Prince Miyazaki needs to work hard

Legend has it that Master Miyazaki planned the strike of Studio Ghibli when the son was making this film. At that time, I thought to myself, this old man has a bad temper, he is his own son anyway, he should always be his assistant.
After reading it, I understood. No wonder.

Mr. Miyazaki was a bit ambitious. He chose such a huge magical fantasy to make a 115-minute animation. As a result, the whole film was not focused, and there were dead ends everywhere. For example, your king was killed by his son. Such a big country, such a king, stole a movie at the beginning, and then disappeared. Then, what happened to the man and the dragon, how to get along with each other in a balanced way and how to be destroyed? Also, the little girl with scars on her face, why are you a dragon? Although you guessed it when you told him your real name, you still have to explain it to him... Then again, I always talked about balance, balance, the balance of the world, how come I suddenly said that people should cherish life. To put it bluntly, what is your central idea? I admit that when I watched this sublimation theme, I was still very touched, but, but, how did it come about for no reason?
Although it can be seen that Mr. Miyazaki worked very hard, wanted to make an epic animation, and wanted to surpass his father, but I can only say with regret: this film wants to express everything, and in the end, nothing is clearly expressed.

Prince Miyazaki is like that prince, living in the shadow of his father. The great Master Miyazaki made him unable to lift his head without self-confidence, so the son always had to resist. But the great master is the great master after all. Although the film showed a fierce resistance from beginning to end, I felt that Miyazaki wanted to resist the temperament of his father inherited in his own bones, but there are still many shadows of Hayao Miyazaki in the film. The dragon reminds me of the white dragon in "Spirited Away". The old witch kept saying "don't die, don't die" and think of a faceless man. She can turn into dark blue mud like "Princess Mononoke".
The difference is that Hayao Miyazaki's animations usually do not have complete villains, and they always feel very warm and warm after watching them. For Miyazaki Goro, it feels that young people have not lived through their lives, and their emotions are exposed and extreme, so they can't convey that peace and warmth.
Wu Lang still needs to work hard if he wants to break through the shadow of the master and stand out!

PS 1. The voice of Teshimakui is really nice. 2. Wu Lang wrote a poem "The Traveler" to Shou Shikui. The lyrics are very good. It can be seen that the tiger father has no dogs, but the future is not yet clear.

    Two and a half stars, you can't say it's a bad movie. After all, the hardware is there, and the skinny camel is bigger than the horse. For the young master, the coercion of the father is obviously like a ghost wandering on the clock tower. In that way, it imposes a huge psychological burden on Hamlet, and it also shows what a clumsy thing a "Myazaki-esque story" can become without a dash of agility. The heroine, as always, has inherited the studio tradition of strong women and weak men.

    Speechless... It sounds very grand and full of historical sense... After reading it, I felt that it was a wedge of the whole history...
