When I watched the first minute, I said this is Hayao Miyazaki? After I read it, I found that it turned out to be a collection of 30 years of classic masterpieces.
If this film appeared 30 years earlier, it would definitely be an incomparable masterpiece, but in 2011, this film cannot be raised too high.
In this film, I have seen too many classic movies. Different from Second 5 and The Garden of Words, Brother Cheng hopes to transform into a work that emphasizes both commercialization and human culture like Gong's movies in this work, but how can Hayao Miyazaki's depth be able to catch up in a few years? I think Shinkai Makoto himself discovered this problem after trying it out, so the Garden of Words immediately returned to his own style. Hayao Miyazaki is difficult to imitate, and it is best not to imitate, it is enough for Brother Cheng to insist on his own style.
Going back to this film, the background of the picture is like Totoro, part of the spirit of Shunhe teacher is like a white dragon, Geweisi is very similar to the sky stone in both shape and use, and the human form Adrico is like the mechanical guardian of the city in the sky, The ideology of the heart is like Asidaka of Princess Mononoke, with some connotations of pursuing the truth, cherishing the dead, Kabbalah, the tree of life, Asuna's self-meditation (Shinji), and the heart saving Asuna (Shinji and Rezai), all have The shadow of EVA and steelmaking FA. That's right, Hayao Miyazaki, EVA, and steel are all used by him, because I happen to have a deep research on this kind of animation, so I can see all the details.
Therefore, watching this film alone is not bad, but the imitation is too serious, and if you combine it with Brother Cheng's mood, you will find his purpose. On the whole, this film is incompatible with his other works. The so-called eternal theme of "crossing the sense of distance through time and space through missing" does not appear, or it appears incomplete and unclear.
Fortunately, the Court of Words and Leaves has returned to its own track. So everyone should let go of Brother Cheng's work. After all, there should always be some failed attempts on the road to success. I admit that I didn't write a good review about this film, I just complained that some of the imitations of this film were too serious.
