Puss in Book: Trapped in an Epic Tale

One more week of thinking what to see on Netflix, and I still have no idea to choose. There are many comments which suggest me to watch House of Card, White Collar, etc. However, because I am a fan of the cartoon, especially I like Puss in Boots, another movie which relates to Puss is my first choice. Therefore, Puss in Book: Trapped in an Epic Tale is my movie I choose this week to write about.

Puss in Book: Trapped in an Epic Tale is an extra story following the series The Adventures of Puss in Boots. Unlike the series, this movie has a special detail: a storyteller. Books are better than movies in some ways. When we read a book, each word describing the character as well as the scene help us to have the clearest images. By using our imagination, the images will be more beautiful,  more lively, and may be more fiction. Furthermore, a storytelling in every book helps us to understand easily the meaning of the plot. However, in the movie Puss in Book: Trapped in an Epic Tale, a storyteller plays an important role in explaining what happens during the movie. He helps to have a clear purpose of what the movie is about. Without him, the watchers may be struggled a little bit in figuring out why Puss was trapped inside an Epic Tales.

Timing is another important factor which makes the movie become better. Following the plot, Puss has to find the evil Queen in order to break the spell which curses the lady. It will take Puss many months to find out the castle of the Queen. However, with the shortcut technique, a long journey which takes a few month only last a few second in the movie. Furthermore, the movie is based on some famous epic tales which are very long, and some of them take a movie to tell a whole story. In Puss in Book: Trapped in an Epic Tale with five or ten minutes each tale, the movie can easily tell several stories at once. Shortcut technique may be dangerous because if the filmmakers use it too much, it is very difficult to the audience to understand the movie. However, the filmmaker in Puss in Boots has been clever use of this technique so that the audiences could still understand the content accurately, although it includes many epic tales.

In the series The Adventures of Puss in Boots, music and visual involve a crucial role in depicting the meaning of the scene. Once again, the effectiveness of those elements continues to be promoted in this movie. After the kiss between Puss and the Queen, a romantic music is emerging. They are flying into the sky with pink clouds behind them and the hearts of love flying through them. A romantic scene is built up helps the audience to understand that they are in love with each other. At the end of the movie, the storyteller is actually Puss old enemy, a tiny white mouse. A fight between them happens. To make the battle more dramatic and repetitive,  the filmmakers make use of the intense music. With the drum and the horn, the audience will get excited to the battle and want to watch till the end.
