9. An extremely down-to-earth good animation, although the beginning and the end emphasize that it is like a "fairy tale", but do you believe it?
The first half is about coexistence, the coexistence of man and man, the coexistence of man and wolf, the coexistence of man and nature, and the coexistence of wolf and nature. This "sense of coexistence" reaches its peak when the three of them are sliding in the snow. At this time, the mother has already For the time being, I will get rid of the heavy pressure of life, and life has stabilized for a while. The family, villagers, and children have all entered into a kind of "harmony". In the cry in the snow, it seems that "people and wolves resonate, people help each other, people and wolves resonate with each other." coexistence with nature".
The second half is about independence. In a free and tolerant growth environment, wolf children show different personalities, but "the personality under education in childhood may also mutate." The animation reveals this very well, because clearly see The snow, which is more wolfish, has gradually entered the human society, while the weaker rain has bravely entered the nature. The "wounding incident" and "drowning incident" may be the opportunity for these changes, but we can look at this issue in depth. Assuming that the animation is simulating the experiences of wolf children as human beings, we can know that "human beings have both wolf and human nature", and naturally, "wolf nature" is more wild, aggressive, and more The independent part, the human nature is the weaker and more delicate part.
In the "wounding incident", because Xue was afraid of exposing her "wolf nature", she instead exposed her "wolf nature", resulting in bad results. From then on, Xue decided to suppress her "wolf nature" to survive as a human being. People are like this too. They have moments of anger, fear, and mania, but people gradually learn to cover up and suppress in their interactions, and then become a qualified adult.
In the "Drowning Incident", Yu is deeply aware of the fragile part of his "human nature" because of drowning, so he is determined to become a strong wolf. Here we can see that "wolf nature" is not useless, at least it keeps us a brave and free heart. In reality, we can also see many people who rely on their "wolf nature" to create their own world. In the animation, there are even character comparisons, which shows how obvious the director's intentions are.
Whether it is "human nature" or "wolf nature", both have their pros and cons. Here, animation abandons this pros and cons point of view, and only shows the two as a neutral "feature" to the audience. I think it is more appropriate.
Whether it's "human nature" or "wolf nature", there is no good or bad, and what matters is not their own, but the experience of life, the experience of life, because everyone's situation is different, and you don't know what to do next What kind of thing will happen in one second, what kind of person will be tomorrow, so there is no way to judge whether it is good or bad.
From an educational point of view, this film is also extremely meaningful. "No matter how hard you suffer, you have to raise your own children." The attitude of raising the child from the beginning to the end, please turn left and go out "What is Home" for an example of failure. "Even if you suffer a lot, don't use it as a threat to treat your child as one of your possessions", and "Let go when it's time to let go, and let the child find his own world freely and spend his own meaningful life." The open and free raising spirit of life. Therefore, I strongly urge those foolish parents to watch this film a hundred times and experience what "raising" means. And don't give birth to those who can't even raise them!
On the whole, this film gathers a lot of Japanese elements. In general, it is survival and growth. In Japanese films, the pattern and vision are quite large, there are warmth and tears, lyrical and empathy, according to what I have seen in the past. In the films of Mamoru Hosoda, I feel that there is a lot of Mamoru Hosoda's understanding of love, youth, growth, and family in it. It can be regarded as a masterpiece. I would like to call Hosoda Mamoru's best animation.
