節錄幾則影評，給雅琪。

It's the latest line item on Disney's bid to redo its entire animated
library, and it never feels motivated by anything other than corporate
interests. It's flat, dramatically vacant and visually inert, with a lead
performance that all too closely resembles a fish out of water.

迪士尼努力重製整個動畫庫，其最新專案就是小美人魚，而除了企業利益之外，
沒有任何其他動機。這部片扁平不立體、空虛到誇張、視覺上沒有活力，
還有主角的表演實在太如魚不得水。

That's Halle Bailey of musical duo Chloe x Halle in the lead role, and she's
in entirely over her head as Ariel, a mermaid who is enamored with the world
above sea level and wants to become human. At least that's what we're told
and we remember from the original, as Bailey occasionally smiles and bats her
eyes but is incapable of making audiences feel any emotion in her character's
journey. The 2-D animated Ariel had greater depth and more soul behind her
eyes than Bailey is able to muster.


所扮演的角色的一絲情感。比起海蠣，二維動畫裡的愛麗兒的雙眼更有深度也更有靈魂。

這篇沒有正面稱讚海蠣的聲音，只有提到讓海蠣無聲是臭棋。

It reeks of obligation and noble intentions. Joy, fun, mystery, risk, flavor,
kink — they’re missing. The movie’s saying, “We tried!” Tried not to
offend, appall, challenge, imagine.

它散發著一股義務味和崇高意涵。歡樂、樂趣、神秘、風險、味道、糾結——它們都不見
了。電影像是在說：「我們努力過了！」盡量不冒犯、不嚇人、不挑戰、不發揮想像力。

Now Ariel is in the singer Halle Bailey’s hands. And it's not that she can't
keep par with the original’s illustrators. It’s that this movie isn’t
asking her to. It takes the better part of an hour for the flesh-and-blood
Ariel to go mute. And when she does, whatever carbonation Bailey had to begin
with goes flat. This Ariel has amnesia about needing that kiss, taking “
cunning” off the table for Bailey, too.



With her sister, Bailey is half of the R&B duo Chloe x Halle. They’ve got a
chilling, playful approach to melody that Bailey can’t fully unleash in this
movie. For one thing, she’s got two songs, one of which — the standard “
Part of Your World” — does manage to let her quaver some toward the end.
But what’s required of her doesn’t differ radically from what Jodi Benson
did in the first movie. Ostensibly, though, Bailey has been cast because her
Ariel would differ. Bailey’s is Black, with long copper hair that twists,
waves and locks. Racially, the whole movie’s been, what, opened up?
Diversified? Now, Ariel’s rueful daddy, King Triton, is played by a stolid
Javier Bardem, who does all the king’s lamenting in Spanish-inflected
English. Instead of the Broadway chorines of the original, her mermaid
siblings are a multiethnic, runway-ready General Assembly.

海蠣是節奏藍調雙人組 Chloe x Halle 的半身，另一半是她姊姊。兩人合力演唱時的
旋律悠閒而且活潑有趣，但海蠣在片中無法完全展現。她有兩首歌，其一就是那首


=====
這篇對音樂的出發點還算有趣，像是對黃種人饒舌感到有點不適之類的。
然後他其實一直在替海蠣打抱不平。

Speaking of tropical seas, this is very much the Caribbean, not Denmark, like
the Hans Christian Andersen original or the vague Europe of the animated
feature. While casting Halle Bailey as a Black Ariel raised some eyebrows,
and debating the race of a character that is half fish is a task for the
bowels of the internet, transposing the action to the early 19th century in
the Caribbean is a wild choice.



The nobility all have English accents (including his Black mother, white
Prince Eric is adopted, because sure), while the locals have Caribbean
accents, drink from coconuts and play steel drums. There’s something
unintentionally hilarious to having our little Black mermaid falling in love
with a handsome Prince who talks endlessly about increasing the Caribbean
island’s trade with Portugal and Brazil because, erm… what are you trading
there, buddy?


交易啥鬼啊？

=====
下一段的第一個字就是錯字，我笑死。川頓國王的角色名變成 Titan 了～
這篇的重點是捧女主角並且說設定爛死了、太奇怪了，然後瑜不掩瑕這樣。
=====



影評真的求生欲望都很強烈。

當然，有黑人血統的的確也對海蠣更友善，即使給負評也都一定是錯不在她。

但總歸是有人努力批評女主角演技了。
