No spoilers as a reminder before the official release: bring your own tissues with low tears, and the film has nothing to do with Ghibli

Before watching the film, I was very nervous. I made up a lot of things to say. I plan to advertise it in the WeChat circle after watching it: This is the cartoon I have been following for so many years! It's finally out! After reading the results, I deleted them all, and only wrote one sentence: It's not worth waiting for twelve years, bring your own tissues with low tears.

First of all, I am not only a fan of Hayao Miyazaki, but also a fan of his son Wulang. I have watched all the cartoons of the father and son;
secondly, my tears are very low, so I cried from the beginning to the end, if the film did not impress you , then you blame me for low tears! I'm not responsible;
finally, from the point of view of me, a nerd fan of the palace family, this film really has nothing to do with Ghibli, and those who say plagiarism are gone;

the plot should not be spoiled at the request of the main creator's meeting, but personally Look, I like Qiu's character the most in the whole film. In terms of dubbing, ah, I love Jin Shijie. I feel that the voice of the whole film is the most correct. There are not many lines, you can skip it, ah ah ah, there is also Jiang Guangtao, the queen dubbing of Gujian Xianjian, but unfortunately not the main actor.

There is basically no big noise in the whole movie, the plot is coherent and compact without procrastination, the big love and the little love are accompanied by sacrifices, the small story and the big picture, there is nothing particularly far-fetched.

In fact, when I knew Big Fish and Begonia for the first time, I also said disdainfully when I first saw the trailer: So Ghibli. However, after so many years of chasing, the strange thing is that when you look at it, as more and more materials are exposed, the trailer, poster, and text come out little by little. The more you look, the less Ghibli looks. I When my friends tell me that it looks like a Japanese anime, I will always say that it is because you have not been paying attention to it. If you have been paying attention and watching him grow from nothing to the present, you really I don't think it's just a domestic animation with a Riman hat on. It looks like a Chinese ancient myth.

Big Fish & Begonia quotes

  • Lingpo: What brings you to the Island of Souls?

    Chun: There's a soul I'm looking for: the soul of a human boy

    Lingpo: What time was it he died?

    Chun: It was two days before the wheat harvest.

    Lingpo: You need to be sure of the date. Otherwise you're searching for a needle in a haystack. So many die every day.

    Chun: I'm sure. It was my birthday.

    Lingpo: I know what you're trying to do, girl, and it goes against the laws of nature!

    Chun: I don't care. I've got to save him!

    Lingpo: The punishment is harsh for those who defy nature, no matter who you are, so you *should* care.

    Chun: But I owe him, for saving my life.

    Lingpo: How very touching. I've been stuck here for 800 years, and I'm still not done paying penance for my sin!

    Chun: But you didn't...!

    Lingpo: Don't interrupt! Let me tell you what real tragedy is. Meeting someone you care about so much you forget yourself and make a mistake. So then you go back and try to fix it and make things right again, and then you learn that fixing it's impossible.

    [chuckles]

    Lingpo: We can never undo the wrongs we've done. This I know.

    Chun: You're saying you won't help me?

    Lingpo: I'm saying I pity you. Besides, resurrecting someone from the dead doesn't come cheap.

    Chun: What would it cost?

    Lingpo: No less than a lovely girl's loveliest features: your eyes.

    Chun: [winces]

    Lingpo: [laughing] Now she's scared.

    [chuckles]

    Lingpo: Don't want to give up your pretty eyes, eh? All right, I'll take half your life instead.

    Chun: If that'll save him, take it.
