#electric light phantom# The original version of "Wolf Walker", I thought it was magical, but it was actually brave.
The director of the animated film is Tom Moore, Tomm Moore, I have seen "Song of the Sea" and "The Breadwinner" produced by their cartoon studio before. Both of these films are quite liked, so when I found this common point, I still have some expectations.
The movie gave me what I expected.
The story takes place in Kilkenny, Ireland in 1650. English girl Robin lives with her father in this pre-colonial Irish town, and they try to put down roots, and the locals are not kind to them. In this colonial city, Duke Protector is the biggest ruler, and he says nothing, and he hopes that every word he says will be strictly enforced. Robin's father was employed by Duke Protector to scavenge wolves around the city to ensure the smooth progress of other tasks.
The simple environment is the gentlest foreshadowing built in contrast, and the protagonist Robin, as always, has become a restless factor, with all kinds of restless clues, connecting the story of the movie. When the simple life was broken, the little girl strayed into the forest, with the innate attitude of the city people, met the wolf walker in the forest, witnessed the miracle, and felt the friendly attitude of different creatures towards each other. After trying to look at the problem from a different angle, a person's choice of life and where to go has become her life topic.
In fact, halfway through the movie, or even after most of the time, I was in a state of disappointment. Everything in the film is advancing in a routine manner, with ups and downs in the plot, bizarre experiences and performances, there is no problem with these, but the expected tenacity of the heroine is not seen in the film. In previous works, the quality and character of the protagonists have been revealed from the very beginning. The advancement of the film is only a supplementary addition, which can make the characters of the protagonists more profound step by step. It's harder and more intense at the beginning. And the film "Wolf Walker" is not like this. Although the previous part has shown many good attributes of girls, in the face of elders and power, the attitude of right and wrong, the little girl is still ambiguous, even in the middle Part of her attitude is so confused that I am not very good, and I feel that I can directly evaluate it as weak. So this plot was beyond my expectations, and I felt chest tightness. Who knows, it's never too late to reverse this matter. The long-awaited tenacity and bravery only manifested at a critical moment, as if he had finally decided to face it, and the protagonist has the appearance of the protagonist, which is gratifying.
I think I'm still cookie cutter. In the process of being too eager to see the result, and entangled in what to play, at a certain moment, the meaning of the protagonist still cannot be revealed. But the film gives a softer push.
Human growth is a long and complex process. I have always been more willing to believe in the principle of "in the beginning of man, nature is inherently evil". There are too many predatory and too much harm in the natural needs of human beings. The control of these attributes is often in a person's continuous growth. In the process, if you are influenced and suppressed bit by bit, if you go along with that self, the attitude of human beings may be even more terrifying.
We escape, face weakness, and habitually accept our fate. These are all acceptances in our natural nature. Maybe not entirely innate, but we are very good at grasping the essentials. Instead, we face it, speak bluntly, and even be brave. choice of price.
When Robin, the protagonist in the film, faced the various problems in front of me with tears in his face, I was so anxious. The expected brave and responsible protagonist did not appear. Why is the protagonist with such negative emotions? But she will transform, and she will meet the magical one. Not only does she see the beauty of the magical, but it also inspires her attitude of being a part of it. Similarly, Robin's father, although he is a hunter in the film, is always doing his best to face the wolves, but he is actually afraid of wolves. When he turned into a wolf walker with a wolf body, his eyes were full of fear. In the conversation with his daughter Robin, he himself said that he was afraid, afraid of wolves and wolves, and also afraid of rulers like Duke Protector and their arbitrary rights. Just such an adult, his fearful attitude towards many things has actually taken shape. He carefully restrained his attitude, for fear of doing something wrong, but he is such a person who hides all his cowardice in his heart, but when he is a daughter, When he was in danger, he was the man who tried his best to transform himself, trying his best to protect his daughter's father.
When people's hearts are pure and kind, and they are brave, they have the possibility to become wolf walkers. So is the daughter, so is the father.
If I had to choose, in fact, I still love "The Breadwinner" more. Although it is a blatantly tragic tone, it is more straightforward than the combination of strengths and weaknesses in this film. However, the style of "Wolf Walker" is more cute. The two mothers and daughters of Wolf Walker are even cuter. Still highly recommended.
However, in the last part of the film, I am still a little confused about the scene where the four people ride in the carriage together. Could it be that the parents of the two children collided with sparks of love, which is really a perfect ending.
Your choice hides your character.
Finally, I would like to add that Robin's father in the cartoon, his voice actor is Sean Bean. Yes, he is the one in the Lord of the Rings, which makes people happy.
