Because I had seen "The Book of Kells" before, I also had some expectations for the work of this studio, so I went to the cinema to watch it. The style of the painting was still very comfortable, but I felt that the coloring method of the characters this time was different. Not very good, he deliberately made a wrong version, but I don't think the effect is good, or "The Secret of the Book of Kells" has a more comfortable style of painting and a stronger sense of design and decoration. Whether it's the design of the town or the forest, I think "The Book of Kells" is better. In terms of plot, this film also discusses the relationship between man and nature, which reminds me of Hayao Miyazaki's "Princess Mononoke", which is also a The contradiction between the development of human towns and nature, the author's tendency revealed in this work is more clear, it directly expresses the bias and love for nature, while Gong Lao's "Princess Mononoke" shows more For a kind of hesitation and embarrassment, the attitude is detoured on both sides, and there is no clear position orientation. (Of course, this is not to say that it is not good if there is no clear direction. In fact, Gong Lao’s works are more about expressing his own entangled position.) However, this film also fails to point out a solution, which is about the development of nature and human beings. In the end, Wolf Walker left the forest alone and emptied the forest. At first glance, it seems that after the fall of the Protectorate regime, people will return to a state of harmonious coexistence with nature, but is this actually true? Since the first protector of the country will appear, won't there be a second one? This feeling is just a short-lived "peace" in the replacement of dynasties. We have no idea what the consequences of the forest will be if we lose the protection of the wolf runners. Only at the end can we feel this comfortable and peaceful atmosphere. . (Finally, the emotional scene of "Dad" and "Mom" is a little redundant 2333)

    It hurts to watch. Not for nothing, but wanted to shout out to Tomm Moore, you could have done something better than the bootleg Princess Mononoke. It's scary when something stylized becomes a painless template in the creator's hands, a wake-up call to myself

    Fear leads to attack, because the wolf is afraid to kill the wolf, this is the animal nature of human beings. I love and hate the role of my father. Only when I am touched will I have emotions and reflect on myself. The style (gorgeous. Flat table, Cezanne, Matisse) and soundtrack (Aloof) are very Irish (Secrets of the Book of Kells, Song of the Sea, Breadwinner, fortunate to see on the big screen) really happy). After reading it, I suddenly want to go home and hug my mother, let her accompany me for a while. She can't get out of bed recently, and taking care of her is smoother than expected. .
