There is the shadow of "My Neighbor Totoro". After looking at the three works, I am already a fan of Mamoru Hosoda.

The process of meeting and acquainting Hua and Wolf in the front is comparable to the first ten minutes in "Up". I was moved by it. When I meet such a person in a helpless city, everyone will be defeated without any defense. Racial differences It doesn't matter anymore.

Before the werewolf plot came out, I was already a little cold about this young and fresh girl chasing a man on campus. Hua-looking wolf's eyes are comparable to Zhang Ziyi in "My Father and Mother". But when the werewolf came out, I was a little disappointed. To be honest, I have been disgusted by the vampire werewolf of the Twilight series. Can you just talk about people, just like "Listen"? But when I consider that the werewolf plot will push the plot to the countryside, I'm relieved.

Hua took her two children, a sister and a brother to live in the countryside close to nature, cleaning such a big house full of dust, and the memories of watching "My Neighbor Totoro" in middle school came up all at once. This is simply a tribute to "My Neighbor Totoro".

Rain has been shy since childhood, and Xue has been lively since childhood, but in the end, the two brothers and sisters chose the opposite route. This setting is very good.

As a child, Yu, who was shy and begged her mother to return to the city life, finally chose to return to the animal life of nature and be a forest guardian similar to "Princess Mononoke";

Snow, who was lively and moved like a wild child when she was a child, finally chose human nature. Wen Jing has a thirst for knowledge, and has become a narrator who tells this story in a straightforward manner.

Although Hosoda Mamoru does not have the atmosphere of Hayao Miyazaki, the literary spirit of Takada Xun, and the talent of Jin Min, but he has his own set of things that capture people's hearts, from "The Girl Who Leapt Through Time" to "Summer Wars" and then to Today's "Wolf's Children Rain and Snow", none of his works has let me down. The warm feeling in the process of watching a movie has not been seen for a long time, and today's Ghibli and Pixar have not brought me for a long time. I've had this feeling.
