The Monkey King——My favorite movie

How many movies do we watch in our life? I haven't counted it, but it's obvious that this figure must not be too small. We have seen so many movies, I believe that in everyone's heart, there will be a movie that we think is the most perfect and favorite. No matter how many times you watch it, you still want to take it out again for some time. I also have such a film in my heart that can not be surpassed. Its story is not novel, everyone can recite its plot; Its production is not high-end. It is drawn by countless painters one by one. But it still attracts me so much, probably because it contains strong Chinese national characteristics.

The Monkey King is adapted from Journey to the West, one of the four famous works in ancient China. The monkey king went to Donghai dragon palace to borrow treasure because he had no satisfactory weapon. But when the monkey king pulled out the treasure, the Dragon King went back and complained to the heavenly palace. The Jade Emperor adopted the idea of Taibai Jinxing, tricked the monkey king into heaven and put him under house arrest. When the monkey king knew that he had been cheated, he was angry and returned to Huaguo Mountain. He put up the banner of "Qi Tian Da Sheng" to compete with the heavenly palace. The monkey king fought back, smashed the heavenly palace and scared the Jade Emperor to escape.

From the perspective of the most basic elements of animation, the characters in The Monkey King are very distinctive. The monkey king's heart face and tiger skin skirt are classics in the hearts of countless people, as if the monkey king described in the book looked like this; The pale face of the Jade Emperor and Nezha like a new year doll are unforgettable. Secondly, the soundtrack of this animated film changed from the usual, using Beijing opera as the background music, so suitable! So match! The appearance of different characters and fierce fighting scenes are changeable but extremely harmonious. In addition, the flowers, mountains and stones in the background, the murals and structures of buildings, and the colorful undersea Dragon Palace dazzle people. They not only contain the charm of Chinese painting, but also present the real and accurate undersea paradise that has always existed in our imagination.

The Monkey King has become a classic not only because of its excellent production, but also because it carries China's unique culture and national spirit. In the 1960s, when the revolution was emphasized, the undisguised rebellious spirit of the monkey king, the protagonist of the animation, hit the hearts of the audience. In addition, at the time of the preparation of the animation, China's animation film technology had not yet started. The cost of capital and manpower to produce such an animation could not be counted, and the difficulties and obstacles faced could not be calculated. However, even if the conditions are so difficult, China Shanghai Art Film Studio can still overcome all difficulties and risks and insist on completing the animation. It contains the indomitable spirit of the Chinese people. My high school is famous for its fine arts. Three of our alumni participated in the production of

The Monkey King. They told us: "it takes three people to draw a frame of animation for two days, and it takes a month to finish a minute of animation. There is no room for any mistakes. We have to draw the 90 minute animation by our hands!" with the cooperation of the team, Personal efforts, this is not just an ordinary animated film, it is more like the concentration of China's core national spirit for thousands of years.

Even after that, I have seen countless movies with exquisite production and novel plot. This movie The Monkey King is still the best movie that can't be replaced in my heart!
