Hello hello! Hearing people. Welcome to this video where we will learn about '15 Curiosities of Wish Dragon' The film was released in June 2021 on the Netflix platform. However, it had had its theatrical release 5 months earlier in China. Its direction was in charge of Chris Appelhans, who had never directed anything, but worked in the art and animation department of films such as: 'Monster House', 'Coraline' and 'Rise Guardians'. The cartoon that Din and Lina saw in their childhood is very appropriate for the time and place in which it is set, since it is 'Journey to the West: Legends of the Monkey King'. An animated series from the late '90s considered a classic of Chinese animation. During their childhood, when Din and Lina are playing with the comet, it unexpectedly lifts them up and they end up going through several roofs before finally crashing. This being a harbinger of what would end up happening years later with the royal dragon. Not to mention that his kite was the exact same color. If you notice, during the sequence in which we see Din delivering the domplins , we are shown juxtapositions with the billboards and what we see around us, that is, we are placed with 2 people of different status in very similar positions, generating this contrast between what is usually aspired against reality. However, it also seeks to reflect the film's message about how luxury and riches can never be compared to the pleasure of helping or being with your loved ones. - "Sorry for the laughter but I'm only laughing because that's the stupidest thing I've ever heard." It is also worth mentioning that in the city we see some parodies of brands like Gucci, Arman... and even the Potato Phone, obviously parodying the iPhone, but we also see real brands like Ray-Ban, which sells sunglasses, and Jaguar, a company Jackie Chan participated in this film, he was one of the producers, in addition to giving voice to the dragon in the Mandarin version And regarding the voice in Latin Spanish, it was made by Pepe Toño Macías, popularly known for giving voice to Deadpool, Captain America, and a host of characters - "And you, sir... You're my master! So... Order now." The name of the dragon is Long Zhu which comes from Mandarin and means Wish Dragon, the title of the film, also translated as The Dragon of Wishes Almost always when there is a group of 3 friends, brothers or allies... Each one follows a pattern that characterizes him, and that is that there is one that is very thin, another that is very short, and another that would be the most corpulent of the group, this serves to generate a contrast between the characters and that they can be easily differentiated. this movie with the group of villains, of course, curiously, it ends up being inverted at the end when the short character ends up wishing he had long legs - “shrimp...chips” During his tour of the city Long Zhu discovers his love for shrimp chips Shrimp Chips, in English, and these really do exist and are very popular in Southeast Asia.For a moment Din claims that once there was a traffic jam that lasted 3 weeks, and although Din only says it to provoke the dragon there is some truth in this. And it is that in China the roads have become congested to this extent, even in 2010 many drivers had to spend up to 10 days on the highway. Don't ask me how they managed to go to the bathroom. When Din attends her friend's party we see that there is an ice sculpture of her head. I don't know about you... but she seems very similar to Violeta to me, but that's not the point, the interesting thing is that when Tina finds out that her father didn't attend her birthday , Din tries to distract the viewers and ends up throwing the ice sculpture in the air And just at that moment you can see how the sculpture is melting right in the eye. Representing the tears of sadness that Lina was having for what had happened. The film has been considered by many as a copy of Aladdin since there are several scenes that are very similar. However, let's also remember that the story of 'Aladdin' is in the public domain, as well as 'The Little Mermaid' or 'Cinderella'. That is to say, any study can make their version of the story and that does not mean that they are copying the mouse. Also, it's not something they're hiding either. The director himself said that he wanted to reinvent the classic story of Aladdin, adapting it to the present. And having a different approach, since as you will notice the film is called Wish Dragon, and this is because the story and character development falls on the dragon. He is the one who changes, he is the one who has to learn the lesson, which is why it is not the story of Din, another Aladdin, but the story of the genie inside the lamp. Pockets, the villain, tries to grab the kettle and wish that everything he touches turns to gold, this is known as the Midas touch, based, of course, on the king with the same name because of his desire for wealth he wished that everything his hands touched would turn to gold which ended up being a curse. And pockets ends up being the cause of his own death, just like a Disney villain, although it should be noted that Din gave him a little push. In the beginning, Long's teapot is made of Jade, representing his greedy nature and how he valued wealth above all else, but in the end, when he has learned his lesson, his teapot becomes white porcelain, thus symbolizing , that his soul has been cleansed of his greed. The film has received mixed reviews, some highlighting it as a very good reinvention of 'Aladdin'. Adapted to our times and quite entertaining. While others see her as a blatant copycat that ends up being predictable and unmemorable. But… What is your opinion? Have you seen it? What do you think about it? When the director was asked if it is true that there will be a sequel, he responded with these emojis, a somewhat ambiguous answer, but most likely yes, only that the project is still in a very early stage to confirm it. I mean, it may even be cancelled, so for now it's best not to reveal anything, but at least we know there's a chance we'll see the dragon again, and of course, his shrimp chips. If you liked the video, let me know by giving it a thumbs up and sharing it with your friends. I also want to thank the members who have supported the channel. And before I go, I send a big hello to… And well, that's all. Thank you very much for coming this far and I hope you liked it. Bye now.
