Toshi Jin has passed away, Hayao Miyazaki is about to retire, and I am most looking forward to Makoto Hosoda, except for Takahata Isao, the great friend, Oshii Mori, and Shinkai Makoto. Although none of the first three works of the master made me feel excited and bloody, Mamoru Hosoda's delicate expression of relatives' fetters and full of vitality made me have to love this work, a kind of beautiful feeling that directly hits my heart .

I feel that this is Hosoda Mori's most Ghibli-esque work. The young man of [God Hidden] experienced a series of tests and finally grew up. The relationship between Xiong Che and Jiutai is also a teacher, a friend, and a father and son. Jiutai faces his heart. Another choice of his own lotus and finally overcame the dark side of the heart. In the end, the great Xiong Che will always live in the heart of Jiutai. In addition to giving you some cute laughs, there are even more tears in your eyes (especially the memories of the last male protagonist). kill).

Everyone has a dark side inside, and when those psychological shadows expand, they can engulf you. We are all learning more about ourselves and the world. In the real world and the city of monsters, you always have to make a choice. Even if you are an ordinary person, you must also be a person with a strong heart. The strong and gentle are the real strong, because the weak will pretend to be strong and become indifferent. We do not have a great god like Xiong Che in our hearts, but we have a real and warm family, just like giving the bear at a critical moment. Just like Jiu Tai, who is full of enthusiasm, she always gives us strength.

The street scene in Shibuya makes me feel like Makoto Shinkai is possessed. The real scene is really amazing, and the setting of the city of monsters "Shetian Street" feels a bit like a small street in Gulangyu. The scenery is beautiful and peaceful. atmosphere. The scene of the final duel is also too beautiful. Every time the whale jumps out, it is extremely amazing. Xiong Che turns into the ninety-nine gods and becomes the sharp blade in Jiutai's heart. The confrontation between fire and water, the contest between justice and evil, finally achieved a happy ending. In fact, it always feels a bit anticlimactic, but the foreshadowing at the beginning is also a bit long. Personally, the most moving part is the duel between Xiong Che and Zhuwangshan (whether it is the picture or the sound effect). The feeling of supporting and growing up, the bridge section of traveling around, is the feeling of the senior brother and the second junior brother, plus the black bear essence and the Tang monk fetching scriptures. It is just a white dragon.

I have always loved animations of various monsters and ghosts walking at night. Sometimes I feel that monsters are much purer than humans. Humans are too complex creatures with too many mental activities and scheming. Become a great god, but in this world, it is estimated that it is very difficult for people to achieve a calm state without distractions. So I still obediently go to see my second dimension and look for a pure land there.

Life is a practice. In a limited time, you can constantly improve yourself and create unlimited possibilities. In the process of our practice, the people we meet may become the objects of our study, just like the relationship between Xiong Che and Jiutai. Xiong Che grew from a weak boy to a master of martial arts, and Jiutai grew from a lazy and useless person. To become a generation guru, Chai states.

There is a road full of trouble in front of us. We drag all kinds of burdens and sway along the bumpy road. But as long as you continue on your prosperous journey, you can meet the truth in your life and see new hope. The seiyuu of the PS movie is also too luxurious. Yakusho Hiroji, Miyazaki Aoi, Someya Shota, Hirose Isi, et al. The parts of soy sauce are all Oguri Shun. It can also be said that this time is a compromise by Hosoda Mori, combining the styles of Ghibli and Shinkai Makoto, and the commercial reputation is to win both.
