"Short Peace" is a collection of 4 short stories led by Katsuyo Otomo, each story is about 1,20 minutes. When watching the trailer, I thought that in addition to "Farewell to the Weapon" just by listening to the name and knowing that it was katsuyo Otomo's work, the fresh and elegant gentle and timeless painting style of "Fire Town" would not be related to him. However, the script and the executive producer are all him.
The story is smooth and smooth. As in the open picture scroll of Gongbi Pastel, Kowaka and Matsuyoshi are neighbors. Lang rode a bamboo horse, and the concubines first covered their foreheads. White walls, black tiles, dwarf trees, green grass and red flowers. The scene is light and three-dimensional, and the child's whisper can imagine a happy face. When she grows up, Matsuyoshi becomes a rebellious teenager, and Xiao Ruo plays the piano and watches the flowers in her room every day - her parents have promised her to another family.
The whole picture is painted on a tapestry scroll, and the two tapestry background colors that are slightly exposed above and below the picture change with the plot. From the initial two small unsuspecting smart and elegant, to the later thick deep ink dark flowers that could not be opened.
In the story, Xiao Ruo, who always wears a pale floral kimono and behaves elegantly, the lines depict the beautiful Xiao Ruo, whose eyebrows are delicate and flexible, which makes people feel that Xiao Ruo, who is afraid of being in his mouth, is like a flower embroidered on the brocade, a bird, and there is no way to escape.
Small if not intentional. She inadvertently threw the paper fan away in the room, just in time to throw it on the lantern that was burning with an open flame. After hesitating for a moment, Xiao Ruo stopped going out to call people, and instead picked up the newly sewn wedding dress, closed the door and went out.
Didn't expect the fire to burn as big. Not only Xiao Ruo's own home, but her neighbors, including Song Ji's home, and the many people in the town connected together, instantly burned into one piece. Matsuyoshi rushes to put out the fire and finds Xiao Ruo standing in the middle of the fire on the roof in a wedding dress.
Instead of following Matsuyoshi's words and going down to a safer place, Kojo climbed up the wooden tower. First, the pieces of Xiao Ruo's wedding dress were scattered, and then Xiao Ruo herself collapsed along with the tower--I don't know if songkichi heard it when she finally called him by name.
I don't know if it is because the picture is too beautiful, but the people watching it do not fluctuate too much. It is like a piece of incense, a puff of smoke, the wind blows, disperses, does not form, and falls into people's eyes. But I thought about it.
