Anticlimactic ecofeminist works

It can be understood as a good eco-feminist work, full of satire on patriarchy, matrilineal inheritance ✓ female-female mutual aid and connection ✓ naturalism ✓, but due to the limitations of the director's gender, the arrangement at the end is too poor, resulting in The whole idea dropped a step.

The heroine grows very well, from a patriarchal daughter full of toxins, through a painful transition period, to a brave wolf walker step by step.

The image of the father is very classic, a paternal soft-footed man who obeys authority, macho, does not know how to respect, listen and understand, blindly "I am here for your own good", because of cowardice, he absolutely surrenders to the violent protector of the country, but he does not do it. Completely disenchanted, for example, in reality, most fathers do not have such deep feelings for their daughters (although they are based on disrespect and self-righteousness).

The protector of the country is a representative of the patriarchal line. He is violent and stupid, and only understands destruction and shock, but he was finally defeated by his father. I think this arrangement is not good, and the key plot is handed over to the man.

The wolf girl Miba is a pure matriarchal daughter and a daughter of nature. Her wildness is particularly attractive, and the three points under the corner of her eyes are very characteristic. The emotional line between Miba and Robin is particularly good, sincere and natural, reflecting the female friendship. To the fullest. She was enraged by the humans, jumped on the city wall and roared: "I am a wolf walker, and I will bring the wolves back for revenge." Seeing me burst into tears, it was so poignant.

The biggest flaw is the ending!

1. It was the father who defeated the protector. Emphasizing his personal repentance and making up for it, pulling the favor is very stiff. In my understanding, it should be the heroine or Miba who completed this matter. What does it mean that this man is the biggest heroine at the end? The story line is too anticlimactic. At first glance, the director is indeed a man, and I really love to put gold on the man's face.

2. How did the father and the wolf mother have emotional interaction? ? Reorganize the family? ? I'm all stupid, what are you doing!

And is very puzzled, the protectors of the country are dead, why should they find another way out, the wolves retreat again and again, where can they retreat? Once again a concession to patriarchal industrialism.

    I am special! ! Blow it up! ! ! Perfect! ! The picture, plot, original sound, and settings (in no particular order) are all perfect, and the beauty is beyond the sky! Hearing and vision are invincible! ! Once again, it deeply reflects that "what belongs to the nation is what belongs to the world". I don't see many Irish cartoons, but they all catch up with the very heavy motif + exquisite Celtic soundtrack + magnificent vision like fantasy. This motif reminds me of Avatar, the habitual life of our self-conceited safety is nothing but a dungeon, and true freedom is often on the "other side" of our unknown, feared, and even hostile. Also because of refusal to understand and believe, many times the so-called "for your own good" is purely to cover up one's ignorance and vulnerability, so as to make oneself feel comfortable. This kind of conflict is very common in cartoons, but every time the conflict is resolved, I feel so warm? After all, I may never encounter such an opportunity in my life.
