Despite the fact that the film, "The Nutcracker and the Four Realms," did not gain a favorable review, I still want to watch this film. I want to see what the reason is. Plus, this film looks fun to watch with my family during this winter season. At the same time, I am still excited about watching this film because of these three reasons.
1. The beautifully aesthetic costumes
The aesthetics are stunning to look at as well as the costumes. When I first look at the trailers and the posters, the costumes and the aesthetics are really what caught my eye. They are very colorful and very detailed. One can get the fairytale or fantasy like feel from these costumes and aesthetics. The costumes have the holiday, winter or Christmas feeling as well. It also brings a nice, nostalgic memory of the classic Nutcracker story that everyone knows and loves. This film has a wonderful and beautiful, visual presentation to gaze upon.
2. It's a live action film
The only film that I have watched about a nutcracker is "Barbie In the Nutcracker." Now when I first saw the trailer about this film, "The Nutcracker and the Four Realms," I was astonished about it. I want to see to how they portrayed the story of the Nutcracker, especially that this film will be live action. This time, the title of this Nutcracker film includes, "The Four Realms," which makes me wonder about these four realms and how they connect to the story of the Nutcracker. This will be another film about a Nutcracker that I will know, other than "Barbie In the Nutcracker." Will the story be the same or different from "Barbie In the Nutcracker"? Will the film be full of suspense and action?
3. There's a strong heroine
The main protagonist of this film, Clara (portrayed by Mackenzie Foy) seems to be wearing a Nutcracker outfit in the trailer. This then takes a different turn to the tale of the Nutcracker. From the looks of it, I think that this film might be totally different from the "Barbie In The Nutcracker" film. I love watching fantasy films that depict a strong heroine. Also from looking at the film's trailer, the Sugar Plum Fairy (portrayed by Keira Knightley) seems to play a bigger role in this film version of the Nutcracker.
I hope this film is better than I expected!
