Not matter what you raise, you need to pay for affection. It would be simple to become a great friend with your cat or your dog you raised, but how about raising an ET or dragon?How to Train Your Dragon is a great appreciated film in 2010. DreamWorks do not take a violate action to make this film as to Shrek but give us deep emotion this time.
This 3D animation is edited according to Children fiction from English writer Cressida Cowell. The story happens in Pirate Country in North Europe and fire dragon world and narrates a group pirates lives on hunting fire dragons and is proud in fighting and killing fire dragons. A great chief has a son who is very week and imaginative named Hiccup. His work is just making weapons for warriors with his teachers in a room. However, Hiccup believes he can do some great thing and try to make a plan to become famous. The more his father distrusts him, the more he try to get approve from his father. He make a big slingshot and shot the strongest dragon Night Fury in the fighting. Night Fury has great speed and strong destruction power. But nobody see its face before. And this time Hiccup tie it with his slingshot.
Hiccup try to kill Night Fury but giving up and release it finally. And this make a rare story of human and dragon. As Night Fury lost a wing, it cannot fly in balance and is trapped on a lake surrounded by stones. In order to solve the trouble, Hiccup give Night Fury a artificial wing to make it be able to fly again. And they become great friend after that. Hiccup named Night Fury a funny name- Toothless.
However, Hiccup has being sent to training class for killing dragon. Warriors is planning on attacking dragons nestles. As time goes by, Hiccup realize that it is fault relationship between human and dragon now. They can establish friendship without fighting and attacking.
From here, the stroy is like he human and dragon version Avatar, Pocahontas, Sauvez Willy or ET the Extra-Terrestrial. Some critics said that this story combines mystrial culture of Kung Fu Panda, driving dragon action of Avatar and deep spirit of Lilo & Stitch together. The concept of communication and understanding to contribute harmony living of different races has been told thousands of times. Drama is just put the prototype in different scene.
And why How to Train Your Dragon is fantastic? Because it is with smooth and compact plot, suitable but not over-active humor, funny design, grand fly and fighting screen and touching emotion as pure communication and trust between human and animal. Expectance, dispointment, forgiveness, encouragement and regain relationship between father and son in this film turn to be deep and thoughtful. DreamWork make a main-stream film. Compare with How to Train Your Dragon, Alice in Wonderland just has visual special efficacy without raising sympathy from audience.
There is also love and friendship in this film. It is romantic when young adventure take his loving girl driving dragon flying to the sky. It is a dream to human to fly in the sky freely just like that.
