Nothing is more harmful than the loss of dependence. Nothing is more devastating than the loss of a woman in a family. A woman is the bond that connects family members and is the core of the entire family. When you lose this After the core, the story of the whole family began to become sad, and the movie is just such a sad story. The film uses a simple two-dimensional animation to portray a mythical story full of meaning and sadness. Under the imaginative brush, the scene outlined has a hint of cleverness and wit in it, but it also has bold presentation and imagination. When placed horizontally, it not only deconstructs the existence of love and hierarchy behind the sad story, but also sculpts out a dazzling and complicated and chaotic inner world. That kind of post-modern style painting demonstrates the director’s description of the inner world of animation reaction, using a style different from traditional animation to return to tradition in a world full of 3D animation. This kind of inner arrogance but The stories interpreted by a very serious behavior style are full of social arrogance, but also full of respect for warm stories. The director values ​​the most true and moving emotions presented in this chaotic world. What he grasps is that he can best reflect the true inner changes and blindly hurt feelings, use myths and legends to refract the staleness of society, and use facts to change the original impossible hierarchy. Love cannot break through everything. Love It just brings us the courage to break through the boundaries. When reality and trade-offs are before us, it turns out that love is so fragile and painful.
There is no happiness in the movie. From the beginning, the director has established such a core purpose. Everything stems from the occurrence of a tragedy. People who cannot merge together to form a family will definitely leave silently. There is no reason. But the reason is so irresistible. Starting from a good wish, it gradually evolved into an unreasonable resentment, that is the kind of helplessness and loneliness that my mother's leaving brought me, and the disguised anger. For my sister, this kind of delicate emotional change seems unreasonable, but there is always indelible humanity in it. The director deeply grasped this delicate emotional description and guided the story and emotional development step by step. The clues of the children show the love and forgiveness hidden deep in their hearts through the children’s pain and unselectable helplessness. The director's use of painting is based on the imagination of innocent children. On the one hand, it expresses the children's cognition of the whole strange world, but also radiates his own innocent imagination of the world full of fantasy and fear. This adventure in the movie is chaotic. The only thing that is chaotic is to add mythological stories to satisfy the interpretation of adventures, and use myths to explain how two people with different identities and status are concerned about each other and cannot leave each other. In a process, the director uses the feelings between brothers and sisters to reflect the love between men and women of different statuses. I have to say that it adds a lot of hope for innocent feelings, and temporarily abandons the reality in front of him, each facing reality. People are suffering, just like what is described in the movie. After all the pain is stripped out, people will become stone. Yes, human feelings are a complex body of many pains. People except pain There are no other emotions. The director actually wants to reflect the lack of happiness in this society, the difficult hierarchical boundaries and the originally selfish and cold humanity. The overwhelming emotions will only make people more painful, and want to get rid of this. This kind of pain, but people will become like a stone without feelings. Of course, the story is still based on Irish folk myths. It reflects a relationship between brothers and sisters and saves all kinds of elves who are stuck in pain, so that the world can regain its former appearance and truly understand oneself and face reality. The choices that need to be made at the time.
