"Disappointing" Mamoru Hosoda

The previous very interesting setting, the plot suddenly procrastinated in the middle, but the exquisite pictures and shocking music cover up this shortcoming, I feel that the father who wrote Lian at the beginning should not be a good person, and suddenly washed white, it seems that Lian has always been hypocritical. In fact, at the beginning, Lian was abandoned by the human world and lacked acceptance by monsters. This confrontation between the two worlds should be emphasized more. Why humans become more dark in the monster world is actually a way for two people who were also abandoned to be recognized by the world. Different, it can also be said that the boy was not accepted as a human at the beginning, but gradually discovered that he was a human, which caused him to disapprove of himself in his heart. High expectations can sometimes ruin a person. Just like if this animation was made by Makoto Shinkai, everyone would not give such a low score. If it was made by a Chinese director, the score might be higher, but who made it Hosoda Mamoru!
