When you stroll in the museum, you must have had a similar whimsy: Will the static ancient figures and animal specimens suddenly move out of their fixed positions and rejuvenate the once dry body? Yes, all this will be realized through fright night in the Museum, making it a childish daydream. As director shawn levy described it, "People just have this strange perception. When you pass a portrait, you will feel that the eyes in the painting have been following you ... and then you will feel a little nervous, but at that time, everything is incredibly real. As a filmmaker, sometimes he is more like a magician. The only thing to remember is that nothing is impossible in the silver world. "
The idea of this film comes from a story book drawn by Croatian illustrator Milan Trenc for children ... Hollywood, which has never let go of any good story, bought the film adaptation right of the story book early, so this holiday film should be in the Christmas atmosphere, and the producer trio behind it has accumulated a lot of experience in this respect because of the success of the film version of Harry Potter series.
When I was a child, I also had the idea of hiding in the museum before it closed. I am happy to imagine whether the museum will be as lively as in Toy Story when it is dark. Can a model specimen with only thick lines in the dark really move? Larry Daley, the protagonist in the story, is such a visionary. He believes that "dream" is a unique belief of human beings, but he lacks enough confidence in himself. He is a visionary who has many ideas but stops.
How to make such an illustrated story of putting children to sleep look funny and not naive on the big screen? What happened on Larry's first night in the museum became the most important factor, because "shortening time" is the best means to create a sense of urgency in movies. Here, director shawn levy specially selected the statue of Teddy Roosevelt as a special role in the film, and also extracted many classic quotations that Roosevelt once said-you will feel that the soul of the American president is still wandering in the real world.
In addition, shawn levy also joined many childish quarrels among those "magical creatures", and the originally terrible prehistoric animals also had a lovely side. Big does not necessarily pose a threat. On the contrary, those small and naive creatures are a bit weird, and they are the key targets to guard against ... Of course, the film not only wins with dazzling stunts, but also extends the meaning: Larry, like all fathers living at the bottom of society, wants his son to worship himself like a hero-discussing the gap and emotion between father and son seems to be very popular in Hollywood recently.
