"Dragon" itself is a hieroglyph, and the words of Oracle Bone Inscriptions and Jin are like monsters with big mouths and long bodies. There is an exhibition hall in Hunan Provincial Museum, which displays many bronze wares with dragon patterns in Shang and Zhou Dynasties, which is quite attractive. As a symbol of power, the dragon has gradually become the exclusive of the emperor, and the emperor is the "real dragon emperor". We worship the dragon, which is the totem of the East. According to Records of the Five Emperors, this statement can be traced back to the Yellow Emperor's "Busan Hegu", that is, the Yellow Emperor unified the totems of various armies into dragons.
After a long historical development and change, the image and connotation of the dragon have gradually become diverse and rich. However, today's movies about dragons have such a beautiful totem image, but they can't find a truly influential movie featuring "dragons".
1, the most classic dragon movie "Things Change"
1979 movie, which, like Make a scene in Heaven, is an absolute animated film and television classic in China. The exquisite painting style of ancient rhyme and ethereal and beautiful traditional music make the familiar image of Nezha more story-telling and imagery. This is also the first large-scale color wide-screen animated feature film in China, and it has won many awards at major film festivals at home and abroad, including the judges' awards at the Youth International Animation Film Festival of Hundred Flowers Award and the French Polas Cultural Club.
However, in this film, the dragon appears in a negative image. Even if the world was cracked, the Dragon King remained watertight, and ordered Hag to go to the seaside to rob boys and girls. So Nezha challenged the Dragon King and killed his third prince. The Dragon King was furious and led the sailors to make waves, which flooded Chentangguan, Nezha's hometown. Nezha finally stood up for the comfort of the whole city and committed suicide in a storm as dark as night, which really made my tears roll in my eyes.
I watched this movie in primary school, and I watched it at the same time as the old version of Journey to the West. There are Nezha and Hong Haier in it, and I don't know what happened to them. I always thought they were the same person. I didn't realize that Nezha's story was much stronger than Hong Haier's epic until I finished watching the animated version of "Things Change". The image of Nezha won my heart, but the appearance of the old dragon king who lost his beloved son "White-haired people send black-haired people" has always left a mark on my heart. Watching this animated film today is really far from many domestic animated films. Finally, where is Chentangguan, Nezha's hometown? Yichang? Chongqing? Zigong? Hangzhou? No, Yibin.
2. The most modern dragon movie "Searching for the Dragon to Seize the Treasure"
20 1 1 This is the first film co-produced by China and Australia. It is directed by Mario Andric Ou and co-starred by Chinese and foreign actors such as sam neill, Jordan chan and Ji Wang. The film mainly tells the story of an Australian boy who came to China to visit his father who was engaged in archaeological excavations. As a result, he accidentally embarked on the journey of "meeting the dragon" with his father's colleague's daughter, and also launched a brain-opening struggle with the grave robbers group.
The story sounds strange and mysterious, but it's really bad to shoot. I still remember that the dragon on the poster is really "beautiful", just like the dragon pattern on the wall of the Palace Museum. But in the movie, the dragon's special effect is "fifty cents" and "a plastic bag-like excrement and Huanglong in the beautiful scenery of China will be reduced to ashes". It is said that the film cost 6,543.8 billion yuan at that time and took two years. I really don't know how much money and time it took.
3. The cutest dragon movie "Dragon"
1995 movie, named dragon, a movie that can make the audience laugh from beginning to end. When I saw this topic, my first reaction in my mind was it. Although there is no "dragon" image, there are innocent and lovely Hao Shaowen and Ashton Chen, Takeshi Kaneshiro, who is only 22 years old in Shuai Shuai, pure and beautiful Ye Quanzhen, and Ng Man Tat, who is already a supporting role in "Gold". Under the direction of director Zhu Yanping, they launched a nuclear war with international gangs on the Hawaiian beach, that is, a duel between the "Dragon" and the evil forces in the West.
The story is bloody, but Takeshi Kaneshiro is really handsome and fresh, and there will be some inner body double, who is really a handsome man; Hao is delicate, chubby and cute enough to want to pinch any piece of meat, especially the terrier tattooed on the last "baby elephant", which really makes people laugh. Ashton Chen is just a little boy, but he always looks like a wise precocious adult. The feeling of being silly is really pitiful. For the three of them, I strongly recommend the movie Amway to everyone. Although CCTV6 has been broadcast countless times, I feel that in this movie, which has no "dragon" at all but is also called "dragon", it is guaranteed to make you feel that the world is perfect.
Finally, I want to say that there are many movies about dragons in the west, such as How to Train Your Dragon, Long Zhixin, Dragon Knight and so on. For us, the inheritance of dragon culture has always been like this. Dragon culture is a concrete symbol of cohesion and centripetal force of the Chinese nation. Whenever we talk about "telling the story of China well and promoting traditional culture", we find that even a big movie about "Dragon" is missing, and we can't help sighing.
