Wonderful stills
Personal reviews
When the first picture comes to you, you can't help but think of the "Secret of the Book of Kells" and "Song of the Sea", the same complex painting style, the same lineage shows the soul of the creature, the yellow-green tone focuses on nature, and the mysterious and fresh legend story.
The most interesting part of the film is the part where humans become wolfwalkers. Robin secretly went to the forest and was scolded by her father, and after being disappointed, she said that she could understand her if it was her mother, and her heart began to rebel against her father. That night, she evolved into a wolfwalker. The father was caught by the protector of the wolf hunt, and when the protector raised his large knife and slashed at Robin, the father broke free of the chain, and in a hurry, he transformed into a wolf walker and saved Robin. Both Robin and his father, after being forced to be killed, transformed into wolfwalkers, feeling a bit like the various "heroes" in Water Margin, being extremely persecuted, and the primitive instinctive spirit of resistance in the body is awakened. In this way, everyone has a chance to become a wolfwalker.
Maybe young viewers will be angry at their fathers for not listening to Robin's belief in Robin, especially the phrase "I'm all for your own good", and know what is good for their daughters? Robin didn't understand why his father thought that keeping her at home was to protect her. But when she wants to protect Maeve, is it not the same "self-righteous" choice to hide her mother's whereabouts, but also "self-righteous" saying "I am for your own good"? Maeve also didn't understand why her mother didn't let her bite, and it wasn't until Robin became a Wolfwalker that she learned of her mother's intentions that day.
Isn't it normal for people not to understand each other? Everyone has their own position and their own perspective. Unless you become him, or you can think things through from his point of view, there is a possibility of mutual understanding. Of course, you can't do that all the time, otherwise isn't it a split personality?
It is said that the protector of the film is alluded to Oliver Cromwell, who is a national hero and a military dictator, an important controversial figure in British history, and has also appeared in our middle school history books.
The cartoons have Disney, Pixar, Miyazaki, and Tom Moore, each with its own style and a large number of fans. It's nice to be able to bloom like this!
