Not as bad as expected

Occasionally heard Aoi Teshima's voice in the TV commercials, so I searched for her album, including an OST of "ゲド戦记", plus a very attractive poster produced by Ghibli, I watched Ghibli in Osaka. During the storyboard exhibition, I introduced it as a very romantic movie, so I thought about this movie and had to watch it. But when I read the comments, there was a lot of scolding. The most frequently mentioned is the dissatisfaction of the original author. After watching it, I don't think it's as bad as I imagined.

Maybe it's because I haven't read the original book. After watching the movie, I feel that the original author's evaluation may be very appropriate. Aside from the original, I don't think it's a bad movie. The pictures are beautiful and the music is beautiful, although sometimes it feels a little awkward. The voice acting of the heroine is a bit strange, after all, she is a newcomer, so it is understandable. The whole movie is worth watching carefully (pictures) and listening carefully (music). Of course, if you watch cartoons just to see the plot, it's another matter. The above is the result after reading a series of popular cartoon reviews in China. I don't want to comment on the quality of domestic cartoons. Everyone's preferences are different. It's like giving carnivorous dinosaurs a piece of delicious vegetables in Ice Age III, and they can't understand the taste. This film has such a poor evaluation, maybe it is because the expectations are too high. It is too harsh to ask a newcomer to reach the level of Hayao Miyazaki in his first film. I don't know how people would comment if China could make animations of this level.

    Although Miyazaki Katsuma and his son fell out, there is still a Ghibli style on the screen, and the ability to tell a story is a little bit worse

    As Miyazaki Goro's first film, he challenged his father's worst historical subject, but unfortunately it didn't work at all. The story was monotonous and boring, the plot was flat, two stars encouraged, and the work was worth one star
