In the king's secret apartment, a painter is adding the final brushstrokes to the king's portrait, but he forgot to draw a cage first, so the portrait is occupied by the soul of the deceased king. In an instant, all the mysterious phenomena become clear, and all the unexplained things have a reason. The shepherdess and the chimney-sweeper also come to life in the painting, and they confess their love for each other; but the king is in love with the shepherdess, so the lovers must escape the police, but are also assisted by the Mockingbird.
Although this is a cartoon, the moral in it is really not something that children can understand. The story should be alluding to the French Revolution. In the film, "Charles fifth plus three equals eighth, eighth plus eight equals sixteenth His Majesty" is very similar to Louis XVI, and the dark underground city is reminiscent of a bus. hell. Shepherdess and chimney sweeps yearn for freedom and love, and they still have chimneys leading to freedom in a world without windows. And the most defiant is the bird. It rescued its son from the king's guns, mocked the king's serenity mercilessly, and even encouraged the wolf and tiger to overthrow the king, and drove the giant robot to destroy the entire kingdom into ruins.
It should be mentioned that the blind musician in the dungeon symbolizes the pursuit of freedom. Although he is blind, he still maintains his belief that there is a world of freedom and light. He longs to bathe in the warmth of the sun and hear the sound of birds flapping their wings. He exclaimed in surprise, "I know there is another world on the ground! Sunshine, birds, they all exist! (to the point)" It was very, very touching to see this. There is faith in life, and there is hope, isn't it?
It's hard to describe how touched I was by the scene sitting on the ruins after the robot destroyed the entire city. He sat down tiredly, his head slightly sideways, as if thinking about something. In the distance is the horizon of dawn. The place that once was a glorious kingdom has been broken into ruins, and the people who escaped have been displaced and lost their whereabouts. Destroying tyranny destroys everything at the same time, and whether the future of the people is as hopeful as the dawn of the dawn, we do not know. I'll never forget the scene at the end of the film: when the giant robot uses its thick fingertips to open the cage door holding the last little bird, the bird slowly jumps out. Then, it clenched its huge fist and smashed the birdcage symbolizing prison. The fist fell heavily, and the ground shook. The music starts and the camera freezes.

Suddenly, the time I remembered was frozen in time about twenty years ago. I was probably just five years old. My grandma was supposed to be taking a nap and naughty I was playing with some toys on the other side of the bed. At that time, I liked playing with small toys. There were German, American, Italian, yes, and little Japanese. The Japanese were always defeated in my battles, that never changed. The Japanese were the worst bad guys I know when I was a kid.
When the news on TV was over, I felt very boring, so I turned off the TV. Started my unfinished "battle" all by myself. Among children, it's not too much to play "Little Soldiers" for three hours in a row like me. I don't care whether my mental state was normal at the time. In short, he was very patient, and placed hundreds of standing "little soldiers" on the uneven bed, over and over again.
Although my "stamina" is good, it is always a child. After three hours, I was tired. So, I turned on the TV. There is a cartoon being broadcast. At that time, there were very few cartoons on TV stations, and it was usually at a fixed time every day. People in that era were very aware of it. I am so excited! When I was a child, I loved watching TV cartoons, but unfortunately I only have a pitiful, less than half an hour a day.
I suddenly discovered that the cartoon didn't start from the beginning. It had already started for a while when I watched it, but I don't know how long it lasted. At the time, that didn't affect me at all from looking at it. But when I saw the bad king and the police chasing the little girl in the cartoon, the power went out in my house.
You can imagine how painful this is for a lonely little boy who has just discovered a cartoon that excites him. I clearly remember that I was so angry that I cried at that time, and I was especially wronged. "Why did the power go out again?" My grandmother lived in an old building, and the fuses used at that time were very easy to blow.
I don't know how long it took before the call came. Turn on the TV and the cartoons are gone. However, the content of the cartoon is always stored in my memory. But I just don't know what it's called. I grew up, until one day I accidentally saw a familiar picture on TV again, the title of the film in the lower left corner of the screen: "The King and the Bird!!!" I exclaimed! Finally got it!
I also downloaded one online and put it on my computer. Later, I also went to a video store, but I never found one that sold it. But accidentally found it in a very secret "black shop", D9 DVD, Mandarin pronunciation, and French. I picked up another one. I have a DVD in my collection, but also my childhood memories.
