Compared with his master Lao Tzu, the plots of his two films are relatively simple, and there is no strong legend. Although there are dragons and magic in "Legend of the Earth Sea", nothing magical happens. . This movie, in particular, is basically a period drama. There should be a strong resonance for those who have experienced that era in Japan! But for me, a citizen of a big country separated by the sea, after losing these resonances, I feel that the whole story is too bland, and I don't see anything.
The male protagonist always feels a little bit of Miura Yukata, maybe because I watch too few Japanese movies and only know Miura Yukata. In addition, he is indeed not like Bai Yuan Chong. And I don't like Nagasawa Masami, she looks too mature and looks old.
At the end of the movie, there was applause in the theater. This is the greatest affirmation of this movie! Most of the audience stayed until the end, after listening to the ending song, and seeing the final subtitles - this story is purely fictional, and everyone laughed. No one expects the plot of a movie to be real, let alone an animated one!
When I saw it near the end, a sentence from a woman sitting in the back row can sum up the movie very well: "Isn't this a romance novel!".
