In fact, I have always felt unspeakable about Hosoda Mamoru's works. I like the life breath and gentle emotions emanating from it, but I don't like the fantasy or technological factors embedded in the outer layer. I think this kind of addition is a little bit. "Superfluous", I personally still think that it is better to be pure (pure personal opinion), so when I watched this movie, I was actually a bit preconceived, that is, I didn't believe in the werewolf setting, and I didn't really believe it from the beginning. The belief that there are werewolves in this world, I just see it as a simple "add or nest". In fact, the main line of this story is the story of a single mother with a child growing up and living in the countryside. The identity of a werewolf is more of a driving and enriching role for the plot. Selected plot line. In addition to the mother's love and the connection between mother and child, the most important thing in the film is the child's growth and the choice of self-path. Xue liked himself as a wolf very much at the beginning, but Yu always thought that the wolf was a bad person, so he refused to be the wolf's self , But in the end, in order to better adapt to human society, Xue chose to give up being a wolf with her friends, while Yu gradually distanced herself from humans, got along with animals, and gave up her identity as a human being. Although in the process of watching the movie, I will feel that it is a "cruel" thing for the rain to leave the family, but this is also another theme of the film, which is the connection between the child and the parents, that is, the child will eventually leave the parents when they grow up. The things necessary for the growth of children, in fact, whether it is rain or snow, they will eventually stay away from their mothers when they grow up, and mothers can only endure loneliness and live alone. This can only be described as the sadness of growing up. In the film, I once again felt that delicate feeling of time passing, as if time was blowing like the wind inadvertently, which I also felt in "Fairy Tales of the Years", that is, you won't feel very long while watching the film. , procrastination, but after the end, it will feel like a long time has passed, this unique feeling also makes people feel a unique pleasure. (By the way, the dubbing of this movie is really good)
