"Picture Thinking"
Westley 2022-03-24 09:03:22
Makoto Shinkai's perception and attainment of the beauty of light and shadow in animation pictures has reached a pinnacle. The result of excessive pursuit of the picture is the neglect of things outside the picture - especially the story and the characters. The story of "Children Chasing the Stars" seems to be similar. Every character in the story is like a marionette, behind and in front of them is nothing but beautiful scenery. Although the setting such as the gods of another world is a little new, it only starts to exert force in the second half of the animation. The heroine's feelings for Shun are not credible, and her sudden transformation into a sunshine girl at the end of the animation also makes people feel awkward because the story jumps too much. Aliens can hide in the shadows, water that can make people breathe, the above-ground organization to track down the underground world, the scenery of another world, and why Shun came to the above-ground world, etc. The plot elements that could have been unfolded with great fanfare are all in the hands of Xin Haicheng. pass by. The whole animation has no flash except for some landscape wallpapers that can be used as computer desktops.
