The heroine's growth experience is sometimes dignified by the dark clouds of war, such as the death of family and friends because of their involvement in the revolution; These are also the two main sources of resonance for viewers in the film - the former evokes collective memories of civil war and unrest; the latter evokes individual memories of personal childhood upbringing.
Among them, the former accounts for a larger proportion, because controversial topics such as political persecution, identity, and women's rights are, after all, the biggest concern of the film (or its original comics) that has aroused international repercussions. However, the achievement in this point alone may be regarded as a relatively rare innovation for a cartoon, but if you look at it more broadly, these topics have been discussed over and over again in recent decades, and they have been continuously seen in All kinds of media, from literature to film and television - the list of successful examples is endless: they have won awards in various fields for them. Therefore, the beauty of this film is not only that it hits the controversial topic, nor how profound and unique the analysis of the topic is, but that it uses a simple and digestible presentation method, so that the old, young, women and children can smoothly Watch the full movie and feel what you're thinking - this is undoubtedly close to the limit of what an animated film can carry.
All the complexities of the external world are finally projected onto the heroine's inner world. Her confession, her attitude, and her cognition basically controlled the development of the film. Although she has experienced many twists and turns and grief at a young age, she is also straightforward and reckless like all children, and she also makes mistakes that all young people make. She has fought, she has been helpless, she has hesitated, she has pretended - but in the end she has decided to break free, to try to be what she looks like, and to pay the price for her freedom (whether it is reliable or not). This seems to be the life attitude of a director/writer who has the same experience, and it is also a refinement of the spirit of the whole film---it does not seem to be grand. But no matter how severe the environment is, personal happiness can never be measured from a macro perspective. It can only be achieved by personal will, except for the unpredictable will of God. In your life, you will encounter many neuroses, and if they pity you, you straighten your spine and hit them back.
