The Adventures of Tintin 2011
-- In memory of my childhood
A puzzle hovers over my head after watching The Adventures of Tintin. In order to unriddle this puzzle, I went to another theater with much better equipments and watch this movie for a second time, then it was done: Tintin’s adventures are faultless this time, and everything is perfect, but only one thing I felt somewhat regretful is the pass of my childhood. As a Tintin fan, I have a very high expectation to this movie. Nevertheless, after watching twice, I still feel a little boring, which confuses me much. My first reaction is that I am getting older, and I have lost my childlike innocence.
Technically speaking, The Adventures of Tintin is perfect. The Motion Capture technology brings out a gorgeous vision impact, plus the advantage of 3D makes this movie faultless. The theme, stories and characters are almost stick to the origin, thus as a Tintin fan, I really cannot blame too much. However, when I finish it, I always feel that something is not correct: it is too perfect, too satisfying, and might need some something more important for me personally which would touch me in the most depth of my heart.
When chatting with my friends, I throw out a critical sentence, made me suddenly realize what I need from The Adventures of Tintin. Tintin should never be the Indiana Jones V! The Adventures of Tintin directed by Spielberg, is essentially an animated Indiana Jones V, isn’t it? If we want to see Indiana Jones, then we must see an Indiana Jones who is brandishing his whip, even if Uncle Ford is old enough that a 20-year son has to be set out there in the movie, we still want to see the cowboy version of history professor but not an Indiana Jones wearing Tintin’s coat. Now in this Tintin’s Adventures, all elements for entertainment movie, including action, adventure, friendship and bad guys, everything is designed perfectly and adjusted to the potential reaction of audience, striking to make laughter and fun for them. But I am still thinking Tintin has left something behind: emotion and feeling.
Why do we go to cinema? Because we want to watch that little hero, a projection of ourselves, to make his dreams come true which should never ever be happening in our real life, in his world of wonder, in the depth of our heart.
I love this movie for its perfect technology and visual effects, and I also love my childhood of booking reading, to my childhood, to Tintin.
What is your love in your childhood?
