      The Boy and the Beast--The Journey of the God-hidden Boy

      Toshi Jin has passed away, Hayao Miyazaki is about to retire, and I am most looking forward to Makoto Hosoda, except for Takahata Isao, the great friend, Oshii Mori, and Shinkai Makoto. Although none of the first three works of the master made me feel excited and bloody, Mamoru Hosoda's delicate expression of relatives' fetters and full of vitality made me have to love this work, a kind of beautiful...

      "Disappointing" Mamoru Hosoda

      The previous very interesting setting, the plot suddenly procrastinated in the middle, but the exquisite pictures and shocking music cover up this shortcoming, I feel that the father who wrote Lian at the beginning should not be a good person, and suddenly washed white, it seems that Lian has always been hypocritical. In fact, at the beginning, Lian was abandoned by the human world and lacked acceptance by monsters. This confrontation between the two worlds should be emphasized more. Why humans...

By chance, he encountered the monster Xiong Toru (voiced by Koji Koji) who came to the world by chance to find a disciple. The master of the monster world (voiced by Masahiko Tsukawa) is about to be reincarnated as a god, and the candidate to take his place will be between Zhuwangshan (voiced by Shanlu Hehong) and Xiong Che, but there is no direct...

      Ghost hitting the wall and ghost painting

      I always thought it was a comic book movie, but I didn't find out until I checked it after the movie was over. It turned out to be a story written by the director himself, but I was more shocked that the director of this cartoon did not make any anime dramas, but all the Every animated film produced has the visual sense of XX's "theatrical version", which should be considered a kind of skill!
      The only thing worthy of praise for this movie is his setting. He changed a story that was almost...

      Even if Hayao Miyazaki retires, Japanese animation is fine. After all, the era of Mamoru Hosoda has come. At the end of the film, Xiong Chehuajian will always live in Jiutai's heart, too tearful. ....

      Under the reputation, but Erer's over-acclaimed work can get full marks for the picture and sound effects. I always feel that something is wrong with the plot... The second half of the picture directly changes the style of the heart sword or something... And the male protagonist, you give the red rope that the girl gave you to the male second Is it really good... The tears are all concentrated on Daddy Bear, and I feel that no one can surpass Xia...

      It is estimated that at the beginning of this series, Mamoru Hosoda entered a period of hesitation. Mamoru Hosoda has been fond of subtraction since "The Birth of the Roller Beast", which only has one piece of Borrell, including his shadowless Dafa performance skills. This is the first time he has written the script himself. However, this one actually subtracts the character building and emotional description. In fact, it is to cut down his own strengths and put in the big scenes of the movie...

    Evaluation action

    "The Boy and The Beast; Bakemono no Ko; The Monster's Child" is a lot more entertaining than Mamoru Hosoda's previous works, and the music and pictures have maintained a consistently high level. The picture of this film corresponds to the overall plot, which is slightly dark at first, but becomes bright and brisk as the plot changes. The details of the painting are also well represented. In the fighting scenes in the play, the fighting...

    Movie quotes

    • Kaede: You know what? I've been asking myself something. "Why am I holding Ren's hand and running away with him? Here I am, scared to death, so why am I doing it? Then I remembered something. How incredibly happy I was when we first met and we started studying together. I mean, there's nobody else who enjoys studying as much as you. When I'm with you, it gives me the courage to keep going too. And right now, it's the same. Ren, if you're going to fight, then I'm staying with you. Don't forget, neither of us is ever fighting alone.

    • Kaede: Everyone of us carries that darkness equally. Ren carries it, and so do I. But I'm still struggling as hard as I can, even now. That's why there's no way Ren can lose to you who were so easily swallowed by the darkness. There's no way we're going to lose!

    • Kumatetsu: Kyuta thinks he can stand on his own two feet already, but really he still needs someone to help him. I may be small-time chump, but I'm still gonna help him. I'll make up for what's missing inside his heart. That's the one thing this small-timer can still do!
