A little feeling after watching "Heisei Tanuki War"

1 Who said this is an environmental film? At first glance, Mr. Takahata Isao is shooting an environmental film, but is it actually connoting all kinds of ugly greed in human society...
2 Although the raccoon society is full of joy, it also has the projection of human society, the martial arts faction Quan Tai And the dead men and the special attack team that have never returned... Is it a Showa soldier in the tanuki world! Fortunately, Tanuki's ambition is only to eat delicious food and a better living space, otherwise his Tanuki version of the 226 coup would have succeeded...
3 The monster parade is very interesting, but this part is too Japanese , I really don't understand many details...
4 The ending is not too happy, this is a big praise, after all, not everything that has been lost can be returned. Humans have changed the world with "magic" that is more powerful than the raccoon. Of course, the things that came will not come back, and it is better to be able to wake up.
5 The raccoon is a man, and the man is a raccoon. The setting of this ending is amazing, especially when it is mentioned that the raccoon who is too much has overexploited the mountains and forests with humans...

    ★★★★☆ I was very moved to see the part where I turned into a forest at the end. How stupid are human beings to make their homeland into this ghostly appearance step by step? In fact, this ending is much better than "Avatar"...

    The final ending was handled very cleverly. Unlike "Grave of the Fireflies", which can still make you cry comfortably, it is obviously very sad, but it is still very cheerful. I can't even spit it out, it hurts.

Pom Poko quotes

  • Oroku: Lesser forms of transformation, such as changing color, can be achieved by chameleons, for example. But the true art of transforming can only be practiced by foxes, raccoons and a few cats.

    [the lesson is interrupted by the loud snoring of Gonta, who is sitting in the front row]

    Oroku: Gonta!

    [Gonta wakes with a start and sits upright, assuming the clothes of a police officer]

    Oroku: The fact that you were able to change your appearance like that means you've already mastered the rudimentary techniques of transformation.

  • Koharu: Tamasaburou, I beg you, don't go back to Tama Hills with the transformation masters. The thought of you being so far away from me and the children... I can't stand it! It breaks my heart!

    [Crying, she changes into her anthropomorphic tanuki form and embraces her children]

    Tamasaburô: My darling, I wish that we too could stay together forever. But you must understand.

    Koharu: No, I don't understand. Why can't you stay here with me? The masters can make it to Tama without you. I'll talk to Father and the elders. Why don't you stay behind and be Father's successor?

    [Tamasaburou looks off to the side]
