If Everyone since childhood knows the famous fairy tale of Hans Christian Anderson "The Little Mermaid". This story has always seemed incredibly sad to me. The story of the mermaid is tragic and full of pain and injustice. For some reason, I was always amazed by this story and seemed very interesting. On it, a wonderful Soviet cartoon was drawn, and also the fairy tale served as analogues of the creation of the Little Mermaid in Disney, only this mermaid Ariel has a happy story with a Happy Known.
The real mermaid in the history of Anderson has a sad ending. What would happen if the story of the underwater girl happened in our time? This was thought by Roxy Daisy Bloom and Matt Martin (American directors and actors are amateurs). They made an independent film called "Little Mermaid", thereby interpreting the famous fairy tale in a new way.
We see how a mermaid came from the water into the world of people. Now she has a girl's body. Who is she? How? Why won't he talk? No one knew that. A naive girl begins to explore the world of people, full of cruelty and chaos. As in a fairy tale, she meets her lover, and tragedy happens.
I was very attracted to the poster of the film, and the idea of transferring the fairy tale to our days was curious. I was very excited to see this new movie, but I didn’t like it at all. Independent fantasy with a taste of drama turned out to be lame to say the least. It looked monotonous and terribly boring. The film is extremely weak. Directing is bad, the camera work is terrible, the actors in the second roles overplay. Everything looked fake, comparable to a second-rate, completely unnecessary movie.
The main role went to the little-known actress Rosie Mac. By the way, she was the stuntwoman of Emilia Clark in "Game of Thrones". Rosie Mac has a seemingly pleasant appearance, but as an actress she is zero. She played a mermaid in the world of people falsely, without even saying a word. You don’t believe the scenes, and you give everything to playfulness. I'm sorry.
The movie is extremely doubtful, and you watch it to the end in the hope of seeing at least something interesting in the end, but the viewer except mud and something second-rate and low-quality in this little-known film, nothing awaits.
"The Little Mermaid" is an American, dramatic fantasy of 2016. Do not buy into the enticing advertising of the interpretation of a famous fairy tale. The film is bitter and unnecessary, resembling a headache.
I tell him no.
