Fascinated characters, weird plot

In the face of Mr. Miyazaki, I felt quite uncomfortable watching this animation of Mr. Miyazaki.

The introduction of the plot is not complete, and many places are quite strange. For example, when the prince comes up, he kills the king and then runs away~~~~ The plot continues without any introduction. After that, there are more and more similar strange things, here I won't say more, anyway, I read it once and there are many plots that I can't understand, and I don't understand why there is such a plot. There is nothing moving or humorous in the whole article. The plot of the animation of the old man is much clearer, although some places are a little strange, but those plots also have "burden" in them, and the plot is interspersed with humorous elements.

Although there are very few characters, they do not portray their personalities, and there is an obvious trend of facialization. The good people have a straight face and a square face, while the bad people are stooped, and the bad people are from the beginning to the end. The same face, nothing changed. There are many variables in the animation of the old man (in fact, it can be guessed). The bad people are not so bad, and the good people are not so good. Everyone makes certain actions for their own interests, and the characters that appear in the animation of the old man are average There are a lot of them, and the hearts of the characters are very delicately portrayed. I think the most interesting ones are those pirates in "City in the Sky", who came up to be extremely vicious, but later became the friends of the protagonist.

The style of painting closely follows many of the works of the old man. At first glance, it can be seen that it is the work of the Miyazaki family, people (people from the East), dragons (turned out to be dragons from the West). The depiction of the scenery is also not delicate (Miyazaki originally relies on the inner depiction to attract the audience, not the landscape paintings).

Music, due to the poor animation, I didn't listen to the music carefully, so I didn't give much comment, especially the song sung by the girl with a scar on the face interspersed in the middle, I was extremely upset when I heard it, because it was too abrupt... a People sing in the wild for 3 minutes, and a person standing next to them listens. I find it too weird anyway.

    The plot is not compact, the explanation is unclear, and the character modeling is too rough compared to other Ghibli animations.

    After the killing of the father, death is also the gift of life~ The screenwriter is slightly weaker, and the picture inherits the DNA of the Miyazaki family well.
