I like this studio very much, so I came to watch this film. Because the era is relatively long, I didn’t have much expectations. However, although there are few surprises, there are still some. I thought it was a book about the Book of Kells. The story of the inner story, it was later discovered that this was actually telling a story about drawing the Book of Kells.
To put it simply, it is the process of writing the scriptures into a book. Fantasy and mysterious elements are added in the middle, and the style of painting is very delicate. It is a kind of chaotic delicacy. It matches the style of the book itself.
From the point of view of a little monk named Brandon, the film tells the story of his adventures in order to help the painter Edan to complete the scriptures, escape from the closed town, encounter magical and eccentric elves, and later With the help of the author, he successfully opened the door to the dark world, obtained the necessary spar to draw the scriptures, and finally completed the drawing......
The plot of the story is very simple, and even some places could have been more detailed, but it has been omitted, such as how the friendship between Brandon and the forest elf was established, how he was attracted by the scriptures and willing to lend a hand, and how to get it from the dark world. The spar, etc., the movie seems to focus on the performance of an epic drawing of scriptures, but the logic of the story and the process of details are not very powerfully portrayed.
However, the film still has obvious advantages, that is, the art design. Perhaps as an ordinary audience, it is difficult for you to describe the connotation of this kind of beauty, but just like Brandon is attracted when he sees the scriptures, we just It is to follow the guidance of nature, and at the same time to witness the gift he gives to the senses of the world, and even sometimes, the movie is turning into a comic strip. There are three mirrors and three scenes in one picture, and the movie becomes a picture book. , the story of drawing the Book of Kells became the Book of Kells itself, which is wonderful!
At least after watching the film, I can't wait to learn about the Book of Kells. All in all, three stars, but the promotional video is really good, plus one star.
