It's all because of you.

Rating: 8/10 (25 April 2020)

The scene at the end of the movie really touched me. Hiccup struggles to get out of bed and heads for the door, supported by Toothless, which has never left the room. The director deliberately places Hiccup's legs and Toothless tail in the same shot. In just a few seconds, it tells the story of two individuals whose minds, lives or bodies are all broken, who meet each other and become a complete whole. Hiccup was originally an unacceptable loser. He was out of step with the group and could not get his father's approval. People regarded him as a problem. Toothless, as no one has ever seen it before, is a Toothless creature that comes and goes, destroying its opponents in an instant, but has never been known to man. When Toothless is bound and Hiccup's eyes are raised with a butcher's knife, a relationship of belonging, mutual trust, dependence, and ultimately strength begins. This is the kind of relationship that we wait for in real life but are always hard to find. Whether it is love or friendship, they are too vulnerable to too much desire and temptation in real life. With a theme like this, "dragon" doesn't need to be accompanied by the cruelty of reality like a pixar work. It just needs to create a dream that belongs to a child, but can make an adult feel happy and even moved at the same time, and then it will be successful.
There was no ice time in "dragon" at all, and the experience was like riding Disney's most exciting theme park roller coaster, SpaceMountain, for 90 minutes of absolute entertainment in 3D glasses. This time dreamworks boldly abandoned its own specialty of parody, the few small humor throughout the film just right, fully mobilize the atmosphere and lively narrative rhythm. Character design is even more endearing, especially as Toothless looks like a pet cat or dog, with every look and action so cute that viewers can't help but laugh or even put it down. The director, Dean DeBlois, was poached by dreamworks from Disney to direct the tepid Stitch in lilo & Stitch. Toothless has a lot in common with Stitch, not just its appearance and its teeth that contract, but its ferocious but honest insides. "Dragon" is another success in the film a lot of action, special effects the art and the progress of the 3 d technology, greatly increasing the appreciation of the film, the film driving dragon flight scene stimulation of romance, and 3 d technology compared to last year's "ice age 3" or "up" is definitely improved significantly. End is a topic of accurate convey, although it is a cliche communication and understanding, love and peace has not let a person feel tired, I feel very deep in the paragraph is when everyone knows the secrets of Hiccup is still determined to continue to play a game of unnecessary and war, Hiccup, as a small individual rolling between two camps, but powerless to stop to change anything.
But the dreamworks that is good at prankery is not the pixar that can tell a story all the time, although have big progress but because did not have the cover of prankery gimmick, flaw still exposed come out. The first is that the length of the film is limited due to the 3D and film types, and only 90 minutes is not enough to show such a completely empty legend. As a result, the film's opening is too hasty and the ending is handled too hastily. All the little conventions that are hard to swallow are concentrated at the end of the film, which is far from the previous part. It also influenced the production of supporting characters. Throughout the film, there were numerous types of flying dragons and various characters of Viking pirates, but ultimately there were no other characters I remembered and loved except Hiccup and Toothless. Back in the days of wall-e, there was MO, who didn't get many screen appearances but the audience couldn't get enough of him.
The dreamworks vs. pixar war has been going on for more than a decade, and the studio has been forced to make a case at the box office against an unbeatable competitor. Now that shrek's fourth installment has come to a dead end, and last year's monsters vs. aliens failed miserably, dreamworks desperately needs another kung fu panda to prove itself. "How to train your dragon" is a wonderfully humorous and engaging film, but it still takes real innovation to compete with its bigger rivals. Unfortunately, "how to train your dragon" looks like something new, but inside it is something old, as mentioned above, even the most eye-catching protagonist, Toothless, has already been made by a director, and this time it's just a repeat of itself. Aside from shrek: the fourth installment, which was already a desperate attempt to make money, dreamworks has only how to train your dragon to rival pixar's much-hyped toy story 3 this year.
"How to train your dragon" is definitely recommended, at least for 90 minutes, it gave me a visual shock, a feeling of joy, and finally a little heart touch. For you and me, who are now under too much pressure, that's enough.
