國產動畫電影《大魚海棠》熱映引起網上熱議

Big Fish And Begonia, directed by two Tsinghua University dropouts, has got the internet talking while it chases the box-office bucks.

日前，兩位清華大學輟學學生執導的《大魚海棠》票房大賣，並在網上引起一番熱議。

Even for those with little interest in cinema, ignoring the animation hit Big Fish And Begonia will be tough. Since its premiere on July 8, the film directed by two Tsinghua University dropouts is still dominating Chinese social media.

即使是對電影不感興趣的人，也很難忽視《大魚海棠》這部熱映的動畫片。自7月8日上映以來，這部電影一直是中國社交媒體的熱議話題。

Latest figures on Sina Weibo, China's largest Twitter-like service, show that posts related to the film have generated more than 3 billion clicks, and more than 2 million reviews.

中國最大的推特類社交媒體--新浪微博的最新數據表明，《大魚海棠》相關帖子的點擊量超過30億次，評論總數超過200萬。

Despite drawing praise at some international festivals, Big Fish And Begonia is receiving a polarized audience at home.

雖然一些國際電影節上對《大魚海棠》讚賞有加，但中國觀衆對該電影的觀點卻兩極分化。

To supporters, the long-awaited feature is an unprecedented creation for the values it espouses and its breathtaking landscapes. But its critics complain that a romance triangle and flat dialogues ruin the storyline.

對支持者而言，這部期待已久的電影因其倡導的價值觀和令人震撼的畫面而被稱爲史無前例的創作。但是批評者認爲，三角戀和平淡的對話破壞了故事情節。

Deeply rooted in Chinese mythology, the film is set in a wonderland that manages the human world. The fictional world is designed like tulou, a fortresslike residence in East China's Fujian province. The film opens when a lot of whales are seen slowly swimming in the sea. The narrator says the human soul is actually a fish whose journey across the ocean shows the different stages of life.

《大魚海棠》源於中國神話，故事發生在一個統治人類世界的仙界。這個虛構的世界以中國東部福建省堡壘狀的土樓爲依託。電影開始的場景是很多鯨魚在海里慢慢地游來游去。旁白說道，所有活着的人類，都是海里一條巨大的魚，他們的生命就像橫越大海，有時相遇，有時分開。

The story then focuses on a young girl from the wonderland and her love for a boy from the human world.

之後，電影講述了一個仙界女孩與人間男孩之間的愛情故事。

"China has seen few domestic animation titles that accurately showcase oriental culture and history," says Zuo Heng, an associate researcher with the China Film Art Research Center. "And, despite Big Fish And Begonia bearing influences of Hayao Miyazaki (Japanese animation master), it has done a good job in maintaining its Chinese roots."

中國電影藝術研究中心副研究員員左衡表示：“中國缺乏能夠展示東方文化和歷史的動畫電影。雖然《大魚海棠》受到日本動畫大師宮崎駿的影響，但是它也完美地維護了中國文化的根基。”
