The theme of the film is "Transformation". Interspersed throughout the film are memories of the fifth grade of Taeko Elementary School. Why do you remember the memory of that time? Because at this time, Taeko was 27 years old, just at the age of starting a family; Taeko, who was in the fifth grade of elementary school, had just had her period and her body had just begun to develop. These two periods are the period of pupation into butterfly.
My favorite in this film is the soundtrack, but unlike other Ghibli animated films, the soundtrack in this film is full of exotic flavors. It is said that this is "Hungarian rural style", but I don't know what style "rural" is, I just think it is very suitable for work. The director's choice of such a strange tune may have meant that "rural life is as rare for urban people as it is to go abroad".
The style of this film is really unacceptable. When her face is expressionless, Taeko is still a bit like the protagonist in other Ghibli movies; but when she laughs, her face twists into a twist, which is really hideous. Minxiong is not so exaggerated, some of his expressions are very personal. The children in the memory section are very cute, and the facial lines of the adults are not so exaggerated. This may be done to highlight the illusory memory and the reality of reality, but this is too exaggerated!
