simple sincerity

I watched Crazy Zoo before, and then I couldn’t stand the gibberish of Zhihu Daily and watched Son of the Monster again. Now the animation production is so good that it’s amazing. Then I think of the TV version of fate stay night I saw before, and I’m very impressed with CG technology. The development is simply admirable. I can't help but wonder, if animation and computer technology are combined well enough, do we still need such unstable existences as human actors? If characters can be completed through technology, does storytelling enter another realm?
The animation plot is not particularly innovative. Compared with Hosoda's previous work "The Girl Who Traveled Through Time and Space", the idea is not new. The story narrative is basically based on front-to-back comparison, positive and negative comparison, and continuous foreshadowing (marked in the mind map is particularly obvious. two points: the whale – mirroring yourself, the sword in your heart – filling the gap), after watching it three times, I can only say that the plot of this drama is quite satisfactory, focusing on the touching father-son friendship, when I saw Xiong Che incarnate as a sword god and blend in In Jiutai's heart, talking and bickering with Jiutai was really tearful.
Tell me about what I saw:
1. Growth line: Grandpa Rabbit reminded that Xiong Che became faster and stronger. It was Jiutai who taught Xiong Che more
. 2. Erlang Maru's child line, the three views are very correct : Respect the strong, never pretend to be good to maintain superficial relations, must rely on strength to win dignity.
3. Human nature is gloomy, and those who have black holes will still be revealed. Knowing mistakes can be corrected, or they can be rescued as best they can, and they are still the sons of monsters.
4. In the appearance of Ichirohiko and Erlangmaru, Ichirohiko does not have fangs, but he has pig teeth on his hat. He is very serious about maintaining his father's face. His younger brother has no headdress, and his behavior is obviously childish and naughty. As a result, when he develops into an adult, he becomes a little white face with more and more obvious dark side, a distorted inner face, and a foolish man with simple single-line thinking.
