I really like "Wolf Walker". Favorite movie of the year. Because I have seen the two previous works, I have very high expectations for the third work of this "Irish Folktale". After reading it, I really like it. "Wolf Walker", "Song of the Sea" and "The Secret of the Book of Kells" (in reverse order) all have very distinct feminist characteristics. It seems that in these Irish stories, women are always associated with the gods of nature. From the first "Secret of the Book of Kells", human boys obtain the secrets of gods under the guidance of the daughter of nature; to "Song of the Sea", the mother of the seal fairy, the father and brother of men, always take the younger sister as the weakest Her name limited her freedom, but in the end, the younger sister was not afraid of difficulties, found her mother and obtained her mother's inheritance, and returned to nature with her mother; in today's "Wolf Walker", only women can become the spirit of nature, in contrast to this It is the savage and ferocious patriarchal civilization, which is foul and smelly. The separation between nature and war is centered on the protagonist and her father. The father is a slave of paternal civilization and a pawn in war. Together they saved the mother of nature, and finally, inspired by the goddess of nature, the heroine's father also returned to nature. "no man can kill me" "I'm no man" Only the power of women can break the savage patriarchy and stop the fire of war. The patriarchal rule tramples on the matriarchal nature, and even slanders the matriarchal society. Everyone under the patriarchy is a puppet of the system, and there is no real freedom.
The hand-painted style of the film is unique, and the soundtrack is soft and powerful, like a mother's embrace, like the call of nature.
