Non-linear story, full of magic picture, touching heart

After watching Song of the Sea in one go, as a fan of the Book of Kells, I would say it even surpassed the previous one. This animation fills the heart with sadness and joy, as if the bottle that closes one's emotions is also broken.

This time the story is told very well. The suspense at the beginning makes people unable to stop. Several possibilities are preset in the mind, and new story elements are added all the time. The story of the human world and the story of the elf world are interspersed with each other. Pushing each other forward, people are unconsciously addicted. . .

The scene of the giant Mac Lir crying and becoming the ocean is touching. Although it was the first time I saw it, I once dreamed of crying into the sea. . .

Therefore, the difference between this animation and BH6 is one point in the style of painting, and another point in the story. Myths and stories sometimes have no logic, and love doesn’t know where they come from. As they go deeper, the living can die, and the dead can live. , unreasonably cute. Unlike our 3D animations, not only the picture but also the storyline is full of logic, something full of logic is reassuring but less obsessive.

In the witch's house, she suddenly realized that her witchcraft was not to kill people, but to help people get rid of pain; in real life, many people unconsciously use numbness to get rid of pain, not to mention Alcoholism and Stockholm Syndrome, and even the human brain automatically forgets some painful memories. . . However, when you block a part of your memory and forget the pain, you also forget the joy, numbness, just like petrification.

Writing here, I suddenly remembered that this truth was also told inside out. Emotions are the reason why we are so alive, we only live once, why don't we wake up from years of slumber as my father said, live more bravely, face it, and thus be more real and rich, live the gray life. The character corresponding to

my father is a giant, so I kept guessing that the tragedy in the story of the giant lost his lover.

I have often guessed the truth behind the story, such as the fantasy drifting of the youth pie, the Totoro, etc., there may be a cruel reality. Then this time, I wanted to believe like a child in the beautiful story itself, and the teachings of the owl.

The whole animation is very stunning, especially the giant disappearing in the morning light, and the long hair of the elf coiling in the cave. Ireland is already in my travel destination~
