Ask yourself, if this film is made into a theatrical version, its setup and depth are just ordinary, but if it is shot in a 24-minute TV version, it will become something magical.

The first four or five episodes seem to be made into a collection of short stories that make up the soul. Unexpectedly, the seventh episode begins with the arrest of "Baby Boy", and the plot takes a turn for the worse. The story behind, especially the captain's, can only be done with sadness. describe.

"It's not my time anymore..."

In fact, the tone of the story is not particularly consistent. The first half is realistic, but it is followed by a surreal Japanese animation style ending, not like perfect blue, and finally back to In reality, it looks a little weird. But the individual stories are really interesting. In addition to the unrestrained imagination of the seventh episode, there is also the episode of housewives, the irony of the so-called friendship between housewives, which is really spicy.

The ending isn't particularly interesting. But the whole plot has been drifting between tradition and avant-garde. Some are very weird and some are very traditional. Although they all serve the main body, they have different styles. If such a thing is a theatrical version, it will look messy, but TV is interrupted by episodes, so it doesn't matter. Moreover, the content of each episode is actually a typical story that is only suitable for short stories. If the filming is longer, it will be boring. You can use one animation to unify all these small stories and serve a theme. This is Jin Min's ability.

The narrative technique is as mentioned above. In fact, those who have seen his previous works will find that they are all familiar. But as a TV animation, the film's approach is very bold. In comparison, the TV version of GIS is traditional, and the alternative is comparable. I only remember "Long Live the Royal Ancestor". Do you have any other recommendations?
