Film Review of the Animation Xiao Gan

(1) Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio, New Singing of Old Songs is a book devoted to ghost stories. As a A Qing dynasty, it is a collection of ghost stories of China. Xiao Gan is one of the ghost stories. When talking about the film, film director Tsui Hark said, "... we chose this story because it is more romantic and beautiful. It is about a beautiful female ghost who seduces a scholar with all her strength and then falls in love with him. It is such a story that brings us the imagination and fantasy that we need to pursue in ordinary life. " The ancient theme was repackaged by Tsui Hark's Ghost Tale, which organically combined several elements of the original work with the style of Hong Kong movies, and at the same time introduced many modern people's ideas, becoming a "modern" ghost story that caters to the tastes of modern audiences. The ghost town where Xiao Gan lives in the cartoon is no longer eerie, but a very lively and prosperous city that never sleeps. Ghosts eat, drink and have fun at night; Sedan chairs flying around taxis, traffic lights in the ghost world, concerts crazy about ghost idols; In order to stay young, granny tree spirits must absorb yang, which is in line with modern values. Even the struggle between ghost hunters who incarnate justice will bring some metaphors that Tsui Hark's films have always had. (2) Funny nonsense is the killer of Hong Kong entertainment movies, and in Tsui Hark's film direction, funny has always been his specialty. The film "Xiao Gan" has also successfully integrated the comedy color of Hong Kong films and passed the next level. In the cartoon, Baiyun and Shifang Mentors appeared and Shifang introduced them. "Lingpai" mobile phone; Shinto robot; Traffic lights in the ghost world; The wonderful monologues of the old demon in Montenegro and so on. The film flashed some nonsense content everywhere, which enhanced the entertainment of the film and also made a box office. (3) The main factor of the wonderful stunt Tsui Hark's movies is technological innovation. His fascination with film stunts makes his films constantly renovated, which always brings visual shock to the audience. In this film, Tsui Hark strengthened the visual impact, three-dimensional scenes and a large number of special effects shots, which greatly increased the richness and appreciation of the film.
