That gleam finally disappeared...

That important box passed through the hands of the mayors from generation to generation and then was suddenly forgotten in the clutter
at a sudden moment ... The opening of the movie has such a fading feel to it that I misunderstood it at some point. Thought it was a sci-fi movie let alone when I saw the boys and girls start to officially carry out their work, I could n't help but excitedly advertised to my friends that I saw Otomo's style in this movie wearing a helmet. The boy walks through the heart of the huge engine The girl in red walks through the city without the current industry, replacing all communications. It seems that I saw the world depicted by <> and <>. The film begins Those little details make me feel beautiful The gigantic moths fly upwards over the city The big bell sings something brighter than the city's dim lights The little girl on the sofa is learning to weave The wool is gone at dusk The houses are full of people walking leisurely through the 17th century town, but what is behind the door of the lightning sign ? The search process is very exciting. However, after the two children got the keys, the idea of ​​escaping the underground city passage in a rough manner completely ignored the ending of the previous film . It's a flaw that can't be ignored. It's a pity that the effect created by the previous clips is a pity. Those beautiful pictures and tones in the film are a pity.

























The scene of the rising sun at the end made the film seem so mediocre at the end.
From excitement to disappointment, it only took 90 minutes.

Maybe because of so many problems that cannot be explained to the audience,
this film is classified under fantasy
only for the beginning. It seems that I have high expectations, and naturally I have a lot of disappointment
. The light of the city will soon be extinguished, as if the brilliance of the movie at the beginning has also disappeared...

    This plot is so SB, there is absolutely no cause and effect, so that the ending that should be very moving and shocking seems very pale. Mechanical settings and graphics are not bad.

    It's okay to sell the settings~ The kids are very cute

City of Ember quotes

  • Loris Harrow: [narrating] Lina and Doon tied their hope to a rock and tossed it down toward the city. The rock could've ended up on a roof. Or kicked into a gutter. But fate ran another course. And the message found its way. Now the path was clear for all. All of us who kept the flame of Ember burning, through the darkness, so that we could live again on the earth, in the air and the light.

  • Loris Harrow: [to Doon] Builders were wise when they said, "If you have proof, you have to pursue it!" There's more to a bottle cap than keeping liquid from leaking out of glass!
