Special Highlights of the Polar Express

"The Polar Express" has many entertainment elements that please children. It is a bit funny, but this childish funnyness does not make the audience uneasy; moreover, the movie makes the strange things that happen in the film very clear. The strange things are made up to be true and believable. In this respect, "The Polar Express" is very different from the usual Christmas movies that are mindless and funny - it creates its own fantasy space like the "Wizard of Oz" and other films, which is the audience who thinks they are smart. It was not thought of beforehand.

The beginning of the film is the same as the original work by Chris Van Allsburg: One Christmas Eve many years ago, the protagonist was lying quietly in bed alone, listening to the sound of sledding outside the house. , he is at the age where he doubts the existence of Santa Claus... However, as the story progresses, the film brings the audience into an extraordinary experience. Robert Zemeckis, who has directed the live-action cartoon "Who Framed Roger Rabbit", used an advanced animation production technology called "performance capture" in "The Polar Express", and the voice actors' movements were captured. Straight into the animation. Although the film's images may not look real or fake (like the character Gollum in the "Lord of the Rings" series), they are very attractive to the audience.

As a cartoon, the character modeling in "Polar Express" is also very special. Santa Claus is not as exaggerated as people usually think. He looks more like a well-dressed professional - delivering gifts is his profession; the elves also look more like his subordinates who serve Santa Claus. When these people delivered the gifts skillfully and in tacit cooperation, the mythical atmosphere of Christmas was completely broken. This style is precisely the charm of "The Polar Express" - Santa Claus and elves do not just exist in illusory myths, but real ordinary people like us. When people stop believing in myths. "The Polar Express" is a creative movie: it is suitable for viewing in any season and is suitable for the whole family to enjoy together; it avoids the clichés of ordinary Christmas-themed movies and brings an unprecedented visual experience to the audience. The flight attendant in the film said to the children: "You really should get on the bus", and I also want to say: "You really should watch this movie."
