The US emperor likes oriental elements! Especially the strong inclusiveness of Japanese culture in art.
Although the title is two-stringed piano, it is actually a three-stringed piano, which is the traditional Japanese instrument shamisen that we are very familiar with. The tone is quiet and pure, simple and melodious, and even the modern style cannot conceal its classical charm.
The artistic height of the stage of performing arts in the town is indeed higher than that of the underground game of "Super Marines". Because of the superb creation at the beginning and the softness of the second half, the whole film gives people a feeling of anticlimactic, a sense of castration, and a limitation in production.
Notice! I'm about to turn around! That's right, it's a stop motion animation!
If you don't tell you it's a stop-motion animation, you won't see it, just like me. Just like that sentence, only after you keep your eyes on it for more than ten seconds, you can realize what a highly detailed animated film this is. Especially from the much smaller Leica animation studio. If you understand the difficulty of stop-motion animation and the production process of animated films, then you will also understand as thoroughly as I do that the limitations of production are so excusable. Because Laika animation has presented a sufficiently exciting work to the audience. Although the second half is slightly lacking in strength, the rhythm of the whole film almost falls into the urine point from time to time. But every time when the pee point is about to be picked up, I will always be pulled back calmly and gently by the beautiful pictures, the delicate feelings of the characters or the funny jokes. I have to say, the amazing director.
This is a slightly regrettable and comfortable film, and a film that cannot bear to be harshly demanding. It has enough amazing parts for you to appreciate.
Letting go is sometimes more important than acquiring, because the shackles are in the endless craving.
If you must blink, do it now!
