Humanistic care for the cold-hearted

My evaluation of "Son of Wolves Rain and Snow" is actually quite bothering me, because for me, the best animation works should only be "Ghost in the Shell" five, plus "Toy Story" "Three, "walle", and "Howl's Moving Castle" and "City in the Sky".
Among them, the ones I willingly identified should be the five "Ghost in the Shell" and "Howl's Moving Castle", and "walle" and "City in the Sky" have emotional tendencies, while others, or It is more or less suspicious of feelings, just like the infinitely loved "Toy Story". As for the son of the wolf, I once put it in a nine-point position, but when I think about it, it should be worth ten. After all, it is a work that is emotionally delicate to the extreme, and it is enough to remind me of my mother's work.
After all, the excellence of a movie is not only because of the movie itself, or ideological theory, or projection of history and society, or even chicken soup for the soul, a story, an emotional shock, should also be recognized as the excellence of the movie. In fact, Mamoru Hosoda should have fired the jeep by himself. After all, the spatial sense of scenery and characters created by 3D technology and rendering technology blends with traditional hand-painted 2D, and uses these to show the performance of the characters, or the empty shots. The delicacy of every movement and body language in this work makes the whole work extremely warm and touching.
One of the scenes that touched me the most in the work was that when the "he" died, the flower's umbrella fell, and all the sound disappeared in an instant, leaving only the "he" in the wolf's body lying in the rain, and the next second, the flower's Close-up close-up, surprise and fear burst out in an instant, but only a single sound can be made, tears and rain are mixed together, but they drift together. At the end of this scene, there is a long-range shot. We are indifferent but cruelly watching the flower being blocked and pushed away, and watching the "he" being thrown into the garbage truck, but there is nothing we can do. We want to catch up with the garbage truck and go away. But in vain, he knelt down on the ground, and finally covered his face and cried, grief more than death.
The other is a snow scene, with fast camera movements and cheerful characters’ emotions, all of which are expressed in music, with piano and violin as the main chamber music, grand and joyful, mixed with free will to survive in this world uninhibited. This scene is an important intermediate link between the previous and the next. After that, Yu and Xue officially face the direction of life. Yu used to have difficulty in making self-awareness, but after this, he was not afraid to capture the kingfisher, but fell into the water and died. The moment he was separated from his mother's protection, he chose the wolves who were lonely but Wu Howling Mountains. And Xue, after all, is willing to become a human being, after all, she is lively, active, good at sociability, and also wants to be sociable. To be precise, I have been emphasizing that I look forward to the humanistic care and even the "ultimate care" that every film should have, but every time I fail to look forward to it, it is the explosion of the main theme: whether it is a Chinese theme or an American theme. In fact, for the nine people, there is indeed a lack of sufficient humanistic care plots, and even more of their own creations are only thinking about the logical narrative structure, the ultimate philosophical proposition, and the root cause of social problems-although it is very high-level, but Maybe everything I'm proud of is just a rootless duckweed that lacks feelings at a deep level.
"Son of the Wolf Rain and Snow" is based on a certain kind of surrealism, using the brushstrokes of poetry to outline the role of "mother", based on love and kinship, but far beyond them, and therefore the natural greatness ——It has indeed given me enough impact: or it can be regarded as a kind of warmth and "the way of heaven, which is detrimental to make up for what is lacking" by humanistic care for the cold-hearted, but in the end, I also suddenly woke up and gained even The feeling and guilt that I never had when I went back to "Mom Loves Me Again", for my mother.
