The works of Hayao Miyazaki are still enduring after 30 years, and I love Makoto Shinkai so much because they have always adhered to one of the oldest animation techniques - hand-painting. Today, when the screen is filled with celluloid plastic balls, this ancient craft has begun to regain its vitality. There are so many master painters who are determined to pursue traditional beauty. First, we can be here today. See different colors on the screen.
Giants, elves and seal girls, I am not familiar with the traditional mythology of the Irish nation, but the director's delicate brushwork can still easily infect the audience. There are huge stone statues weathered into islands in the sea, fantastic murals on the walls, and inconspicuous elf fossils in the grass and jungles. In mythology, everything in the world consists of active creatures who take care of the little boy’s return home. In fact, As soon as it returns to nature, the ideal blueprint for harmony and dependence is exactly the same as the core idea of Ghibli animation. There are no esoteric skills, just relying on very simple geometric lines to outline the entire animation, which also echoes the purpose of pursuing a simple life. This is probably because of the charm of local legends. The urban human beings who made life complicated and were overwhelmed by heavy pressure suddenly became enlightened in front of the flat image.
The greatest significance of the film is to give the peoples of the eastern mainland a glimpse of the simple and simple style of the small island country on the westernmost edge of the Eurasian territory. The brother who gradually grew into a strong man and used his little cloak to protect his sister is touching. The one about love and care is very cute. , A sweet little story, like taking a sip of Irish whiskey, cool and mellow.
It's a very good work. It's a pity that the cultural differences can't be read deeper. I recommend it to all those who like the natural style of painting and do not collect it.
