I accidentally saw this when I was flipping through other movies, and I saw good reviews. I liked the painting style, so I'm going to watch it. It was only later that I found out that this was the work of Director Hosoda Mamoru, which was disrespectful.
The Son of the Monster tells the story of "Shetian Street" in the monster world. A monster named Xiong Che decided to accept a disciple in order to compete with a monster named Zhuwangshan to become a master. Due to his hot temper, he was not popular in the monster world. , I had no choice but to go to the human world "Shibuya" to wander and look for it. Out of curiosity, the human child I met by chance followed Xiong Che to the monster world by accident, and started a fantastic adventure.
Although Xiong Che and the human child "Jiu Tai" quarreled every day, they had a deep relationship. The two grew up together. Jiu Tai grew up and had a strong force value, and Xiong Che also learned to observe the world and get along with people.
The boy has grown into a strong young man. By chance, Kuta returned to "Shibuya" from "Shutian Street" and met high school girl Kaede (voiced by Hirose Suzu). Through the acquaintance with Kaede, Kuta. I learned the values of this new world and began to explore the world I was supposed to live in. At this moment, a big incident broke out, including the orcs and humans in the two worlds. In order to save everyone, what exactly can they do, Xiong Che, Jiu Tai and Feng, each made a decision.
In the end, Xiong Che sacrificed himself and turned into Jiutai's sword, guarding him to defeat the darkness of people's hearts and save everyone.
The whole story is smooth, and the content of the expression is very clear. Although it is not a biological child, Jiutai, the son of a monster, still has a sincere affection. Jiu Tai was lost, thought, and searched for himself between the identities of monsters and human beings, to find the answer. Just as we look for self-definition in real life, look for the value of survival. However, the world is far from being as simple as a story, and the author's expression remains flat, so at this level, I always feel that the author's words are a little flat and shallow. The lines are slightly weaker in this point of view, and there is a blunt feeling of leaning on the theme.
In comparison, the line of fatherly love expresses more naturally and clearly. There are three paragraphs of fatherly love in the whole story, and two paragraphs are about Jiutai, his biological father, the monster father Xiong Che, Zhu Wangshan and his son; Three different father-son relationships, but they are all real. Xiong Che's parenting affection, his biological father's bloodline, not giving up searching for missing children, and his son's love for his father, Zhu Wangshan forgives and accepts his son who made a big mistake again.
Whether it is about common memory or about blood, they have formed a precious bond between them, and this bond should be precious no matter where in the world.
