Brief review of the film

Fairy tale clichés have been put on the screen again. For many years, people have not been able to escape from the settings of the Brothers Grimm. In the fairy tale story, there must be a beautiful princess, a handsome prince, an evil queen, the prince and the princess fall in love at first sight, but are blocked by the queen, and then go through many hardships and finally give the audience a happy ending. In this routine of the film, they also thought of a set of gimmicks that combine cartoons and reality. However, the actual head-on collision between the ideal worldview of fairy tales and the utilitarian thinking of real people in the film has become a highlight of the film. Whether it can handle this important dramatic contradiction has also become an important factor in determining the success or failure of the film. This not only requires the director to properly control the overall situation, but also requires the actors' in-depth understanding and expression. It can be said that this film is a significant assessment and test for director Kevin Lima, who has made his first comeback after seven years, and Amy Adams, who has just begun her career leap. .

When Fairy Tales Meet Reality

For screenwriter Bill Kelly, the reason why he wanted to create such a novel story began with a story that only existed in imagination. How can the innocent people from the fictional world of fairy tales continue to survive in the sophisticated modern society? Kelly said: "We first proposed a similar 'hypothesis' and then wanted to use it as a starting point to develop a complete story. However, we always encountered insurmountable obstacles because the characters were not believable enough. Until there was One day, a brand new idea suddenly came up: If our protagonist only existed in the fairy tale world at first and was an animated character, wouldn't everything be solved? "Because of the unique creativity of the script itself, once it is completed, It was bought by producers Barry Josephson and Barry Sonnenfeld and brought to Disney. Josephson said: "Kelly's story would have lost a lot without Disney's help. Fun, when it comes to fairy tales, is there a more authoritative publisher than Disney? Bringing traditional hand-drawn animated princesses into modern life, this alone is enough to fascinate me. ”

Disney director Kevin Lima was also deeply fascinated by "Enchanted" for the same reason. He has previously directed "102 Dogs", "Tarzan" and "The Ultimate Idiot", both Live-action movies also have animations. The success of the film is enough to prove Lima's ability to control and appreciate those classic stories. At the same time, he will not miss any of the excellence that maintains its appeal.

Director Kevin Lima’s past works are not many, but the films he has participated in are all concentrated in the cartoon genre. In 1999, Kevin Lima became famous for his masterpiece "Tarzan" (Tarzan), which also became a Hollywood star. Having made a name for himself and having previously written two Oscar-winning cartoons for "Aladdin", people are looking forward to this project. However, if you think about it carefully, it is not difficult to find that these two The huge halo seems to have nothing to do with Kevin Lima. "Tarzan" won the Oscar for the song "You'll Be in My Heart" by Phil Collins (the Chinese version was performed by Zhou Huajian in "You and My Heart"). Original Music Award "Aladdin's Magic Lamp" also won statuettes for music - Best Score and Best Original Music. The resumes of Oscar-winning film directors and screenwriters can't help but seem a bit sensational. In 2000, Kevin Lima's "102" "Real Dog" (102 Dalmatians) suffered a big setback.

Soon, producer Barry Josephson and Kevin Lima got in touch and sat down to discuss the production and shooting of the film. Josephson said: "That was our first It was a real meeting, but I learned as quickly as possible that Lima has a very complete and amazing imagination for this story, which can definitely help this already excellent script play its due role on the big screen. "Effectiveness." Lima agreed: "After I read the script, my first thought was that it is really suitable for me and I must not miss it. When I first entered the film industry, I was an animator and designer. teacher, and then became the director of two animated films, I know how much I like that fictional world."

When Kevin Lima found screenwriter Bill Kelly to talk about his love for it. When they understood the whole story, they found that they were surprisingly consistent in many points of view. Lima even offered unsolicited advice to help bring the two worlds of the script, animation and reality, together in a closer way. Lima said that if you want to highlight the beauty of the fairy tale world more clearly, you should choose the real world in New York, where people are most eager for quick success and quick success. People there are depressed and have no chance of happiness... Even another producer Ke Christopher Chase couldn't help but praise Lima: "Just with his knowledge of Disney animation, I knew that any worries were actually unnecessary.

”

About the story

To perfectly embody the story of jumping back and forth between two parallel worlds on the big screen, Kevin Lima needs to bring his creation to life He said: "The beginning of the film is actually a traditional Disney animation. I compressed and refined many classic fairy tales and absorbed the essence. It is rich and thought-provoking. In the first 10 minutes, you can see the most representative elements of all Disney fairy tales, and then the real story begins... So, "Enchanted" should be considered a live-action movie in the strict sense, because from The characters in the animated world have become real people - this transformation represents the core content of the entire film and is also the source of the contradiction that the protagonist has been struggling with. "

Bill Kelly seemed very relieved to leave the script to Kevin Lima. He said: "The film will re-present the classic characters in Disney animation in a more beautiful way. It can be said that in the process of growing up, Disney animation brought us countless fun. The characters and themes in it have become almost everyone's best expectations in childhood. Then, we put those hopelessly naive characters into the real world of philistines, and what we really need to solve is to find a balance between these two completely different worlds. Lima continued: "The sophistication of modern society is completely contrary to the innocence of the fairy tale world. Princess Giselle in the film came into our world with a baby-like innocence. She worked hard to accept every moment." One thing, embrace life with a smile. Her unreasonable joy infected everyone around her, and they were unconsciously fascinated by her. ”

Giselle is a combination of multiple characters. You can see the shadows of Snow White, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Belle and the Little Mermaid in her. When words are not enough to express her When she was in the mood at that time, she would use singing instead... In the fairy tale country of Andalasia, princes also like to use singing to describe their feelings. They seem to have been looking for a woman who can sing duet with them, and then marry her. Home. So when Prince Edward heard Giselle's singing, he couldn't wait to follow the sound. Unfortunately, the troll got there before him, so Edward had to go through a fierce fight. Won the heart of the princess.

True love always has to go through some twists and turns before it can achieve what it wants. This time, the evil was most truly reflected through Queen Narissa. She did not want her son Edward to get married because According to the law of the country, the prince's wife will take over the position of queen. Narissa turns herself into an old beggar, makes Giselle lean into the wishing fountain, and then pushes the future bride into the fountain... After passing through the whirlpool formed by the fairy's magic, Giselle transformed into a real woman and climbed up from a sewer into the center of Manhattan.

Giselle meets Robert, a world-weary New York divorce lawyer. · Philip and his shy little daughter Morgan met unexpectedly. At Morgan's plea, they temporarily took Giselle in... This became an important key point in everything that happened next, not only Giselle's experience. As it becomes more real, even Robert slowly accepts the rare innocence and carefreeness in this tired world. Kevin Lima said: "For the fairy tale's 'happily ever after' or '. Robert didn't believe a word of "true love". He was a father. His wife left him a few years ago. He did his best to raise his daughter, but he became more and more arrogant in the cruelty of real life. Therefore, his character has always been very practical until he met Giselle and was influenced by her unreasonable happiness and innocence. Giselle believed that the 'kiss of true love' is waiting for you somewhere in the corner. , once you find him, you will sing happily involuntarily, you will dance with him, and then finally share that special kiss - this is her belief and the original driving force to move the story forward.

About the Actor

Italian actress Amy Adams successfully played the role of Ashley in "JuneBug" in 2005 and was nominated for the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress, although she lost in the end. It was given to the British beauty Rachel Weisz, but it also allowed Amy Adams to successfully become a Hollywood first-line actress. This film also served as the first female lead in a commercial masterpiece

About the soundtrack

In contrast, the most luxurious camp in the film lineup seems to be Alan Menken and Stephen Schwartz, the two heroes who have won 14 Oscars. Nominated for 11 awards and 5 trophies at the "Music Oscars" Grammy Awards. Nominated 8 times, the outstanding record can definitely be regarded as the biggest name in the crew. This time the two brothers collaborated on "The Wind in the Wind" 12 years ago. After the success of Pocahontas, I believe that the soundtrack in the film will definitely be worth looking forward to, and the two of them will be indispensable at next year's Oscar banquet.

Music album

Alan.Menken.-.[Enchanted] "Enchanted" music

Album introduction

Alan Menken has not had any outstanding works in recent years. The soundtrack he made for the game "Kingdom Hearts 2" in 2005 was just a rewrite of classic tracks, while the 2006 "Kingdom Hearts 2" soundtrack "Shaggy Dog" is also ordinary. Finally, this time Alan is back with the wonderful "Enchanted".

In fact, the lack of good works has a lot to do with Disney's weakness in recent years. Since Disney's big change this year and its determination to regain its glory, it has brought many good works. "Magic Love" released in November is one of them. The film uses a presentation method that combines animation and real-life shooting. It tells the story of a princess who fell in love with a handsome prince in a fairy tale animation world. The prince also admired the princess's beauty. Their love grew stronger but it aroused great dissatisfaction with the prince's mother, the Evil Queen. The queen who wants to control everything certainly does not allow her son to be possessed by another woman. The perverted desire is powerful, and the result is irreversible conquest. The queen waved her finger, and the princess was expelled from this dreamy fairy tale world and came to the modern city-New York. From this, the film switched to live-action shooting. Realistic materialism, hypocrisy, and glitz have replaced the innocence of the fairy tale world.

The princess was extremely confused and helpless in a strange environment. At this time, a personable lawyer extended a helping hand to her. In reality, the princess no longer has the undying love in fairy tales, and she can't help but secretly admire the lawyer while getting along with him. But can fairy tale love still survive in reality? This is the biggest question in the princess's mind. With this doubtful princess, she began a long exploration of the human world. On the other hand, the prince is also struggling to find traces of the princess. Thus, fairy tales and reality, betrayal and perseverance, ideals and reality, true love and excitement interweave a unique magical romance...

The soundtrack also fully demonstrates Alan's strength. Alan has always been excellent in directing the soundtracks for Disney's romantic love animations. Works such as "The Little Mermaid", "Beauty and the Beast", "Aladdin", "Pocahontas", etc. are all familiar to everyone. Although this time's "Magic Love" is a bit old-fashioned in terms of story, Disney's classics will soon be here. The beautiful melody, the soundtrack that combines action, comedy and fantasy, and the beautiful theme song once again bring us into the magical world of Disney fairy tales.

The scan compressed package includes all large scanned images and CUE files.
