Spit out an unclear groove

When I saw the picture of the poster, the film was almost over, and I realized that the original poster had almost nothing to do with the film. Oh yes, the title of the film "Legend of Earthsea" doesn't have much to do with it either.
After the magicians in the Earthsea world forgot the real names of things overnight and lost their magic, there are still two magicians in this world who can use magic. Why is this?
The world is in chaos, and the prince is also in chaos. Why did he assassinate his father to seize the sword?
Since the prince has fear, why is he not afraid of death?
Does the shadow of the prince come from the heart? Does summoning a shadow with a body count as magic? Who is casting this magic?
After the prince and the archmage went to the market to buy a cloak, the prince was dragged to the corner by the drug seller to confuse him with drugs. What was the purpose of inserting this part? By the way, isn't that drug seller the boss of the landwalker in Princess Mononoke? Oh yes, isn't that the leader of the human trafficker gang, Jiu Tu, the adjutant of Paget in the Valley of the Wind?
And after that, the archmage took the prince to farm, just to tell him the theory of balance that he realized? This theory of balance is not applied at all in the final battle...
Also, isn't the Archmage looking for the cause of the chaos in the world? Why did a spider appear in the middle? The main line became a branch line... The theme changed from the balance of the world to the topic of life and death... Then the archmage told the manipulated prince: child, you refused to die, just If you refuse to live, if you want to die, you just don't want to live. Such a profound truth, in that state, the prince actually... actually... regained his sanity...
Well, the dragon Seru hung on the stake and waited obediently for the archmage for a long time. After a long time, he found that he was impatient, so he calmly put the The stake was pulled up, and the shadow appeared just right at this time. Oh yes, I forgot to ask why the archmage knew that the sword was the key to solving the problem, why didn't he take the sword with him, the prince was the chosen child? Only the prince can draw that sword, so I'll go.
Then Shenlong found the prince like no one, and successfully persuaded the prince to go to the final battlefield, and by the way promised each other for life.
In the end, one person, one dragon and two people worked together to kill the spider that was going to pass through life and death. Well, the problem is that the prince is not surprised that the girl he has cared about for a long time is actually a dragon... Then the picture on the poster appeared.
Then, where does the problem of the disrupted balance go? Why did the Archmage start farming again? The problem is solved?
Why does the film end here...
PS: I haven't read the original book, but after reading some movie reviews, I believe that the original book should be a novel with depth.
PS2: Goro's two works prefer poppy. The theme of Legend of Earthsea is profound, but the quality of the film is not high.

    The explanation of the setting of "Shadow" is unclear, and Cob-Kumo's figurative treatment is really noncommittal... I am very fond of the original saying "reject death, give up living"...

    The name is a spell, my real name is xxx, the sword in the stone, and the classic rotten memes are not good. The meaning of the father-killing prince is bigger than this film. If you have this funding, why don't you make a Hal 2 for me and hold hands with Big Fish and Begonia. Hayao Miyazaki is also getting old. The authorization signed with his own reputation turned around and threw it to his son to practice. The sub-blade is actually Goro Miyazaki.

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!
