The protagonists of the story are two boys, Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai. (That Bai was once misunderstood by me as a girl. I don't know if my thinking was too stereotyped, or it was the relationship between the seiyuu.) At the beginning of the film, the movie staged a chasing battle. The dynamic camera moves quickly and smoothly, and the city scenes are constantly changing in front of us. Especially when they appeared together on the top floor, the "Five O'Clock Plan" scene was so grand and magnificent, it was really amazing! It can be said that this is the biggest feature of this movie.
Takamachi is pure style. This city has too much beauty from the past, and the characteristics of Southeast Asia, Japan, and even India are involved. If you look carefully, there is a scene in which a China Unicom signboard appears.
The plot of the movie is not very complicated, but it is mixed with a lot of unrealistic elements, which seems to be a little confusing. But as long as you keep up with the rhythm of the film, you will gradually be attracted by this somewhat magical taste. Black and white represent the two sides of the world. Xiao Hei is the night of the world, directly speaking, the dark side. He is cruel, bloody, full of ill-will, and quite a bit like killing a god. Xiaobai, on the other hand, is pure, and no matter what the environment is, it cannot pollute his heart. In this way, Xiaobai should be powerless and vulnerable, but in the movie Xiaobai has a thought-provoking line: "Everyone created by God is imperfect. Xiaohei is also, Xiaobai has Xiaohei's heart less. The screw." As powerful as Xiao Hei, Xiao Bai cannot be lacking, they are complementary and inseparable. This sentence also established the tone of the film, light saves darkness.
But if this film really just swaggers under such a banner, it is destined to be submerged in many educational films. The film uses a lot of magical techniques. Xiaobai's apple tree grows vigorously. This is not reality, but it has wider practical significance. After watching it for a long time, I have also been separated by reality and non-reality. In this movie, the souls of the characters are wandering, the evil of Xiao Hei is "Itachi", and there are too many things that are difficult to distinguish between true and false, and there is a bit of Garcia Márquez's shadow.
Speaking of ferrets, there is another interesting point in the movie. Different characters of cats, mice, snakes, and ferrets are given different names. You can take a closer look. According to the rules of the biological chain, the fate of these people is not determined early in the morning. Is it set! If you think about it this way, the movie adds a bit of fatalism.
Light saves darkness, rumbling machines destroy entire cities, and huge social changes have changed so many things.
To be, or not to be—that is the question.
