In the Dragon Boat Festival that just passed, the performance of the animated movie "Garfield Family " was unexpected. This film, which was released on June 1st, defeated many new films and became the single-day box office champion during the Dragon Boat Festival, exceeding people's expectations. As of 10:00 on June 13, the box office of "Garfield" has reached 130 million.
"Garfield" is Garfield's return to the mainland's big screen after 18 years. The film is adapted from Jim Davis's famous comic " Garfield " and has a large fan base. Under the influence of the powerful childhood filter, many viewers chose to go into the theater and once again spend an adventure with the fat cat who was lazy, fat but full of cunning wisdom.
"Garfield" is directed by Mark Tyndall and stars Chris Pratt and Samuel L. Jackson. The two had previously played Star-Lord and the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. in "The Avengers" respectively, and this time they joined forces again to become "father and son". Their performances inject vivid personality and emotions into the characters, allowing the audience to understand and feel the inner world of the characters more deeply. In particular, Chris Pratt voices Garfield. His voice complements Garfield's personality and adds a lot to the film.
In the film, Garfield and his "good friend dog" Odie, who have been pampered at home, are kidnapped, and unexpectedly reunite with their long-lost biological cat father Vic. The family is forced to be involved in a thrilling and funny adventure of "cats flying and dogs jumping". . The film combines comedy, adventure and emotion to create a cartoon that is both suitable for children and enjoyable for adults. The adventure plot in the film is tense and thrilling, and the emotional interactions between Garfield, his father Vic, and his canine companion Odie are warm and touching. "The Garfield Family" pays homage to "Mission: Impossible" and also buries many classic memes from the 2004 version of "Garfield". "The Garfield Family" not only allows the audience to regain their childhood, but also uses cats to heal humanity.
The video conveys positive life attitudes and values, such as family, friendship, courage and growth. The friendship between Garfield and Odie is touching, the reconciliation between Garfield and his biological father, and the owner Jon's unchanging love for Garfield all moved people. Audiences said that during the more than 100 minutes of watching this film, they could feel pure joy without any burden. For those cat owners who have adopted stray cats, this film is also a huge tear-jerker.
However, some viewers pointed out that Garfield in the film is only superficial and has lost his soul. In the original work, Garfield has a carefree attitude towards life. He does not strive for advancement but is content and self-satisfied. He also frequently makes famous quotes. He is a typical representative of "mourning" young people. In the film, Garfield has the attribute of a talkative character, which is inconsistent with the original character and has lost the pure style of Garfield.
But as old fans of Garfield IP, many people still choose to give this film the greatest tolerance. After all, "No one dislikes this fat cat who likes to eat lasagna."
