"The Chronicles of Garder" is the work of American science fiction writer Esula Le Guin. Le Guin refused all invitations to make this film film, but in the early years he publicly stated: "Only Hayao Miyazaki Only then can this novel be turned into an animation.” At that time, Hayao Miyazaki was busy making "Howl's Moving Castle", so the adaptation work was assigned to Wu Lang.

Regarding the first challenge to the role of animation director, Wu Lang said that he was opposed by his father at first, but he said that he has confirmed his enthusiasm for animation in his heart and is confident that he can handle the work of director.

      Tales from Earthsea--Movies That Make Me Doze Off

      Because it is Ghibli's work (whether it is Son or Laozi), if it is produced by other products, it can pass. The battle between the two dragons at the beginning is a symbol of life and death, as well as the echoes of light and darkness. The most serious of all issues is life and death. If you touch it accidentally, it is also related to the life and death of the work. Unfortunately, the film gives the impression of the latter. The lines and lines of this theme are obviously not ready for...

      A film for growing children

      After watching the entire film from start to finish, I was very moved. The first half is indeed attracted by the suspenseful storyline and soundtrack, and there is an urge to watch it.
             I was really moved step by step from the part where the girl sang. The song sings the unknown loneliness and anxiety that every child who grows up has. They don't know where these unease come from, but they have been troubled by it, and they don't know how to deal with it, so they are suffering. I...

      Come on, dear!

      how to say?
      The first half was cloudy and foggy, but the latter was finally better.

      The director finally said what he wanted to say. After all, it was the first thing that he did independently.
      Tiger father has no dog son, I believe his later works will get better and better.

      There is also the feeling that the dubbing engineer has no emotion when he speaks, especially the dubbing of Sparrowhawk.
      I always feel like I'm reciting lines dryly, and the lines in...

      Everyone just expects too much

      There are a lot of people who are also copying what they say, plus the original author's words, making the film's evaluation worse than it itself.
      For one, his scenes are all Ghibli's consistent style, so there's not much to say.
      Second, if you don't read the original book, but watch this animation as an animated film alone, its meaning is very profound, and it can basically empathize with people.
      There's a reason for that. I was only ten years old when I first watched Battle of...

      I really watched it for half a year. . . I just watch it for a few minutes every time I am speechless and want to complain. I want to see how Miyazaki's son is capable, but in the end I can only give two stars. ....

      The most scumbag work produced by Ghibli, I don't understand the meaning of the hero and heroine killing a dragon and their father respectively in the opening scene, and I don't understand the existence of such a bug as the heroine. Why do you need a mage and a hero? To quote the original author: "I regret the transpacific anger and disappointment that arose in the making of the...

      The picture is very ordinary, the story is old-fashioned and limited to some parts of the film, so it's completely clueless. As the original author himself said to the film: "The film does not have the exquisiteness and detail of "My Neighbor Totoro", or the grandeur and beauty of "Spirited...

    Movie plot

    In the "Earth Sea" in the world of multi-island seas, "dragons" live in the West, and "people" live in the East. But the dragon living on the other side of the west suddenly appeared in the eastern sea where humans lived and killed each other. Starting from this, various mutations have occurred all over the world. The balance of the world is disintegrating. The archmage "Ged" (also known as: Sparrowhawk) embarked on a journey to find...
