After reading it on May 28th, it was rated four stars. Later, because the time was too short, I had nothing to do and watched it again and again. Today is June 2nd, and I scored five stars. It can be said that this is the best animation I have ever seen in 2018. The whole film is a dark style that I have always preferred. The story full of metaphors is also mixed with some healing. At first, it was because Greg was too noisy and didn't like him so much. Later, when I saw that Greg was like a little prince. His small body was made up of innocence and love. He was not a "adult" who pretended to be deep. He loves to follow his brother Wirt with all his heart, even if this brother runs first in danger, he always regards him as a cumbersome and troublesome.
The woodcutter loves his daughter, but he also cherishes every child. He was groggy, telling everyone not to be deceived by the beasts, but he was stuck in it. He was sober. When he realized that the snow-melt wood originated from the child's body, he regretted it. When he discovered that his daughter was not in the light, he resolutely blew out his hopeful dream with tears in his eyes.
Of course, this is only in terms of plot.
The details of the film are very good. When I watched it for the first time, I was sleepy. The lines and pictures were just swept away. In the later repeated viewing process, I gradually found that the lines and pictures were laying the groundwork for the next story, and the subsequent storyline was a link between the past and the future, which is really awesome!
The music of this film should not be underestimated. Despair, temptation and hints are all laying the foundation for this story.
You won’t be bored watching a good movie several times. You will always find fun and feel fun in the new viewing process.
