At first glance, I was not interested in the title. After all, this story from "Arabian Nights" has long been popular. In that year, Disney's classic animation was popular all over the world, and even three-year-old children knew the story of this magic lamp. Although the classic animation stories have been refurbished and remade one after another, this film is not a big signboard like Disney, and there are not many things to watch when making a movie again.

Although this work is called Aladdin and the Magic Lamp, it is not the real story of Aladdin. How can I say it? Just like the classic fantasy movie Princess Bride, grandpa told a story to his grandson in the movie, and described a fairy tale of a prince and a princess to the audience in this way. During this period, a little guy interrupted grandpa from time to time and said that something was unreasonable. Then grandpa improvised, explained or adapted the story on the spot, and finally became a happy fairy tale with spoof nature and imaginative imagination.

This film is actually two little X-rays. Originally, they were supposed to pretend to be Santa Claus and steal things, but they were pestered by a group of children to tell stories. As a result, the protagonist made up Aladdin's story, adding spice to it. Unexpectedly, the more they made it up, the more attractive it became, and the more people talked about it. During this period, they tried to run away several times and made up a random ending, but they couldn't resist Xiong Haizi's insistence.

? So this super-adapted version of Aladdin's story appeared in the film. By the way, the Chinese translation of this film is very appropriate. Compared with the story in Arabian Nights, only Aladdin and the magic lamp are preserved in this film.

Compared with the French comedy we are familiar with, Aladdin and the Magic Lamp has similarities and differences.

Let's talk about the differences first. The comedy form of this film is probably a kind of "impromptu comedy", which is similar to the comedy mode often used in variety shows such as saturday night live or some talk shows. This comedy has a more well-known name called "postmodernism". Yes, in terms of expression style, this adapted version of Aladdin's story is just like the model of A Chinese Odyssey after The Journey to the West's drastic adaptation. Based on the original, but not limited to the specific route of the original, the content is unconstrained, the lines are "shaking the burden", the jokes are constant, and the sense of drama is strong.

? Note that "acting out" here is not derogatory, and the purpose of the film is to create a large number of inappropriate "acting out" feelings and achieve comic effect through contrast. For example, the bridge between ancient fashionable words and fashions in The Legend of Wulin is so "postmodern".

A fairy tale of a thief and a princess, on the basis of platitudes, the effect presented by the film is that it almost ignores the story structure, completely puts exaggerated, absurd, headless, and strong sense of crossing into the work, and deduces all mockery to the extreme eccentric humor. A garrulous prime minister, a king who loves money, a princess who draws touching pictures, a lamp god who loves to tell cold jokes and has a poor brain, and a number of MV shows are attached. Except Aladdin, all the characters are exaggerated to the extreme, which is the biggest stunt of the film.

? The greatest feature of French comedies is to bring their grim humor into full play, whether it is the familiar introverted banter comedy by Louis Frey Ness (Escape from Danger) or the exaggerated nonsense comedy by alain chabat (Cleopatra's Mission). The protagonists in the film are all cold-faced comedians, that is to say, no matter how style and wonderful farce, the role of the film will always be the kind of "laughing without laughing+spitting".

The characters who are out of tune with the overall style, such as Aladdin in this film, are placed in an exaggerated and funny environment. Through this contrast, coupled with the gag dialogue, it is the most laughable point of this film.

On this basis, Aladdin and the Magic Lamp teased a fairy tale that we all know with French exquisite and romantic humor, presented it to the audience in the form of storytelling, and of course finally fell back to reality itself.

? If you can watch this movie when you are happy, it's still good. If you watch it when you are unhappy, you feel happy again. Isn't it good that the movie can do this?
