After the Tomb of Fireflies, I once again saw an animated film in District 11 looking back on that era, which was also touching.
Like the Tomb of Fireflies, the perspective focuses on the blind and ignorant ordinary people in the country where the war started; compared to Goodbye to Fireflies, this work is full of romantic style. Although the style of painting is simple, it depicts the scenes of the times finely, using jumping and fantasy. Expand a picture scroll with a long time line.
Although the war has been described from the side, it focuses more on expressing the endless local feelings.
It's just that, perhaps, there is only constant knowledge, and unknown reflection (it is said that when the animation adapted the original work, the important monologue that the heroine felt that she was harming others and herself without knowing it was deleted, reflecting the historical view).
For ordinary people living in small villages, especially women: a gentle and rough accent, a sudden and unskilled white face makeup, even when it is distorted like a picture drawn by the left hand, no matter when the air defense alarm is frequently pulled When it rings, it is still in the daily life of fetching water, washing, picking wild vegetables and preparing for the morning cooking. The description of the humble, powerless and helpless situation that cannot be escaped whether it is to live with the situation or to take the initiative to make a choice is very real. On the same notice board, restrictions on sugar distribution are more concerned than militaristic mobilization.
The talent of the right hand of the heroine in such a country is just to leave some memories for herself and bring some joy to her family. In that era, the talent of the heroine's right hand may also bring the hidden danger of being convicted to herself and her family (although in such a situation The country was treated as a joke after the gendarmerie left), or it could be bombarded with a young life very casually.
With a white light, a broadcast, everything paid is meaningless.
ED finally put the work on this right hand with talent and possibility. Perhaps it was more than romantic, but the pattern was forcibly closed.
(PS I can't remember whether I watched the 120-minute version or the 160-minute version, it's a long orz anyway)
