I watched "Wolf Walker" yesterday, and it was probably the best movie viewing experience in recent times. Talk about some clues other than the plot to help everyone understand the fun of the movie.
1. Irish traditional arts: We will not be soft-hearted where we can hack England. The background of the story is set in the period of the Protector, which is the beginning of British colonization of Ireland. The Protector represents the Anglican Church after the Reformation - solitary, colonization is equivalent to taming the barbarians. To kill the wolves in the movie is to destroy the primitive worship and spiritually destroy the locals. But the English forgot that St. Patrick went on a mission a thousand years ago, and how the earliest apostles co-existed with pagan religions in Ireland. Whether it's the accent, tearing up the knight statue of the protector of the country, or the heroine's name is goodfellowe, it means that you have no conscience in England.
2. Drawing method: There is no perspective vs perspective painting school, it is hard not to think of "My Name is Red", the style of this film is obviously to counter Disney's 3D painting school. For example, the whole picture of the city, the flock of sheep, and the wolf's den in the movie give people the feeling of watching Buddhist stories in a temple. This primitive splendor reminds me of the painters in the novel who insist on the miniature painting school.
3. Witch hunts vs monotheism, the true face of the Middle Ages. The belief of monotheism liberates the human mind, but does not fear nature; polytheism believes that all things have a spirit and coexist with nature. The Wolf Walker is an Irish fairy tale, a legend, and a human imagination before industrial civilization opened up wasteland. The belief in monotheism brings order and destroys these imaginations. The hatred of the colonized country has become a real aesthetic value in maintaining the independence of thought and the diversity of the world.
I like this movie.
