The movie starts with a female college student listening to a lecture in a college class, not a wolf walking in the forest. This routine successfully made me, who had been swiping around the bi station, stop my right hand holding the mouse. After all, I no longer want to watch a group of small animals tell stories.
This movie is very profound. Although it is just a story, it contains many themes. It's about choice, hope, freedom, and what's indispensable - love.
The great thing about a movie is that it doesn't make us guess what it's about from the beginning. Looking at the two children, I thought that the age of three was eighty. The essence is not so simple, and it is not so cliché. What’s even more thankful is that the middle of the plot development made me think about some bad things several times, but nothing like that happened. Thank goodness!
The rain and snow in the title of the movie refers to the two little werewolves born by the heroine Hua and the werewolf. Because one of them was born on a rainy night and the other was born on a snowy night, they named it directly after that weather.
Xue is the elder sister. She hated reading when she was a child. She was full of energy and liked to jump up and down. Originally thought she would want to be a wolf when she grew up.
Yu is the younger brother, he loves to read since he was a child, and looks very much like his father, thinking that he will grow up to be like his father and go to the city.
As a result, because Xue hurt human beings, he no longer dared to do harm to human beings, and was unwilling to become a wolf. And Yu was rescued by the "old gentleman" in the forest because of an accident, and he had seen lonely wolves imprisoned by humans. For captivity, for humans, his young heart probably had ripples in his heart. . Although at the beginning of the movie, I watched him read comic strips, and the wolf played the role of the bad guy, and the ending always ended badly, thinking that he would resent being a wolf. But fate is so magical, things that change fate, and the crossroads that change fate just appear here.
Shortly after the birth of these two children, the werewolf father died, due to an accident (and ignore this kind of accident). The director probably doesn't want everyone's tears to appear in this place too early, after all, tragic love stories are not what he wants to express. The werewolf father died, leaving the human mother alone to take care of the child. Wolf children are very special. They are different from humans in many ways. A mother who has no parenting experience will be overwhelmed. Fortunately, her mother is an optimist. She carries the will of the dead werewolf father, and the werewolf father left behind. Savings, savings pull these two children up.
She didn't have time to learn the secret of how any werewolf child grows up from the werewolf father's mouth, and could only explore step by step. In order to let the child grow up freely without the interference of others, she had to give up her studies, give up the wonderful city life, and go to the countryside. In order to show my mother's helplessness, and at the same time to make my mother's optimistic nature not easily wiped out or steal the show, there is one aspect of the film that stands out. It was the mother holding the rain and snow at the fork in the children's hospital and the animal hospital, hesitating and anxious.
The village where the flowers went is the village where the werewolf father left the photo. When I first arrived, I thought that strange old uncle would be a relative of the werewolf dad or something! Fortunately, the movie did not respond to my brain hole in a cliché. The mother repaired the old house little by little. She must have seen many traces of the werewolf father's growth. The height is engraved on the pillars, and the pebbles on the washbasin. It is this old house that accompanies the wolf child's childhood and spends the rest of his life with Hua.
Before coming to this village, Hua once bowed his head and told Yu and Xue, "You can choose for yourself, whether you want to be a human or a wolf in the future." , you decide for yourself. After coming to this village, in fact, I just gave the two children a chance to choose, because one side is the mountain, and the other side is the human society.
Regarding the goodness of human nature, this movie also gives a beautiful answer. Everyone in this village is a good person, including the fierce old uncle, including the neighbors who often visit, including the gossip housing agent, and the human child who was scratched by the snow - Cao Pingjun. All this gives the two children enough room to think about what they want to be and what path they want to choose.
When I wrote this article and recalled the arrangement of the film, I felt that the director was quite fair and would not favor any child. Whether it's snow or rain, they've got pretty much a big part, and -- they've all had a big turning point. The transition in between is natural.
Later, Yu was going to say goodbye to his mother, and he was going to complete the things that the "old gentleman" in the forest had not done. At this time, Hua, although she promised to let the children choose the path in the future, but when the rain really wanted to leave, she still couldn't help blocking it - because you are only 10 years old, you are not yet an adult, and your mother still Didn't do anything for you. For wolves, rain is already an adult. What impressed me most about him was that when Mother Hua finally tried to save him, he turned around and ran up the mountain without looking back. Tears almost came out of his eyes.
Snow, on the other hand, is also recognized by the first non-mother human. At this time, my brain hole became bigger again, when they stood in the mirror in front of the stairs and said that I wanted to grow up quickly. . . Well, I also had this experience when I was a child. In front of the mirror, I said to myself in the mirror, grow up quickly, grow up quickly. All this is natural.
There is nothing wrong or right in the whole movie, only the first-time mother Hua is groping, accompanying and raising two children to grow up, and the two children choose their own life path. The world is not destined, but there is hope in every path.
