Thrilling desert adventure, mysterious and magical Arabian elements, an independent princess falling in love with a street gangster, the magic lamp genie making three wishes come true, and Oscar singing the divine songA Whole New World, the live-action version of "Aladdin" not only restores the grand scenes and classic music of the animation, the directorGaryThe addition of "The Legend" makes the story more exciting and compact, and Will Smith plays the magic genie. The hip-hop and funny style gives the movie a brand new world.
Breaking through the traditional Disney framework and adapting to today’s generation
People tend to compare it with the 1992 animated film. The main difference is that I think the director tried to create a film that strives for innovation under the traditional Disney skin.Carefully inserted modern elementsarriveCreate current issues with high levels of recognition.
First, inserting modern elements can be seen from many details in the movie, most of which are based on song and dance performances, such as Will Smith singing when the elf appears.Friend like meIt adds hip hop elements, etc., and at the same time it can fully describe the fun of the magic genie, and it can also meet the audience's expectations for the renovation of old movies.
second, traditional Disney mostly describes that the existence value of women (princess) is born because of men (princes), but the current remake of the live-action movie reverses this view, showing that women can prove their worth without relying on men alone. . For example, two points can be seen:
- The ending of 2019's "Aladdin" depicts Princess Jasmine finally becoming sultan and abolishing the country's laws on her own.
- princess jasmine soloSpeechlessThe lyrics can be glimpsed. The two solo scenes each illustrate different stages of mentality, from passive acceptance of the first monologue to actual behavior in the second monologue.
In this way, the remake of the movie will not cause confusion and displeasure for the audience. Instead, it will create a higher sense of identity because it is closer to your life and mine, rather than ancient medieval Arabian life, which is more difficult for the audience to understand.
Just looking at Aladdin in 2019
The plot of the whole movie is very smooth and the rhythm is just right. It doesn't feel like anything is too slow or rushed. It may be that the next direction has been determined based on the established impressions in the past.
Singing scenes are very common for Disney, and 2019 Aladdin lives up to everyone’s expectations. Especially the scene where Prince Ali appears is astonishingly spectacular and dazzling, plus the familiarPrince AliThe emergence of songs,Taken together, it gives people a nostalgic yet refreshing look and feel..
What's a pity is that Princess Jasmine's second solo will cause drama. Maybe the director wants to create a virtual situation to illustrate Jasmine's inner struggle and solve all these difficult moods, but will it make people feel that they are in a parallel time and space? ? I don’t understand what the current situation is like, and I can’t feel it together.
In terms of casting, I also admire the fact that Mena Massoud, Naomi Scott and Will Smith were found to perform together. Originally, the trailer was full of prejudice against Will Smith, but after watching this movie, I love him more because of his humor and words. this role. Part of me personally feels that the casting of Jafar is a bit weak, and there may be issues with his voice and aura. This role was originally played by Patrick Stewart, and I think it would be better to create that evil feeling if played by Patrick.
PS: Mena Massound and Naomi Scott performed amazingly in the film, and their smiles also touched my heart haha. Here are their Instagrams for everyone who wants to follow them😍😍
No thunder summary
As someone who doesn’t have much interest in live-action Disney movies, the first one was dedicated to Aladdin!And I won't regret it!

In terms of casting, I also admire that he can interpret the characters in the cartoon very well. Originally, the trailer was full of prejudice against Will Smith, but after watching the movie, I fell in love with the character even more because of his humor and words. Part of me personally feels that the casting of Jafar is a bit weak, and there may be issues with his voice and aura.

But justOverall, I like and recommend "Aladdin" very much! I highly recommend it to people who have no interest in live-action Disney movies. I highly recommend that you give him a chance and let Aladdin take you into this new world.
