It was recommended by a friend a long time ago, and I didn't remember to watch it until I was short of food today. At present, I still need to be a VIP at station B to watch the full work.
A friend recommended that it was a new Ghibli work, and Hayao Miyazaki participated. I was full of expectations. Maybe it was because the expectations were set too high. After reading it, I was a little disappointed.
It can only be said that it is an ordinary movie. It is not as good as the previous Ghibli movies. It is not at the level of the master of Hayao Miyazaki, and the level of director Mirin Hongchang is not in place.
Because it is an old man who has worked in Studio Ghibli for more than 20 years, there are too many elements of Ghibli in "Mary and the Witch's Flower".
A black cat, a broom, a girl with a lot of hair, this is Mary, not Kiki who delivers the courier, although the scene where Mary rides the broom is simply the witch Kiki.
The various decorations on the campus of Endor are not only like the collection of the Wasteland Witch in Howl's Moving Castle, but also the collection of Mad Dad in "Ponyo on the Cliff". There is also the flying fish sent by the principal to chase after Mary, which is exactly the same as the goldfish Ji Li, only the difference between swimming in the water and flying in the sky.
The robot with a hole in its stomach to help the professor and help him carry the sedan chair is like the last surviving robot in "City in the Sky" when it is normal, and when it is soft, it is like the strange thing in Howl's Moving Castle that carries the sedan chair for the Wasteland Witch.
The movie also starred in the "Harry Potter" next door, the best magic school in the wizarding world, high hats and robes to learn magic, and play on a broom to learn to transform. This is really not Harry's Hogwarts, but Mary's inexplicable way University of Endor. However, Mary's adaptation is a British novel, and it is understandable to hit the stalk.
Although it collided with other films, Mary's picture has to be said to be very delicate, and the effect of more than 94,000 original paintings is really good.
But the most important thing in a movie is the plot!
What is Mary and the Witch's Flower about? It's a story about a bear boy who almost turned a good boy into a monster.
A bored little girl who moved to the country found a flower "flying at night" that could temporarily hold magic power, and was taken to a magical school by a magic broom.
Here, her curly red hair, which is mocked and disliked by ordinary children, is a symbol of her powerful magical ability; the blue-eyed black cat who follows her by chance and is regarded as ominous by ordinary people is the proof of her genius; the flowers that are accidentally crushed, Let her instantly learn the top stealth magic, the name of a genius that has not been encountered in a hundred years.
For the first time in her life, little Mary, who was always clumsily smashing cups, breaking flowers, knocking over trash baskets, and being ridiculed for her looks, was like a balloon being inflated.
He clearly knew that his magical ability was spent, but in order to be envied by others, he even lied that he only used 40% of his ability after learning invisibility.
I went to the principal's office to sign the admission application for special students, and accidentally took the principal's collection of books.
He was forced to ask if he was hiding something. In order to cover up his mistake, he replaced his friend with a note with the address of his friend and betrayed his friend.
The heroine with such a bearish character, I don't know if Miyazaki really likes it. Anyway, the audience basically doesn't like it, and the barrage at station B will be crazy.
After returning home with the admission application and the book that he "accidentally" took away, he also learned to speak the principal's words triumphantly, saying that he would not go back.
This kind of behavior is very bad, and children can't learn it.
But because Mary knew where there were night flying flowers, the principal kidnapped Peter, who was betrayed by Mary, and asked her to exchange her night flying flowers for Peter.
Silly Mary, as expected, was robbed of flowers and locked up as soon as she went to Endor School, and was about to become the principal and professor's experiment with Peter.
It turned out that the principal and professor of the magic school discovered the huge magic power of flying flowers at night, so they used the magic power of flowers to conduct human experiments, hoping to transform the students of the school into magicians who can master all magic.
In fact, if this human experiment is successful, the principal and the professor will be the great heroes of the magic world. The purpose of the experiment is not for themselves but for the students, but the experiment fails, and the principal and the professor in the movie become clowns The same villain.
In order to forcibly elevate the protagonist's behavior and thoughts, the director came here to give the two bear children a lofty goal of "going home together", using the magic of flowers to release the magic of other animals who had failed human experiments, and rescued a zoo.
Unfortunately, during the escape, Peter was captured again, and Mary went back to rescue him. In the end, with the help of the rescued animals, he not only saved his friends but also destroyed the laboratory of the principal and the professor. Finally, with the help of the broomkeeper, he really went home together, happy ending.
If you can't write it anymore, let's stop here. "Mary and the Witch's Flower" is really not good-looking. It is recommended to revisit the film of Mr. Hayao Miyazaki.
