It didn't take long for me to enter the world in the film, and I had a deep respect for the film's producer, Bones Club. The story should take place at the turn of autumn and winter. Most of the scenes in the film are drawn with realistic watercolor techniques, which are refreshing and acceptable. Especially in some distant scenes, the large-scale static pictures, cliffs, trees and sandy soil all show the color of vicissitudes of life, and the layers of forest are dyed. This technique can set off a sense of desolation, indirectly indicating that the world has suffered of pain. From my experience alone, this style is the first to experience, and only animation can achieve such expressiveness.
The characters in this film are also relatively finely drawn, and the portrayal of facial expressions and demeanor is even more skillful. Moderate exaggeration is also of great help to the charm of the characters. Nameless unruly, Luo Lang's coldness, lord's greed, Bai Luan's The wild vision of the city, the knotweed, and the various expressions of the villagers, all kinds of characters, no matter how big or small, can leave a very different impression on people, even if the plot of this film is still relatively conventional and simple, this does not affect the audience's memory at all. Live the living images, even the old fisherman fishing under the bridge.
The fight scene is the highlight of the film. Although it does not take up a long time in the whole film, each scene can leave a deep impression on people. I have to mention the director Ando, who is good at making these fighting animations and has his own Unique expressiveness, especially for the treatment of blood and sweat splashes, there is indeed a harmony of power and beauty as clear water flows over the nameless and scarred torso. On the other hand, the scenes of various killings have become more intense due to it, so they are more bloody and cruel, especially in the multi-party melee at the end of the film, the feeling of killing is more straightforward, so I say this It is also not suitable for very young audiences.
In the end, this film still perfectly shows a microcosm of the era of war and chaos. The appearance of all beings under the chaotic historical background must be more real and attractive. The last figure is left alone. In fact, there is very little ink on his life experience in the film, and we can still feel that only he has defeated himself.
If you can enjoy this film on the big screen, it can indeed be said to be a kind of enjoyment. It is a pity that the only Japanese animation movies that can be seen in the cinemas of the Celestial Dynasty are probably only Conan. In order to make the animation market develop more formally and orderly, it is an essential step to expand the adult audience of animation.
