After the last scene of the movie, the girl sitting behind me asked her mother, "Why did they go with the wolf in the end?"

The 4 factions in the story are opposed to each other, and if you look deeply into the plot, you will find that the distribution of good and evil in this fairy tale has some obvious divine advocacy. As if the human camp has many shortcomings, the characters are rough, and the wolf with divinity, Walker, not only selfless healing, unconditional acceptance of Robin's broken promises again and again, and even forgiveness of the hunter who shot his mother. If this kind of divine tolerance is regarded as "this is how nature recognizes and slaughters people," then the human beings in the film are not grateful and criticized. The emotional changes of the characters in the film, which change their faces in seconds, are also very similar to the group characteristics of human beings who are extremely forgetful.

The final ending looks good on the surface. People are wolves and go away peacefully. But if you think about it carefully, the towns that have changed hands will usher in new rulers, the forest will be burned, and the wolf runners will be forced to embark on the road to find new territories.

The situation has not changed for the better. And that's the truth. "Why did they go with the wolf in the end?" Because the status quo cannot be changed, and we have to move forward.

[B+] The audience of Zi Xian Xiang is by no means a reason to excuse the script. All expression of innocence values has been covered with the cheap shell of decadent Hollywood, and the cultural characteristics and art style have naturally become its fig leaf. But on the other hand, we really have to praise the attempts of the animation creators to make full use of the characteristics of 2D hand-painting. The distant part of the interior of the picture does not follow the perspective of shrinking from near to far, but extends vertically up and down along the direction of the screen. Not only does the painting style resemble a mural, but it also intervenes in the spatial relationship between the audience and the screen to make it more like a mural. In addition, the aspect ratio changed by black borders at key moments, the split-screen design that enhances the "comic sense", and the traces of pencil line drafts that have not been erased in the final picture are of course the winning of style, and they are constantly reminding Audience: This is a "movie" composed of countless "paintings".

I really don't know how to express the surprises that this movie has brought me. I can only say that I am willing to donate some money when the director shoots the next one.
