尼斯湖水怪真相用英语写作文

Answer 1

      The Water Horse could conjure up comparisons to Eragon for the egg-hatching-into-a-creature moments (Crusoe does look a lot like Saphira the dragon as a baby). But unlike Eragon, this movie is set in reality. Taking place in Scotland but filmed largely in New Zealand, the only thing of fantasy here is Crusoe. And that’s quite enough.       Newcomer Alex Etel is perfect in the role of Angus. The supporting cast of Emily Watson as Angus’ mother, Anne, and Ben Chaplin as a mysterious handyman who may or may not be a spy brought a depth to the film that adults will appreciate. You feel the concern Anne has for her children growing up in a troubled time of war, especially for withdrawn Angus who counts the days until his father comes home. To make matters worse, the Allied forces sets up camp on their property, making it impossible for this mother to shelter her children from it.       It isn’t hard to believe a creature like Crusoe could actually exist, except for in one scene involving Angus riding on Crusoe’s back. How the boy manages to hold onto the animal’s slippery neck as they dive into the water and swim the depths of the Loch (not to mention how Angus held his breath for that long) is harder to believe. Children will eat it up.

Ultimately, like the good-old Disney movies of our childhoods, The Water Horse delivers on all levels. Sure, the plot was as predictable as the creature was cute.      There’s the typical black tie dinner ruined by creature mayhem, and a lot of angst over the water horse’s safety, but that’s exactly the way we want a movie like this. The Water Horse is a delightful romp through a child’s dream come true, sure to please the whole family.
