Full of childlike interest, there is no lack of subtle insights into human nature and reflections on war. Not to be called a little devil, a ten-year-old boy grew up surrounded by innocence, violence, love, and brainwashing. It should be regarded as a black fairy tale for adults. The setting of self-answering and self-talk makes me feel friendly, which is the only way for lonely people to awaken their self-awareness. Using the height of the child to create a picture that cannot be framed, giving a clue about the shoes is very clever. The part of Scarlett pulling the boy to dance at home is a bit embarrassing, but if it is understood as an animated movie, it makes sense to express inner reconciliation and joy with a tense dance. The most surprising thing is the boy's friend. Whenever he appears, the boy is always surprised and relaxed, making people feel happy for him. The image of all characters, including boys, is not a perfect good person, but they have a kind part in their hearts. I was most afraid that the boy's mind would change in the last clip and edited it with that old-fashioned beautiful clip. Fortunately, the director chose that picture book.
The pair of rabbits in the cage and the boy with the key are a good metaphor for the kind boy who locks himself with his own hands, and can only open it by himself. It's still exaggerated and illogical in places, but the language of the shots is just too satisfying.
