"Heisei Tanaka War", he has been recommending me to watch this film for a long time, but I didn't have the mood to watch the animation after I opened it twice.
Yesterday I really had nothing to watch, so I opened it again.
It was wonderful.

I really like the oil painting-style background inside.
The most impressive thing is the sunset, the shadows of the trees, and
the pale red sunset on the horizon, so beautiful and so beautiful.

The author is very attentive, and the portrayals of several protagonists' characters are all lifelike, and
these civet cats are not as good as people.
I said that I have no strength today on the street. He said, would you like to get a little gecko for you?
Those civet cats in the play who have turned into humanoids, because they are too exhausted to maintain their original shape, they will drink potions or Eat baby geckos.

Many themes of Japanese animation are environmental protection, such as the yearning for rural life in Hayao Miyazaki's "Little Bits in Memories", as well as a large number of environmental explanations and detailed descriptions in the film, such as green trees, green swaying Small grass, crystal clear lake water...
But in fact, Japan's forest coverage rate ranks first in the world, reaching 66%. By the end of 2000, China's forest area was only 1.58 billion hectares, and the forest coverage rate was only 16.55%, which is only equivalent to Compared with 61.3% of the world's forest coverage rate, the per capita forest area of ​​the country is 0.128 hectares, which is only equivalent to 21.3% of the world's per capita 0.6 hectares. We should indeed learn from Japan in our understanding of environmental issues. Japan is prepared for danger in times of safety, and we turn a blind eye.

At the same time, the play also expresses concern about the pressure that human beings are currently suffering from. In the end, because of the pressure of life, the civet cat, who had to change into a human form to live in the crowd, also expressed emotion, "When I become a human, I realize that it turns out that people have to bear so much. Stress is really not easy." But the fact that this animal eventually has to be humanized may not be the best law of natural evolution. A little helpless. Perhaps nothing at this stage can prevent human society from continuing to industrialize and destroy the pace of the environment in which it lives. Really, maybe we are just the guests of the earth, we should thank it for providing us with the space to live, and we only want to push ourselves to the fate of destruction step by step.

I still prefer green grass and clear blue earth.

    I watched it on and off while working out. It was a little boring at first, but it got better and better. It was very sad to see the civet cat desperately reverting the homeland developed by humans back to its former landscape! Protect nature!
