That was the movie's message,more or less.There will be hardships in life but as long as you try your best, you will be rewarded. Life rewards the ones with unshakable resolve!
Starting with the art, Gotta admit it was captivating and beautiful. Making you relax through the bright coloring and its childish innocent style.Some say it was way too childish but it's style was just perfect for the messages it wanted to pass.
One can say that the sounds were like a whisper to ones soul,while other say that it was like a gospel. Im with the latter category. Only hearing the, gave me goosebumps while i felt like i was inside a church praying to god. Ofc there were some more "happy go lucky" OSTs but one can find similar ones to almost every movie. Not meaning they were not good, but not worth mentioning or praising. It was normal and normal isn't something bad.
At the beginning, i was pretty bothered by the characters. They were pretty plain,rushed and not well fleshed out. But as the movie continued things got better. Also, one must give special praise to the 2 children. They personalities and how they grew up, how they developed, were just brilliant. But other than the children all other characters are kinda bothersome.
The story as it's said , its pretty simple. Tho the messages this movie want to pass (see 2nd line up) are vital for ones career through life. It will give you strength and motivation in order to move forward and not give up.
-----------------------------------------Personal opinion and weaknesses-------------------------------------
The movie literally trades objectivity and common logic for emotional impact.That would be the greatest fault in my books at least. It's not necessarily bad if you don't notice the logical flaws. But there are just some moments when I just wanted to scream at my screen when i was watching this. Like painful and really exhausting situations presented so plainly like it was a road walk. In other words it may pushes you and inspire you to be strong and that happiness will come. But it's literally badly presented. Let me explain it. Imagine you are playing a game in Easy Difficulty. That would be Wolf Children's message. Tho in reality the difficulty is actually "Very Hard". (Got it? It presents the struggles in life easy while they are actually pretty Hard)
Also notable and big mistake, it presents reality as a pretty forgiving and open world full of opportunities if one's resolve is standing still. World isn't forgiving and sheer resolve isn't enough to make you survive in it. So the main problem is exaggerates and make reality seems like a peace of cake. So in other words it filling your head with Half false believes. (Tho from some that's considered gud, but not always)
Those were the big issues. I also was kinda bothered with some CG scenes and how some characters had unbelievable strong spirit. Additionally , i would like if some of my questions got answered. (minor ones but still they remain unanswered)
Overall, its a great and replenishing movie. You will feel lighter and more motivated. But just keep in your mind that reality isn't working not 50% that way. But well you got the message.
Reasons to watch it:
-Calming,heartwarming,beginner friendly.
-You can say it a "must watch".
-Beastiality! ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
