The first is the advantages:
First, it inherits the consistent fresh and bright style of the Ghibli family, and every detail looks very comfortable, even the trivial details of life are still full of beauty.
Second, when we talk about music, we must mention music. The soundtrack this time is really good. The selection of songs is so good that the first thing I have to do after watching it is to search for those songs everywhere.
Third, I still have to praise the details of the settings, which realistically restore the life atmosphere and part of the social atmosphere in Japan after the war, which makes people look leisurely and fascinated.
Fourth, I have to say that the president's brother was a surprise, but unfortunately the role was slightly less.
Then there are the shortcomings:
1. It is indeed suspected that the plot setting is a bit bloody. When the male protagonist's father told him his life experience, and then the male protagonist began to intentionally alienate the female protagonist, the female protagonist was more distressed and depressed... I instantly It is indeed a bit of the illusion of crossing into a poor rock drama.
Second, the characters are not clear enough, the male and female protagonists are okay, but the supporting roles are basically lackluster. In addition, whether it is mother, sister, grandma, or classmates... almost all of them are blurred. Compared with the super cute line of supporting roles of Disney and DreamWorks, it seems to be lacking.
Third, Master Wulang's ability to dig the depth of the subject matter is still incomparable with Naifu. The works of the same small and fresh life theme, the slope of poppies and the fairy tales of the years, stand out from each other. If Ghibli wants to keep its former position, Still need to continue to work hard.
Summed up as four stars, although it is not a good work in Ghibli, but in the entire animation film circle, it is still a good movie to watch, especially the music, it sounds really good! Just sauce~~^_^
