"Sleeping Mantra" series of movies is a film IP adapted by Disney based on the classic fairy tale "Sleeping Beauty". Recently, the sequel of Maleficent has landed in major domestic theaters, and has won the single-day box office for three consecutive days starting from the second day. So far, the total box office has exceeded 180 million.
However, the reputation of "Maleficent 2" is really fluttering. As of now, the score on Douban is only 6.2 points. Compared to Maleficent 1 with a score of 7.1, the audience clearly has no good feelings about the sequel of this movie.
logically should not have such a tragic result, is Princess Fanning not cute or Angelina Jolie is not charming? Walked into the theater and experienced it and finally found the crux of it.
一 | A vague view of right and wrong
"Maleficent 1" is still a good film in my opinion. Animation production is maintained at a level that Disney should have. On this basis, he is still a good story full of drama conflicts and contradictory relationships. The innocent girl who was deceived by the scumbag evolved into a black-bellied and powerful female devil in a blink of an eye. She cursed the daughter of the scumbag and his rival, and then gave birth to love out of hatred. The narrative from the perspective of fairy tales gives people enough reasons to believe. The whole movie gives people a sense of substitution that unconsciously sinks into the story itself. The second part of
tells the story of a vicious queen delusional to use marriage to rule the two worlds of humans and demons. Angelina Jolie, the godmother incarnation of the phoenix of Nirvana, breaks the queen's conspiracy. From the comparison of the two films, they are also telling stories in a fairy tale tone. But this time the director seems to have not paid attention to the adult audience at all, and is determined to drag the adult audience's IQ to the ground.
Obviously, high-quality animation, appropriate soundtrack, and smart characters. All have created a very beautiful atmosphere for this film adapted from a fairy tale. To put it bluntly, the shining stars and the flapping wings of the elves and fairies are elements that children only pay attention to, and the right and wrong and logic that support the whole story are the topics that adult moviegoers love to pay attention to. However, whether it is for logical considerations or for the establishment of right and wrong views, Maleficent 2 has many bugs.
Can you say that the queen in the white dress is a symbol of evil? But when she was a child, she was loved by her father and brother Wang like a princess. In a disaster year at
, his brother Wang came to the elves to borrow food, but he was killed by the elves without borrowing the food. From then on, her kingdom began to decline rapidly, and she married someone she didn't love.
On the other hand, the Dark Night Race led by Angelina Jolie is even more correct. Although they slept in the deep sea, they never ceased their thirst for light. What's more, the kind-hearted dark night race also saved the godmother who was dying.
In this way, what is the point of arranging such a brutal battle at the end? How should we as spectators stand to view the blood shed for war? Therefore, the view of right and wrong in Maleficent 2 is undoubtedly vague and lame.
II | The person setting in a mess
The person setting of "Maleficent 1" is still quite interesting. The smile of the little princess Fanning satisfies all the audience’s fantasies about sweet girls, and the strong female demon played by Angelina Jolie is extremely in line with the aesthetics of Yu Jiekong, making people think that Disney’s playing contrast is also pretty There is a set. However, in "Maleficent 2", Princess Arlo's words and deeds made her favorability plummet.
It is your own business to get married or not, but it is not right to put some rules on your godmother because of a marriage. Why should Julie, who has an aura of two meters and eight meters, be smirking at humans, and why should Arlo smile and cover Julie's horns with a scarf? Do you think that raising you such a big godmother is anti-human? Isn't true peace about meeting frankly, loving the house and the crow? This Arlo is almost the same as the domestic white lotus.
三 | Blinded by love, Princess Arlo
, based on the words of the future mother-in-law, identified the godmother who raised her as the murderer who cursed the king's sleeplessness. Not only that, Princess Arlo abandoned the people of the Elf Forest for love, while the silly elves and fairies fell into this deadly trap in order to send blessings to the princess. For this reason, our fairy godmother, Xiaolan, sacrificed like this. She is really the princess of this year.not worth it. Sleeping beauty just stay in the magic castle and sleep well? Why do you wake up and do things? Weak in strength and still a pleasing personality. Such Arlo is definitely the bottom princess in Disney.
is always the godmother who is injured, and the one who protects Arlo is also the godmother, and it is the godmother who cleans up the mess from behind Arlo's ass. The vague view of right and wrong, the bad set of people are failures, and Angelina Jolie's beauty can only support the stage.
