<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > introduction</h1>
"The Poem of the Dam Keeper", this animation is as beautiful as the name, turning the animation into a poem. Compared with those animations that reflect reality, this animation can make people feel the innocence and beauty of the animation itself. In the history of the development of animation, the initial animation was made for children to see, until later, more and more people began to accept the beauty of animation itself, so animation gradually became adult and commercialized.
So most of the animations we see now may be more in line with the tastes of adults. But just like the adult world, animation that exists to cater to adults is becoming more and more secular. I'm not against that kind of animation, I just miss the kind of animation that can bring pure beauty to people.
Fortunately, "The Poem of the Dam Keeper" appeared. There's something beautiful about this anime, there's no metaphor in it, there's no good guys and no bad guys, it's a better world than a fairy tale. The animation may seem a little childish, and the style of painting is close to the style of picture books. "The Poem of the Dam Keeper" uses this innocent way to let us see a different world in the commercial society.
< h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > a pig becomes good friends with a fox</h1>
The dam keeper was a pig, and one day, when a pig wanted to water his flowers, a small fish appeared. The little fish also want water, so they try their best to prevent pigs from watering the flowers. But how can a fish possibly win over a pig? Just when the little fish was dying, the little pig still chose to help the little fish. But the piglet was still worried about his little flower in his heart.
Just as the piglet was swinging between the flowers and the fish, the little fish was caught by a kitten, and the piglet lost its own dark clouds in order to save the little fish, that is to say, it could not water its own little flowers, and the flowers dried up and even died. At this time, a small fox appeared, and it helped the piglet to bring the flowers back to life.
The two stood on either side of the flowers, looking at each other.
This is the purest emotion, the pig wants to help the little fish, but also cherish his own flowers. And the little fox also helped the piglet. This style of storytelling, some like "The Little Prince", everything is the purest feeling, the little prince has his own beloved roses, and the piglet also has his own beloved flowers. But they are all the same, in addition to what they love, they also have what they have to bear.
The reason why this animation makes people feel full of healing may be because this animation describes pure emotions! In this anime, I only see compassion and responsibility. Apart from these two, there is nothing else. This is in line with my three views, after all, everyone has their own pity, but when they feel sorry, they must also do not hurt others. The story is too simple and too pure.
Because in real life, it is often the case that some people ignore the lives of others for the sake of what they cherish, and even hurt others. The reality is complex, often mixed with interests and considerations. So some stories will add real things, and they will also add a lot of unpleasant things. For example, the plot where some people are hurt, and there are some characters with three views that are not correct.
Even if I know that in real life, there will be some people who have three views and like to hurt others, but sometimes, when there is a lot less feelings about reality, I just want to stay alone in my own world, quietly perceive the original rhythm of life, and emptiness.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > add some sweetness to life</h1>
The sweetness here does not refer to the sweetness we feel on our tongues, but the feeling in our hearts, which is also a kind of enjoyment. Living in this society, I believe that everyone can have some understanding of some of the dark side of society. And those darknesses often bring us some negative feedback. But as the negative feedback increases, humanity itself becomes more and more desperate for the world. This kind of emotion is not a good development for a person.
We need more positive emotions. Being with family is one way, going to see something entertaining is another. The reason why funny genre works are popular is also because people like stories that simply make fun of themselves and make them feel happy.
However, the quality of today's comedy works is getting worse and worse, which is not to say that there are fewer and fewer talents in comedy, but that people are being laughed at more and more times, and they have gradually become immune to certain levels of comedy, and people's appreciation level has improved. Therefore, many works no longer have the power to heal people's hearts, nor do they have the ability to move people and make people like them from the heart.
In fact, after living for a long time and watching for a long time, you can find that the comedy that has no connotation, but simply makes fun of others, it can indeed make fun of you for a short time. But what's left after the laughter? This can also be extended to many other types of works.
If a work is always superficial, leaving only entertainment, and less of a discussion of the human self, then what is the meaning of those works other than to consume people's time?
Add some sweetness to life and give yourself a little more enjoyment. This is to make ourselves feel the pleasure of the spirit, and this pleasure is definitely not something purely entertaining. Behind the pure entertainment is still empty and dazed. I believe that this is the source of the vast majority of people's worries about today's film and television industry, and they still feel dazed and anxious about themselves.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > animation is the most innocent dream</h1>
As I said at the beginning, animation was created for children in the early days. But who says that adults can't read things for children? Adults are also children in the beginning, and they will not become completely different from children because they grow up all of a sudden.
Adults also want to see simple things. But some of today's children's animations can't satisfy the simple desire of adults. Because today's children's animation is either a simple preaching, just want to instill knowledge for children, less discussion of human nature, and a deep understanding of social relations. Those intellectual adults understand that not every animation that tells a simple truth is an innocent animation.
Such a fine product as "The Little Prince" is always in the minority. I believe this is why the classics exist.
"The Dam Keeper's Poem" really tells us an animated poem, it is a beautiful poem, there are no childish words, only childish behaviors, and those behaviors, in themselves, are also what all of us will do.
