One day, unknown creatures descended from the sky, "parasitic beasts", which invaded the human brain through their noses and ears, and parasitized on the brain to dominate the human body. And the protagonist, high school student Shinichi Izumi, has a parasitic beast "Mickey" on his right hand, so his fate has become turbulent...... This is "Parasite" that has attracted a lot of attention recently. This work was also officially launched in a live-action movie version recently, but this work starring Someya Shota did not receive much praise. Recently, some film critics have analyzed this.

The work is simply this: a high school student maintains his sanity as a human while gaining the power of a parasitic beast. And fight against the 100% parasitic primordial humans. For this reason, the work should focus on "human nature" and maternal aspects.

And from this point of view, the failure of this movie version of "Parasite" is very obvious. First of all, there is a sense of disobedience in the actors. Specifically, the three main characters of Shota Someya, Ai Hashimoto, and Takashi Abe are not satisfactory. In particular, the heroine of the work should be a protagonist who loves her classmates and exudes the brilliance of motherhood, but this is completely invisible in Ai Hashimoto. It's very distressing. And that kind of appearance of playing with a mobile phone is not the exact opposite of the character setting, even if we know that Ai Hashimoto is a popular actor, but I'm afraid no one will think that she is suitable for the role of Satomi Murano**?

What is even more inconsistent with the style of the work is the voice of Takashi Abe, which is also the second Yan zhòng problem.

The problem is that his voice makes the work seem like a light-hearted buddymovie. To put it simply, for Shinichi, Mickey becomes a slightly quirky friend, and that's it.

Director Takashi Yamazaki said that he had read the original work thoroughly, so it seems strange. Such an arrangement is clearly wrong. In the original work, the relationship between the two is definitely not friends, but a typical "complementary symbiosis" relationship.

First of all, Shinichi symbolizes ordinary humanity, while on the other hand, Mickey is the cold law of nature. So whenever Shinichi feels that he has a resonance with Mickey, Mickey will pour cold water on him with a very cold attitude. Such plots appear frequently in the original work.

It is precisely because the two of them cannot share each other's values and cannot understand each other's relationship that they can become a strong complementary partner when the existential crisis comes. For this reason, even if the two characters can become intimate, they are measured, and the work must maintain this sense of distance. And this setting is also closely related to the emotion brought by Goto's First War at the end of the original work.

But what about in the movies? From the very beginning, the two had a very happy conversation like a husband and wife. And Takashi Abe's comedic-style voice and acting skills add fuel to the fire. For the reader, it will definitely feel sad that the movie does not understand the essence of the work at that moment, right?

Speaking of which, for boys, the right hand is very important. And now it's a disgusting creature. So the first time you encounter this kind of thing, the hero shouldn't understand the situation right away. In a bad sense, this phenomenon in the live-action version is too eye-catching. Performers can make changes to the original, but it is not necessary to show this in the film.

In addition, when Shinichi first saw the image of other parasitic beasts "eating", the reaction was also incomprehensible. He'd be there to face this kind of thing with a calm mind. Isn't that where it should be sprayed? When people encounter such a scene, they should either go weak or run away screaming, right? In any case, it is impossible to stay sane. For a protagonist who is still an ordinary person, this kind of steel-like resolute heart and calm attitude, is it Duke Dongxiang?

In addition, the plot of his first battle came too quickly, which is not good. A teenager in a peaceful environment with some waste wood would not be able to kill so lightly. You shouldn't have the desire to kill someone.

In the original work, Shinichi spent a long time before he had this state of mind. But the movie skips this process altogether, and I have to say that the acting is very problematic.

If this paragraph is normal, the first thing should be Mickey should use his overwhelming strength to kill the terrible monster. And Shinichi witnessed this scene. Then, Mickey's sheer rationalism, coolness, and wealth of knowledge completely overwhelmed Shinichi, and it was only then that he gradually transformed. This process is absolutely necessary.

As a result, at the beginning, the relationship between the two was overwhelmingly dominated by Mickey. Therefore, when Mitch says, "I myself cannot defeat this enemy", Shinichi (the reader) can feel the desperation and persuasiveness in his words. That's why in order to win, to survive, and to defend important people, Shinichi will go to war. This logic is reasonable.

But from the very beginning of the movie, there is a kind of reciprocal relationship between Shinichi and Mickey, so Mickey's words have no weight. That's the biggest problem in this movie.

Not only that, but in the movie, only Shinichi is constantly getting stronger, and unconsciously it becomes a situation where Shinichi overwhelms Mickey. In this way, Mickey has completely become an accessory for the new one, and its value is almost gone.

This movie is the first part, and it is scheduled to be released in April next year. And the first part also ended in a kind of place that is not up or down. If it is determined from the beginning that the release time is 2 hours and 45 minutes X2 long film, then it is more important to pay attention to the strengthening of the plot.

In addition, in the finale, if the direction of the original work is followed, Satomi Murano, who Ai Hashimoto plays, will have an important role. Although Ai Hashimoto is really not suitable for this role, it is also a point that we can pay attention to with strong expectations. Anyway, if the plot develops to that point, it should be the picture that belongs to the "Gongkou plot" in the shonen manga. And it is no exaggeration to say that this paragraph is the only and most important work of Ai Hashimoto in the finale.

Ai Hashimoto is a real actress with acting skills, which has also been highly praised by everyone before. In case she showed timidity, then there would be nothing to say. For director Takashi Yamazaki, he should go all out to convince this petite "big actor" and communicate well with the relevant parties. I support this from the bottom of my heart.
