美丽人生影评小美人鱼被骂成这样活该吗
《小美人鱼》首日票房仅300万，中美同步上映的成绩堪称灾难。抱着零期待入场，反倒看出了新意。它绝不是偷懒的翻拍之作，而是主创们试图注入新内核，某种程度上也确实做到了。但终归，它还是太天真了。在一个全面下行的年代里，天真过了头，就成了装傻。
01《小美人鱼》卖得差，这早在意料之中。毕竟较之此前的“动改真”，无论《狮子王》《阿拉丁》还是《美女与野兽》，《小美人鱼》的知名度都要差很多；再加上选角风波的影响，“煤人鱼”的形象又劝退了一波反正确人士。而且这次“反正人”们又有了新说辞：我不是嫌她黑，而是嫌她丑。翻译过来就是：我不是歧视种族，我只是歧视容貌而已。但本质上，两者没啥区别，无非都是以偏概全，把成见当洞见。这根本就不是评论，而只是在扣帽子。而帽子一旦扣上，也就没法继续聊了。
因为帽子的目的就在于盖棺论定，拒绝打开新的讨论。所以，评论《小美人鱼》，得先摘掉这两顶帽子，才算开始。那麼，《小美人魚》究竟如何？我的評價是：“新”有余，但“真”不足能看出來主創們在刻意求新，要把一個老故事拍出當代性，但最後效果卻像是古董做新，只是显假了。
首先，我不同意有些人的說法，這個版本只照搬了89動畫版的劇情，並非如此，比起89版，本片做了兩處關鍵改動。一處是在愛麗兒的人魚女王死因問題上，她們將這個死亡算在於人間頭上了，這個改變雖然很小，但是讓海底世界與陸地世界的人類關係發生本質性的變化。
原來動畫版裡面，由於恐懼食物鏈焦慮，即海洋生物害怕被捕撈和食用，所以對於人类充滿恐懼。但到了現實版，這種恐懼已經提升到憎恨的地步，不僅私怨，而且還是一種國家間怨恨和仇恨的情緒，這無疑大大加深了兩者間隔阂，並為愛麗兒追求她的男孩提供了一個更大的障礙。
第二處改動，在於對人間世界細節描繪不限。在動畫版本中對此方面描繪較少，但這次的現實版本則將亞歷克王子的所屬島國描繪為一個封閉的帝國，那里的統治者拒絕向外看，更視海洋世界為潛在威脅，因此陸地居民流傳著各種关于海洋生物吃人的傳說，使他們不再向往遠方，而是龜縮原地。
這兩處改動，使原本純粹的愛情童話具有更多現實感具体來說，本片其實拍的是一個「後全球化時代呼籲全球共同體」的童話，它講述的是由於兩位年輕人的相遇而打破冰山的一段故事—that is, a story of two closed-off empires reconnecting through the love between two young people. This makes the film's theme more universal and relevant to contemporary issues.
The film also highlights the importance of acceptance and understanding between different cultures and species. The main characters, Ariel and Eric, come from different worlds but find common ground in their shared values and interests. Their love story serves as a metaphor for the need for global cooperation and understanding in today's world.
However, despite its noble themes, the film falls short in its execution. The plot relies too heavily on convenient coincidences and contrivances, such as Ariel's ability to breathe underwater without any explanation or Eric's sudden decision to open up his kingdom to outsiders.
Moreover, the film perpetuates harmful stereotypes about women and their roles in society. Ariel is depicted as a naive and submissive character who sacrifices her own desires for love while Eric is portrayed as a strong-willed leader who must be convinced by others to do what is right.
In conclusion, while "The Little Mermaid" has some interesting ideas worth exploring, it ultimately fails due to poor storytelling choices that undermine its message of acceptance and cooperation. It remains an entertaining but flawed adaptation that could have been improved with more attention paid to character development and historical accuracy.
