I haven't read the original work itself, but I have seen the early movie version, and this animated version seems to be a follow-up story of the movie version.
As far as the movie version is concerned, I like it very much. The original author was influenced by Chinese tradition and put forward the importance of balance, balance and harmony in the world of "Earthsea", because the original author Esula Le Guin translated Lao Tzu's "Ethics" "Jing" is deeply influenced by Taoist culture. In the upper movie version, you can see the characteristics that are different from other European and American fantasy blockbusters, which I admire very much. The original work itself is different from the "dual antithesis of good and evil" in traditional Western fantasy novels, and puts forward the view of coexistence and balance of good and evil, which is indeed an advancement of Western traditional thinking.
Now I’m talking about this animated version, which continues the plot of the movie version. Because I haven’t read the original, I don’t know how far the animated version has been adapted. However, I always felt that there were more empty words, and I kept emphasizing these terms. I also failed to properly educate the little protagonist "Earthsea" about the meaning of world balance, which seemed a bit inconsistent with the spirit of the original work.
Besides, the character design, painting style, and overall feeling can't be separated from the influence of his father Hayao Miyazaki? Everyone knows the heroes and heroines at a glance. I think they should completely get rid of the influence of Hayao Miyazaki. Others in Studio Ghibli, such as Takahata, have their own indispensable status in Studio Ghibli, said To be honest, in Ghibli, Takahata's "The Fairy Tale of the Years" is definitely one of my favorite animations, and the one that is tied is Hayao Miyazaki's "My Neighbor Totoro". As for the other animes of Hayao Miyazaki, I just The degree of acceptance is nothing more than the level of acceptance. Among the Ghibli, Kondo Yoshifumi's "Listen to the Ear" and Mochizuki Tomomi's "Hearing the Waves" are also my favorite films.
I like "My Neighbor Totoro" more than Hayao Miyazaki's several animations before and after, because I personally think "My Neighbor Totoro" is the highest work of the father, because "My Neighbor Totoro" itself is "natural", the most innocent state, and Father’s previous and subsequent works must pay more attention to “nature” and “growth”. I personally think that this is “nature” from the side, and it is not as close as the “Totoro” of “Nature” itself. The real state, this is just my own opinion.
It seems to be stubborn. It should be said that Goro Miyazaki was out of his father's influence. Sure enough, there is a celebrity father who is really pitiful. Judging from the style of the film, it is also the style of "Castle in the Sky" and "Princess Mononoke". As far as China is concerned, even Takahata is almost shrouded in Miyazaki's halo, not to mention the other staff of Studio Ghibli, let alone Miyazaki Goro.
However, we still have to look at the ideological connotation of the original film. Maybe Miyazaki Goro is not sure about it. There is no absolute justice and evil, but it does not seem to be reflected in the "Kudo Senki". Although there is a relative life and death at the end of the film, If you refuse to die, the idea of denying life and so on comes out, but it seems to apply the original work, and the overall style of the animation, but it is abrupt and not well laid, and the original work’s balanced ideological connotation is actually the most important. There is good and evil. Darkness and light must coexist. Refusing to die also negates the meaning of life.
I won't say much about the ideological connotation. Just by relying on a movie version, I can really admire the original author Esula Le Guin. If you exclude this point, in fact, "ゲド戦记" is still fair. I really want to find a chance to read the original novel. Although I said this when I was watching the movie version, it has never been realized~~ I
also want to talk about music. Music belongs to Minya Terajima. Although I don’t know him well, I think The overall atmosphere of the background music is very close to the animation, which is very good, especially the music also has the main melody. Among them, there are several similar but different arrangements of the music is very good, among them "Haitaka ~ Fugitive", "Lulu" and "Wild" It is a favorite music, different arrangements have their own characteristics.
As for the theme song, the insertion song, naturally it is already very famous. Whether it’s the insertion song "テルーの呗" or the theme song "时の歌", they are all great songs, and the rare thing is the sound. Pure and natural, with a sad and sad tone. If you want to listen to more, it is true that there are 10 animation-related songs in the "Songs of the War of War" by Shou Aoi. They are all sung by Shou Aoi. Both the insert song and the theme song have a full version. Among them, the favorite is The song "Twilight" is really perfect.
It seems that there is nothing to talk about, but I heard that "ゲド戦记" was the top of the annual Golden Plum Award. I think it’s over. I don’t know if the Eastern and Western thinking is different. I think even if the animated version is better than those A Hollywood blockbuster can be considered better.
