Produced in 2000, a 100-minute film, short and capable plot, meaningful ending, almost perfect. First of all, it is not long-winded, and vampire-themed movies are the most annoying, expounding some basic vampire knowledge, killing a few to sacrifice ghosts, and adding to the atmosphere. In the past few years, I have watched a lot of Japanese preaching animations, and I really feel very resistant to the protagonist who does not stop preaching. Fortunately, this film is only 100 minutes long. It has packed the rich plot of the original novel into such a short period of time. Everyone No time to talk nonsense. Secondly, the style of painting is novel. I have seen some of the setting pictures drawn by Yoshitaka Amano for the FF series, but my impression is general. The things he draws feel more "floating", but if it is really made into a game or animation, you must settle into a specific image. There are no clouds and mist around the protagonist. The image of this film D is very elegant, and the image of the supporting characters is also European and American. After all, it is a Japanese-American co-production. Fortunately, I have been tired of watching the standard image of Japanese anime in the past few years, and I even saw the face of a little girl. I'm dying of happiness on the pockmarked, so I'm close to reality. Hey. However, it is said that both Amano Yoshitaka and Kikuchi Hideyuki are not satisfied with this film. They think that their illustrations and the essence of the novel are not reflected in the film. I can't guess their thoughts. As far as I am concerned, I am very satisfied. In addition, the music is excellent, especially the ending song "远ままで", I still listen to it, but I checked that this song is not the top-selling single of Do As Infinity, but I’m right about this. The song that comes up with a strong melody and staying power has no resistance. It is said that after the earthquake in Japan, this song was also one of the songs often played by Japanese radio DJs to encourage the victims to rebuild their homes. I checked the lyrics and it was indeed quite suitable.
I am most fortunate that this film is so short, so it looks very rich and full in all aspects. The members of the Max Brothers and Sisters Bounty Group are equipped with special skills, and the abilities of each of the three barbarians are incredible, replaced by ordinary long-winded. It’s a long-winded animation when I meet up. I can’t wait to tell my enemies about my abilities. This film is insulated from these. Even before the heartbreaking fight between D and Mael Link, both parties spoke very little. It's pitiful, they know each other's position very well, and they have chosen to accept this helpless battle; this kind of helplessness is present throughout the story, Layla asked D why he wanted to be a vampire hunter, and D's answer was terribly short: "I'm a mixed blood. , Can’t live as a human.” When Gropp persuaded the eldest brother to give up this hunt to death, Layla’s answer was full of helplessness, not only avenging the dead brother, but also establishing a living as a vampire hunter. reputation. The biggest helplessness throughout the story is D's loneliness. He is not accepted by both parties. He is walking on a road leading to destruction, and this road is terribly long, long enough to see too many relatives and friends ageing and dying. At the end, D’s nod with a calm, smiling smile is so beautiful that it is inextricably beautiful. With the lonely figure riding towards the distant mountains and the ending song that I remembered later, how can it not make people sad?
