"When the choice comes, everything you do has already been decided."
Such words are followed by psychoanalysis A person of law is a treasure. When a person grows up to the point where he needs to make a decision, we will stand on the other side of time and say this.
Childhood shadows.
Not everyone’s past is the source of all future causes and effects. If this is justified, how can we explain why Xiaoyu and Xiaoxue have to make their own choices at the same time. Inside and outside the story, like a mirror and a lamp, oneself is the mirror image of others, mirroring each other, becoming a lamp, illuminating other choices besides you.

When a wolf and a person have such feelings, the story happens like this.
After reading this work, I can hardly call the other half of Xiaohua. It can be said that it is the name of this werewolf who is the only descendant of wolf. The only thing we know is the last thing left for Xiaohua to look like. That driver's license.
The werewolf said that he was raised by relatives who didn't know anything. As soon as he got his driver's license, he rushed to the city to look for work. He finally settled down and led a daily life.
If there are no florets.
The faces of the characters are reminiscent of Toei's early anime "Our Game of War", with a touch similar to glutinous rice balls. They interpret their stories in the softest part of people's hearts. In fact, they are also our own stories.
From the beginning to the end of the story, we all know that this is a memory as a daughter. Xiaoxue did not appear outside of the narrative like the shepherd in "Cloud Atlas", but in the tone of a bystander, with mother Xiaohua as the first. A perspective spread out.
Throughout the animation, whenever there is a key choice node, daughter Xiaoxue will appear in the voice of narration, reminding the audience that for the narrator, this is already a story of the past, even so, when the narration no longer appears At that time, we will still habitually treat it as a story that is happening. This technique has appeared more than once in Japanese animation works, and it can put a sad color on the work.
We all know that all memories are beautified. Since human experience has been buried by time, when we retell the story, it will reappear in another posture, such as this work. Although it is a two-dimensional work, it has been contaminated with a large number of three-dimensional tendencies. All the unrealistic settings like "This must be a fairy tale" are in line with all reasonable reactions when appearing in reality. When watching this work, when we look at it from the perspective of a "reminiscence narrator", the story that was already sentimental enough is covered with more helplessness and bitterness out of thin air.

In this story, it once again reveals the doubts of identity, the human being's constant inward inquiry, in a more acute way.
Among the wolves and people with dual identities, one must be completely abandoned, because the two identities, which belong to their future, are completely opposite.
After moving to a new home, the three mothers and children will have a fork in the road from the door. To the left is the school, which means the world of society and human existence, and to the right is the forest, which means the world of nature and animals. In fact, Hua also knows that her two children will eventually make their own choices and give up the other side altogether.
Sister Xue, lively and active, younger brother Rain, delicate and sensitive. In his early childhood, Xue was better able to adapt to the wolf’s living form, like hunting and chasing nature; but Yu repeatedly asked his mother "Let's go back". In urban and rural life, he prefers the latter. However, the subsequent development surprised everyone. The snow, which was originally the most adaptable to nature, kept changing themselves, trying to integrate themselves into human society, while Yu, which was more adaptable to urban life, chose to take the responsibility of the king of the deep forest.
In fact, in the name, Xue and Rain actually laid the groundwork for the future of the two. The arrival of snow can turn all worlds into the same color, which means adaptation from nature, whether it is natural or social, it can adapt. Of course, the more you need to communicate in the world, the stronger adaptability is needed. In this cycle, it seems that it is most likely to enter nature, but actually enters human society. Rain is different in this work. The appearance of rain scenes all means Parting and death, one was when the werewolf as the father died in order to help his wife and children prey, and the other was when the rain as a son finally chose to enter the forest and leave his mother. In human society, everyone can be an individual and communicate with the entire society. Because of this, the individual is lonely and powerless, because everything he faces has become a non-self concept of a group. Because of the continuous development of civilization and technology, the law of the dark forest appeared, and the rain finally chose nature, which was unsurpassed.
In fact, whether it is the human world or the natural world has become a false proposition in this work. What the director wants to tell us is actually knowing oneself. Only by choosing your own style of survival can you gain identity.
At the end of the story, whether it is rain or snow, their future is actually quite worrying. Choosing to be the rain of a wolf, when he is in the rainy season, he will have to face his human identity, one is because of the physique of the rain, the other is because he left his mother on a rainy day, the rain with human nature can never be The wolf’s attitude towards life acquires the value of "wolves will leave their mothers to live independently when they reach adulthood". And she chose to become a human being. Even though she has a partner, Caoping, she also knows that the spell "three gifts, three kites" is actually a kind of invalid psychological comfort. The original form of a wolf appeared in front of everyone.
(3) I have
no intention of accusing Hua and her werewolves more, we are not qualified to stand on the higher moral superiority to criticize whether their combination will have an impact on our descendants.
Just like we can't blame Yu for leaving the mother flower.
In fact, Yu's departure is destined to have to bear a very heavy psychological burden. All of Hua's behavior can be said to be a representative of a perfect mother. She chose to let the children choose the future for themselves and gave all the possibilities of this future. When Xue told her mother that she was hated by her partner for some special hobbies, Hua made a new dress for her daughter, "I don't know how much redemption this dress gave me", Hua successfully reintegrated into the human world ; And when Xue beat Caoping because of loss of control, Hua untied the knot between Xue and Caoping.
Similarly, before Yu's choice, Hua also made all possible futures. Rain is allowed to read literary books and find a job as a nature observer for rain. When Yu wants to go to the nature museum, flowers are also given one by one. Even at the end of Yu Yu's reluctance to go to school, Hua also acquiesced.
But precisely because of this, tragedy was born.
When the mother's flower gave her two children all the possible choices, the relationship between her brother and sister plummeted, even to the point of fighting. Not everyone is their own mother, and can give everything to realize their dreams. Xue hopes that rain can return to human social life, but Yu wants to let rain run naturally. At the beginning of the sibling’s anti-purpose, on the one hand, the younger brother was talking about himself and the fox teacher all kinds of anecdotes, on the other hand, the lively and cheerful sister was doing homework very quietly, and behaviors that did not fit the personality of the two appeared in opposition. At the second level, although the music is still going on very comfortably, the tension has gradually accumulated.
The music stopped abruptly, and the two began to have an unprecedented dispute over their identity. The long conversations at the beginning quickly turned into short imperative sentences, until finally they gave up their human appearance and started fighting, making the home messy. In the end, the bruised sister hid in the bathroom and wept, while the bruised brother stood alone outside the bathroom door.
From this moment on, because the identity can not be unified, the kinship of the two brothers and sisters was wiped out to only the blood relationship.
When we look back at this story again, we will find that the narrator's sister Xue, in her narration, did not mention her younger brother once, but instead continued the story with very metaphorical words.

Although the whole work is narrated in a soft and fresh style, it still cannot conceal the sadness in it. In the last rain, his younger brother Yu ran away from home and became a wolf. Mother Hua fell off the cliff while chasing the rain and was seriously injured. But because of chasing the rain, her sister Xue lost the opportunity to be picked up by her mother. Because of the inertia of the fresh style from beginning to end, it seems that everyone has a better future, but in fact, it still can't conceal the deep sense of sadness.
This kind of sadness not only focuses on the contrast between freshness and reality, but also has many contrasts that constantly stimulate the audience's viewing experience.
The happy life of the flower and werewolf in the early years and the hard life of the flower with the children in the country later, the vertical and horizontal comparison of the character before and after the rain and snow and the life choices, as well as the vigilance and suspicion of others in urban life and the suspicion of others in rural life. Mutual support, all of these, are constantly destroying us with a beautiful thing.
Hua squatted at the door of the closed coffee shop, for a long time, at night. Until the werewolf arrived, the smiles of flowers were shown to us.
From this time on, the birth of this tragedy was doomed.
Is King Oedipus wrong? no. Are his parents wrong? nor. But this is how fate comes. In "Dragon Fighter 3", the devil said a sentence to Xiaodu. This sentence is actually the most important reason for tragedy to make people sad:
the duel between kindness is tragedy.
Hua, as a mother, can be said to be almost perfect, but it is also this kind of education that has caused the siblings and brothers’ hearts. The anti-message comes from the independent education method mentioned above, and the knot comes from the pressure created by the perfect image of the mother herself. This pressure gradually spreads to the outside world along with the elder brother's life area.
For Xue, the opinions of the people around her have almost become the most sensitive reaction in her life, because she did not gain the approval of others, which led to her emotional ups and downs. If it weren't for Caoping's experience similar to hers, she would never be able to respond to others. Open your heart. What is even more sad is that Xue is a cheerful and lively way that seems to open up the heart, covering up his true nature.
And Yu, despite facing her real choice, her inherent inadequate physique makes the future more dangerous. Strictly speaking, Yu is not a wolf in the true sense. If a wolf appears, his status is bound to be unprotected. Similarly, because of his childhood views on wolves in story books and wolves in zoos, he has a weak psychology that is weaker than ordinary people (or wolves), which can be proved by his teacher being a fox.
Taking a step back, if Hua didn't give birth to two children, none of these tragedies would happen.
When the child was sick, Hua ran to the street, the pediatric hospital and veterinary hospital on both sides, so Hua had no choice.
Because she didn't know how her husband, the werewolf, lived.
In the movie, the perfect character as Hua is her husband.
Yu said, I really want to see Dad.
Hua said, me too.
As the inheritance of parents, children become branches of their body shape and character, and the easiest to split into imperfect branches, that is, perfection.
It only needs to be a little incomplete, that's enough.
The identity of the werewolf, in the middle and later stages of the film, is the driver's license, not just a photo. This shows that the werewolf has successfully integrated into the human society, and can reasonably retain his own beast state. Although this success is temporary, he eventually died because of his beast form, but if he did not encounter a flower, his Such a life will be retained for life.
It's a pity that when I met flowers, while changing my life, I also changed flowers.
As Xue said in the narration, "The first time I was at a loss when I faced so many people, I had never met before, but this is just the beginning." In fact, for Hua, after her two children had made their own choices, all her efforts were worthwhile and rewarded. She was able to hear her son’s wolf howls while looking at her daughter’s photos. This is all the happiness that a human mother can obtain; but for rain and snow, the tearing of family affection and the psychological trauma caused by identity are precisely because of the tragedy born of the perfect werewolf and the perfect flower.
