This is just the good intentions of two stunned green bear children to do bad things, why are you so mean?

I still went to the theater to watch "Big Fish and Begonia", and I felt... It's not as bad as the legend, but it's not particularly good either. The mythical background is interesting, and it's the mythical background that I like. The picture is very Ghibli, but it is really beautiful, and many scenes are magnificent and touching. But the last two unfinished nude scenes were really embarrassing. I had to give some clothes, or the water was higher or the camera was zoomed in to cover it up, and I had to play Adam and Eve and hesitantly. Are you not contradicting yourself?
This script does make people feel that it is not polished enough. It is not logical to say that there is a story line, but the details are not good enough. Some supporting characters may not be important to the screenwriter, but the audience will look forward to it. For example, the rat woman, a character with a sense of existence beyond the protagonist, saw her tear off her coat on the boat heading for the world, revealing a tube top and a slender waist, and her face became younger. To be honest, I feel really sexy, I want to know Her later story, in fact, I believe she can live happily in this world.
Well... the movie is the movie itself, I don't care what the team has, or the feelings of your team. As an audience, I just want the movie to be good, and I don't care about the rest. If you make a movie, then it’s good to sell the movie. Selling the feelings of a miserable sale will not make the audience more tolerant towards it, and excessive publicity will only make people more disgusted. It's not that you can't sell it, but please don't overdo it.
As for the character design, I think the protagonist himself is still a child. It is understandable that he is naive, "made", one-sided, and reckless in doing things regardless of the consequences. Like Chun and Qiu, they are just two silly children who think they are adults and always want to do something. They believe that if you are full of water, you can live or die. They want to save the people they love, and by the way, they want to save the world. , but lack of thoughtfulness, lack of ability, good intentions to do bad things, all kinds of slapsticks. But when we were sixteen or seventeen, we were not mature enough to do things, so this story can still be established in the world of immature people. It's just that I don't particularly understand why Chun's grandparents unconditionally support Chun's act of taking the risk of the world without considering the consequences. Is it just out of love? Inspired by Tsubaki's motives? The beginning is a coming-of-age ceremony. It should be a story about growing up. It is not only for the protagonist to observe his own workshop to know how it works, but also to let the protagonist really begin to become a mature person. I think the real "growth" "The theme is to let the protagonist finally learn to be responsible for his own behavior. However, this film has taken this over, and I can't say no, but it is too shallow, and I feel that the protagonist has not grown up in the end.
Finally, I was thinking, if there were no such vicious labelling words as "spare tire", "Notre Dame's disease", "Mary Sue", "white lotus" and "green tea bitch", would people be more objective when watching this film?

Big Fish & Begonia quotes

  • Lingpo: What brings you to the Island of Souls?

    Chun: There's a soul I'm looking for: the soul of a human boy

    Lingpo: What time was it he died?

    Chun: It was two days before the wheat harvest.

    Lingpo: You need to be sure of the date. Otherwise you're searching for a needle in a haystack. So many die every day.

    Chun: I'm sure. It was my birthday.

    Lingpo: I know what you're trying to do, girl, and it goes against the laws of nature!

    Chun: I don't care. I've got to save him!

    Lingpo: The punishment is harsh for those who defy nature, no matter who you are, so you *should* care.

    Chun: But I owe him, for saving my life.

    Lingpo: How very touching. I've been stuck here for 800 years, and I'm still not done paying penance for my sin!

    Chun: But you didn't...!

    Lingpo: Don't interrupt! Let me tell you what real tragedy is. Meeting someone you care about so much you forget yourself and make a mistake. So then you go back and try to fix it and make things right again, and then you learn that fixing it's impossible.

    [chuckles]

    Lingpo: We can never undo the wrongs we've done. This I know.

    Chun: You're saying you won't help me?

    Lingpo: I'm saying I pity you. Besides, resurrecting someone from the dead doesn't come cheap.

    Chun: What would it cost?

    Lingpo: No less than a lovely girl's loveliest features: your eyes.

    Chun: [winces]

    Lingpo: [laughing] Now she's scared.

    [chuckles]

    Lingpo: Don't want to give up your pretty eyes, eh? All right, I'll take half your life instead.

    Chun: If that'll save him, take it.
