After watching this animated movie in the early morning when my heart was extremely impetuous, yes, I stayed up all night, always watching something to temporarily divert my anxiety.
Interestingly, the original book of this Japanese anime is an English fairy tale. As for whether it was the author's original intention to let the Japanese team make the production, I was a little afraid to go into it at first. Mrs. Stewart died in 2014, and the animation studio was established in 2015. Probably, it is already obvious. I thought that I would not have to pay high copyright fees, but after verification, copyright law will still protect copyright until December 31, 50 years after the author's death. It's actually a little touched that even if you have left this world, the law will still protect your rights until fifty years later. Let those who think that the work of the author can be used at will without the slightest offense.
Besides, these guys made it great, didn't they? The ending song is "Rain" by End of The World, it's nice, I'm listening.
The protagonist of the story is also called Mary, probably the author wants her to complete a journey that does not exist for him. Mary has strange red hair and is always unpopular in the real world, seemingly not doing anything well.
On the day it all started, before entering the forest, she spoke out her thoughts to Peter: "I want to change myself too!" Maybe, we were all like this, because we were disliked or envied of others. In life, I always want to grow up quickly, so that I have the ability to change the things I don't like. When I really grew up, I found that I had gradually lost the self who wanted to change everything, and I was hesitant and no longer brave.
At the end of the story, Mary kept the promise she made to Peter - "Let's go home together!", and pressed the hand of Peter, who had been shackled by powerful magic, on the spell that dispelled all magic, when all magic was about to disappear , Mary told that mighty force firmly "We don't need magic".
But once, she was also so intoxicated by the sense of accomplishment brought by that powerful force.
"People always crave great power, and even if some power is beyond our control, we believe that it will work the second time."
Magic, alludes to current technology. Even if we know that some experiments will have dire consequences, we still want to be rewarded for success. Maybe power, maybe weapons.
I'm not very against power control. It's just that I can't accept that I know that something will hurt innocent people, but I expect it to happen because I can get what I've longed for for a long time. If the price of getting rich overnight is to kill someone thousands of miles away, and no one will know it's about you, would you? This must be a cruel question. Cruel? Maybe people's responses were more cruel.
Those who answer yes, what if this person who is thousands of miles away is you?
