2019 in Italy is the only Pinocchio live-action movie I have ever watched completely. You said this puppet is so cute and aura when watching Disney animation, how do you look at the style of the live-action version? Suddenly become dark?
even I think it is a little weird and a little scary.
Whether it's character image design or certain storylines, I think this version of "Pinocchio" may be the most adult. Of course, children’s perspective is different from that of adults after all. We find it weird, and maybe they will find it very happy in the eyes of bear children.
Generally speaking, this fantasy fairy tale movie will have different feelings for people of different ages, so the following are just some of my thoughts as an adult.
fits the original, slightly horrifying story
The main story is basically the same as the original fairy tale, and it is not too outrageous, so that fans who have read the original can watch the film without barriers. The male number one is naturally a puppet Pinocchio. , And Pinocchio’s carpenter father is played by the famous Italian comedian Roberto Bernini, who is also the hero of "Life is Beautiful".
He obtained a piece of wood of unknown origin from a friend. After returning home, he carved a vivid humanoid puppet. He thought of using it to travel the world to earn a living, but he did not expect the puppet to glow with vitality.
The puppet can talk, and the carpenter was only surprised that he accepted this bizarre reality for 4 to 5 seconds, and the world told him that he had a son. I always felt that this was a little too naive, but when I remembered it was a fairy tale after all The story, entangled with logic and reason is meaningless.
Pinocchio can not only talk, but also sprints like the wind. He is naughty and active. He does not listen to his father. He is very curious. Later he accidentally burned his feet and skipped class to watch the puppet show in the circus.
In this way, the mischievous Pinocchio was separated from his father. He was forcibly abducted by the head of the circus and began a long and fantastic adventure.
Pinocchio is a bear and child puppet, but his heart is extremely kind. He is innocent and lively, straightforward and innocent. The head of the circus was inspired by his pure heart and gave him 5 gold coins before leaving.
However, Pinocchio's kindness was used by bad guys. The "big villain" of
appeared in the whole movie, that is, two men aliased as cats and foxes, one singing and one cross talk duo, relying on fraud and abduction to make a living.
They coveted Pinocchio's gold coins, and they were ill-intentioned, deceived him, and fabricated dream-like coinage lies to him.
In this movie, there are no bad kids, only bad adults.
Children who are not well involved in the world are just like this being played in the palm of the hand by cunning bad guys.
At night, the cat and fox cross talk duo, blindfolded, tried to force Pinocchio's gold coins. Fortunately, the puppet's destined "Fairy Zixia" came to save him.
That is the little fairy, a lovely royal loli.
In front of the little fairy, even the naughty and disobedient Pinocchio slowly became docile and well-behaved. Since he often likes to lie, the little fairy applied magic. In the future, as long as Pinocchio speaks dishonestly, his nose will Longer,
"The nose will grow as soon as you lie" is an eternal fairy tale classic.
However, in this live-action movie, it is mentioned in one stroke that there is no other display or application except for the birds pecking, which is a pity. After
recovered from the illness, Pinocchio bid farewell to the little fairy and set off again on the way back to his hometown and looking for his father. Unexpectedly, he met the cat and fox crosstalk duo again by mistake. This time, they finally managed to cheat away. Pinocchio's gold coin.
Pinocchio went to the local court to find help, but the judge of the court arrested Pinocchio instead.
Pinocchio was so anxious that he was in fact a thief. It is extremely ironic that such remarks made the judge very happy and immediately let him go.
Reminiscent of the original fairy tale "Pinocchio" was published in 1880, it was not long after Italy was officially unified at that time, so the social situation is still relatively turbulent and chaotic.
Bad people are in power, good people can only be oppressed.
This is a true portrayal of that era. That's why
appears a kind heart that has not been polluted by the world, how rare and precious it is, shining brightly.
Pinocchio continues to embark on the endless journey of finding his father.
He walked across the mountains, across the desert, and even to the edge of the coast. I don't know how many years in the past, his father did not find him, but he met the old fairy again, but at this time he was already a big fairy.
The actor of the fairy is very suitable. She has a beautiful face and a beautiful appearance, beautiful and refined, and has outstanding temperament. It is only in the movie that she has changed from an immature fairy to a mature fairy, so Pinocchio’s father-seeking journey will probably take 20 years. ......
Pinocchio obeyed the instruction, went to school diligently, and was praised by the teacher, but after all, he was a childlike innocence, "unchanged", and skipped class to sit with other children. The last carriage went to a "toy kingdom". As mentioned earlier, there are no bad kids in this movie, only bad adults.
The children were abducted into this so-called "toy kingdom", but they were all turned into donkeys by bad guys.
is not only publicly sold, but also subjected to abuse and forced to participate in a circus show to make money for the bad guys.
To tell the truth, this episode made me quite horrified. The livestock enslaved by humans were actually changed by humans.
The children are full of endless suffocation and pain, but they can't make the slightest cry for help. Thinking about it, they feel cold all over, terrible.
, as an adult, I still feel this way, but the children don’t know how to look at it. Pinocchio, who turned into a donkey, was thrown into the sea frantically because of a leg injury during the performance.
But there is a fairy escorting the whole journey, and he has changed back to a puppet. The adventure at sea after
may be the climax of the film.
A hideous mutant giant shark swallowed Pinocchio in one bite.
In the belly of the shark, Pinocchio met a tuna.
This fish has a human face, a frowning face, and a sad crying voice. The style of painting is very weird, which makes people look mixed.
But the most surprising thing is that Pinocchio found the carpenter father in the shark's belly. The father of
can be called a wonderful flower in the world. Not only is he obviously calm and calm, but he also seems to be well-fed, well-clothed, and well-clothed. He even built a small room and didn’t want to escape. He was a bit “systematized” and alive. The old Brooks of "Shawshank Salvation." The father and son
got out of the trap with the help of that face tuna.
Finally, they found an abandoned house in the outskirts and lived in. But his father was old and weak in labor, so Pinocchio bravely assumed the responsibility of taking care of him and went out to work and earn money. After experiencing a series of hardships, frustrations and lessons, Pinocchio is finally sensible, no longer naughty, no longer greedy, and finally turned into a real child by a fairy.
Looking at it this way, is Pinocchio's experience very much like our childhood?
Innocent and ignorant children, how much hardship they have to endure and how many lessons they have gone through, will know the dangers of the world and the warmth of human feelings. This is physical exercise, but also spiritual tempering.
picturesque scenery
If you say that this movie is a pastoral scene, it’s not a big deal.
This may be the most beautiful "Pinocchio" live-action movie in history. The story of
shows us one after another of the original rural landscapes of Italy 100 years ago. The sense of age is very strong. Even though most of them are studio + green screen special effects, the visual effects are indeed pleasing to the eye and make me feel refreshed. Intoxicated.
just cut a few scenes, you can become wallpaper:
In terms of special effects for the ugly character
, the film has nothing to fault, it is very realistic and natural, and it does not lose to the same type of American movies.
is just that the characters on the stage are more scary than the other, dark as ghosts, ugly as demons, weird as spirits, monsters and vigorous, real and strange.
There are so many non-human creatures in the world, as if demons and ghosts are in power. The point of
is that they are not cute or cute, so adults may be surprised when they see them.
Regardless of snail housekeeper, fat cricket or human face tuna, anyway, except for fairies, I think other fantasy characters tend to be dark and dark. The overall color is gray and black, and the colorful and vivid "Alice in Dreams" "Wonderland" are two completely different styles.
Ending
2019 "Pinocchio" does not have a very strong childishness, the tone is not very cheerful, on the contrary, the style is dark and low, and it feels that it is filmed exclusively for adults. The film is 124 minutes long and somewhat lengthy. Director Mateo Galloni painted a lot of details, adding a lot of dramatic conflicts and anecdotal scenes.
However, the victory lies in the truthfulness, not exaggeration or forced sensation, and the young age component can be controlled well, so that the audience can be moved in a gradual rhythm. Pinocchio finally immersed himself in the sensible picture of his father's homework, I A little bit of tears.
So there is one thing to say. Although the film is darker, it is finally permeated in the warm emotional core. It is educated for bear children and has sentiment for adults.
As the saying goes, the father is as deep as a mountain, some people choose to ignore it throughout their lives, and some people find it again and cherish it after being planted with countless somersaults, such as Pinocchio.
