Tracing Western Legends to the End

One Break
-Hogfather, who is the subject of the film, is not the protagonist of the film.
Santa’s car is not driven by reindeer but by wild boar.
Santa Claus is a fat old man, but has fangs, because he is also a big wild boar.
Grim Reaper's appearance is still classic and terrifying, but he is not only kind, wise, witty and humorous, but he has had love and the crystallization of love.
Two Links
-The characters and stories described in the film that have never been recorded, but many of the details are connected with the legends we know. For example, the "Bogot" monster in Harry Potter.
Three teasers
-go and see the Oxford University described in the film. It is an old castle where a bunch of senior men are in charge of a young man.
The wooden computer in the film has a logo similar to "Inter Inside". Take a closer look, it is "Ants Inside".
There are also famous sculpture heads that have been tampered with details and so on, see how many you can find!
Four exquisiteness
-production, makeup and special effects are all eye-catching.
The language is in place and there is room for prediction. If you understand enough British history, you will have a deeper experience. Unfortunately, no Chinese subtitles have been released yet. Otherwise, you can be more dedicated.
It is also very good at serving children. Horrible plots are frequent but not bloody.
Five beliefs
-this is the theme that the film really wants to express.

Hogfather quotes

  • Susan: Grandad?

    Death: Yes?

    Susan: Why? I mean, why did you do all this?

    Death: Human beings make life so interesting. Do you know that in a universe so full of wonders, they have managed to invent boredom? Life is such.

  • Susan: Now... tell me...

    Death: What would have happened if you hadn't saved him?

    Susan: Yes.

    Death: The sun would not have risen.

    Susan: Then what would have happened?

    Death: A mere ball of flaming gas would have illuminated the world.

    Susan: All right, I'm not stupid. You're saying that humans need fantasies to make life bearable.

    Death: No. Humans need fantasy to be human. To be the place where the falling angel meets the rising ape.

    Susan: With tooth fairies? Hogfathers?

    Death: Yes. As practice, you have to start out learning to believe the little lies.

    Susan: So we can believe the big ones?

    Death: Yes. Justice, mercy, duty. That sort of thing.

    Susan: They're not the same at all!

    Death: You think so? Then take the universe and grind it down to the finest powder and sieve it through the finest sieve and THEN show me one atom of justice, one molecule of mercy. And yet... you try to act as if there is some ideal order in the world. As if there is some... some rightness in the universe by which it may be judged.

    Susan: But people have got to believe that, or what's the point?

    Death: You need to believe in things that aren't true. How else can they become?

    [they both watch the sun rise]
