It was stupid at the time, I dubbed it for Yuu Aoi and wanted to watch it. The funny thing is, then I saw the English version.
Just like "Cat Soup", there are gorgeous colors, one playground after another. The people targeted by the movie are not children. It is a group of young people who have come out of fairy tales and are forced to accept the rules of adult society.
"The Bad Boy" takes the line of magical realism. Marvel at the huge imagination of Matsumoto Dayo, softening the beauty of Japan and the simplicity of the West. Intricate buildings, giant Ferris wheel, mottled gravel alleys, lively playground. All the colors are soft and warm, and all the beautiful colors build up the abandoned city - Treasure Town. The most beautiful place is actually that deserted corner, where white and black live. There are scrapped cars, goldfish in dirty glass tanks, discarded puppets, an apple tree that is watered every day but doesn't sprout. The image design of the characters is more unexpected, white and black. Xiaobai, with a round head, is holding a worn-out rag doll and a little kid with a snot on his face. Xiao Hei, dirty clothes, long hair covering his eyes, evil single eyelid boy.
White. A very lonely child, he said that he was afraid of the dark, and that black made him think of death. He is a weak child, innocent and kind, with a tender face, and believes that everything is good.
black. A very violent child. He fears no one, and he loves to fight and fight. Bai is his spiritual pillar. The reason for his existence is to protect Shiro.
The themes of the movie contain many. The expansion of cities and the belonging of people with nowhere to go, is one of them. There is no city that belongs to me, only the city that belongs to me. Cities are built by human beings, and in the end, it is these cities that we have made ourselves that trap us. "There is no room for tears and no time for depression, otherwise, we will be killed by the city." When the city we live in is becoming increasingly small and renovated, alienated beyond recognition, how can we save and restore it?
The film is impeccably refined, with the rusted body of the carousel, the old sofa that has been abandoned for a long time and covered in dust, and the walls with slight cracks. Bai's lines are like narration, but also like talking to himself, holding his puppet, watching the setting sun, fearing the coming darkness. Bai hates winter very much and will cry when it arrives. Bai didn't like the story of ants and crickets, he always cried. He said, "People always say I'm small, but I'm always bigger than an ant."
Bai, he can always say, "Be happy, Be happy. Peace of mind."
When he raised his innocent face, why? Have the heart to tell him these false lies and sinister plans.
i can see you
i can hear you
i can feel you
i can touch you
i can smell you
but i can't read you.
The city is too cold, bustling but empty. The final belonging is to cast their own little planet like Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai, and protect them well.
This kind of movie is always like this. I have watched it for a long time, but I still can't get my head around it. This kind of movie, always like this, has been written for a long time, and I don't know what to say other than quoting its lines all the time.
