To be honest, at first when I saw the score of 6.4, my heart was stunned, but after watching it, I actually got back a little feeling of watching Ghibli when I was a child. The pure and happy taste in the movie is inexplicably infected. me
"Mary and the Witch's Flower" may not be a masterpiece like Gong Lao's movie, but it will definitely be a work of feelings above the standard. It continues to tell the purest fairy tale in this era of Hollywood animation.
In this fairy tale, no one is an absolute villain. Although the headmaster and doctor of the magic school use animals and humans to do inhuman experiments, they were all respected teachers, just because they discovered the "Witch's Flower" and embraced creation A beautiful dream of a magical world where everyone goes astray.
Their original intentions were good, but excessive paranoia led to crazy behavior and ultimately failure.
Although the heroine Mary is clumsy, often boasting, lying, and has almost all the qualities of a "bear child", she has a kind heart, and once made fun of his boy Peter being taken away by the principal because of her, she takes on the responsibility. Responsibility, betting on the "Witch's Flower" only once, and resolutely went to save him and redeem the mistakes he made.
It's so like us who were young, we can tell some small lies and exaggerate in front of our friends, but deep down we are actually kind.
And this is what makes us cute when we are young. When we grow up, most of us may be reduced to mediocre people, but you must have thought so in the past - "one day become a magician, join the magic academy, and have a gorgeous adventure", as Harry Potter, like Mary and the Witch's Flower.
It uses such a cliché, even a bit old story, with the magic of hand-drawn animation, to awaken what we once had, and to reveal the purest fantasies. "The Witch's Flower" is a dream that has been searched all over the place to no avail, and a similar dream that every person who hits the wall everywhere can rely on it. Looking forward to a certain opportunity to change myself and become the outstanding self in my heart. Mary helped Grandpa the gardener tidy up the flowers and ended up with broken flowers, and was ridiculed by Peter when she was dumped on her body by a bucket full of fallen leaves when she was cleaning the yard. But after becoming a "witch", Mary grew up through this, gradually became that important self, and gained friendship with Peter.
The reality may not be so beautiful and will only give you a slap in the face, but in the fairy tale world, you can find the truest self. "Mary and the Witch's Flower" is an animation adapted from children's literature, but at the same time, it is also a film for adults. Although in our opinion, there may be too many deficiencies, too many similar styles, and too many tribute elements. But it is still such a sweet, innocent and dreamy story, without those profound things, it just wants to lead us into that world and go back to the innocence of the past. It's not that fairy tales have changed, it's just that we have grown up facing cruel social competition and are bound by heavy shackles of reality
Knowing the truth of life, I will no longer choose to believe in such clichéd and overly idealized pure fairy tales, but this lost innocence should be recalled and retrieved, although there are some things
We can never find it again.
