A French cartoon from 1980. Has a very Zhou Zheng Mandarin dubbing.
The animation is vivid and vivid, and it was created by the famous French animation master Paul Gurimaud.
The music for the film is also quite good. It is the work of the famous Polish composer Wojciech Kilar, who was greatly influenced by John Cage and made an exploratory fusion of Polish folk music and classical music. He wrote the well-known "City of Angels" and Roman Polanski's "Ninth Gate" and "The Pianist".
The King and the Bird is based on Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale The Shepherdess and the Chimney Sweeper. And "The King and the Bird" subtly embeds this fairy tale as a magical detail in the entire cartoon, and then spreads out like water waves. The real king, the king who exists as a portrait, the bird, the shepherdess, the chimney sweep, the blind man who touches the lion with music, the omnipotent robot, etc., all started a secret animation process around this basic story.
A palace like a castle. There are elevators that are easy to operate and go directly to the king's secret room, automated ships that travel through the palace like yachts, and dungeons that appear at any time when the king presses a button.
Kings live in such palaces. He was ugly, cross-eyed and lame. The people who painted him fell into the dungeon where the button appeared at the bottom of his feet. He's brutal, and he's gentle, when he confronts his inner world. On the highest level of the palace is his private chamber. There, he expressed his deep love to the shepherdess in the painting.
After expressing it, he fell into a deep sleep.
At this time, the shepherdess on the picture and the chimney sweeper on the picture began to express their mutual admiration. Aroused the jealousy of the king on the next frame. Under the speeches of the sculptured old knight, the shepherdess and the chimney sweeper began to bravely rush to the happy world outside. The king in the picture, however, tried his best to chase, only to be found by the king in the nightgown. The king on the picture skillfully pressed the button, and the real king entered the dungeon neatly.
The king in the picture is the only king. He continued chasing the shepherdess. "Look, look, there's a bounty. There's a charming shepherdess, and a pauper who sweeps the chimney, under the orders of His Majesty the 5th plus three equals the eighth, and the eighth plus eight equals the sixteenth. Police pursuit."
A fierce battle.
On one side is the king and his domineering entourage.
On one side are the knowledgeable little bird who was persecuted by the king, the beautiful shepherdess, and the young chimney sweep.
then.
On one side is the wedding of the king and the grieving shepherdess.
On one side is the resistance of the bird and the chimney sweeper in the dungeon.
result.
The bird and the chimney sweeper led the trapped people and animals in the dungeon and rushed out. With the music that can capture the heart of the lion and the passion for a free life.
rushed out.
Bird manipulates the king's powerful weapon, the robot (the inspiration for Hayao Miyazaki's "Castle in the Sky"), destroying the castle, and in the ruins, on a dark background, the robot falls into deep thinking. Vast silence: as if the breath of life could no longer be seen. Can't even see light. At this time, the bird's child struggled in the cage again, and the robot stretched out its fist and smashed the cage used to capture the bird. Stop there: firm and hesitant.
Finish.
The hatred was spread. And all were destroyed. There will be no nests, warm nests built on the top of the palace by birds that are happy and comfortable in the sun; no shepherdes and chimney sweeps will happily look at the stars, the sky, and touch the heights of happiness. Is everything to be denied? Is everything to be violently destroyed until there is little left? How to spread hatred? How to deal with anger?
Use hatred to destroy hatred, and hatred will grow; use anger to dissolve anger, and anger is still brewing.
I would rather this anger not defuse.
