It's not even a serious film review. I use my idle words to summarize the first film I watched in the summer French intensive semester.
The first half was boring to watch. Fortunately, all kinds of French expressions are very simple, even if the teacher just put French subtitles, we seem to be able to understand. But at first I thought this style was a cartoon for French children. Fortunately, the teacher gave some basic introductions. Director Michel has lived in West Africa since he was a child, so he has the material and roots of his kirikou trilogy.
Looking at West Africa from the perspective of a Frenchman, we should also give some inspiration to children. The color picture is very bright, and the Frenchman is full of imaginative style. At the same time, the arrangement of the film comes from a musician born in Senegal, full of exotic feeling, very special.
Finally, about the theme of this film, it gives children the courage to discover the world, explore and search in this world. It also gave adults the opportunity to examine themselves in this way. Did they lose their courage when chasing life? Only with the opinion of the market, rumors spread and became true.
Finally, a very important concept, brought to children, human nature is good. Even a witch who looks wicked is kind in human nature.
When we see that everyone is kind, we can live happier in this world.
