I never thought that this year, I would encounter two excellent animation works with highly similar themes and different expressions. One uses colorful 3D images to express complex abstract thinking, with advanced technical concepts, imaginative and imaginative, and the other is a 2D hand-painted with fine brushes. The pictures are finely woven into the animistic world, with deep and dense feelings, poignant and light.
Growth and loss, letting go and redemption, gaining strength from grief, and learning to grow from pain. Facing the death of a loved one, the father thought that immersing himself in grief would numb his nerves, the grandmother thought that if he put away his feelings, he would be able to stay away from the pain, the elder brother thought that hating his sister would bring back his mother's love, and the younger sister thought that autistic confinement could find happiness. However, all things have animism, and the spirit is the emotion. Even if there is pain, sorrow and anger, it is far better than the stone that is condensed into a statue without emotion. When the younger sister finally opens her mouth and sings the elf elegy, and when the elder brother throws into the sea with the words "I can do it", a period of salvation and redemption reflects, contrasts and intertexts the multiple worlds of elves and people, spirit and body. I always thought that I had already been "bought" by Pixar's animation. Even in the face of Master Gong's work, I was unmoved, but in the short 5 minutes of the opening, I fell into the poignant and ethereal song of the sound of nature: clear, cool, warm, sad Also cured. The Chinese dubbing has finally been done in every detail without being overwhelming. I am very grateful for the dubbing for leaving the original sound of this elf song. With every frame of image that combines fine brushwork, ink painting, oil paint, and Ukiyo painting styles, it has become a "beautiful" two. The best annotations for words.
With the "heart" and "soul" to tell a good story, whether it is a Pixar rendering of hundreds of machines with a trace of hair, an Aardman posing for a week of action, or an animation of Ireland that has sharpened its sword in ten years. Paintings, everything on the outside, whether it is avant-garde or traditional, bright or cold, are beautiful!
