David Yates Harry Potter E I Doni Della Morte: Parte 2

@Panapp: to be honest, apart from the first 2-3 chapters (those with a clearly more childish tone), I place all the other films (except, perhaps, Er Calice, which seemed to me the most successful one) on the same medium-low level. The problem, as I’ve already mentioned, isn’t really the undeniable incompetence of Yates or the unquestionable foolishness of the actors, but rather the material impossibility of containing all the narrative delusions of the last chapters within two hours of film. Moreover, I think the choice to focus more on sentimental aspects rather than strictly narrative ones is, all things considered, correct, at least from a commercial perspective. Over time, the "occasional" viewers have gradually diminished (who watches the 4th chapter of a 7-part saga if they are not already a fan), leaving only the die-hard fans who, obviously, already know what would happen in terms of pure plot (e.g.: the death of Dumbledore). If you also consider that to fully adapt a book like The Half-Blood Prince would require more than a whole episode of Super Quark, I’d say the only way to keep interest alive is to tap into the natural voyeurism of the readers. Given the box office returns, I would say the experiment has been successful. :)

The quality of the films is not up for discussion (even though Er Calice de Foco was, all things considered, sufficient and there was something to save in Er Principe), but the story of the 10 years is what I don't understand. Did they have to make a film every 3 months to get through 7 books (published, coincidentally, over 10 years) in a year and a half? Or were they supposed to stop the saga after the 4th? I don’t understand...

"Personally, the fact that after 10 years they are still going on with this saga makes me feel a bit weird and I find it somewhat pathetic." But what does it mean?!?!??!?

I'll see him in the next few days. Let's say that after Part 1, I don't expect much: the first half confirmed the fears of many, namely the absolute impossibility of translating onto film the chaos of subplots and the jumble of characters that has become the HP of the last 2-3 books. Very simply put: there was too much on the table for the novels, let alone for films. The last chapter of the literary saga is itself narratively very weak: exhausting during the flight of the three, confusing and disappointing in the part of the final showdown, almost embarrassing in the cotton candy epilogue. Even Rowling at a certain point was no longer able to manage and streamline the enormous narrative architecture she had built herself: it was unthinkable that screenwriters of one (or two) films could succeed. Of the entire cinematic saga, only the first two will be remembered, easily recyclable as kids' afternoon movies on Italia 1, and that little mouse of Emma Watson.

@Gnagnera: they were the I-Zenborg! Great cartoon: maybe the creators took it a bit too far with the story that they could stay united for a maximum of 3 minutes and 30 seconds, but otherwise it remains of sublime ignorance. Among other things, the theme song of the I-Zenborg was part of that large group of super funky theme songs from the late '70s that are so stylish that to play them you must absolutely wear those ultra-tight bell-bottoms with the waist up to your armpits like at Studio 54. The best in the genre, however, remains that of Voltus 5:

Finished reading this week. Everything as expected: too much meat on the fire to be cooked properly in a single book. Too many things remain unresolved, just as many are hastily wrapped up. Too many expectations (the wrought iron box that Colombino wears around his neck above all) are disappointed. I'm sorry to say, but the game isn't worth the candle.

The problem with Daitarn is the ending: the worst in the history of the world. Very sad. Very shabby. In 10 seconds, you wrap up a thousand episodes and 7 million meganoids sent to the slaughter. Rather: I have only a vague memory of a big robot shaped like a football player that, when it transformed or did something like that, went: "MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM ....... MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM....." and became bigger. Not that it drove me crazy; it's just that as a kid I couldn't understand how the transformation worked, and maybe today, at over thirty years old, I can see the light...

In the meantime, I racked my brain and remembered the cartoon that I had really lost my mind over: Macross. More specifically: Robotech, which was the American version of Macross. God, it wasn’t just the fighters, it wasn’t just the giant robots... there were the fighters that transformed into giant robots!! And there was the incredible opening theme. And then there was a bit of hotness. And then there was the melodrama of the brother dying. And then there was the nerd who became cool and ended up with the girl who had dumped him, while banging the more experienced one. I would have given up my Super Nintendo for a fighter that transformed into a giant robot!

And the same goes for the Knights: the idea of loyalty doesn't apply here. Watching all the episodes of the Knights is beyond human capabilities. That is to say: tournament + recovery of the Sagittarius armor + 12 houses + Asgard + Neptune equals at least 6,000 episodes. I've almost made it, but I've been at it since '91...
