over, and the boyhood of children is coming.
With the advent of their youth, there is a problem of inheritance. It can be said that the theatrical version shows the inheritance very well. In the theatrical version, each child has the shadow of his parents, the inheritance of looks, the inheritance of interested personality, and the inheritance of his parents' abilities, just as Hirohito will spiral pills; the art of shadow splitting; Soryana can write wheel eyes, cherry blossom punches; Nara Shikadai will shadow the art of true similarity... Not only that, but also out of the blue - for example, boren's spiral pill can be invisible... It can be said that these children inherit everything that their parents are excellent and better than their parents before the advent of their adolescence. Just like when we enter the youth, we hope that the future children will inherit everything that is excellent and better than themselves.
At the end of the song, there are many different families on the screen, which represents the end of an era and the beginning of an era. It can be said that "Bo Ren Biography" shows memories and inheritance, past and future, beginning and end very well.
I've seen a lot of ratings of "Hirohito" online, most of them rated it as four to five stars, and there are reports that the film is rated higher than other blockbusters in the same period, which is the highest-rated movie since entering the Monkey Year. Of course, some of them complained that women were too little depicted, some complained that the appearance of the characters had been reduced; some people complained that the memories were killed too much; some people complained that the end of the inheritance was not described enough... It is undeniable that "Bo Ren Biography" does have shortcomings, but it is undeniable that "Bo Ren Biography" is still wonderful and successful.
I have seen some reviews that it may be the best animated film that can be seen in China; some comments say that this is a theatrical version that can be turned to powder by passers-by; and when I went to see it, when the end production list came out, the movie theater had turned on, but there was no one in the audience leaving, everyone saw the easter egg end, and even the easter eggs were played and everyone was still sitting there thinking that there was no end. So it can be seen that this is actually a very wonderful and successful theatrical version.
The success of "Bo Ren Biography" first comes from the memory, from the memory of an era, and then its success comes from the vivid portrayal of everyone's growth as the main line, with emotions, technology, etc. as the side line of the plot, and finally its success comes from the inheritance of announcing the end of an era and the beginning of an era. This is the reason for the success of "Bo Ren Biography".
