"Maleficent 2" is a movie of Disney's creation of a dream kingdom,
meets soldiers but loves and peace.
Is it just that it can atone for female characters?
01
In fact, "Slumbering Curse" shot by Disney is the beginning of atonement for female characters.
"Sleeping Curse" brings out the super villain "Marlene Fissen" (played by Angelina Jolie) in the classic animation "Sleeping Beauty" as the protagonist, giving this character a chance to rehabilitate and subvert the bad guys With the image of good people.
only had fairy tales as the background for the first episode of Maleficent, so that Disney had the opportunity to develop "Marlene Fissen". Whether
's new original version of Maleficent 2 can have the same delicate performance as the first episode,
has become the focus of fans' attention.
Disney spends a lot of time in presenting the life of Princess Arlo (Elle Fanning) after becoming the Queen of the Demon Realm. The beautiful scenes make the girl's heart dance.
The seemingly evil decent good guy vs. the seemingly decent evil queen is more exciting. The bright colors and special effects make the movie full of entertainment.
But perhaps it was just that too much energy was spent on these details. The really worthy emotional turn was weak and weak, and the ending turn was even more unbelievable. There was a sense of "what? That's it?" Maybe
takes into account the age of the audience and Disney's mission?
If you look at "Maleficent 2" from the perspective of a child, the movie is indeed "good-looking" regardless of the plot level.

A movie with a dreamlike kingdom.
The story of Maleficent 2 is set a few years after the first episode. Princess Arlo becomes the queen of the devil and agrees to the marriage proposal of Prince Philip (Harris Dickinson).
However, Prince Philip's mother and queen Ingris (Michelle Pfeiffer) looks gentle, but in private is an extremely warlike person.
In order to expand the territory, he will not hesitate to provoke a war between humans and the demon. Marlene Fissen loves Princess Arlo but also wants to prevent the demon forest from being invaded. There is only one battle between the two sides.
If you like the first episode of "Maleficent" and are excited about the magical world and special effects, then "Maleficent 2" will definitely not disappoint.
Disney has exerted its ability to create a dream country.
has made the Demon Domain Forest splendid and dazzling from the very beginning, with flower fairies flying all over the sky, all kinds of lovely fantasy spirits, warm and genial sunshine falling in the colorful forests with blooming flowers.
Queen Arlo is wearing a dream princess dress and a vibrant crown sitting on the throne of a big tree, and the big screen is filled with laughter like brass bells. A picture like
can definitely satisfy the hearts of girls all over the world, so beautiful that it makes people feel unreal but extremely charming. The plot content of
03
also conforms to Disney's always correct politics.
Good and evil cannot be determined by appearance. The evil-looking Marlene Fissen is actually just reluctant to marry Princess Arlo as a wife.
The seemingly decent queen Ingris happily greets Princess Arlo on the surface, but in private there are frequent rumors slandering Marlene Fissen as a wicked witch, just to initiate war and invade the devil's domain.
When Marlene Fissen found out that he actually belonged to the Black Fairy clan, and the clansmen lived in seclusion on a small island on the sea, the various races on the island were more able to see Disney's intentions.
has various real-world ethnic groups such as African Americans, Asians, Aboriginals, etc. There are immortals with the bones of Chinese immortality, and mothers in kimono with full of oriental flavor. It is a great integration of the world!
is not to say that such a setting is not good. In fact, in "Maleficent 2", because these settings are matched with wonderful animation special effects, a very wonderful magic war has been made, which is quite entertaining.
But it is because of paying too much attention to these details that the role is single and flat, making people play.
Princess Arlo is "silly white sweet" from start to finish. She was dazzled by love and misunderstood. Marlene Fissen released a curse, and she just wanted to get married regardless of Marlene Fissen’s life and death;
Prince Philip faced his mother There is nothing to do with the black heart, and there is no way to do it. It makes people feel that whoever marries his family will have serious problems with mother-in-law and daughter-in-law;
Marlene Fissen is so cold that she finds her true belongings and does not show muchLove, the death of a partner in the Demon Realm can still have a happy wedding; the curse of king
is lifted, and it is like forgetting that he has a wife...

movies emphasize love and peace from beginning to end, but they continue to kill each other. The instigator of the ending of the
movie just turned into a sheep. The elves and soldiers who had just been fighting each other instantly became good friends. Without giving the dead blue fairy an explanation, the story went to a happy ending. In the eyes of adults,
is an evaluation of "the real world is not so simple", but Disney may be burdened with a heavy burden.
What they want to build is a dreamland rather than the real world. From this perspective, "Maleficent 2" is a pass!
But if you want to watch entertainment, special effects, dreams, Angelina Jolie, Michelle Pfeiffer and Elle Fanning from Maleficent 2, then this movie can definitely satisfy you .
But don't care too much about the logic. Don't expect Disney to portray the character "Marlene Fissen" like "Joker", otherwise you will have to walk out of the movie theater with a dry smile.
Your own fairy aunt has just died in the war. Princess Arlo, you still have a daughter to marry. The blue fairy will probably become the next generation of Black Witch.
In short, Maleficent 2 has a dreamlike kingdom. Although the characters are single and flat and the logic is not too rigorous, it continues to atone for female characters like the first episode.
