Lang rode a bamboo horse and went around the bed to get green plums.

Should the love between two 5-year-olds be committed? Chinese people have always been pessimistic about this issue. The beauty of "Lang Riding a Bamboo Horse and Going Around the Bed to Get Green Plums" in "Long Gan Xing" is only "feeling sad for this concubine, and sitting in sorrow for an old man". The Japanese, on the other hand, must make good promises for a lifetime - even a 5-year-old promise. In fact, such stories have long existed in China, and "The Legend of the White Snake" is a typical representative, but the Chinese are too kind and moral, so Xu Xian picked up the white snake and released it immediately, strangling his love in his infancy.

Hayao Miyazaki's little male protagonists are always the image of "little men", Sousuke is no exception, kind, respectful and caring for the elderly at the Sunflower Nursing Home, know how to be strong, and his sensible dialogue with his father's signal light makes people sigh, The best part of the whole film is that Sosuke and Ponyo go to find Risa after the typhoon. Ponyo asks Sosuke if there will be an accident, Sousuke firmly says no, and Risa promised herself. When the two found that Risa was not in the car in the woods, Sousuke's panicked cry was childlike sincerity and pure, but when he wiped away his tears and continued to look for Risa, he was so firm.

Two-dimensional animation, all hand-drawn, made by Hayao Miyazaki, these keywords piled up too much expectation, I downloaded it as soon as it was released, and put it on my computer for a long time, I couldn’t bear to watch it, just like when I was a child, I finally got my favorite candy. , I kept it in my pocket for a long time and was reluctant to eat it, but as long as I think about it, I can feel the sweetness.

Going to a movie with such a mentality, the chances of not being disappointed are too small. Compared with "Spirited Away" and "My Neighbor Totoro", the plot is slightly bland, similar to some settings of "Princess Mononoke", but not as exciting as Princess Mononoke. But having said that, the film of the 5-year-old protagonist and the film of the 15-year-old protagonist must be much simpler and purer.

The theme of environmental protection is not uncommon in Hayao Miyazaki's animations. This old man is about to become a Tang monk in Journey to the West. He keeps telling everyone "don't hurt the flowers and plants", but I am always amazed that he can talk about the theme of environmental protection. So fantastic and ingenious, in comparison, the straightforwardness and roughness of some domestic cartoons seem too clumsy, the gap is obvious and they refuse to admit it, and they always clamor for catching up with Japanese animations.

Even if there are flashes in "Princess Goldfish on the Cliff", it is inevitably dwarfed by Hayao Miyazaki's previous classic animations, after all, the plot is a bit thin. The most shocking soundtrack before, this time is also lackluster. The master is like this, only himself is his own worst enemy. Above, so, I really can't bear to say that this film is a chicken rib.

It can’t be said to be tasteless, and it’s a pity to abandon it, so I recommend it.
