Miyazaki-kun, let's keep grinding

The original novel is a fantasy novel with the same fame as "The Lord of the Rings" and "The Chronicles of Narnia". I haven't read the original novel. I just watched the movie and thought it was really bad. No wonder it was scolded to death by novel fans.
First of all, the plot is fragmented, and many details are not explained clearly enough. For example, why did Yaren want to kill his father? How did he get to Holttown? The two dragons mentioned at the beginning came to the world, but what happened later? Is Seru a dragon? How did you solve the dragon problem at the end? Is it to return to the world of dragons, or live in peace with the world? There are too many omissions...
Second, due to the fragmentation of the plot, the relationship and character of the characters are not complete. Why did Ya Ren believe him so much when he met Sparrowhawk? Whether it's Ya Blade, Seru, or Sparrowhawk and Spider, it always feels very thin.
Maybe it's because I only chose one of the original adaptations. After all, it was the first time that Miyazaki directed, so he chose such a difficult adaptation. I really don't know whether Miyazaki trusts his family too much or is too indulgent. son.
Originally, I only wanted to give 2 stars, but since the picture is still as delicate as ever, I can barely give it 3 stars. Actual level: 2.5 stars.

    Son, how can you plagiarize Lao Tzu's work to the point where you hide your name, Dragon Man. . . Are you trying to say that this is another Spirited Away? Those bad guys are also bad. There are only three teenagers and one soldier in a castle. And what happened to that mtv that suddenly sang. After the hero's temperament changed greatly, he instantly became middle-aged Kiki

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!
