观影指南:5 Things You Need to Know Before Seeing Disney's 'The Jungle Book'——观看迪斯尼的《奇幻森林》之前需要知道的5件事

1. Think 'Avatar,' Only Earthbound
联想下《阿凡达》,地球版的

The James Cameron epic is a movie Favreau has name-checked often in describing the exotic, immersive, 3D forest world he's tried to create here.
费儒努力在本片中创造了一个3D森林世界,充满异域风情,令人陶醉其中,他在描述这个世界时,常常会提到詹姆斯•卡梅隆的史诗级作品《阿凡达》。

2. This Is No Cartoon
不是卡通片

Favreau has said his film delves deeper into the Kipling stories, which means the animals are more savage and the danger to Mowgli is greater.
费儒说过,他的电影更深刻地挖掘了吉卜林的故事,也就是说,丛林中的动物更为野蛮,毛格利的处境更为险恶。

Delve v. 翻找;挖掘,探究
Eg: He delved into his pocket and brought out a notebook. 
他伸手进口袋,拿出了一本笔记本。
Eg: I think we need to delve a little deeper.
我认为我们需要再深挖下。
当表示‘调查,探究’时的SYN:Investigate, look into something, explore, probe, and be under investigation.
a) Investigate: to try to find out the truth about something such as a crime, an accident or scientific problem 
Eg: The aim of the study is to investigate how climate change is affecting animal behavior.
研究目的在于调查气候变化怎样影响动物行为的
b) Look into something: to find out more about a problem especially after someone has asked you to do it 
Eg: Please could you look into the matter for me?
你能帮我查一下这事儿么?
c) Explore: to consider or discuss something especially in order to help you decide what you should do 
Eg: I am going to explore the possibility of a part-time job.
我要好好想想做份儿兼职的可能性有多大。
d) Probe: to find out secret or hidden information especially by asking questions 
Eg: The press began probing into the actor’s private life.
媒体开始介入了那位演员的私生活。
e) Be under investigation: 特指‘调查有没有违法行为’
Eg: Several public figures are under investigation for corruption.
关于腐败的问题,已有若干名公众人物正在接受调查。

3. It's Not Just a Guy Thing
不是“纯爷们”电影

Favreau decided that the cartoon, populated almost exclusively by male characters, needed more feminine presences.
导演费儒决定,在这部大多数角色都是男性的卡通影片里,需要更多女性元素。

4. The Animals Are Zoologically Correct
片中动物完全符合动物学特征

At least Baloo (Bill Murray) is now more obviously a sloth bear, a mammal native to India, than the generic bear of the cartoon.
至少这回巴鲁熊(比尔·莫瑞配音)很明显是原产于印度的懒熊,而不是一般的卡通熊。

5. Don't Worry, Your Favorite Songs Are Still Here
别担心,你最爱的老歌还在

Baloo does get to sing "Bare Necessities" and Louie still sings "I Wan'na Be Like You."
巴鲁熊还是会唱那首《Bare Necessities》,而路易王也还会再唱《I wan'na Be Like You》。

5 Another Critic Reviews for the Jungle Book:

1. 奇幻森林是一部奇幻片,也是一部励志片;它不仅是一部童话,更像是成人世界的缩影。
2. 包裹了层层糖衣的童话总比赤裸裸的现实要来的温柔的多。
3. By the time its evolution is complete, The Jungle Book has proven itself a minor Darwinian miracle, perhaps the oddest of all species: a movie nearly devoid of human beings, yet one bursting with humanity.
那时,进化论已完成,奇幻森林可视为达尔文奇迹的映射,也许所有物种中最奇特的是这部电影没有出现人类,却处处充斥着人性。
4. A film that will be celebrated, and rightly so, as one of the year's best family films. It's the rare remake that gets things right, and Favreau makes this "Book" a genuine page-turner.
这部电影可堪称本年度最优秀的家庭电影之一。很少有再拍的作品会是弥补不足的,导演费儒成就了一部引人入胜的绝佳作品。
5. It's one of the few films in which the 3D enhancement is justified. Each scene captures the essence of each animal so vividly that children in the audience were reaching out to the screen to try to "touch" the fur.
3D效果给这部电影带来了震撼的加分,现在很少有电影可以做到如此之好。每一场景都将各个角色的特质张显得淋漓尽致,活灵活现,这让观众席中孩子们忍不住都想触碰它们的毛发。
