A modern Cinderella story set in New York City's Chinatown, Year of the Fish is a classic tale retold through the eyes of a young woman struggling to find a new life in the United States. Director David Kaplan has gathered an all-star cast, filmed them in live action, and then applied an algorithmic painting technology to achieve the rotoscoped animation. The result? Year of the Fish pops from the screen like a painting come to life. This is the level of originality we've come to expect from Kaplan--Sundance audiences may remember him for short films of fairy tales reconceived in a unique style all his own.


　　Although Year of the Fish is best described as an adult fairy tale, make no mistake: this story is a deep one. It tackles the realities of immigration and the frighteningly common occurrence of young people who, desperate for a better life, fall prey to an existence as indentured servants. This dark story becomes instantly palatable when wrapped in Kaplan's lovely package--a tribute to his storytelling talent. Year of the Fish is beautiful to witness and as ironically mysterious as the American dream itself.

叶限故事的现代改编：诡异和意图令人不适的画风情景，莫名其妙的惊悚恐怖，简单令人无言的感情，明白世界上确实存在这样的鄙俗肮脏之处，但是仍忍不住引用艺术史教授的那句调侃，it is so realistic. 不过结尾向每一个人道Goodnight的情节，不知道是否有所与恶之花的呼应。

之前从来没见过的视觉风格，模拟鱼在鱼缸中观察的视角，但其实只在开头用一段就足够了，全片都是这个奇怪的滤镜感觉非常廉价粗糙；纽约中国城似乎不是一个很适合讲灰姑娘故事的语境，整部电影都充满了违和与失调——并非任何元素都可以随意混搭，配合过于realistic的视觉风格使得“wonder”的部分被完全抑制。角色除了周采芹饰演的“后妈”老鸨之外都非常丑且充斥着对China Town以及American Chinese的stereotype。配乐还不错。不过，这依然是一个很有趣的关于retelling of fairytale的样例，和唐代的叶限故事以及灰姑娘的童话均有许多可以比对参照的元素，具有学术价值但缺少艺术/审美/娱乐价值。

真心对这种风格不满意，人们愿意看卡通片是因为卡通片能把演员表达不出的表情以及做不出的动作表现出来，要么就是形象很可爱很酷。真人动画？不伦不类的，就好像是在底片上色，画色添足。

这动画渲染技术是不是和林柯莱特那个半梦半醒一样的？故事俗套，但几个反角演的很到位，让人觉得是本色演出

女主尼玛丑到爆，完全没有闪光点让男主爱上他好吗！虽然男主也不好看，但看在他入我眼的份子上就不计较了....当然，画面处理还是蛮特别的。

画面的处理有点意思，剧情也一般，最受不了的就是每次神秘老头出现时所用的那个稀奇古怪的敲锣声了。装！
