Bright theme, flat narrative

Scoring: 7 points/10 points reflect the second child problem and the real problems of fathers' parenting. The focus is on inspiring parents how to treat two children equally in the process of children's growth, how older children should get along with younger children, and how The question of late marriage was mentioned. My brother said that the painting style is a bit like Hayao Miyazaki's, and I think there are some similarities in certain places (some of Xiaojun's demeanor is somewhat like the younger sister Xiaomei in "My Neighbor Totoro"), the works of Hayao Miyazaki, Makoto Shinkai and Mamoru Hosoda There are similarities - love for the world and concern for human beings, but Mamoru Hosoda's screenwriting skills are currently good such as Hayao Miyazaki and Makoto Shinkai. This realistic theme is good, and it caught my eye at first, giving 8 points , Later, with the advancement of the narrative, it was interspersed with the story of Xiaojun and the dog Yuko who turned into a human (knowing that Yuko did not get the same treatment as before after Xiaojun was born, Xiaojun asked his father to buy Yuko a better dog. food), the future of growing up (cooperating to put the dolls away), the mother in childhood (knowing not to put toys around), the great-grandfather (learning to ride a bicycle), the grown-up self (running away from home to the future, It shows that the Shinkansen is very advanced and is trapped there), the narrative is ordinary, and in the end, Xiaojun is still frightened by the transformation of his sister (・●・). Moreover, the director mostly uses fixed shots (the background remains unchanged, the characters move), close-ups (the part above the character's chest) and close-ups (the character's face), but Xiaojun's feelings for the future did not change much until half an hour before the end (the main storyline did not change much). Too much push), the overall plot seems a bit boring, and my rating for this animated film has dropped to 7. In addition, the setting of late marriage if the dolls are not collected in time at the beginning and the end of the lines of parents and mothers are very obvious (ノ=Д=)ノ┻━┻ Hosoda Mori, who was about 50 years old when making this animated film, is also Broke my heart for Japan's low birth rate.

    6/10. Before entering the magic moment, various family disputes lacked the progressive relationship of the plot, relying on small life events, such as Xiaojun's love for tram toys, accidentally discovering that his breath was exhaling a mist on the window, these small events did not serve As the plot progresses, it's mediocre and boring. The home in the film is the dining room, the kitchen and the living room are one piece, and the front hall is divided into another layered structure. The family-like oak tree is planted in the central courtyard to serve as a guide for time and space travel, which is more conducive to the omission of time and space for the continuity of the shots, such as expressing the future. The Xiaojun and the future went to replace the dolls for the daughter's festival without telling their father, and moved from the starting room to the lower one at the bottom of the stairs, but such a lens design is commonplace. The play guides the protagonist to see the real life through the people who pass through, like Xiaojun's loss of favor and the encounter with his young mother in the rain echoes (Xiaojun learned how to put a note in high heels to express his wishes), Xiaojun rides a motorcycle with his great-grandfather Carrying the fear of breaking through cycling, there is a hag among the passers-by mothers with big eyes when they get lost in the subway battle. The great-grandfather's left leg was shot and the red hand scar in the future enhances the richness of children's fantasy.

    There were a lot of bad reviews before the release, but I think it's good. The theme is "empathy" - the ability to imagine other people's situations is to grow up. (It is estimated that it is entirely from the second child experience of Hosoda Mori)
