I have heard the name of this drama for a long time, so I watched it with the strong expectation of Grandpa Miyazaki as always~
It is worth affirming that the music that pops up occasionally, the color of the picture and the details of the scenery, character movements and special effects, the dubbing, etc. are very good~ But (yes, I just have a lot of "buts" to say!)
Four words! What a waste! These four words really echoed in my heart. The film of Hayao Miyazaki's grandfather has the feeling that it is extremely soulful, the beauty of human nature, and the minimalist epitome of human nature outlined by powerful pictures, sounds, plots and details. It is the kind of powerful foundation that sees the ugly but presents these things with a sudden mentality, and pays more attention to the beauty of the world. I got goosebumps when I typed these words, because when I recalled watching the works of Hayao Miyazaki before, I was naturally and extremely pleasantly touched by each and every one of them.
In this film, I think many of the dialogues are too superfluous. It doesn't have the sense of soul that every sentence of the previous Gong's works is just right. Instead, it makes me feel very collapsed and difficult to watch. The plot characters are not clearly explained and are very boring. The soundtrack really comes out occasionally. When the ending song of this movie came out, I almost forgot that there was a dubbing for this movie. The picture has also lost the fluent and natural level of Gong's works before, and so on.
It is true that if you let go of the strong expectations before, this film is also OK (but I am so sharp in words), and I am also moved in a few places, but the embarrassment that the whole film often shows, do you feel it? I see A film review mentioned "Big Fish and Begonia", saying that it is as bad as "Big Fish and Begonia"? In my heart, "Big Fish and Begonia" is a work of good faith as a Chinese style and deeply moved me several times. ~
Alright~ This is the end of today's chatter. Anyone who agrees with me or likes me will wait for you with a private message~
