Film Critic: Wolf Walker

A year or two ago, I thought that cartoons only had such a cute and lovable style as Disney. Then I watched the life of zucchini and the little prince, and discovered the paper style of French animation, and then learned that Japanese and Chinese animation styles are also different.

This film is a typical Irish-style cartoon. It feels like outlines the picture with rough lines and shapes, but it is very smooth and natural. The whole picture is very lively. It is also the type I like very much.

But this film is not like Jiang Ziya's style of winning only by painting style-at least one minute before the end of the feeling. There is a line in the play, probably

"We must obey the rule!"

"But why?"

"Yes, why?"

There is also the sentence "What's the difference between here and in a cage!".

The whole movie satirizes foolishness, praises those who are always childlike, and encourages us to pursue freedom. Pursue freedom with a brain.

However, when the scene was about to end and I was going to happily recommend this movie with my classmates, the next scene gave me confusion: the two families merged into a family of four, and the protagonist’s father gave it to MiG’s mother. Put a flower on the hairpin on your head, put down the protagonist’s mother in England and then leave it alone? ? ? It's really outrageous, the more I think about it, the more I respond. Maybe people in Ireland are pursuing freedom in this way, I don’t understand, I can’t give it stars at the last minute...

    The fourth work of the Irish Cartoon Salon is innovative in the wonderful two-dimensional hand-painting. Different spaces have different painting styles. The city is rigid, gloomy (the castle is even depicted as a gray prison), homogeneous and regular, with sharp edges and corners. (mainly geometric shapes such as straight lines, squares and triangles), forests and nature are soft, bright, highly saturated, continuous and full of curves (natural shapes). The sprinting and jumping scene of the wolf walker after falling asleep and the wolf soul coming out of the body is like a charcoal sketch, rough and unrestrained, vividly conveying the taste of freedom, while the gray environment and colorful smell/sound track lines connect the perception of the animal. visualize. However, the story and characters are not deep enough, and some places are far-fetched (especially the ins and outs of the father-daughter relationship). Although there are many shadows of [Avatar] [Princess Mononoke] in the play, the setting of female protagonists and female-female cooperation (potential lily love) to save mother/nature and defeat or conquer (anti-domestication) father makes sense . The ending is too fairy tale, and a series of binary oppositions also make the film easy to read in terms of ecocriticism, postcolonialism, queerness, and psychoanalysis. (8.0/10)
