    Almost fell asleep. In fact, since "Son of the Wolf", Mamoru Hosoda's weakness in the grasp of the story has been exposed, but he did not expect that after the royal screenwriter Sadoko Okuji left, his story would collapse directly. The first half was better, at least there were routines to follow, but when I saw the male protagonist grow up, I had a hunch that the film was about to collapse. My brain is so amused that I don't even know what I'm doing. There are still not many narrative skills, but what I remember more is his consistent characteristics: panning the camera, fine painting, and rich details; these are the places where Hosoda Mori’s works always give people a comfortable impression, which may also give people a great illusion. , that is, what kind of master director Hosoda Mori is, but the fact is that among all the works he has produced so far, only one has had a slightly profound content expression and discussion.

The Boy and the Beast quotes

  • Kumatetsu: You've got some nerve giving me advice! A pupil keeps quiet and does what he's told!

    Kyuta: No way! If I do what you tell me, I'll catch your stupidity!

  • Kaede: You know what? I've been asking myself something. "Why am I holding Ren's hand and running away with him? Here I am, scared to death, so why am I doing it? Then I remembered something. How incredibly happy I was when we first met and we started studying together. I mean, there's nobody else who enjoys studying as much as you. When I'm with you, it gives me the courage to keep going too. And right now, it's the same. Ren, if you're going to fight, then I'm staying with you. Don't forget, neither of us is ever fighting alone.
