The following is a synopsis of the plot: Two owl brothers from a happy family, one is pure and kind and has big dreams, which seems unrealistic; the other is competitive and doubts everything, but fears authority, very practical but not outstanding. The two of them—no, it was the two birds who sneaked out to further consolidate the most basic maneuvers of flying on the night of learning to jump, and were captured by the evil forces. The innocent and kind one who is not afraid of the oppression of power, after getting a girlfriend, he learned to fly semi-self-taught, and then found his dream: the legendary guardian residence, and then learned more combat skills, and fought against evil forces in the guardian army In the process, he acted as a hero, and finally killed the leader of the evil forces, and finally became the legendary figure he longed for in his dreams; while the other, because he was afraid of power, became a lackey of power, and in order to gain power, he betrayed his sister and plotted against his own. Younger brother, who fell into the sea of flames in the final sibling rivalry is unknown, but he is expected to become the new leader of the evil forces—from this point of view, this is just an ordinary person with a well-developed Oedipus—no, it’s just an ordinary bird, And for Kun Lang's description, I always feel that the focus is not enough. Well, the following comments will come later.
As for the protagonist Selin, it is naturally the style of the protagonist, who is stupid and naive but has enough talent and intuition - "Trust your gizzard!" There is nothing special to comment. But the description of Sailin's flying in the movie is really exciting and impulsive. At first, the tension of flapping the wings, until the feathers open, slowly turn and change the direction in the wind, so that Sailin is above the air flow, the feeling of gliding is It seems that people really fly with Sailin and swim in the sky. Just based on the detailed description of its flight in the film, it is the protagonist who does its part - can you find who can fly better than it? Who can make you feel the same comfortable flying feeling?
Then Kun Lang, the villain, is less poetic and free than his younger brother. Its flight at the beginning was not as good as its younger brother, and its subsequent flight was also under the pressure of the "pure-bred" kingdom. It couldn't fly well, and survival was a problem, so its flight was fast and violent, but it was not long-lasting and relaxing enough to enjoy. The fun of flying. But Kunlang is a more interesting character than Sailin. The conventional way of acting should be that Kun Lang lived carefully in the "pure-bred" kingdom, and finally saw his brother's freedom and justice, pondered deeply, and then turned his back on evil, and even sacrificed his life to return to justice. But the writer-director chose to subject him to power. Chasing the power of winners and losers. This is absolutely true in terms of the growth of a person, not a bird. The meaning that the director wants to express is probably that it is sad to have no dreams, but I do think that if he has the idea of doubting the legend of the Guardian, then he will not be so gullible about rights. Such a change can be explained psychologically, after all, the development of "identity" is a whitewash of compromise on the basis of irresistibility. But as a movie, such a transition is too simple and unnatural.
The others, that is, Kun Lang and Sailin's younger sister, Elaine, is really very tolerant. The villain's queen is so charming. The guardian king and queen are white owls which are so pretty. Because I read the Mandarin version, I think the translation is simply too classic. Even "Brother Sharp" was put in. It is estimated that the impression of this movie is so good, and the classic and funny self-created translations contributed to it.
After thinking about it, the most fascinating thing about this movie is the detailed expression of the owl's flight process. This is probably the ultimate human dream.
Give birth to wings to fly freely.
Also my ultimate dream.
