probably has been with dogs in childhood, so I have never been immune to dog-themed movies. Seeing the Chinese version of "Little Q" was released, I went to the cinema for granted. However, when I watched "Guide Dog Little Q", I didn't shed many tears. Watching "Little Q", but crying off guard. However, when I stepped out of the theater, I felt that "Guide Dog Q" was more delicate and moving.
may feel a bit contradictory to say so. For example, it's like a fragrant flower, and the sudden floral fragrance will surprise you. However, the most memorable thing is the faint fragrance of grass on the roadside in the early morning, which is a kind of quiet beauty.
These two films are adapted from the same novel "Goodbye, Ke Lu", which records the ordinary and extraordinary life of a guide dog. However, the styles of the two films are completely different.
"Guide Dog Little Q" is loyal to the original work. The shooting angle is from the dog dog. It fully narrates the three partings in Xiao Q's life, each of which is delicate and complete. Watching "Guide Dog Little Q" is like watching a documentary about guide dogs, showing the training process and duties of guide dogs, warm and peaceful. Director
seems to be only recording the statement with the lens, without deliberate rendering, calm and restrained, but true and moving. Just like when reading a novel, you can sit still for a long time after closing the book.
and "Little Q" is more like a movie, with many adaptations of the novel, the angle of the camera has also become human. In foster families, getting along with young girls emphasizes the girl's reluctance. In the training center, the interaction with the instructors is more about emphasizing the instructors’ love. Until he was sent to the blind Li Baoting (played by Ren Dahua) and worked with Li Baoting, he still emphasized the change in Li Baoting's mentality. The
movie did not directly cast the lens on Xiao Q, but showed Xiao Q's loyal, considerate, and understanding through the reactions of everyone. However, it is this "people-oriented" adaptation that makes the audience more emotionally empathetic. Since
tells a story from a human perspective, there are bound to be ups and downs. This is the case with the movie "Little Q", omitting the first two warm separations of Xiao Q, and mainly telling the story between Xiao Q and Li Baoting.
is probably the impression of Ren Dahua, Zhao Jialiang who is still stuck in "Icebreaker", when Li Baoting showed a sordid expression, I felt that he was going to violent. Sure enough, Xiao Q's closeness was exchanged for Li Baoting's rage and abandonment. Ren Dahua played a full-fledged role of an old man who had become grotesque and irritable because of his blindness. At that moment, even though he knew he was filming, he couldn't help but feel anxious for Xiao Q.
didn't finally feel relieved until Xiao Q rescued Li Baoting who was looking for death. However, it was the inaccessibility of Li Baoting in the first half that made him appear in the second half. After he opened his heart, the relationship with Xiao Q became more warm and intimate.
is just that the film has repeatedly rendered Xiao Q’s recognition of the Lord, and subsequently, more and more emphasizes the loyalty and companionship of the guide dog, while ignoring the guiding role of the guide dog in the life of the blind.
Here, I think the film has deviated from the theme of guide dogs, because the most precious quality of guide dogs is not loyalty, but conscientiousness. The two points are different. The "Little Q" I saw was more like a pet warmth movie.
Speaking of warmth, we have to mention the sensationalism of the film. This is probably the success of "Little Q" as a commercial film, and it is the biggest failure because it is too much.
For example, Li Baoting is going abroad for surgery, and the dog chasing the car is too long and dangerous. From the beginning to the end, there is a heart to be raised, for fear that it will be hit. Although I know that the plot will not be so horrible, I just can't help it. Because of this shooting technique, it really looks like something is about to happen.
There were also people who went to the dog dealer’s warehouse to fight and fight with the dog dealer. The slow motion accompanied by music was full of embarrassment. Especially when Li Baoting was knocked to the ground, struggling to crawl towards Xiao Q, to be honest, he couldn't bear to look directly.
has the whole episode of the film from time to time, which also gives people the illusion of watching the MV. Especially the song "You Are My Eyes", although it is quite appropriate, it always sounds like a drama. I have to say that Luo Yongchang, who directed "Dark War 2", is still not very good at this kind of sensationalism, and a little bit too much.
But as a dog movie, the most important thing is that the audience is always very tolerant. especiallyFor those who like dogs, as long as it is harmless, they can still cry. In addition to the deliberate plot, Ren Dahua's performance is the key to the success of the film. Although the change in attitude towards Xiao Q before and after is a bit blunt, but the later period and Xiao Q get along too warmly, making people smile involuntarily. The last time
and Xiao Q, who has leg problems, walked together on the street were the most tearful part of the film. The sentence "Enough, finished work. Thank you for your hard work," silenced the whole theater at once. It is undeniable that as a commercial film, "Little Q" is a success.
Finally, if you want to ask the difference between the two films "Guide Dog Little Q" and "Little Q", I describe it this way, you probably understand.
After watching "Guide Dog Little Q", my thoughts are: The guide dog is so great, I want to support it.
After watching "Little Q", my thoughts are: Labrador is so cute, I want to raise one.
