A veiled world independent of the central bank. Finding the constellations from fairy tales Between a young boy and a living garbage

It is Yuusuke Hirota's first film to direct. This movie plays the question of whether the existence of a central bank or having a currency How important is it?

The original is the work of Nishino Akihiro, and after its publication in 2016, it has received such a positive response that it currently has 600,000 copies in print.

A story in Chimney Town that, whether day or night, is shrouded in smog. causing no one to ever see or know the stars in the sky Except for Bruno, who plays the paper play (Kamishibai), who describes it to everyone but no one believes him and accuses him of being a liar, but suddenly disappears, leaving behind only Lubicchi, his son and wife, the people around him. They pointed at Lubicchi, who had convinced his father that there were stars in the sky. causing him to be alone One day on Halloween night, Lubicchi encounters Poupelle, a scumbag, born from a pile of trash. This meeting led the two to go on an adventure to find the stars together.

Recently, I rarely follow children's movies. Because I personally do not care about this kind of business, this Poupelle story goes in the same direction. I appreciate the connection to the story that is still beautiful, looks very well put together. The pace of narration at Pacing is quite slow. It opens with plot contrivances that seem repetitive and dislike that try to play out the warmth, the beauty, the friendship, the exaggeration, instead of the harsh, messy themes that Poupelle had tried to present in the first place.

This story focuses on the use of 3D animation, which, to be honest at the movie level, still has obvious problems with the fluidity and movement of the characters. As for the use of light and shadows, although most of them make them look unattractive against the background. But for the most part, I really liked the shadow play in this regard. (if each scene separately) Super realistic and outstanding Cyberpunk simulation city

The two main characters are designed simply. may not be deeply but no problem Except for the accompanying characters that are not very important. and no interesting dimensions The last character is Lubicch's father, who has a high regard for paternity. he is a story teller which although no one believed or cared But he still conveys the story. Because I still believe that there are still people who are waiting for those stories, which is the truth that everyone has always been looking for. The character Scooper voiced by Shingo Fujimori is very fluid.

As for the tone of feeling, it may not play out the gritty mood in one way or the other. Because the emphasis on other tones is inserted, which is not very harmonious. But he's doing well as a new director on the old team of Studio 4°C since 2000's.

All in all, Poupelle of Chimney Town is a story that conveys one person's dreams. Revealing the truth of the world Or is it just a fairy tale from a fictional story that no one believes? looking for the stars in the sky Between a boy with no friends and rubbish lives a life that is seen as heretical. does not deserve to be present in society Focus on the adventures of men who don't care about danger. There is a small family drama. friendship fun It is a movie suitable for all ages. While there might be some issues that I personally don't really overlook in directing, it's certainly inspiring for someone more or less.

* Slightly added, look at house samyan, it's very good to have both sub TH and ENG together.
