The recent Shanghai International Film Festival can be said to be very lively, and there are really many works screened. I finally came to see one last seven nights, in fact, if I hadn't slept last week, I could have grabbed a few more movies. Yesterday, I went to see Masaaki Yuasa's animated film "The Song of Dew That Announces the Dawn". (If you haven't slept, you can even watch the spring supper!) ）
Speaking of Masaaki Yuasa, familiar friends must have known a lot about his peculiar brain holes, rough and crazy paintings and relatively obscure plots. This man has never been a director of commercial animation, and he has always insisted on the path of niche, unpopular works.
Speaking of Masaaki Yuasa's masterpieces, including "Cat Soup", "Four And a Half Myths Series" and other works, after reading it, you will think that this director is not Fukai Bing? Not to mention that Seven Nights thought it was Deep Well Ice when they first met him, but gradually they were also impressed by the style he insisted on.
This time in the cinema to see "The Song of the Dawn of the Dawn", from the beginning is a carnival of pictures, with a very obvious Yuasa Masaaki style, if there is a first contact with his friends may think that his paintings are not all broken, but in fact it is not, because he is like this.
"Song of the Dawn of dawn" here I will not do much spoilers, in the end is a small town, young people, mermaids, music, disasters, etc. Elements of the story, maybe you rely on these words to associate there is a rough plot, for Yuasa Masaaki's fans of this work should be worse than the story, the middle of the plot is probably played too much to play off, the final ending is also a little unclear, after the disaster after a burst of revelry inexplicably interrupted, the mermaid also all disappeared, Only at the end of the story the mermaid protagonist Dew reappears at sea level.
But fortunately, the picture performance is still the level that Masaaki Yuasa should have, the split-lens action and performance technique of the brain hole in the sky is really breathtaking, much stronger than the charming cheap goods that will only sell cute, if Makoto Shinkai is a person who strives for excellence in the picture, then Masaaki Yuasa should be the most casual person on the screen, people do animation is work, he does animation as if he is playing graffiti, the shark-shaped fishman father after hearing Lu's cry for help The picture of the running is really amazing to many people, the action is exaggerated to the extreme, The picture collapses so stylishly, fully showing the anxious state of mind of the fish man's father at that time, and friends who like the normal painting style will probably think "Who am I?" when they see this? Where am I? What am I looking at? ”
Masaaki Yuasa is such a non-mainstream in the industry, many people say that he is ghostly, which is nothing wrong, because the ghost tm can understand your things 233 is also a front-line animation director, his name in China is obviously not as good as other directors is such a reason. This time, "The Song of the Dew That Announces the Dawn" carries his own strong style, and its content is mainly music-
Absurd, fantastic, weird, Masaaki Yuasa's animation can be said not purely for entertainment, but a work of art, just like many people understand art, is to be strange and incomprehensible. It's a pity that I didn't see another work by Masaaki Yuasa this time, "Spring Night Bitter Short Girl Forward!" " can only find a chance later, but the work also gave me a lot of sensory enjoyment, if you are interested in Yuasa Masaaki friends may wish to find his previous works to see it!
