wave of civilization

Civilizations arise and develop, and civilizations are destroyed. Civilization is covered by darkness, and civilization will eventually ignite the darkness. This, is a magical book, this book, will turn darkness into light.

Civilization still exists, even through ups and downs. Brother Edan told Brandon that the book should not be put away but brought back to the world. Beauty, in the most vulnerable place, grows and grows.

Obviously, the dissemination of scriptures, or the dissemination of civilization, is undoubtedly successful (the Vikings now also believe in Christianity), and civilization may not cause great storms, but it is still surging. Civilization really turns darkness into light.

Back to movies. The film is done with great care, and attentive audiences can find that whether it is the walls, tables and chairs, or the light and shadow reflected by the crystal, there is an Irish flavor. At the end, the dean opened the scriptures, and the music played, sweeping away the melancholy and sad atmosphere, pushing the plot to a climax, which attracted reverie.

Outside the window is still the ruins, but the sun has already risen. The grasslands and forests are still green, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and there is a peaceful and happy scene. Civilizations have risen and fallen, destruction has been reborn again, but it is still there and will always be there.

    Tom Moore's debut, hand-drawn animation is always respectable, almost every frame is beautiful, with just the right music, it is indeed a pure work of art. The lines of the characters are clean and simple, the background is complex and gorgeous, and the connotation has the potential for multiple interpretations, but overall it is not as agile, magnificent and complete as [Song of the Sea]. The narrative is separated from the front and back. The fresh and dreamy children's growth story is connected with the brutal reality of massacre and escape. The second half (invasion, escape, growth, inheritance, return home) only accounts for 1/4 of the length, and the rhythm is too fast. The inner pages of the Book of Kells, which Edan and Brandon uphold, have never been revealed, sublimating it into a metaphor for universal knowledge and spiritual wealth. Several beautiful scenes: dense and intricate scaffolding in the background; simple chalk sketches; Ashiline sitting on the window edge of the tower and humming a ballad (ancient Irish poem "Pangur Bán"), letting the cat's soul steal it Out the key; the biting snake lost its crystal eye and devoured itself frantically; after the Vikings attacked, the black, red and white color matching, snowflakes and flaming ruins in the sky; the growth process was condensed with a triptych of spring, summer and autumn. (9.0/10)

    Almost pure beauty, but don't like missionary stories
