"Legend of the Earth Sea"

decided to buy this animation just because I heard the name Miyazaki Goro. The reason is very simple, because Wulang is the son of Hayao Miyazaki. For me, who likes to put the middle way, the work of the first supervision must be a laborious work, and it turns out that it is very good to have such a performance.

First, Wu Lang did not choose a completely different style from his father. He continued the old gentleman's consistent humanistic feelings and took a safe route. Even if the production is not very good, at least he will not encounter denials, because denying him is equivalent to denying us. Respected Master.

There are many familiar faces in the film. For example, Jed, the righteous wizard, is very similar to the calm Iyu in "The Valley of the Wind", and the minions of the spider demon are simply Xia Jina in "The Valley of the Wind". The appearance of the adjutant with a beard makes one can't help but want to laugh; Alan is also very similar to every previous Gong Shi male lead, and Trou, who has a scalding face on his face, is also seen from time to time by Nawu Sijia, The shadow of Princess Mononoke Xiao Sang, perhaps on the other hand, this proves Wulang's low-key and humble, and played a very good card of family affection.

Second, although it is to follow his father's line, Wu Lang is a newcomer after all, and there must be new elements. Although there is nothing particularly remarkable in the ideological essence, there is an obvious avant-garde expression in the consciousness of magic art, especially at the end of the spider demon that will decay and fall into destruction, the distorted face is full of The look of Munch's "The Scream" is terrifying to the bone. On the other hand, it is worth affirming that musically, the original soundtrack of "The Battle Between the Earth and the Sea" can be said to be better than the blue. In the original sound area configured in the D9 version, every song is fascinating, ethereal and deep. I didn't expect to avoid the combination of music masters like Joe Hisaishi, and Wulang still matched such beautiful music, which added a lot to this film.

I believe that many palace fans are already paying attention to this film. As far as the content is concerned, I really don’t want to express more opinions. There are too many creative intentions that I still need to relive and refine. Experts" come up with the meaning of comparing with the actual hidden dangers. In my opinion, they are rather overly complex and overly deliberate.

After reading "The Battle Between Earth and Sea", I suddenly want to watch "Red Pig" again. If I can, when I'm in a bad or good mood, I'd prefer to choose the latter to ponder and scrutinize it.

    I have a vague memory of this movie, is this a story after the Earthsea trilogy?

    The plot is not compact, the explanation is unclear, and the character modeling is too rough compared to other Ghibli animations.

Tales from Earthsea quotes

  • Haitaka: Listen to me, Aaren: everything you see under the sun and stars owes its very existence to the balance: the wind and seas, the powers of earth and light, all these do is well and rightly done within the equilibrium. But now, men hold the power to control the world. Men must learn to do what leaf and whale and wind do naturally. It is for us to keep the balance. Everything that exists has its true name. The power of magic is nothing more than the power to command based on the knowledge of a thing's true name. But use that power irresponsibly, and the balance of the world is easily damaged. Spells should be made only when absolutely needed.

  • Tenar: Leave her alone! She's done nothing to you!
