Masaaki Yuasa's "Spring is short, let's go forward!" How do you see it?
If Masaaki Yuasa became the biggest winner of the animation exhibition at the Shanghai Film Festival.
Then, it is also inseparable from the influence of the following animation.
The Song of Dew proclaiming the dawn
The Uta of Lou Heralding
Looking at the painting style, Abu always reminds me of Miyazaki's "Goldfish On the Cliff".
The same theme, but the plot is not a kind at all.
The animated film was released in Japan on May 19, 2017, and did not receive high reviews after its release.
But after it was released on November 1, 2017, Chinese mainland, it won a round of applause.
The current rating on Douban is 8.0 (2414 reviews).
Masaaki Yuasa's work won the Crystal Award for Best Animated Feature at the Annecy International Animated Film Festival in France in June this year, and was nominated for the Best Animated Feature at the 20th Shanghai International Film Festival.
Abu said this Yuasa Masaaki may still feel strange to you, then Abuti has several animation works that almost everyone knows.
The TV anime "Cherry Maruko", which was released in Chinese mainland in 1990, is believed to be known to everyone, and Masaaki Yuasa is the original painting of the entire work.
In the same year, "Crayon Shin-chan", which appeared to the public in the form of a manga, was also published.
In 1992, "Crayon Shin-chan" was staged in Japan and is broadcast to this day.
The small protagonist Shinnosuke Nohara appeared on the screen with a cute and a little yellow personality, and gained a lot of fans.
In "Crayon Shin-chan", Masaaki Yuasa serves as the painting supervisor, setting, original painting, etc.
The above two animation works are convincing enough.
Now Abu has come to show you what I'm going to say today, "The Song of the Dew That Announces the Dawn."
In this movie, the voice of the little heroine Lu Tanihana was the voice of Miyami Mizumizu In Makoto Shinkai's "Your Name".
Set in a Japanese fishing village, Hinocho, the entire film tells a series of stories that happen between the depressed and non-talkative male protagonist Hai and the mermaid female protagonist Lu.
Lu: A cute little mermaid girl, kind and innocent is her label.
A head of green hair, there can also be small fish living in it.
I never wanted to hurt humans, but I was always misunderstood by humans.
Always thinking of living in peace with human beings and being good friends.
Hai: Is a boy with a strange personality who once lived in Tokyo.
The parents did not know why they divorced, and Hai followed his father to the fishing village where his grandfather lived.
He loves music, but he doesn't dare to speak out, and he never likes to communicate with people.
Father and grandfather always believed that the sea should not engage in music, but should study well.
Hai can only put the music he creates on the forum.
Hai posted his own music on the forum and was seen by classmates Yubu and Kunio.
The two have been forming a band and hope to make a difference.
So invited Hai to arrange the music for the band.
But Hai did not dare to join the band, afraid that his father and grandfather would stop him.
When Hai hears Yubu and Kunio practicing songs on Mermaid Island, Hai is visibly moved.
The grandfather of the sea, who has been making umbrellas all day, and the mother of the grandfather, died at sea.
This made Grandpa always hate mermaids, and he believed that mermaids ate people.
In order to explore whether mermaids really exist, the sea decided to go and see.
The first time the three of them went to contact, they heard the mermaid's beautiful song.
At home, the sea also saw the real mermaid for the first time - dew.
Lu wasn't as scary as people say.
On the contrary, Lu looks cute, round, and talks milky.
Moreover, she wants to be good friends with the sea.
As soon as Lu hears the song, she will turn the mermaid's tail into a pair of legs to dance.
Lou was kind.
While with Hai, Hai told her that there was a place in the village where many discarded puppies were locked up.
Lu used her powerful abilities to release all these puppies, biting one by one.
Hai thought that Lu was going to eat these puppies.
However, it was found that the puppies that had been bitten by Dew had become mermaid dogs.
Lu and his dad, as well as many mermaids, love to help people and never hurt people.
Lu is so kind, but she has never been recognized by people.
When people catch mermaids, they have to put them in the sun, and mermaids are most afraid of the sun.
Mermaids, in the sun, will burn on their own.
Sea's band was invited to perform in the village.
Lu followed, and at the show, Lu heard the music and began to dance.
People didn't notice it at first.
But then, as soon as the music stopped, Lu turned back into a mermaid.
Since this time, Lu has become a hot topic of discussion.
At the same time, Hinocho is about to face an unprecedented disaster.
The sea began to rise, and people called this god's punishment, saying that it was caused by mermaids.
Wandering away from home is considered by adults to have been eaten by a mermaid.
So, people began to prepare to catch killer fish.
People always have prejudices against mermaids.
In the play, the mermaid appeared in front of everyone with such a cute face, but was still hunted and killed by everyone.
Whether the little mermaid is dead or not is left for you to find out for yourself.
This animation work, the sense of plot is still very strong.
With the emotional line of the male protagonist Hai and the little mermaid as the main line, many branches are extended.
For example, the divorce of Hai's parents has caused his reclusive personality.
The death of grandpa and mother caused grandpa to always be reluctant to let the sea close to the sea.
The grandmother who appears in the play misunderstands that the mermaid once killed the person she loved.
Yubu's father and grandfather were always sworn enemies, and what happened between the two of them.
Kunifu wants to say something to Youbu but doesn't dare to say it.
As well as the broadcast sister who appears later, they are all important branches of this drama.
These branches, with a wide variety of emotions, make up a perfect emotional animation with a plot.
In addition, there are many tears in this movie.
When the little mermaid is caught, the mermaid father is desperate, and can even sacrifice his own life to protect his daughter.
(Does the mermaid daddy look a little bit like a totoro?) ）
Grandpa died sadly.
But Grandpa also knew that his mother, Haenyeo, was not bitten to death by a mermaid.
The sea girl is dying in the sea, and the mermaid tries to save it, but without success.
The mermaid bites the haenyeo, giving the haenyeo a new life and can remain young forever.
Although Grandpa died, the shadows and hatred that accompanied him all his life disappeared.
Where there is misunderstanding, there must be reconciliation.
The grandmother in the play is the same, holding a fork.
Prepare to kill the mermaid to avenge the man he loves.
But on the way, I saw a long-lost beloved person, in order not to let the elderly grandmother die.
As the mermaid man bit the grandmother, this moment, was not cruel.
They lived together in the vast ocean, which is the home of love and is very touching.
There is also The Little Dog Solang, who has been turned into a mermaid.
He was abandoned by his master, who raised a new valuable dog.
But when the owner is trapped in the water, the precious dog chooses to escape.
Solang, on the other hand, remembered the love of the master and servant, and returned to save the former master.
Perhaps, in the seriousness of animals, there is simply no such word as sorry and forgive.
They are all the kindest.
People always have a bad idea of the existence of mermaids, and we can't explore whether there really is such a thing as a mermaid in the world.
In the "Mermaid" directed by Stephen Chow, the mermaid was also hit by an undeserved disaster.
Whether we should examine ourselves, in fact, they are not harming human beings.
On the contrary, humans have hurt them more.
This movie, as you can know through the title, declares the dawn and bids farewell to the darkness.
The ending is sad and joyful.
But the really kind face and cheerful dance steps in the open air have been deeply retained in Abu's mind.
