"The Breadwinner" tells the turmoil of the country with a family's story on a larger scale, while "The Secret of the Book of Kells" before him is even more impressed by his pure, exotic and gorgeous style of painting We, this is an early animated feature film directed by Tom Moore (Irish painter, animated film director, partner at animation studio Cartoon Saloon in Kilkenny, Ireland) and the beginning of our understanding of it. The story is that when I first saw the title of the film, I was curious about what kind of existence the Book of Kells was. The first work of the cartoon salon is about the birth of the Irish national treasure, the Book of Kells, which is an ornately decorated Bible Gospel manuscript. At the beginning of each short text, there is a beautiful illustration. He is a Western The masterpiece of calligraphy, representing the peak of Irish island art and painting, is also recognized as Ireland's most precious national treasure. The so-called fate, will always inadvertently undergo earth-shaking changes. The innocent and brave boy Bourdain is full of curiosity about the world outside the monastery, and what awaits him is the endless road of adventure. In that magical forest, he brought a white cat and met a mysterious girl who could transform into a wolf, and his mission was to find a crystal stone and complete the legendary "Book of Kells" . For me, some parts of the storyline are actually still obscure and difficult to understand. Even if I understand the historical background, it is still not easy to understand. In fact, what really attracts me is his fresh and gorgeous hand-painted style. (I was really devoured by the cartoon style of the salon! How can there be such a pure style!) This is a new work, and aside from the story, his style of painting is enough Attractive, I searched for information and found that he has combined many ancient patterns and totems of the Irish nation, national characteristics and gorgeous hand-painted style, each frame is a work, accompanied by ethereal and pure music, this is all It is a visual and auditory enjoyment. In addition to the charming pictures, the mysterious and smart girl in the movie - Aisling is also unforgettable. With green eyes, silver hair, and a light body, he warned the intruder Bourdon, but he still chose to help him and sacrificed his life for it. (Cry here!) The most captivating clip is when she is in the window of the tower, singing the Aisling Song, The enchanted ethereal voice, the silhouette under the moonlight, the white cat beside her, through her small figure, I can see her innocent and fearless character, poignant and distressing, I have seen the beauty of the world With misfortune, he finally chose his beliefs. I've lived so long I've been a salmon running up the river, a deer on the run, and a lone wolf I've seen northern barbarians break into Ireland and plunder gold I've seen torment and suffering in the dark But I've seen beauty in The most vulnerable place grows stronger I have seen that book A book that shines in the eternal night|

Behind the birth of a national treasure is the misfortune experienced by a country, and what the world sees is the handed down beliefs. With the rich history as the background color, the handed down national treasures drawn, and everyone who has worked hard and even their lives behind it is worthy of praise. It is not written to hide behind high walls, but to spread to the world and inspire people. Brandon, you're bringing books to the people so they can have hope. As "the more national, the more the world". The national belief behind the city wall can only be hoped to be spread to the world.
