Nimona Video Mp4 Download Movie
A disgraced knight, unjustly blamed for a murder, joins forces with an outcast teenage girl. He hopes to clear his name. She just wants to cause some chaos. And she’s well equipped to do so: Nimona (voiced by Chloë Grace Moretz) is a shape-shifter. She can effortlessly morph from rhino to eagle, whale to mouse. She is sparky fun: an irreverent antihero with a talent for destruction. Unfortunately, she’s also the very monster that the knight, Ballister Boldheart (Riz Ahmed), has been trained to kill..
A medieval-futurist fantasy world, in which gleaming tower blocks are topped with a castle’s crenellations; in which knights in armour defend the realm with hi-tech swords that double as laser guns: the backdrop to the Netflix animation Nimona, adapted from a graphic novel by ND Stevenson, is as striking and distinctive as the film’s animation style. Nodding to the graphic simplicity of mid-century illustrators like Eyvind Earle, the film subverts the expected use of colour: Ballister and Nimona’s lair is drenched in the traditionally villainous hues of red and black. And let’s just say that those wearing white are not necessarily the heroes.
While the themes – misunderstood monsters, fear of difference and the unknown – are familiar, there’s an underlying message that sets the film apart. Ballister is gay; he is in a relationship with another knight, Ambrosius (Eugene Lee Yang). And Nimona as a character is defined by the fact that she needs to transition. It’s a rambunctious adventure, certainly. But it’s also a film that argues for tolerance and LGBTQ+ acceptance….
Nimona” takes a few minutes to kick in, unsure quite how to treat Ballister. He’s a lower-caste queer kid who was the first person from humble origins to be selected for the conservative-minded Institute’s (co-ed) knight program, which ought to be empowering. Since this isn’t Earth exactly, but a mashup realm where swords and armor coexist with laser cannons and Jumbotrons, it’s not entirely clear whether the humans here have the same hang-ups that American society does. For instance, it looks like no big deal that Ballister and fellow knight Ambrosius Goldenloin (Eugene Lee Yang) are a couple — at least, they were until the latter lopped off his boyfriend’s arm in the melee surrounding the queen’s assassination…
After the incident, Nimona finds Ballister sulking alone and suggests they team up. The ex-knight (now sporting a bionic limb) wants to clear his name, while Nimona hopes she can convince him to just tear it all down. In a sense — and this is what’s smart about the movie — she sounds the way Generation Alpha must to most adults: Nimona’s hip and impulsive.
