Animated Langer film review

Rango, this film review is from Douban. You can go to Douban to have a look.

See a movie on Amsterdam Road, 20 1 1 March11.

20 10 released many excellent animation works, such as Play 3, Taming Ji Long, Rapunzel, Despicable Me, etc., which all won a win-win situation at the box office, especially Play 3, which was nominated for the best film in the Oscar, showing the excellent quality of animation works last year. Under such pressure, the release of this Rango at the beginning of the new year was somewhat weak. What about the answer sheet handed in by the film?

Rango's director, Gregor Verbinski Gregor Verbinski, directed the very successful Pirates of the Caribbean series. This time, Johnny Depp, the leading actor, was invited to voice the chameleon Rango in the film, and the dubbing scene was specially set, and the props were almost the same as in the film. The exquisite painting style of Industrial Light Magic, which once provided visual effects for Star Wars, made people see the shape of clouds reflected by Rango on the sliding glass. The script was written by john logan, the original author of Avatar. With such a strong lineup, Rango attracted the attention of the audience.

The opening of the film can be described as very beautiful. Rango, wearing a Hawaiian T-shirt, is playing an imaginary drama with plastic yellow croaker and bust model in the pet tank. Rango can be said to be a natural performer, and his rich inner activities have made him lose himself and have been unable to define his position. When the fish tank drew a beautiful arc in mid-air, Rango's intoxicated dream was finally broken, and the reality of ease and drowsiness was scattered on the highway with flying glass, while his skin and dreams shrank for two weeks in the hot sun and became dry and flying dander.

It can be said that this movie is funny and bad, which is why some people think it is an adult movie. The film adopts the pure animation mode of Tom and Jerry era, blends the texture and image of real people, and introduces a strong western style. From the picture, there has never been an animation as dry, monotonous and dirty as Rango. The main characters all look like rodents (that is, animals), and it is difficult to identify them. It can be said that this film is similar to the style of tim burton's Scare of Silent Night, but it is better: Rango is ugly, even with poor eyes, the heroine, Miss Bean, is just a lizard with a strong accent, Priscilla's little pot friend is just a cactus mouse in Mud Town, and the mayor is an old turtle. As an enlightener, Roadkill is an armadillo that has not died after being run over by a car, while the villain Jake is a terrible rattlesnake. As for those lovely wandering bands, they sang the beginning of "this lizard" ... he is going to die ",which simply laid the tone of Rango's personality. This imperfect presentation is more convincing: the main characters are no longer big-eyed dogs and kittens, they really exist here, whether you accept it or not. It was these grotesque animals that helped Rango finally become a hero. This technique makes Rango's image more vivid and the story more natural and vivid.

In addition, the film is also interspersed with paragraphs of different ages. However, Rango avoided the common vulgar jokes such as "shit and fart" and used some metaphorical words such as "feces" and "prostate", such as the classic toilet joke No.2, which made people laugh.

Of course, if the film only has the above elements, it is only an animated work with good performance. The genius of the film lies in the shadow of many westerns, which seems to have quentin tarantino's style of innuendo-quoting many famous movies without losing himself. We saw the shadows of many classic westerns, such as Pink Man in Wolf City, Noon, Chinatown and Once upon a Time in America. Chinatown: similarity between water conservancy facilities and conspiracy theories; Noon: the loneliness and inner struggle of the town sheriff; Wolf city pink man: the black humor in the west that makes mistakes and becomes heroes; Once upon a time in America: the classic images of "noodles" and "Rango" are similar; And fear of Las Vegas are the similarities between Johnny Depp's constant pursuit of self-definition and dreams. The director pays tribute to many great films through Rango, which is a continuation and promotion of western feelings.

In fact, I realized the charm of this movie when I saw Rango slowly crossing the highway illuminated by headlights at night with his head down: the high-speed traffic is like a halo river. After setbacks and retreats, Rango went to the other side of the road step by step, trying to interpret other people's questions and find his own value. Some people say that the main line of the film is vague, I don't think so. Rango appeared on the highway from the beginning of the movie, and his heart was full of questions: Who am I? what can I do? When he was driven out after a storm in Mudtown, Priscilla asked him again, Who are you? Rango returned to the symbolic highway with his frustration and doubts. After crossing, he passed out. But he got new guidance and enlightenment in his dream, and finally understood his true heart and mission: the so-called hero is not gifted, but should be seen by others.

I got lost on the highway and found myself on the edge of the highway, round and round, a perfect circle.

Therefore, compared with the mixed comments on Douban, I personally agree with the value of this film. This is an animated film with strong western flavor, strong accent, many authentic jokes, exquisite soundtrack, wonderful pictures and profound thinking. Depp's sexy and changeable dubbing is perfect, which makes the whole movie more interesting. In today's hottest 3D movies, this movie is still released in 2D format. Paramount is full of courage. However, if we can appreciate the originality of the film, we will find it reasonable. It is true that this year's Car 2, Rio Adventure, Smurfs, Kung Fu Panda 2 and Tintin are all wonderful, but this Rango can definitely be regarded as a good start for this year's animated film. Let's wait and see.
