纪伯伦的《先知

一个可爱的如果偶尔不均匀探索纪伯伦的史诗,这部电影是视觉上美丽的和主题上鼓舞人心的,虽然有点成熟的动画通常的年轻球迷的戏剧。哈耶克召集了九个不同的动画师先知生活,结果过于真诚的范围从可爱到让人鼓舞。框架的故事看起来更像大工作室动画,穆斯塔法遇到各种人,他温柔的智慧传授各种主题相关的好生活:婚姻、爱情、孩子、工作、死亡等等,不同的动画师解读诗歌的消息。

迄今为止最美丽的部分是“工作”,由七旬老人的艺术家琼·格拉茨的“claypainted”动画华丽捕捉的主题如何“工作就是实实在在的爱。”French animator and graphic novelist Joann Sfar directed the "On Marriage" vignette, an intimate tango that perfectly illustrates why lovers should retain a sense of self within their togetherness. The music always matches the mood: Irish crooners Damien Rice and Glen Hansard provide original songs, and Yo-Yo Ma contributed his talents to the evocative score by Gabriel Yared. As for missteps, Neeson's instantly recognizable Irish accent is miscast in the role of Mustafa, as is the character's change from a wise foreign-born teacher (in the book) to a doomed political dissident (in the movie). Kudos to Hayek for offering a way for younger audiences to connect to Gibran's words, but don't be surprised if younger kids are bored or confused by the film's philosophical musings.
