With the new broadcast of the autumn file, there is such a work, its painting style seems to be quite maverick, the popularity is still relatively low, and even many viewers have not heard of the fan, but the audience who has seen it has given praise. It can be said that at the moment when a large number of commercial animations are filled with Dragon Pride and other worlds, this animation is based on nothing more than a classical literary novel, "The Tale of Pingjia".
Classic original
"The Tale of Heijia" is adapted from a classical Japanese novel, and the "Tale of Genji" is called "Japanese Classical Literature Shuangbi", and their historical status is almost the same as that of the four masterpieces in China. The original work of "The Tale of the Heijia Family" is a classic history book, mainly from the perspective of Hei Kiyomori, telling the complex and cruel struggle between the two major samurai forces and the Genji family, which has both the subtlety of court politics and the temperature of human grievances, and also has a vivid depiction of the cruel and cunning battles between the samurai.
The lineup is luxurious
The risk of adapting a classical history book into an animated work is extremely high, as the saying goes: if you are not careful, it is easy to lose everything. Faced with such an influential work, the person who took over this heavy responsibility was to supervise Naoko Yamada. Presumably, when they hear the name "Naoko Yamada", many people will think of the "god" of Japanese anime. From "Light Tone", to "The Shape of Sound" and "Liz and the Blue Bird", Naoko Yamada's style and the "texture" of the work have been inseparable, and even the meticulous grasp of the character's local actions has been achieved.
This work adds the original character "Pipa", a girl who can know the future but has no power to tie the chicken, both staying out of the matter and participating in it, looking at the historical process of the Ping family from the perspective of the audience, and the Ping family is like the prosperity and decline of various dynasties in ancient China. In fact, it is not uncommon to create new overhead characters in animation works with historical themes in many Japanese comics.
From the perspective of producing voice actors, not only well-known voice actors such as Nobuhiko Okamoto and Hirotaka Sakurai have joined, but also the old partner scriptor Reiko Yoshida has cooperated. The whole time is different from the grand music that begins at the beginning, but gradually leads to the climax, with the tone of the atmosphere changing, the ups and downs, the ups and downs, so that the process of narrating historical events is completely boring, so that the viewer unconsciously sinks into it.
Screen unique
In order to balance the bloody heaviness of history, the animation "The Tale of Pingjia" has been adjusted in terms of plot adaptation and picture design. All the bloody scenes are avoided by the shifting camera, focusing more on the daily life in the Heishi mansion, the background of the watercolor lightly laid out, the classical characters simply outlined, the Yamada-style pictures, and the fresh and healing light color system is also full of Japanese tenderness, highlighting the light and unique style of "The Tale of the Ping family".
epilogue
From the perspective of previous thoughts, I have always scorned Japanese culture, feeling that Japanese culture originates from our country, and even think that only Chinese culture in the world has a long history and is profound, until I contact "The Tale of Pingjia" to have the opportunity to understand and feel this kind of literary reprocessing work. All in all, the elements shown in "The Tale of The Peace Family" are very rich, and in order to fully understand it, it is necessary not only to have a certain understanding and accumulation of Japanese culture and history, but also to have a certain understanding of what director Naoko Yamada wants to express. Of course, in this era of commercial animation everywhere, it is rare and fortunate that such animation works can appear. At the same time, I also hope that Guoman can learn from this and explore its own path.
Well, I don't know what everyone thinks of "The Tale of pingjia"? Welcome to leave a comment to tell me Oh!
