I thought it was a lighthearted adventure story, but I never thought it was an allegory of the Irish people's resistance to dictatorship. In just 100 minutes, it contained profound propositions such as resistance to dictatorship, resistance to domestication of patriarchy, love between women, self-awakening and salvation. What struck me most was the transformation of the heroine. The hostess is a typical girl who thinks she is a vested interest. She lived in Ireland under the colonial rule of England in 1650. The people lost their right to speak and were imprisoned in the extreme management claiming to "maintain stability." The nursery rhymes circulating on the street are all It is an educational tool to instill ideology, and all children are angry war machines full of populism. By chance, she met the wolfwalker girl and witnessed more truths and evil deeds.
Just like the phrase "Locked or free, what would it be?" in the episode, she spurned her cowardice, but she couldn't completely cut herself from her fear; for many years, she mechanically obeyed the rules and domesticated, which made her conditioned to a foreign race. Fear and hatred; the oppression of long-term patriarchal thinking made her "be good for you", "be obedient" and wait for her father's preaching to blurt out, almost ruining the lives of her companions and herself. In the end, she could see her heart clearly, as her father who worked for the imperial power raised a strong crossbow, "Don't force me to put you in a cage!" And she opened her arms to block the wolfwalker, stood still, stood upright, and didn't take a step. Retire, "But I'm already in a cage!" There are too many images overlapping with this in my mind for a moment, I think of "Jojo's Fantastic World", think of the freedom and love that have broken free from the dirt The blood and hatred of the people remembered the brave warriors who faced a known tragedy and remembered what Luo Xin said, "Believing in people is important, and hope comes from people." I hope that people full of courage and hope can also be like this Irish fable. Love can overcome hate, freedom can overcome fear, dictators suicide, city walls collapse, and welcome the bright future that will eventually come.
