A story about "teaching and learning"

At first, this film had been lying in the cache of station B and opened it inadvertently, and then I was attracted.
At the beginning of the film, the silhouette effect is simply amazing. Under the background narration, I thought it was a story about the pig king's prestige and the love he received, which made Xiong Che fall to the ground.
However, on the contrary, the protagonist of the story is Xiong Che who seems to be the villain in the background narrative at the beginning.

Mamoru Hosoda tried to describe a lot of things in this story, so that some of the turning points are a little blunt, and the meaning of the supporting actress doesn't seem to be too big, but in my opinion, it is still flawed.
If I had to sum up this story in one word, I think it is a story of [teaching and learning].
He couldn't teach his apprentices his skills well, and he could scold one in half a day, and live a sloppy life. Because this human child who dares to speak and is rebellious, but at the same time has understanding and is willing to endure hardship, has begun to have change.

In the middle of the story, there are many people who don't understand why Lian will quarrel with her biological father after returning to the world, saying that he is stupid, saying that after arguing with her master and arguing with her father again, she is mentally ill.
I see that there are more and more elementary school students recently.
What's so hard to understand?
On the one hand, when he came into contact with the world, he gradually became estranged from his master Xiong Che. The master saw that he was in contact with things he didn't understand at all, and he didn't know what he was thinking. What's so hard to understand?
And the sentence of my biological father [Go to thank and then we two live a good life, forget the pain of the past], erased the eight years of Lian and the master cuddling each other with smiles, sweat, and disputes, so Lian couldn't listen to it anymore. What's so hard to understand? of?

In the last half hour of the film, I saw Lian grow from a boy to a man, and when I saw the choice Xiong Che made, I burst into tears.
Have we also cultivated a powerful monster in our hearts and then used it to fill the void in our hearts? Have we ever tried desperately to pull the person who wants to move forward together, no matter whether the other party is useless or not, whether we are pessimistic and depressed in our hearts, or have countless disputes and misunderstandings, and do not want to give up?

After Lian has this sword in her heart, no matter what she encounters, she will no longer be afraid.
After we have completely defeated anything, after the turning point of fate, after losing balance and regaining balance, even the happiness and warmth of the eternal life are precious treasures that we are willing to guard with all our hearts.

    Ang Lee said at the Shanghai Film Festival Forum, go slowly, don't rush, it's still a long time. There is really no rush. The core values ​​of Chinese animation films are directly related to the development of social civilization. The gap is not technology, and it is difficult to blame individuals.
